Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

The proposed scholarly activity is the development of exploratory research into systems within art and academia and how they interact with the intersections of being a caregiver/mother, artist, and academic within a Canadian context. I will gather research on this topic via a course of interviews with practicing artist-academic-mothers and collecting existing published research on related themes.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

As a student Research Assistant, the student will aid in the administrative side of the research process – being lead on communications, transcriptions, and data management. This is a continuation of the student working in this RA position last spring and summer under funding from a SIG grant through the Office of Research. 

How will you support learners in completing the project?

I will support the student through frequent meetings and check ins; constant mentorship; and through providing information, training, and resources where necessary. Most of the training has already happened as we have previously worked together on this project and have established a good working relationship.
