History doctoral student Stefano Tijerina has received a Doctoral Student Research Award from the Canadian Embassy to support archival research in Ottawa on the historical developments behind the construction of Canadian-Colombian relations during the government of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau (1968-1984). Doctoral Student Research Awards offer doctoral students an opportunity to conduct part of their dissertation research in Canada. The program is intended for full-time students at accredited four-year colleges and universities and whose dissertations are related in substantial part to the study of Canada. This year, two awards were given to environmental topics, one to research on immigration and one (Tijerina) on Canadian foreign policy. For more information on the award please go here.
