CEHD Research In Press: February 2024
NEWS
Dr. Pempho Chinkondenji won the Comparative and International Education Society (CIES), 2024 Joyce Cain Award for Distinguished Research on People of African Descent. Pempho received this award for her article titled, “Schoolgirl pregnancy, dropout or pushout?: An Ubuntucentric re-construction of the education for student mothers in Malawi.” Each year with the Joyce Cain Award, CIES recognizes an outstanding scholarly article that explores themes related to people of African descent, reflects the scholarly purpose of the Society, and showcases excellence, namely originality and methodological, theoretical, and empirical rigor. She will receive this award (together with the outstanding dissertation award) in two weeks at the 2024 CIES Conference in Miami, Florida.
Drs. Ryan Flinn and Karla Fehr received a grant from the College of Arts & Sciences Multi-investigator Seed Grants Initiative. The proposal is entitled, “Mechanisms Linking Sleep and Substance Use Among College Students Who Use Substances Frequently”.
Dr. Josh Hunter and GRO.UND is collaborating on a grant ($3,250) with Grand Forks Public Health and NDSU Extension from ND Health and Human Services for a school garden project at Head Start at Lake Agassiz Elementary. By May 31, 2024, their team will increase footage of the current gardening space, increase the integrity of all gardens on site and create a space for pollinators at the Grand Forks Head Start location. Also, during the month of April and May, 2024, our team will offer weekly opportunities for students to learn about gardening through hands-on experiences. This grant will provide the necessary supplies needed for this project.
UND Graduate Research Achievement Day took place on February 27th (online) and 28th (on-campus). Well over 400 people took part in this event, whether as presenters, judges, or volunteers to see and talk with students about their research.
