Supervising degrees
Working with this supervisor
I am unavailable to supervise due to a lack of sufficient grant funds. I will accept an inquiry, with the caveat that as a qualitative researcher I do not have any access to the large grant funding pools that are required to support the mandatory graduate student stipend amounts. Therefore, student competitiveness and willingness to apply for tri-council and/or provincial graduate training awards is imperative. I will also consider co-supervisor arrangements where the topic has some fit with my research expertise.
Please forward your CV, transcript and a writing sample (any format) with your inquiry.
2025-26 stipend CSM levels

Please note that students in our faculty cannot be self-funded and must ensure that a supervisor has funding already in place to support them for the full length of their degree.
