PhD Candidates (Education Psychology) Miranda Field and Shana Cardinal are recipients of Indigenous Peoples’ Health Research Centre (IPHRC) and the Saskatchewan Centre for Patient Oriented Research (SCPOR) Research Awards. Each has been awarded $30,000 for their research, which aligns with IPHRC/SCPOR’s goals.

Miranda’s research will focus on the role of place within Indigenous mental health healing and learning and Shana’s research will focus on Indigenous perspectives of intergenerational trauma on student mental health.

The IPHRC/SCPOR award provides them with opportunity to pursue studies and research full-time, as well as to participate as IPHRC/SCPOR Trainees within a “growing hub of people engaging in decolonizing and emancipatory research that is designed to continuously improve the health and well-being of Indigenous peoples in Saskatchewan.” Congratulations Miranda and Shana
