I had no idea what to expect, but the Humanities program\u2019s small class sizes and dedicated professors created an intimate environment where I was encouraged to leave no stone unturned. Dissecting foundational texts and challenging conventional thinking shaped how I approach reporting, helping me understand the fault lines in our society and how to build understanding through storytelling. That experience has been invaluable as I start my career as a sports journalist.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7926 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Evan-Annett-160x126.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"126\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Evan-Annett-160x126.jpg 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Evan-Annett-240x189.jpg 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Evan-Annett-400x316.jpg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Evan-Annett-768x606.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Evan-Annett-1536x1212.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Evan-Annett-2048x1616.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Evan-Annett-360x284.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/2023\/alumni-profile-evan-annett-2005\/\">Evan Annett (B.Hum 2005)<\/a><\/h3>\n<h4>Digital presentation editor at The Globe and Mail<\/h4>\n<p>In the summer of 2005, when I earned my BHums degree and joined The Globe and Mail copy desk, it felt as if everything and nothing in my life had changed. At Carleton, I had spent four years reading voraciously, analyzing the core ideas behind great historical and intellectual events, discussing those ideas every week with the smartest people I knew, and summarizing my conclusions in clear English. At The Globe, all that changed was the style of writing and urgency of events. Also, they paid me.<\/p>\n<p>I had known since high school that I wanted to be a journalist, but believed a broad liberal-arts education could help me avoid j-school groupthink. I could still access Carleton&#8217;s journalism know-how by volunteering at The Charlatan, and by convincing professors to let me into indispensable classes such as media law. (The combined BJ\/Hums honours program could have made that easier, but it wouldn\u2019t exist for another decade.) At the College of Humanities, I learned the most important skill of journalism: How to investigate the why of things, to be curious about where cultures, beliefs and institutions come from.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/2023\/alumni-profile-evan-annett-2005\/\">Read more.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7810 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kathleen-Caulderwood-Taking-Pictures-160x213.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kathleen-Caulderwood-Taking-Pictures-160x213.jpg 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kathleen-Caulderwood-Taking-Pictures-240x320.jpg 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kathleen-Caulderwood-Taking-Pictures-400x533.jpg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kathleen-Caulderwood-Taking-Pictures-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kathleen-Caulderwood-Taking-Pictures-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kathleen-Caulderwood-Taking-Pictures-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kathleen-Caulderwood-Taking-Pictures-360x480.jpg 360w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kathleen-Caulderwood-Taking-Pictures-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/people\/kathleen-caulderwood\/\">Kathleen Caulderwood<\/a> (B.Hum 2011)<\/h3>\n<h4>Producer at ABC News<\/h4>\n<p>This is a little cheesy, but I applied to the Bachelor of Humanities program because I aspired to be the next Indiana Jones, jet-setting around the globe, meeting fascinating people, unearthing ancient treasures, and embarking on epic adventures.<\/p>\n<p>While I may not own a fedora or any priceless relics (yet!), I did manage to get out of the library and embark on my own journey as a journalist and documentary filmmaker, largely thanks to my experiences at Carleton.<\/p>\n<p>As students, we were taught to be skeptical, ask tough questions, process vast amounts of information, and appreciate beauty in the world. This skillset has been the best sidekick in my career as a reporter, producer, and cameraperson at outlets like VICE News, the Guardian, the Village Voice, and ABC News.<\/p>\n<p>The little things come in handy as well. For example, I never expected to be using knowledge gained from those early-morning art history classes on a daily basis in my life, but I often find myself drawing on principles of color and composition when filming scenes or setting up interview shots\u2014whether I&#8217;m tagging along with a militia group in Nigeria, gliding through the Louisiana swamps on a crawfish boat, or capturing NASA engineers as they complete their latest project on Mars. When I&#8217;m working on investigative projects, I sometimes spend weeks combing through boxes of obscure, tedious, and convoluted government documents, but that&#8217;s not such a big deal for anyone who has navigated through Hegel. Even my exchange year in India inspired multiple story ideas that I later returned to film in Kashmir.<\/p>\n<p>I realize now that emulating a real-life Henry Jones Jr. might not be the best idea, given all the shadiness in the world of antiquities. But I&#8217;m still traveling internationally, meeting intriguing characters, and, in a way, doing quite a bit of digging.<\/p>\n<p>In short, I believe that in deciding to pursue a Bachelor of Humanities at Carleton, I chose wisely.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1868 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-jennifer-carswell-160x224.jpg\" alt=\"jennifer carswell\" width=\"160\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-jennifer-carswell-160x224.jpg 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-jennifer-carswell-240x335.jpg 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-jennifer-carswell.jpg 322w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><a title=\"Jen Carswell (2005)\" href=\"http:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/2014\/jen-carswell-2005-2\/\">Jennifer Carswell<\/a> (B.Hum 2005)<\/h3>\n<h4>Senior Broadcast Journalist<\/h4>\n<p>BBC World Television, London, England<\/p>\n<p>My love of stories, as a window into humanity and what makes us truly human, took root during the Humanities program and has blossomed ever since. \u00a0On a regular basis, I go back to Humanities basics by examining original sources and documents and trying as best as I can to get behind, underneath, and around what is really there to figure out what is important. <a title=\"Jen Carswell (2005)\" href=\"http:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/2014\/jen-carswell-2005-2\/\">Read More<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"slideme\"><dl class=\"slideme__list\"><dt class=\"slideme__term\"><a href=\"#slideme-more-broadcasting-journalism-media\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"slideme-more-broadcasting-journalism-media\" class=\"slideme__heading slideme__trigger\">More Broadcasting Journalism Media<\/a><\/dt><dd class=\"slideme__description\" id=\"slideme-more-broadcasting-journalism-media\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><p><\/p>\n<h3><a title=\"Alumni Profile\u2014Danielle Kubes (2009)\" href=\"http:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/2014\/alumni-profile-danielle-kubes-2009\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1815\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-danielle-kubes.jpeg\" alt=\"danielle kubes\" width=\"160\" height=\"160\" \/>Danielle Kubes<\/a> (B.Hum 2009)<\/h3>\n<h4>Freelance Journalist<\/h4>\n<p>Humanities prepare you for what comes after Humanities because you\u2019re required to take a music class, a science class, a philosophy class, a history class, and a literature class \u2014 and in doing so you will gain a breadth and depth of knowledge upon which\u00a0our modern world was founded, and therefore be better able to navigate it.\u00a0<a title=\"Alumni Profile\u2014Danielle Kubes (2009)\" href=\"http:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/2014\/alumni-profile-danielle-kubes-2009\/\">Read More<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>More positions held by B.Hum alumni:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Digital Editor, The Globe and Mail, Toronto<\/li>\n<li>Video Journalist at The Jerusalem Post, Jerusalem<\/li>\n<li>Assistant Producer, Al Jazeera Media Network<\/li>\n<li>Multimedia Reporter, currently working on the International Business Times money desk in New York<\/li>\n<li>Videographer and Web Team Intern at Center for Strategic and International Studies, with Think Tank Industry<\/li>\n<li>Editor-in-Chief at Blu Inc Media \u2013 LP Luxury Properties Magazine<\/li>\n<li>Freelance Journalist at Sun Media<\/li>\n<li>Senior Writer at Interactive Investor<\/li>\n<li>Senior News Editor, PPI Asia at RISI<\/li>\n<li>Reporter for Toronto Star&#8217;s Calgary Bureau<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p><\/dd><dl><\/div>\n<h2><a id=\"Business\"><\/a>Business<\/h2>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-3034 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-sarah-cathrae-2-160x107.jpg\" alt=\"people - sarah cathrae 2\" width=\"160\" height=\"107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-sarah-cathrae-2-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-sarah-cathrae-2-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-sarah-cathrae-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-sarah-cathrae-2-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-sarah-cathrae-2-360x240.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/><a title=\"Alumni Profile\u2014Sarah Cathrae (2001)\" href=\"http:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/2014\/alumni-profile-sarah-cathrae-2001\/\">Sarah Cathrae<\/a> (B.Hum 2001)<\/h3>\n<h4>Managing Director<br \/>\nSuske Capital<\/h4>\n<p>I have used these gifts towards many pursuits.

A big part of the work I do at CMH is listening to stories shared by Indigenous peoples and thinking about how to interpret and amplify these stories (where appropriate) for national and international audiences. Exploring diverse texts, ideas, and stories from around the world through the Humanities program set me up with the critical listening, thinking, and communication skills that I use in my daily work.<\/p>\n<p>As a HUMS student, I felt empowered to shape my own course of study. The double-major with Art History helped me understand the ideas introduced in our HUMS courses in relation to global and Indigenous art histories. Opportunities for travel abroad further expanded our horizons in the third year, and in the fourth year, mentorship placements at cultural institutions in the capital region give students a behind-the-scenes look at potential career paths after graduation. The program \u2013 with its small seminar classes and close and frequent contact with professors \u2013 really helps students develop the skills needed to prepare for careers across the humanities and social sciences.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1903 \" src=\"http:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-catherine-sinclair-160x107.jpg\" alt=\"catherine sinclair\" width=\"176\" height=\"118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-catherine-sinclair-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-catherine-sinclair-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-catherine-sinclair-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-catherine-sinclair-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-catherine-sinclair-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-catherine-sinclair.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 176px) 100vw, 176px\" \/><a title=\"Alumni Profile\u2014Catherine Sinclair (2001)\" href=\"http:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/2014\/alumni-profile-catherine-sinclair-2001\/\">Catherine Sinclair<\/a> (B.

Thanks to my time in the College, I have never lost sight of the broader human context that makes my philosophical pursuits worthwhile. I understand myself not merely to be offering a solution to a dry intellectual problem, or yet another minor interpretive variation on some well worked-over text, but to be trying to help all of us better to understand ourselves, each other, and the world in which we live. The Bachelor of Humanities has helped keep my research grounded in what really matters and has been indispensable for my philosophical and human development. Without it, I doubt I&#8217;d have been well positioned intelligently to pursue an academic career.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7111 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Katie-160x273.jpg\" alt=\"Katie Jourdeuil\" width=\"160\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Katie-160x273.jpg 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Katie-240x410.jpg 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Katie-400x684.jpg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Katie-360x615.jpg 360w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Katie.jpg 522w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/>Katie Jourdeuil<\/h3>\n<h4>Ph.D. Candidate in Political Studies,\u00a0Queen&#8217;s University<\/h4>\n<p>The Bachelor of Humanities program provided the foundation for my academic career\u2014not only by introducing me to the foundational texts in Western philosophy (on which I continue to rely in my work and teaching) but by placing those texts in a wider cultural context. While a student at the College, I learned not only to deconstruct philosophical arguments but to see these arguments as part of a larger conversation about human experience and the nature of community. I carry this perspective with me in my graduate studies and in my daily life. What I loved most about the BHum program, however, was the student experience. The smaller class sizes generate a tight-knit cohort who support one another through the four years in the program. I have so many fond memories of studying for hours in the lounge, cheering on my classmates at Fight Night, and attending music nights. The friends I made at the College are among my closest, and we continue to support one another through our diverse career paths.<\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-7116\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Katherine-160x120.jpg\" alt=\"Katherine Coady\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Katherine-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Katherine-240x180.jpg 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Katherine-400x301.jpg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Katherine-360x271.jpg 360w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Katherine.jpg 601w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/>Katherine Coady<\/h3>\n<h4>Disabilities Coordinator and Learning Strategist<br \/>\nCarleton University<\/h4>\n<p>Now that I have 10+ years working at two different post-secondary institutions and I have seen how isolated students in larger programs can feel, I have developed an even deeper appreciation for both the connectivity between peers fostered through the Humanities Program as well as the structure of the program itself, providing a foundation and guidance throughout the four-year degree.

But that being said, I think there are skills that you acquire here that start to set you apart when you are in a workplace. This is what you do as a project manager \u2014 working with different stakeholders on something that a business or an organization is trying to accomplish, being able to negotiate trade-offs between two different competing interests that people have, arguing both sides, being able to consider that two things could be true at the same time, reconstructing an argument for somebody else and summarizing it really quickly, understanding value and where you think value is. If you have to direct a couple of million dollar budget for the government, what should you direct the money towards? It should be something that\u2019s valuable. And again, these are things that I didn\u2019t even realize were skills that this program gave me.<\/p>\n<div class=\"content__video\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ian Hartlen\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WTZmdMJMeEw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amandahadi.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-7124\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Amanda-Hadi-2.jpg\" alt=\"Amanda Hadi\" width=\"120\" height=\"180\" \/>Amanda Hadi<\/a> (B.Hum. 2010)<\/h3>\n<h4>Senior Technical Talent Sourcer, Shopify<br \/>\nPreviously: Programmer, Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF)<\/h4>\n<p>I found the route that I could most easily translate in terms of my skills: I\u2019m a good communicator, I like copy editing, I like reading and researching. I would tell employers, \u201cIf I don\u2019t have the skills you\u2019re looking for, I promise I can learn them very quickly.\u201d For instance, when the Art Gallery of Ontario was looking to hire a new head of social media, I showed them my portfolio and I said, \u201cA lot of this was done for one tiny startup indie opera company. But I promise you, I can run a full-scale institution\u2019s social media accounts. Just let me try, and let me blow your socks off.\u201d I think I was the least &#8216;qualified&#8217; candidate they had in the interview pipeline. They were interviewing people who had done social media professionally for at least a couple of years. But I studied in a program that made me understand visual media and storytelling and the historical context behind the art. Being able to use technical apps is not enough when it comes to explaining art online. So that\u2019s how I got the job, pitching them that: &#8220;I\u2019m a really good liberal arts graduate. Trust me, you want me in charge of the keys to the car. Someone else will blow it. They will write something wrong. They\u2019ll misspell it. Or they\u2019ll, worst of all, make some cultural mistake when representing a piece of art.&#8221; So the context that I was able to show them in the research that I do before creating engaging posts, I think, is what got me the job. And then I persuaded them to keep me on by just demonstrating my work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amandahadi.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><u>Read More<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"content__video\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Amanda Hadi\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hZJ0NNGHErQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-7126\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Douglas-Soltys-160x142.jpg\" alt=\"Douglas Soltys\" width=\"160\" height=\"142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Douglas-Soltys-160x142.jpg 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Douglas-Soltys-240x214.jpg 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Douglas-Soltys-360x320.jpg 360w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/Douglas-Soltys.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/>Douglas Soltys<\/h3>\n<h4>Founder and Editor-in-Chief,<br \/>\nBetaKit Incorporated<\/h4>\n<p>Once you sit in a professional setting, you realize that having been in the Humanities and discussing ideas every week, and doing difficult readings, has put you miles ahead of everyone else in that room.

I have always connected my success in legal studies to the College \u2013 for me, law was a whole new way to think, which my undergraduate work had already prepared me for. After that training, I had the opportunity to work as a Ministerial Policy Advisor, for a government agency, and now as Director of Policy at the Wellesley Institute. In my current role I have the opportunity to think, write, and work to advance policy changes that would reduce health inequities and improve the social\u00a0determinants of health &#8211; to help ensure that people don\u2019t get sick more and die younger because of things they can\u2019t change. Through all of \u00a0these opportunities the ability to work in entirely different ways throughout the day has been of enormous benefit. I look forward to continuing to apply not the specifics of what I learned, but the ability to handle the breadth of thought, in the future.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More Public Policy \u2014 Government<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Senior Ethics Advisor at Canadian Border Services Agency<\/li>\n<li>Senior Policy Advisor at Minister\u2019s Office, Ministry of Natural Resources<\/li>\n<li>Senior Legislative Design Specialist at Ontario Ministry of Finance<\/li>\n<li>Chief, Screening Oversight and International Operations, Aviation Security Operations at Transport Canada<\/li>\n<li>Policy Analyst at Passport Program \u2013 Citizenship and Immigration Canada<\/li>\n<li>Junior Policy Analyst at Public Works and Government Services Canada \u2013 Office of Small and Medium Enterprises<\/li>\n<li>Trade, High Commission of Canada in the UK<\/li>\n<li>Team Lead, Policy, Ontario Ministry of Health<\/li>\n<li>Policy Officer, National Defence<\/li>\n<li>Strategic Communications Advisor (Global Affairs)<\/li>\n<li>Analyst, Library of Parliament (policy research)<\/li>\n<li>Senior Policy Advisor to the National Chief, Congress of Aboriginal Peoples (CAP)<\/li>\n<li>Property Portfolio Analyst at DFATD | MAECD<\/li>\n<li>Marine Surveying Assistant at Transport Canada<\/li>\n<li>Program Support Officer at Citizenship and Immigration Canada<\/li>\n<li>Grievance Analyst at Correctional Service of Canada<\/li>\n<li>Professional Development Award Recipient at IDRC<\/li>\n<li>Administrative Assistant at Senate of Canada<\/li>\n<li>Legislative Assistant at H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Laverdi\u00e8re, MP, Official Opposition Critic for International Development<\/li>\n<li>Policy Advisor at Ontario Ministry of Labour<\/li>\n<li>Constituency Assistant at Legislative Assembly of Ontario<\/li>\n<li>Poll Clerk at Elections Ontario<\/li>\n<li>Policy Analyst at Worker\u2019s Compensation Board of Nova Scotia<\/li>\n<li>Secretary at Adult Education Division \u2013 Labour and Advanced Education Nova Scotia<\/li>\n<li>Case Manager\/Regional Consultant at Public Guardian &amp; Trustee of B.C.<\/li>\n<li>Planner, Development Review Urban Area at City of Ottawa<\/li>\n<li>Outreach Coordinator \u2013 Niagara Region Transit at Niagara Region<\/li>\n<li>Volunteer Courthouse Support Worker at Elizabeth Fry Society<\/li>\n<li>Policy Analyst and Researcher at Canadian Alliance of Student Associations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a id=\"Publishing\"><\/a>Publishing<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Editor of Canadian Forest Industries and Canadian Biomass at Annex Publishing &amp; Printing Inc.<\/li>\n<li>Editorial Assistant and Assistant to the Publisher, Random House of Canada Limited<\/li>\n<li>Copywriter at McMillan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More Publishing<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Digital Sales &amp; Marketing Intern at HarperCollins Canada<\/li>\n<li>Freelance Writer, Copy-Editor, Research Assistant, and Overall Creative Person<\/li>\n<li>Freelance Editor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a id=\"Science\"><\/a>Science<\/h2>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2796 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-bradley-laflamme-160x106.jpg\" alt=\"bradley laflamme\" width=\"160\" height=\"106\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-bradley-laflamme-160x106.jpg 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-bradley-laflamme-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-bradley-laflamme-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-bradley-laflamme-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-bradley-laflamme-360x239.jpg 360w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-bradley-laflamme.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/carleton.ca\/bhum\/2015\/alumni-profile-bradley-laflamme-2015\/\">Bradley Laflamme<\/a>\u00a0(B.Hum-Biology 2015)<\/h3>\n<h4>Graduate Student in\u00a0Biology\/Biochemistry<br \/>\nUniversity of Toronto<\/h4>\n<p>When science courses are combined with Humanities courses that ask students to engage with ideas, rather than to categorize them as fact or fiction, there is a perfect balance.
