EURUS would like to warmly congratulate Professor Martin Geiger who has been awarded a 2016 Capital Educators’ Award. The Award recognizes the achievements of outstanding educators and celebrates public education in our community – across the entire spectrum from kindergarten to PhD. Professor Geiger is being honoured for his outstanding work and innovation in terms of mentoring students and actively involving them in his research. In particular, his collaborative research efforts through the Mobility & Politics Research Collective (or “MobPoli”) have actively promoted the study of migration, mobility, refugees and borders and made it more accessible to students interested in the field and aspiring scholars.
Professor Geiger had this to say:
“I am extremely happy to have won this prestigious award for EURUS, Political Science, the Faculty of Public Affairs, and Carleton University. I wish to dedicate this award to all my outstanding collaborators in the Mobility & Politics collective, all the students in EURUS and PSCI, my mentor William Walters, and my many other great colleagues in EURUS and Political Science. You all have been supporting me tremendously since my arrival here at Carleton. This award means a lot of me and my family! The award is all of yours!”
