Facilitating Academic Success: Targeted Strategies for Enhancing Undergraduate Writing
Undergraduate students face numerous challenges in the transition to university with respect to academic writing. Using a data-driven approach, this project will identify essential academic writing skills to support student success in the increasingly digital and varied academic landscape. Chloë’s expertise in writing studies and student engagement informs this work, as she aims to build a targeted writing strategies course attuned to the diverse needs of Carleton’s students.

Studies in Art and Culture – Music

Digital Music Literacy in Scholarship and Pedagogy
University music programs often foreground European-originated music notation and cultural traditions more than other global and contemporary practices, excluding those without previous specialized study of Western art music. This project explores the pedagogical state of digital music literacy by contributing to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) in the field, and will create and curate inclusive, technology-focused curricula and instructional resources—including digital audio workstations, sound synthesis, and AI tools for music creation and analysis—using lenses of decolonization and EDI.

Christopher Eaket
English Language and Literature; College of the Humanities

Christopher is interested in the intersection between media and embodiment, the humanistic philosophies behind science fiction, and the politics of climate change. He has taught a range of classes from Shakespeare to Digital Humanities, Theatre History, Sci-fi and Philosophy, to Eco-Lit.
Kim Dudley Lassiter
Psychology

Kim is delighted to place her experience as a clinical psychologist in service to students at Carleton, her alma mater, through teaching courses related to mental health, substance use disorders and the profession of clinical psychology. These courses are an ideal opportunity to enhance students’ self-awareness and reflectivity and to de-stigmatize mental and substance use disorders.
Christopher McGrath
Philosophy
Christopher is interested in the historical development of and the systematic relationship between a cluster of themes that, he argues, are connected in an important way and constitute a certain tradition of philosophical reflection: the themes of aesthetics and the philosophy of art, the teleological and aesthetic experience of nature, and God and religion. He has primarily studied Aristotle, Hume, Kant, and Schleiermacher in this regard, and hope to broaden these studies historically.
