The opportunity to study with such great faculty, not to mention a wonderful cohort of fellow graduate students, provided me with the environment and tools needed to grow as an academic. Since graduating I have published dozens of articles and book chapters, many of which are the result of collaborations and connections established as a graduate student in the department.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"cu_people_first_name":"Scott","cu_people_last_name":"Pruysers","cu_people_initials":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_people_type":[],"cu_people_expertise":[],"class_list":["post-32502","cu_people","type-cu_people","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"cu_people_job_title":"","cu_people_degree":"","cu_building":false,"cu_people_office_num":"","cu_people_pronoun":"none","cu_people_designation":"","cu_people_email":"","cu_people_phone":"","cu_people_phone_ext":"","cu_people_linkedin":"","cu_people_bluesky":"","cu_people_twitter":"","cu_people_instagram":"","cu_people_facebook":"","cu_people_website":"","cu_people_orcid":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/polisci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/32502","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/polisci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/polisci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_people"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/polisci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/polisci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/32502\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38475,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/polisci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/32502\/revisions\/38475"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/polisci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32502"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_people_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/polisci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_type?post=32502"},{"taxonomy":"cu_people_expertise","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/polisci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_expertise?post=32502"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
