I started in the Public Affairs and Policy Management program before transferring into Human Rights and Social Justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is it specifically that attracted you to study Political Economy at Carleton?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I feel like everyone says it is because of the program\u2019s interdisciplinary approach, but it is so true! I think for myself what drew me most to the program was the critical orientation of the program and the cross-appointed faculty. I did not want to enter a program designed to tell students how the world works and to teach them how to reproduce the status quo. Rather, I wanted to be in a program that encourages critical inquiry of social relations and productive forces for the purpose of transformative change(s). If you are like me, then I would definitely recommend this program because it has met all my expectations in this regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>My areas of research interest include\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Settler colonialism, land-class relations, extractivism, conservation, and human\/non-human relations<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What activities have you been involved in lately?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did a lot of work with the Hassan Diab Support Committee throughout 2023 to bring attention to the ongoing persecution that Dr. Diab (a Carleton University instructor) faces from the French State. I also correspond with an incarcerated pen pal as a practice of abolitionist politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since starting the program, I have joined the organizing committee for our annual graduate student conference, I am working as a TA and as an RA with the Extinction Paradox project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What advice would you give to a prospective Political Economy graduate student?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Slow down and take your time, whether that is with your readings, your coursework, or any other school-related responsibilities. As burgeoning political economists, I think it is important for us to critically refuse the exploitation of our labour time (as much as possible). I also would advise you to follow your gut when it comes to research interests \u2013 don\u2019t be afraid to pursue new interests even if they are different from what you studied in your undergrad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7809,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"cu_people_first_name":"Fiona","cu_people_last_name":"Doyle","cu_people_initials":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_people_type":[111],"cu_people_expertise":[],"class_list":["post-7808","cu_people","type-cu_people","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cu_people_type-2023-cohort"],"acf":{"cu_people_job_title":"Settler colonialism, land-class relations, extractivism, conservation, and human\/non-human relations","cu_people_degree":"M.A.","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":"www.linkedin.com\/in\/fionadoyle9","cu_people_bluesky":"","cu_people_twitter":"","cu_people_instagram":"","cu_people_facebook":"","cu_people_website":"","cu_people_orcid":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicaleconomy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/7808","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicaleconomy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicaleconomy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_people"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicaleconomy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicaleconomy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/7808\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicaleconomy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7809"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicaleconomy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7808"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_people_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicaleconomy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_type?post=7808"},{"taxonomy":"cu_people_expertise","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicaleconomy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_expertise?post=7808"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
