Sadiya Ansari, one of the 2021 Travers Fellows, has published her story in The Walrus.
Her timely piece, Child Care Revolution: What Canada Can Learn from Germany, looks at the promise of $10-a-day childcare. It was published as the May cover story in the Walrus.
Ansari is a freelance journalist based in Berlin whose work has appeared in publications including, the Guardian , Maclean’s , VICE , Refinery29 , Policy Options , Chatelaine , Toronto Star and the Globe and Mail . She was announced as one of the R. James Travers Fellowship winners in April of last year.
The Fellowship, named after legendary journalist Jim Travers, was created to help finance a significant foreign reporting project by a Canadian journalist working in any medium. It provides an annual award of up to $25,000 to cover travel, research and reporting expenses and a stipend for a journalist.
“International reporting that is heavily research-based is increasingly difficult to fund, and I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to pursue a story with implications for an urgent policy debate in Canada,” Ansari said in a Carleton Newsroom article. “The support I’m receiving through the Travers Fellowship is also particularly meaningful for me as a freelancer, because there are so few opportunities that allow me to take on major projects like this one.”
Ansari’s is hosting a roundtable to discuss her story on Apr. 21. The event is open to the public. Read her full story here.
