“I consider my time in the Ph.D. Sociology program at Carleton University to be one of most valuable experiences of my academic career. I was pleased to discover from that from my early days in the programme, the faculty and staff in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology were committed to their students’ academic success and enthusiastically dedicated their attention and energy to ensure the programme’s continued excellence. As a Ph.D. student, I have always felt that the Department has actively promoted a culture of ongoing learning, curiosity, and collaboration, all of which have shaped my experience in the program and prepared me to a rewarding career ahead. Over the years, I participated in many departmental learning events including conferences, workshops, and colloquiums that served as valuable opportunities for me in the areas of academic writing, presentations, publishing, and scholarship applications. Under the supervision of Dr. Augustine Park, I have learned how to be a more critical thinker, advanced my research skills, and received academic training that has greatly contributed to my professional development and achievements after completion of my doctoral degree.”
