\n Sociology PhD Student Greg Brown Wins Fulbright Scholarship\n <\/h1>\n \n \n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Carleton PhD Candidate Gregory R. Brown has been awarded a 2016-17 Fulbright Scholarship. Fulbright Canada<\/a> supports extraordinary students and scholars and offers new and exciting opportunities to prospective students and alumni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brown will use the $15,000 USD award funds to attend the School of Criminal Justice at the University of Albany for nine months, beginning in September, where he will work closely with policing researchers and collect data from front-line police officers at five large American police departments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brown\u2019s current research investigates how police feel about, and behave in response to, their new visibility and a public that is more engaged with how society is policed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a 2013 study, he spoke with 231 frontline officers from Ottawa and Toronto to find out their reactions about the effects of social media, camera phones and other technology on policing. Many officers shared that they had modified their on-the-job behavior for this reason. Brown\u2019s study was recently published in the British Journal of Criminology.<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brown has presented his research to various audiences \u2013 from the World Social Science Forum, to the American Society of Criminology, to the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was a police officer for 28 years with a large-city police department in central Canada. Throughout his policing career he worked in front-line patrol, public order policing, narcotics investigations, homicide and major case investigations, and then as a platoon supervisor in a downtown patrol division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After completing his Master\u2019s degree at Carleton, he chose to continue hisdoctoral studies <\/a>in Sociology<\/a> at Carleton, in large part, because of his supervisor Dr. Aaron Doyle<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThroughout my now five years under his supervision, Dr. Doyle has been inspirational and supportive and his teaching, guidance and encouragement have been instrumental to my research projects. Having the opportunity to be supervised by Dr. Doyle and to learn from, and work closely with, top-calibre professors in, not only the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, but across other disciplines (Law and Legal Studies, Psychology, Sprott School of Business) made Carleton the natural choice for my graduate studies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brown has also received scholarships from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), OGS and internal grants from Carleton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
