Laura Flight - recipient of the Graduate Women and Gender Studies entrance awardLaura Flight (she/her) grew up in Newfoundland and Labrador, which is the land in traditional Mi’kmaw territory and includes the diverse and rich histories and cultures of the Beothuk, Mi’kmaq, Innu and Inuit. As a queer, cisgender, white woman, Laura majored in English Language and Literature in her Undergraduate studies at Memorial University of Newfoundland, Grenfell Campus. In particular, she focused on early feminism and civil rights, intersectionality, and critical theory. For her Master’s of Women and Gender Studies, Laura’s current research focuses on the unique and gendered crafting traditions in Newfoundland and Labrador and how the lived experiences of women and AFAB folks on the island manifest into textile and crafted creations.

A recent graduate of Mount Allison University, she completed her Honours degree with a major in Sociology and a minor in Political Science. She received the university’s A. Jane Avard Eaton Student Leadership Award and the Outstanding Graduating Student Award from the Canadian Sociological Association. During her years at Mount Allison, Helen was active in the university community and highly involved in climate justice organizing. Her undergraduate thesis combined her passion towards prison abolition and her experiences as a student organizer.

She hopes to continue her research on abolition under the supervision of Dr. El Jones at Mount Saint Vincent University.

Nouf Saleh in the 2023/24 recipient of Willam and Ramona Lumpkin Part-Time Student Scholarship.

Nouf SalehMy name is Nouf Saleh. I was born in Kuwait and resided in Ottawa until I moved to Nova Scotia in 2001. I completed an undergraduate degree in Sociology with a minor in religion, women and gender studies. In 2008, I volunteered as a translator for a UN team that visited Kuwait to conduct research and interviews with people who have stateless status. From that experience, it motivated me to join this program and focus my thesis on stateless citizens in Kuwait especially women as the struggles they face when they are married to a man with stateless status is distressing. The opportunity to listen to their experiences as well as having my own experience living as a stateless citizen in Kuwait has inspired me to shed light on this silent issue that occurs all around the world. I am hopeful that completing this thesis will be the first step in accomplishing the goal of making a difference with the immigration process in Canada.
