doctoral research opportunity in New Zealand

Dr. Katherine McCormick asked that you receive word of this fellowship opportunity. 
She is willing to assist with the service learning component.
 
By using Tulane's post-Katrina focus on community engagement as our inspiration, the
University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand has sought to implement
service-learning across the institution as our response to the devastating
earthquakes that rocked our city in 2010 and 2011.  As part of our efforts, we have
an amazing opportunity for a PhD student to conduct research on the connection of
higher education, service-learning, and natural disasters through a $60,000
scholarship that includes tuition and living expenses for 3 years.  Please consider
this quickly as we need to have expressions of interest by October 14.  Enrolment
start date can be flexible.



Please contact Dr Billy O'Steen at
