Dr. Berger receives grant

Congratulations to Dr. Ellie Berger of the Sociology department, who has been named a co-investigator on Population Change and Lifecourse Strategic Knowledge Cluster (PCLC), which is funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).
Dr. Berger will be working with Principal Investigator, Dr. Roderic Beaujout of Western University on the SSHRC project to promote research that will lead academics and policymakers to a clearer understanding of the relationship between population structure and the lives of individuals. This research will form the basis for improved planning on the part of governments, public institutions and agencies, and business. Students and faculty members interested in the topic of aging and paid work are encouraged to contact Dr. Berger for information about committee membership as well as potential funding opportunities.    

Prior to receiving this grant, Berger wrote a Policy Brief on Age Discrimination and Paid Work for PCLC, with former Nipissing student, Doug Hodgins.
