The Office of Research Services facilitated the awarding of over half a
million research dollars to STU faculty this year: $398,547 from external granting
agencies and $116,377 from St. Thomas for a total of $514,924.
The Office of Research Services completed a new 6-year Strategic Research Plan to guide
STU research from 2014-2019. The plan reflects the input from researchers across the STU
community.
STU Research continues to grow in new and exciting ways: particularly in the areas of
health policy and the digital humanities.
This year marked the first annual DOCTalks Film Festival and Symposium. The ORS was a
partner and a facilitator for this event.
Tony Tremblay, Canada Research Chair in New Brunswick Studies launched the NB
Literary Timeline this year in a digital, open-source format. The timeline traces major
literary events and people across the province geographically.
STU and UNB co-hosted a conference of the Canadian Association of University Research
Administratos East (CAURA East) and the Canadian Association of Research
Ethics Boards Atlantic (CAREB Atlantic).

PhD (Academic and Research) Barry Craig,
Research Awards: Special Merit Award
Over the past year, Dr. Cecilia Francis, of the Department of Romance Languages, has co-edited a scholarly book, Trajectoires et dérives de la littérature-monde. Poétiques de la relation et du divers dans les espaces francophones and authored four peer-reviewed publications. She is co-author of the SSHRC Insight Grant “Vocabularies of Identity: The Evolution of Collective Identity in Acadian and Loyalist Texts Published in New Brunswick Newspapers from 1880 to 1938.” These projects represent a significant contribution to the reshaping of research in French and Francophone literary scholarship relating to globalization. Her work has been internationally recognized for helping to create new critical frameworks for understanding the relationship between language and nation. She has written a book on the aesthetics of autobiographical prose which was nominated for the Prix Gabrielle-Roy. She is also the recipient of grants from the Agence universitaire de la Francophonie, the Bureau du Québec dans les Provinces Atlantiques and the Arts Council of New Brunswick.
Cecilia Francis, PhD
In February 2014, the Office of the Vice-President (Academic & Research) announced a revised special merit award policy. There are now three special merit awards: The John McKendy Memorial Teaching Award, the University Scholarship Award, and the University Service Award. These awards have been established for the purpose of recognizing, on a year-by-year basis, particular faculty members who have demonstrated excellence in their professional activities, providing recognition and remuneration ($1,500) for individuals who make outstanding contributions in the course of their work for the University. The University Scholarship Award focuses on scholarly work, including research, publications, and work of creative or cultural significance. The special merit awards are presented at spring convocation.
The McCain Course Release award is administered through the Office of the Assistant Vice-President (Research), who makes a recommendation to the Office of the Vice-President (Academic & Research). The McCain Award
gives release from one full course, equivalent to six credit hours (or two awards of three credit hours each) in support of faculty research. This award was announced in 1997, when the McCain family made a generous donation to St. Thomas University for this purpose. The award provides support for bringing book-length publications that are well underway to completion.

Mikhail Molchanov, PhD
Julia Torrie, PhD
Eurasian Regionalisms and Russian Foreign Policy
Dr. Mikhail Molchanov of the Political Science department is finishing his
book entitled Eurasian Regionalisms and Russian Foreign Policy. His book
will be a contribution to the literature on new regionalism that will be, as he
puts it, “squaring foreign policy studies with an examination of the
international political economy of regionalism in Eurasia.” He expects that it
will contribute to an academic understanding of new regionalism ‘both
theoretically and empirically’. His book is intended for an academic audience
of international political economists, university lecturers and senior
students.
Living Like God in France: The German Forces of Occupation, 1940-44
Dr. Julia Torrie of the history department, was awarded a McCain course
release to complete her book Living Like God in France: The German Forces
of Occupation, 1940-44. She examines the experiences of occupying soldiers
through the lens of the German occupation of France during the Second
World War. She is exploring the idea of managing occupying forces. This is
the first book of its kind, carving out a section of the literature between
Germany’s role in France and about French life during the war. The book is
intended for an international audience across a broad spectrum of academic
fields.

Message from: The Assistant Vice-President (Research)
This has been a banner year for the Office of Research Services, for many
reasons. We have been successful with a number of new initiatives this past
year:
1) We hosted our first ever “Digital Humanities/Knowledge Mobilization
Workshop” with participation from faculty at St. Thomas, for the Digital
Humanities portion, and faculty from UNB, staff from DOCtalks, Inc. and the
New Brunswick Social Policy Research Network in October 2013 for the
Knowledge Mobilization portion. Faculty attended from St. Thomas, UNB and
Universite de Moncton. Interest and discussion was animated and lively, we
hope to do another event on this basis in this upcoming year.
2) Our office co-hosted with UNBF, the CAURA East/CAREB Atlantic meetings in November. The
Canadian Association of University Research Administrators and the Canadian Association of
Research Ethics Boards focuses on University research office administrative staff, as well as
members of Research Ethics Boards from across the Atlantic Provinces. We had three “streams”
of presentations; on research administration, research ethics, and financial reporting. In total,
85 people from Universities, hospital REBs, and community colleges from across the Atlantic
(and from as far away as Grenfell College, NL) to this annual conference. One of our guest
speakers was Jocelyn Downie, PhD, Canada Research Chair in Health Law and Policy from
Dalhousie who spoke on the ever-evolving field of ethics in research. The conference was
considered a great success, and, according to Dale Keefe, VPR at Cape Breton University, his
staff reported it was “one of the best yet”. Kudos also came to us from Tim Kenyon, PhD,
(Waterloo, Associate Dean of Research) who was asked to do a report on research “metrics”
mirroring his talk for SSHRC in June 2012. Dr. Kenyon said later “Please accept my belated
thanks and congratulations for the CAURA East/CAREB meetings that STU/UNB hosted last
week. Not only were the talks of very high quality, but the atmosphere encouraged a great deal
of knowledge exchange and networking…this was a real contribution to research organization in
Atlantic Canada and beyond.”
3) A partnership was formed with DOC Talks Inc. which led to the creation of a symposium for
research-based documentary films, held on campus in early February. The ORS successfully
received funding in the form of a SSHRC Connections Grant and a Springboard Innovation
Mobilization Grant. By all accounts, aside from the weather (which affected turnout) the
weekend symposium was a lauded event, including NGOs, University researchers and film
makers/producers from around the Atlantic.

4) On behalf of St. Thomas University and the SSHRC Leaders group, I presented the Atlantic
Regional Panel http://atlanticregionalpanel.wordpress.com/final-report/ on which I was the
lead for the SSHRC Imagining Canada project, http://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/society-societe/
community-communite/Imagining_Canadas_Future-Imaginer_l_avenir_du_Canada-eng.aspx at
the World Social Science Forum in Montreal on Thanksgiving weekend, October 2013, along
with 5 colleagues from other parts of Canada. There was a great deal of interest in this national
research forecasting exercise from all international colleagues
who attended the SSRHC Imagining Canada sessions.
I was elected to the Federation of the Humanities and Social Sciences Board of Directors
www.ideas-idees.ca as Director, Institutions in March 2013, and attend their meetings
representing not only St. Thomas, but also small institutions across the country. Working with
the Federation, given the range of policy/advocacy work
beyond Congress organization, continues to be both a
challenge and a privilege.
The ORS has been granted a PETL (Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour) grant, as
have the other 3 universities in New Brunswick. We are grateful to PETL for this opportunity to
expand our work in social innovation.
The work of the ORS continues to expand, despite our small size. There have been significant
increases in both our internal and external grants award systems. Success generates more work
all around, but then again, that’s a nice problem to have!
We're very proud of the scholarship, research grants and awards garnered by our faculty, both
in this region and beyond. Working for St. Thomas faculty research interests is and remains a
distinct pleasure for all of us here in the ORS.
Finally, a big thank you to the ORS staff for the past year;
Josephine Adda for her fine Proposal Support work,
Danielle Connell and Shannon Briand for their
excellent Office Co-ordinator work and Shannon
Carmont, our summer Communications Officer/
Social Innovation Intern student.
We’re very proud of the
scholarship, research grants
and awards garnered by our
faculty.

Indirect Costs Program
The Indirect Costs Program (ICP) helps Canadian postsecondary institutions to fund the hidden
costs of research. Funds allotted under the program are used to alleviate the financial burden
of basic and yet relevant expenses such as lighting and heating which indirectly accrue to
institutions as a result of research. By supporting research ‘indirectly’ the program ultimately
helps researchers and universities to concentrate on cutting-edge discoveries and scholarship
excellence in Canadian Universities without bearing 100% the indirect costs associated with
such work.
St. Thomas University allocates its ICP grant through a consultative process involving the
Assistant Vice-President (Research), the Vice-President (Finance), the Vice-President (Academic
& Research), and the Comptroller. Together with the President’s Advisory Committee on the
Budget, an annual plan is developed according to the overall university budget and also takes
into consideration specific needs that arise from year to year.

Research Ethics Board
Membership:
The Research Ethics Board reviews research
ethics applications submitted by STU researchers (faculty and students) and those outside the
University wishing to conduct research within the STU community. All such research involving
human participants must be in compliance with the Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical
Conduct for Research Involving Humans (the TCPS 2) and this is what guides the REB when
reviewing ethics applications. In order to release research funds, and before research involving
human participants can commence, REB approval must be obtained.
During the last year, the REB met 7 times, reviewed 27 new submissions, and managed 75 open
files. This was a year of growth and transition for the REB. The board was without a Chair from
July 2013 onwards, and several members were able to obtain valuable REB administration
experience by taking on the role of Acting Chair. Happily, in February it was announced that Dr.
Karla O’Regan would be the new Chair starting July 1, 2014. Dr. O’Regan’s legal background and
research experience will no doubt be a strong foundation for her to build upon during her time
as REB Chair.
Danielle Connell, Dr. Dave Korotkov, Dr. Karla O’Regan and Dr. Ray Williams attended CAREB
National in Montreal in April 2014. The Canadian Association of Research Ethics Boards is a
grassroots national membership organization intended to represent the interests of all
Canadian Research Ethics Boards and to reflect REB perspectives and concerns. This was a
valuable learning experience for the new members and a helpful refresher for the rest.
Attendees came away with new information about standard operating procedures, conflicts of
interest, REB structure, Aboriginal health research, and proposed changes to the TCPS2 and
other Panel on Research Ethics initiatives.
Looking forward to 2014-15, the REB section of the STU Research website will be refreshed;
featuring new links to pertinent ethics news, websites, resources, features, and many other
useful ethics-related online documents.

Banting Post-Doctoral Fellowship Lynne Gouliquer, PhD
Resilience in Aging
Dr. Gouliquer is a SSHRC Banting Post-Doctoral Fellow at St. Thomas
University, conducting research on resilience and aging. She is working at
the Atlantic Centre for Qualitative Research and Analysis under the
supervision of Dr. Deborah van den Hoonaard (Canada Research Chair in
Qualitative Analysis).
The aging population is typically cast as a frail and
vulnerable group and an impending colossal economic drain for society. What is less discussed
is that an increasing number of individuals who reach an exceptional old age often live happily,
autonomously, and in relatively good health. These individuals seem disposed to either
escape disease, or survive with tenacity in spite of illness for a long time. Dr. Gouliquer is
studying how this increasing number of people living to an exceptional old age points to a
particular form of resilience. While models of resilience for children and adolescents are
plentiful, less is known about adult resilience, especially amongst the very old. Thus,
Gouliquer’s research aims to reveal the forms and nature of resilience displayed by 90+
individuals.
Gouliquer’s research will extend our understanding of resilience in the context of increasing
marginalisation by examining life history narratives of the very old. Specifically, her research
will address questions such as: What social institutional practices, policies, and ideologies
hinder/facilitate elders' resiliency? Is longevity intertwined with specific meaning
making of life experiences? What resilience strategies have the exceptionally old used to
succeed? What is the role of gender in the "storying" of life and resilience among the 90+ year
olds? What are the socio-cultural determinants of living through the latter years with
resilience?
Preliminary results indicate that our current prevailing neoliberal socio-political economic
system and its ideology of individualism serve to deeply isolate the very old despite the
presence of extensive and reliable familial social care networks.

Deborah van den Hoonaard, PhD Canada Research Chair in Qualitative Analysis
Dr. Deborah van den Hoonaard, professor in the Gerontology Department and
Canada Research Chair in Qualitative Research and Analysis completed the second
edition of her textbook, Qualitative Research in Action: A Canadian Primer for
Oxford University Press. It will be out in fall, 2014.
She has completed the interviews for her study, Widowhood in the 21st Century,
which updates and compares her original study that was the basis for The
Widowed Self: The Older Woman’s Journey Through Widowhood (2001, Wilfrid
Laurier University Press) and is in the process of developing a book proposal for
University of Toronto Press. Dr. van den Hoonaard has continued her work on an
interdisciplinary team comprised of researchers from STU (Linda Caissie), UNB, and community
researcher (Marilyn Noble) on baby-boomer women’s experiences of retirement. The pilot
study is complete, and the team has presented academic papers at the Canadian Association
of Gerontology and The Qualitatives. Dr. van den Hoonaard will take the lead in preparing a
SSHRC Insight Grant application to expand the study.
This year, Dr. van den Hoonaard has presented her research in the wider community, at
international conferences (British Society of Gerontology (Oxford), Aging and Society (Chicago),
and Gerontology Society of America (New Orleans), has been a co-investigator on grants
applications both to SSHRC and CIHR, has sat on an adjudication committee for CIHR, and has
been an invited speaker for her research at UNBSJ and Université de Laval.
Tony Tremblay, PhD
Canada Research Chairs
Dr. Tremblay had another full and enriching year as CRC in New Brunswick Studies. He
continued to work closely with UNB’s graduate program, supervising and mentoring
graduate students in Canadian and Modernist Studies.
In Fall 2013, he launched a major addition to the New Brunswick Literary Encyclopedia:
the 171-page New Brunswick Literary Timeline, which provides a complete timeline of
New Brunswick literature in English. Part of the new resource is a Literary Map of New
Brunswick, which is a geographic locator of the province’s literary sites and subjects. All
features of the timeline are digital and open access, thus easily accessible to students,
scholars, and citizens.
Canada Research Chair in New Brunswick Studies
15 Canada Research Chairs
Under Dr. Tremblay’s editorial leadership, another issue of the Journal of New Brunswick
Studies was also published, the issue marking the journal’s fifth year.
Another of Dr. Tremblay’s involvements was co-organizing the Thomas Raddall Symposium at
Acadia University, the country’s largest conference on Atlantic Canadian literature. Close to 100
scholars from Canada and abroad attended the conference in Wolfville.
As well as a full slate of lectures, conferences, and service on the national SSHRC Vanier
Committee, he also advanced the work of his major SSHRC project, editing the chapters that will
become the book Literary Ferment in New Brunswick.
Finally, he began work on collaborative projects at the Université de Moncton, the University of
Maine, and the University of West Scotland, each project examining cultural work in non-urban
locales. He continues to apply for partnership grants and other sustainable funding for his
ongoing work, and continues to employ numerous graduate students (many from STU) on his
various projects.
Susan Machum, PhD Canada Research Chair in Rural Social Justice
Dr. Susan Machum’s work on family farming, local food systems, food security and
the rural-urban interface is well situated to take advantage of the United Nations,
International Year of Family Farming (IYFF-2014). In 2011 the UN General Assembly
unanimously agreed that it was vital for civil society to better understand the role
small-scale agriculture plays in reducing hunger and poverty, providing food security
and nutrition, protecting natural resources and the environment, and supporting
rural livelihoods. These have long been overarching themes of Dr. Machum’s
research program. Recognizing her contribution to this field she was invited to
participate in the International Encounters Family Farming and Research Conference
and the Foresight Exchange workshop held in Montpellier France. The goal of these events
was to bring together farmers, farm organizations, researchers and governing bodies to
collectively strategize on best practices and to collaboratively build future research agendas.
Dr. Machum’s work in the coming year will continue to engage with many of the themes
identified as priority research areas.
In line with recommendations made at this international event, Dr. Machum’s participatory
action research project with the New Brunswick Food Security Action Network, United Way
Greater Moncton and Recolté Chez Nous continued throughout the year with ongoing data
collection, analysis and report writing. Two papers “Understanding Value-Chains: A case study
of food production and consumption patterns in Southeast New Brunswick” and “Visualizing
Food Value Chains from Farm to Plate” were presented from this research, one in Victoria, BC
and the other in Baltimore, Maryland. Related to this research agenda, Dr. Machum is
participating in Fredericton area efforts to build a municipal food policy agenda and program.
Her research on the plight of rural communities led to her being an invited panel member in
the “Rural Community and the Fringe Panel” at the Canadian Sociological Association
Meetings in Victoria BC. While her studies of women’s multifaceted work roles on family

This year I have focused on two main projects. The first explores the relationship between
narrative and resilience in which we have interviewed 45 older adults and analyzed the data
for indications of resilience and how these relate to narrative concepts. We have found that
narratives of older adults reveal or display forms of resilience that are not found via the
administration of standardized resilience scales. Those who appear poorly resilient on the
scale often tell stories of high resilience, embedding their individual stories in those of
family, community, church and the like. This has implications for how we assess resilience
and how we might find ways of promoting resilience amongst older adults. On the basis of
this research we have been awarded a grant to conduct a pilot study to test the
effectiveness of a narrative intervention in enhancing resilience. This work suggests possible
ways of working with older adults, for example, in long-term care facilities, to enhance their
well-being. We have presented the findings at two conferences this year.
The second is a qualitative study of transableism (the desire to become disabled) and identity,
funded by an SSHRC Insight Development Grant. Currently there are 18 participants, 14 of
whom have been interviewed twice. Initial analysis has been undertaken and early findings
indicate that participants’ experiences often do not align with medical or psychiatric discourse
of the phenomenon, indicating a lack of understanding amongst health professionals and
highlighting the secrecy which transabled individuals feel is necessary to protect themselves
from societal hostility. As we learn more about the phenomenon of transabelism we will,
hopefully, be in a better position to provide appropriate support and services for transabled
people.
This year I have also been actively involved in developing a number of research proposals. With
colleagues I submitted a proposal to CIHR on developing a dementia strategy for New Brunswick
– unsuccessfully and one to the PHSI programme of CIHR for developing a model of citizen
engagement in the health policy process on which we are awaiting a decision.
With colleagues at St. Thomas I have developed two research projects (with internal funding) on
narratives of violent extremism amongst Canadian Muslim Youth, one project on testing
narrative intervention to enhance resilience amongst older adults and, with a STU colleague and
others from Ontario, a proposal for a project on story-listening and spiritual care at the end of
life (awaiting the decision). Further, I have developed a research project on understanding the
narrative dynamics between medically uncertain and ambiguous diagnoses and the discourse of
child protection.
farms resulted in her being the Lunch & Learn guest speaker at the Fredericton, Canadian
Federation of University Women’s February meeting. Additionally, as PI of a SSHRC Connection
grant, Dr. Machum played a role in helping secure funding for Fredericton’s second annual,
DocTalks festival held at STU and UNB in February

The Global and International Studies Initiative is a cross disciplinary effort designed
to increase cooperation between academics working with global and international
issues. It is becoming increasingly obvious that the traditional boundaries in
academia miss the nuance of this subject matter. GISI instead works towards
bringing together and organizing academics by subject matter and research goals.
To accomplish these goals, during the 2012-2013 period, GISI has directly funded
four ongoing research projects. In September 2013, a $3,000 GISI Visiting Scholar
Grant supported the visit of Nicholas Williams, a joint Doctoral candidate at the
University of Saarland (Germany) and the University of Paris-Sorbonne. Mr.
Williams spoke on the evacuation of German Saarland and French Lorraine at the beginning of
WWII. Mr. Williams’ visit was sponsored by the History Department.
The Sociology Department was awarded a $3,000 GISI Visiting Scholar Grant for 2014-2015. Dr.
Besim Can Zirh will visit St. Thomas in January-February 2015 to speak about Turkey’s Alevi
minority.
Three conference travel grants remain to be disbursed. The competition for these grants will
take place in July, 2014 and will cover the period from August 2014—March 2015.
The SSHRC Aid to Small Universities Grant which established GISI is at its end. The GISI will wrap
up once events are concluded in early 2015. The GISI will organize a conference, near the end of
the academic year, which will involve all the recipients of GISI research and travel grant support.
The conference will review what GISI has accomplished and lay the groundwork for further
university-wide international and global studies initiatives.
The GISI was established by Dr. Gayle MacDonald, Assistant Vice-President (Research), Dr. Dev
Gupta (Economics), Dr. Mikhail Molchanov (Political Science), Dr. Shaun Narine (Political
Science), and Dr. Robin Vose (History). More than 30 faculty members are involved in the
initiative and the Executive Committee of GISI is Drs. Gupta, Molchanov, Narine and Vose, with
Dr. Narine as the Acting Director. This is the final year of GISI under the Aid to Small Universities
Grant.

The Senate Research Committee met twelve times this year and awarded $116,377 worth of
internal grants (90 grants in total). This is an increase of more than $13,000 compared to last
year.
The overall mandate of the Senate Research Committee (SRC) is to make recommendations to
the Senate regarding the policies and regulations governing research. It allocates internal
research and travel funds for faculty after evaluating the merits of the research proposals
received. In addition, it adjudicates the Dr. Rosemary Clews Research Internship Award and
reviews requests for Research Grants in Lieu of Salary and makes recommendations to the
President (via the Office of Human Resources).

NBCC Research Methods:
The ORS has been reaching out to NBCC in an effort to expand possible research collaboration
between the two institutions. The AVP Research attended their Research Day in order to
present to instructors of vastly differing backgrounds (from Bachelors' degrees to an Industrial
Canada Research Chair) on the various research methods that can be used in their work.
September 4, 2013
New Faculty Orientation:
The AVPR gives an annual presentation to new faculty at the start of every academic year. This
is a great opportunity to discuss the role of the Office of Research Services, what the ORS has to
offer to new faculty, and to outline both internal and external funding opportunities.
October 16, 2013
Masters Funding & Graduate School Workshop for Students:
The AVPR gave two workshops for prospective graduate students from St. Thomas who were
applying to other universities. Changes in the Bombardier Masters scholarship this year
necessitated a great shift in perspective, as St. Thomas no longer receives an allocation of
Masters SSHRCS to award. It has been revealed over time, however, that students need a great
deal of information on the process of application to graduate schools.
October 26, 2013
Digital Humanities/Knowledge Mobilization Workshop:
This was an exciting first step for St. Thomas in celebrating our work in the humanities. Faculty
using technology/film/design in their research/teaching and those who are interested in future
knowledge mobilization work using digital means found this to be an interesting event.
