Annabel Sibalis, Psychological Science PhD student is selected as a recipient of the 2018 Canada Graduate Scholarships to Honour Nelson Mandela. She was one of 9 doctoral students to be awarded for having a highly ranked research proposal in five areas championed by Mandela: national unity, democracy, freedom of human rights, leadership, and children’s participation in society.


Tamara Meixner, Psychology PhD student, 2017 CIHR Doctoral Award recipient:

“Being awarded a Michael Smith Foreign Study Supplement will allow me to spend summer 2018 at Yale University conducting research alongside Dr. Nancy Suchman and her team. In the United States, Dr. Suchman is a leader in the development and evaluation of attachment-based parenting interventions for mothers with substance use and psychiatric disorders.

“This opportunity to expand and strengthen my clinical research abilities will both facilitate the completion of my ongoing doctoral work here at Ryerson and shape my future thinking and contributions to the field.

“I am grateful for this exciting training endeavour and hope that it will be one of many research partnerships between Ryerson and Yale.​”
