NRE Student Contributions

NRE Student Contributions
The New Rural Economy project (nre.
concordia.ca) directed by Dr. Bill
Reimer (Sociology and Anthropology)
has provided the opportunity for 58
Concordia students to participate
directly in ongoing social science
research. As part of this national team
of researchers and research assistants,
NRE students have participated and
presented at 11 national conferences
and workshops, participated in
fieldwork, data collection and analysis in 24 rural Canadian communities, authored or
co-authored 41 published papers or reports, and been team members on exchanges
to Japan and Australia. NRE ‘alumni’ are now dispersed widely - working for NGO’s in
Sierra Leone, for NATO in Sarajevo, doing research and teaching at US and Canadian
universities, working as Senior Analysts for Health Canada, Statistics Canada, and
Heritage Canada and completing MA’s and PhD’s at institutions across the country.
Concordia/NRE Alumni:
As a whole 120 BA, MA, PhD
and Postdoctoral students from
14 Canadian universities have
had roles as research assistants
conducting household surveys,
interviews and focus groups,
doing data analysis and modeling
exploring rural Canadian themes
such as health care, services,
capacity, environmental values,
resource dependency, cohesion,
religion, gender, governance,
internet use, communication tools,
and regional disparity. Over 250
NRE publications were authored or
co-authored by students within our
network.
