This project delves into the increasing reliance on contractual and fixed-term employment within international organizations, particularly UN entities. This trend reflects a significant transformation where global policymakers are increasingly hired on a contractual basis rather than as traditional employees.</p> Fri, 18 Oct 2024 14:51:26 +0000 Auriane Journet 4527 at /arts-internships /arts-internships/article/aria-internship-spotlight/aria-spotlight-olivier-joncas <p>This report outlines my ARIA research project, titled “The Use of Simulation to Improve Anti-Oppressive Practice in Social Work,” conducted under the supervision of Professor Sarah Tarshis MSW, Ph.D. This research investigates how simulation-based learning can enhance anti-oppressive practices (AOP) in social work, more specifically in addressing race and racism. Simulation refers to a real-life simulated encounter where a social work student or practitioner engages with a trained actor playing a pre-design case scenario portraying a realistic client (Kourgiantakis et al., 2021).</p> Fri, 18 Oct 2024 14:42:23 +0000 Olivier Joncas 4526 at /arts-internships /arts-internships/article/aria-internship-spotlight/aria-spotlight-laurence-jette <p>This summer, I had the great opportunity to receive an ARIA award, which gave me the chance to learn more about the research process in psychology. During my internship, I worked on a research project exploring Affective Social Competence (ASC) under the supervision of Dr. Melanie Dirks. This project explored how empathic accuracy—an individual’s ability to accurately infer others’ emotions—as well as expressive accuracy—an individual’s ability to accurately display emotions in accordance with their subjective feelings—contribute to competent communication of emotions between friends.</p> Fri, 18 Oct 2024 14:40:06 +0000 Laurence Jette 4525 at /arts-internships /arts-internships/article/arts-internship-spotlight/internship-spotlight-angela-zhai-festival-acces-asie <p>My name is Angela Zhai, and I am entering my second year at 91˿����Ƶ this fall.

My areas of interest include social work, developmental psychology, and cultural psychology. Every year, I set academic goals to make the best of my education and to explore any field that might interest me. This year, I had two main goals: gaining more research experience and being more involved in my community. I chose to pursue an internship with DESTA to achieve these goals.</p> Thu, 17 Oct 2024 17:31:57 +0000 Samantha Villedrouin 4501 at /arts-internships /arts-internships/article/arts-internship-spotlight/internship-spotlight-christopher-marton-us-consulate-general-montreal <p>This summer I was given the unique opportunity to delve into the world of diplomacy and foreign service.

My decision to choose this internship was driven by my interests and, on a more academic note, my field of study as a first-year student majoring in Political Science at 91˿����Ƶ. I have always been drawn to topics related to social issues such as social disparity and discrimination, upward mobility, and humanitarianism. I believe my interest in these subjects is closely linked to my personal experiences.</p> Thu, 17 Oct 2024 16:10:06 +0000 Ibtihal Beramdane 4497 at /arts-internships /arts-internships/article/arts-internship-spotlight/internship-spotlight-catalina-alfaro-ladino-muhc <p>My name is Catalina Alfaro Ladino and I am pursuing a degree in Anthropology and minoring in Social Studies of Medicine. My interest in anthropology and the human behaviour has always been there. It all started when my parents made me watch <i>Bone</i>s, a show about a forensic anthropologist who uncovered crimes. From that moment, the intelligence of the main character captivated me. Then, over time, my interest in health care grew. I became interested in how health care functioned- not the scientific aspect, but the humane and its advances.</p> Wed, 16 Oct 2024 17:16:55 +0000 Catalina Alfaro Ladino 4496 at /arts-internships /arts-internships/article/arts-internship-spotlight/internship-spotlight-sarah-ella-shijia-feng-equitas <p>In April, I completed my second year at 91˿����Ƶ, where I studied Honours International Development Studies with a minor in Philosophy. While my interests vary and shift often, I am curious about migration, the intersections of education and law, and human rights.</p> Wed, 16 Oct 2024 16:43:00 +0000 Sarah Ella Shijia Feng 4493 at /arts-internships /arts-internships/article/arts-internship-spotlight/internship-spotlight-thelma-caye-solidarite-colombie-quebec <p>My name is Thelma Caye, and I have a unique background that has shaped my interests and academic pursuits. Born in Colombia and adopted by a French couple, I lived in France my whole life. My fascination with political science began in high school during a geopolitics class, igniting a passion that has guided my educational journey.
