Sophie exemplifies the highest standards of pedagogical excellence through her intentional, research-driven, and deeply student-centered approach to teaching. Her strengths as a teacher have been evident from the very start of her graduate career.  

Mia's mentorship has facilitated connection across the cohorts in our department, which can sometimes be hard to forge as a first-year. She helps connect each individual to advanced student mentors for coursework, but also for support. By leading the supervision of advanced student/first-year student partnerships, Mia has been able to create relationships that are beneficial for our clinical training, and for our social connection. This makes the department more collaborative, and it increases my own sense of support.

Michael practices in life what he preaches intellectually. There is deep symbiosis between his community engagements and his scholarly pursuits: his dissertation proposes an ecocritical paradigm of sustainable death care as part of a larger practice of sustainable agriculture in modern and contemporary French cultural productions. Michael is unique in that he practices living scholarship that is both epistemological and ethical, critical and creative.
