Johnny El-Alam, a PhD candidate in Cultural Mediations (Visual Culture) at Carleton, has been awarded the first Henry Mandelbaum Graduate Fellowship from The Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations (OCUFA).
The fellowship, created in honour of retired OCUFA Executive Director Henry Mandelbaum, provides support to a student who has demonstrated academic excellence, shows exceptional academic promise, and has provided significant community service in his/her university career.
As part of his fellowship, El-Alam will make a presentation on his research to the OCUFA Board of Directors at their June meeting. He is studying a group of transnational Canadian artists from the Lebanese War generation who are using art and critical theory to represent the war traumas of their childhood.
More information about the Fellowship is available at: ocufa.on.ca/ocufa-awards/.
The Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations is the voice of 17,000 university faculty and academic librarians across Ontario.
The Institute for Comparative Studies in Literature, Art and Culture at Carleton houses the Cultural Mediations PhD program.
