Michael Chartier is the recipient of this year’s University of Saskatchewan Thesis Award in the category of the Professional and Applied Social Sciences which recognizes excellence and original quality in graduate student research, for his thesis “Adult Education and the Social Economy: Rethinking the Communitarian Pedagogy of Watson Thomson”. Michael undertook the research to support his thesis with the support of a Linking, Learning, Leveraging scholarship. See more details about his research here.
Michael’s work, which covers the work of radical educator Watson Thomson and the Saskatchewan Adult Education Division, sheds new light on this little known period in Saskatchewan’s political, educational, and economic history which saw the development of over 100 cooperative enterprises and 500 adult study groups throughout the mid-1940s.
Michael was also the winner of the 2008 F.J.H. Fredeen Memorial Scholarship.
Congratulations, Michael! Well done!
