DARE Project: COVID-19 and Faculty/Staff Work Arrangements
Program(s) of Study: Law & Society and Human Resources Management
Project Supervisor: Kelly Pike
During the three years of my undergraduate studies, I hadn’t encountered an opportunity to use my research skills on a current topic in a hands-on way. DARE gave me a chance to employ my classroom skills and knowledge in a practical field.
Project Description:
In September 2020, a survey was sent out by YorkU to all faculty and staff regarding the impact of COVID-19 on their working arrangements. This data has since been analyzed and will be circulated to the York community late April. This project was run simultaneously at 7 other Canadian universities and approximately 7 Australia universities. Moving forward, the opportunities for collaborative research abound. The DARE student will have the opportunity to get involved with a follow-up qualitative component of the study, which will ultimately generate a variety of publications.The Dean’s Award for Research Excellence (DARE) - Undergraduate enables our students to meaningfully engage in research projects supervised by LA&PS faculty members.
