Congratulations to our MA student Shane Doddridge

Congratulations to our MA student Shane Doddridge (supervised by Dr. Brian Thom) who just won the 2021 Canadian Cartographic Association ‘best student presentation’ award for his paper ‘Navigating Theory in Toponomy: Approaching Indigenous Place Names in the Chilcotin Region of Canada'

Shane’s collaborative research for his MA with Tŝilhqot’in communities on Indigenous place names has been ethnographically exemplary, deeply interdisciplinary, and theoretically rich. We are very proud of him for having been awarded this distinction.
