The Emerging Indigenous Scholars Circle at Royal Roads University is a first-of-its-kind program for those at the beginning of their academic careers.
The Circle currently hosts three emerging scholars: Tasha Brooks is a scholar and assistant professor in the School of Business; Erynne Gilpin is working with the School of Communication and Culture as a scholar and assistant professor; and Christine Webster is a scholar and assistant professor in the College of Interdisciplinary Studies.
Shauneen Pete is chair of the Circle and provides guidance and mentorship to all three scholars on a one-on-one and group basis, while also helping to expand a wider community of support for emerging Indigenous scholars across the country.
"There was an immediate feeling of Aha! this is what I was looking for,' from the very second of stepping into the room with the other scholars and Shauneen," says Tasha Brooks.
