I spent a lot of time with them, and I felt I had to get their story right,” she says. “I spent 20 years in school trying to understand how social movements work, but they just intuitively get it.

Moss Scholarship winner</a>, Sprenger is one of 74 scholars from 30 countries to receive the prestigious scholarship this year.</p> <p>“At Cambridge, I'll be pursuing a master of philosophy&nbsp;in environmental policy, with a focus on environmental law,” Sprenger says. “I&nbsp;plan to study how the law at both national and international levels may be used effectively to address the climate crisis.</p> <p>“We need new and creative ways of addressing this defining challenge of our time, and I think the law will be a powerful tool in this regard. Whether through the pursuit of litigation to hold governments and organizations accountable for their environmental records, or through the creation of legal mandates to enable transition to a net-zero economy, the law may play a vital role&nbsp;in precipitating the wide-reaching societal change we need to protect our planet.”</p> <p>As an undergraduate at U of T majoring in global health, <a href="http://reachalliance.org/">Sprenger was part of the Reach Alliance</a> at the Munk School of Global Affairs &amp; Public Policy. She studied such issues as food insecurity, forced migration, and antimicrobial resistance – conducting research that took her to Myanmar, Taiwan, Ecuador, Ethiopia&nbsp;and Sri Lanka.&nbsp;She will graduate&nbsp;this year&nbsp;with a master of science in biophysics.</p> <h3><a href="https://munkschool.utoronto.ca/news/making-most-one-students-journey-through-munk-school">Read more about Sprenger</a></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">UTC</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Mon, 19 Apr 2021 15:18:41 +0000 lanthierj 169133 at Paola Salardi receives Ƶ Teaching Fellowship /celebrates/paola-salardi-receives-university-toronto-teaching-fellowship <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Paola Salardi receives Ƶ Teaching Fellowship</span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-type/teaching" hreflang="en">Teaching</a></div> </div> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span>lanthierj</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden"><time datetime="2021-04-16T16:16:46-04:00" title="Friday, April 16, 2021 - 16:16" class="datetime">Fri, 04/16/2021 - 16:16</time> </span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-people field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-people/faculty" hreflang="en">Faculty</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-campus field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-campus/st-george" hreflang="en">St. George</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/faculty-arts-science" hreflang="en">Faculty of Arts &amp; Science</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/munk-school-global-affairs-public-policy" hreflang="en">Munk School of Global Affairs &amp; Public Policy</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/university-toronto-teaching-fellowship" hreflang="en">Ƶ Teaching Fellowship</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-image-orientation field--type-list-string field--label-hidden field__item">landscape</div> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/media/Paola-Salardi-scaled-1024x683.jpg" width="750" height="500" alt="Paola Salardi"> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p><strong>Paola Salardi</strong>, an assistant professor, teaching stream, in the Faculty of Arts &amp; Science, has been awarded a 2021-22 <a href="https://www.provost.utoronto.ca/awards-funding/university-of-toronto-teaching-fellowships/">Ƶ Teaching Fellowship</a>.</p> <p>The director of the <a href="https://munkschool.utoronto.ca/trudeaucentre/">Trudeau Centre for Peace, Conflict and Justice</a> at the Munk School of Global Affairs &amp; Public Policy, Salardi is an applied economist with a focus on economics of conflict, economic development, inequality and political economy.</p> <p>Salardi’s fellowship project will focus on designing an introductory course to data analysis for students in the peace, conflict and justice program – with the goal of introducing quantitative methods and research to non-specialists in a way that’s engaging and accessible.</p> <p>“Done well, this new course can be transformative, opening new horizons and possibilities for our students,” says Salardi. “It would provide an offering that is truly unique relative to what is available elsewhere”.</p> <p>A faculty mentor for <a href="http://reachalliance.org/what-is-reach">the Reach Alliance</a>, Salardi’s research bridges the economics of conflict and the economics of inequality and discrimination. Her pedagogical focus is on developing innovative approaches to teaching economics and data analysis to non-economists.&nbsp;</p> <p>“We are thrilled that Professor Salardi’s educational leadership is being recognized by the University,” says <strong>Cheryl Misak</strong>, interim director of the Munk School. “The pedagogical research that she is embarking on, and the broader learning that will result from it, speaks directly to the Munk School’s aspirations in building new and innovative approaches to undergraduate teaching.”</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Munk School of Global Affairs &amp; Public Policy</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Fri, 16 Apr 2021 20:16:46 +0000 lanthierj 169079 at
