Funding and Support

As part of her PhD in Interdisciplinary Studies at Memorial University of Newfoundland, this Chapter of the Encyclopedia is Pam Hall’s central creative research project. It was supported by Memorial University, the Community-University Research for Recovery Alliance (CURRA) and The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).

 

The artist acknowledges the incredible generosity of the contributors and supporters who shared not just their knowledge, but their time.

It was a gift for which I am deeply grateful.

It is in the sharing of knowledge that it comes alive, gains meaning and invites understanding.
