Barbara Roberts was the Alberta Representative on the CRIAW-ICREF Board from 1993 to 1998. In honour of her “commitment and contribution to Women’s Studies, her radical clarity and active work for, and celebration of justice, peace and community”, her colleagues at CRIAW-ICREF established a memorial fund.
This grant is for action-based research projects on peace issues, workplace / unions / radical social movements, social justice / human rights, and women’s studies education from a feminist perspective. This award consists of one grant of $2,000. The funds are meant to provide access to research funding for those who would normally have difficulty obtaining it.
