Rhetoric, Emotions, and Strategic Responses to COVID |
DescriptionHow did the public sector respond to and recover from the pandemic? We are seeking one or several talented doctoral fellows to study how the rhetoric of government messaging on COVID-19 was experienced and felt by public sector organizations across Canada - i.e., hospitals, public schools, and universities. Despite a common threat, each province portrayed the need to meet health and economic objectives in a different way. In response, public sector organizations responded in a variety of ways to provincial directives, and sometimes deviated from them. The doctoral fellows would examine these differences across provinces, between sectors, and over time. |
Research environment:This SSHRC-funded project is led by a group of scholars across the country with strengths in both qualitative and textual analysis. The PhD fellows would collaborate with this research team, as well as potentially other PhD fellows. These researchers are:
