We would like students to write and publish books. For phase 3 of this initiative, students will focus on human sciences topics.
To accomplish this, we expect the student(s) will:
- work with a team (pod) of students to help write two books, one book each week
- write 2200 to 4000 words each week and edit other team (pod) members work on collective document
- upload documents for publication as books onto research sites
- keep with schedule and work as book writing team
This project will be ongoing over 8 weeks, with different books being produced in each two-week segment. There will be 4 project postings on Riipen that students will apply for. Each phase will run for two weeks.
Book 1 will be submitted to "Milestone 1". Book 2 will be submitted to "Final Submission".
Zoom video every week and chair available on an ad hoc basis by phone and email.
About the company
The Antarctic Institute of Canada is a non-profit Canadian charity organization founded by former Antarctic researcher Austin Mardon in 1985. Its original aim was to lobby for the federal government of Canada to increase the extent of Canadian research in the Antarctic. However, AIC slowly diversified and initiated programs for students to publish Antarctic research in newspapers and academic journals. These days, the AIC supports academic writing, research, and multimedia in many fields, expanding far beyond the organization’s original focus on Antarctica.
