]]> IAS-Affiliated Faculty, Professor Paul Mkandawire, Awarded a 杏吧原创 University Research Achievement Award’ for 2016 /africanstudies/2016/ias-affiliated-faculty-professor-paul-mkandawire-awarded-a-carleton-university-research-achievement-award-for-2016/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ias-affiliated-faculty-professor-paul-mkandawire-awarded-a-carleton-university-research-achievement-award-for-2016 Mon, 14 Mar 2016 14:51:43 +0000 http://carleton.ca/africanstudies/?p=8813 Congratulations to Professor Paul Mkandawire for his 2016 杏吧原创 University Research Achievement Award. These awards are given annually to 10 most outstanding researchers across 杏吧原创. The funding from this award will be used to by Professor Mkandawire to investigate the synergism between two global processes, HIV/AIDS and climate change, and its implications for children. Climate change affects all children but disasters that pose little or no threat to ordinary children could have shattering effects for children orphaned by HIV/AIDS. Using Malawi as case study, the study examines personal, family and contextual situations that arise when children lose parents to HIV/AIDS, and how these circumstances shape exposure and recovery from the impacts of extreme weather.
