I am focusing my research on how these three areas can be united to promote non-car mobility.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She is also interested in the role of community-led change and development. As a result of her research, she co-founded a cycling group on campus, C.U. Cycling.&nbsp; She was also interviewed last Wednesday by CBC Radio&#8217;s &#8220;All In A Day&#8221; about the <a href=\"http:\/\/carletoncycling.wordpress.com\/2013\/02\/11\/bronson-operational-and-safety-review-open-house-feb-27-at-630pm\/\">Bronson Operational and Safety Review Open House<\/a>, an event organized by C.U. Cycling and the City of Ottawa, which presented the City&#8217;s proposed changes to Bronson Avenue to make the thoroughfare safer for pedestrians and cyclists.&nbsp; Because of the heavy snowfall that day and disruptions to OC Transpo, she was unable to make it to the CBC studio.&nbsp; The interview was conducted over the phone as Tamara was stranded at the Hurdman bus station.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fourth year PAPM student Tamara Nahal has been awarded a Julius Lukasiewicz Award, worth $1,050, for her research on multi-modal transportation in Ottawa.&nbsp; The award goes to a student who has completed a 3000- or 4000-level course in Technology, Society and Environment Studies and is pursuing a research project germane to the relationship between technology, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1274,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":{"cu_post_thumbnail":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/akcollege\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1271","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/akcollege\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/akcollege\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/akcollege\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/akcollege\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1271"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/akcollege\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1271\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1273,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/akcollege\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1271\/revisions\/1273"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/akcollege\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1274"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/akcollege\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1271"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/akcollege\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1271"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/akcollege\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
