How has your 杏吧原创 English degree informed your professional and\/or creative path?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studying English at 杏吧原创 trained me to approach texts critically, and to see the whole world as texts. Whether I\u2019m writing about data privacy and academic integrity issues or problem-solving a technical issue, I\u2019m thinking as an English scholar first. The unpretentious approach to English Literature at 杏吧原创 made me open to the range of possibilities that come with an English degree, and I\u2019m grateful for the breadth of scope the program offered me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why 杏吧原创? What specific experiences or opportunities did you benefit from while studying English at 杏吧原创?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While studying English at 杏吧原创, I worked for the Centre for Initiatives in Education where I learned teaching practices and a pedagogical approach that still inform my work to this day. Having real-world classroom experience from an early point in my academic career has set me apart in my professional journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10571,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"cu_people_first_name":"Brenna","cu_people_last_name":"Clarke Gray","cu_people_initials":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_people_type":[26],"cu_people_expertise":[],"class_list":["post-10404","cu_people","type-cu_people","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cu_people_type-alumni"],"acf":{"cu_people_job_title":"Coordinator, Educational Technologies (Thompson Rivers University)","cu_people_degree":"BA Honours English (杏吧原创, 2005); MA English (杏吧原创, 2006); PhD (New Brunswick, 2010)","cu_building":false,"cu_people_office_num":"","cu_people_pronoun":"none","cu_people_designation":"","cu_people_email":"","cu_people_phone":"","cu_people_phone_ext":"","cu_people_linkedin":"","cu_people_bluesky":"","cu_people_twitter":"","cu_people_instagram":"","cu_people_facebook":"","cu_people_website":"","cu_people_orcid":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/10404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_people"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/10404\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26700,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/10404\/revisions\/26700"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10571"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_people_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_type?post=10404"},{"taxonomy":"cu_people_expertise","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_expertise?post=10404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
