Here is my beautiful daughter – helping me pack for our fieldwork adventure.  This fall was monumental.  With a lot of childcare support from my mom and wonderful neighbour Olga I defended my thesis proposal on October 30th.  My dear supervisor Ruth Hayhoe was very diligent in editing my ethics forms and (in what can only be described as a miracle) it only took 3 weeks to receive approval from the University of Toronto.  This evening we leave for Dubai, UAE to research the student experience at British branch-campuses.  Childen’s Ministry Coordinator – FINAL – March 3 2015
