GRÉEA Graduate Student scholarship competition (2022/23) | Deadline: September, 30
The Research Group in Environmental and Animal Ethics (GRÉEA) is pleased to announce its first 2022/23 graduate student scholarship competition.
One scholarship of $5,000 will be awarded for the academic year 2022/23 to a graduate student (Master’s or PhD level) who is supervised by a regular member of GRÉEA and whose work connects with one or more of the following topics:
- Fundamental normative issues in animal ethics and/or environmental ethics;
- Practical issues related to our relationship to non-human animals and nature;
- Scientific knowledge and epistemological approaches that can help to elucidate our relationship with non-human entities.
The recipient of the scholarship is expected to participate in GRÉEA’s activities and to help in the organization of student events. The student will have the opportunity to organize activities related to GRÉEA’s research axes with logistical and financial support from GRÉEA (subject to approval of GRÉEA’s executive committee) and to have a desk at the Centre de recherche en éthique (CRÉ) on the campus of Université de Montréal, subject to availability.
About GRÉEA
GRÉEA is an interuniversity and interdisciplinary research group in environmental and animal ethics associated with the CRÉ and based in Montreal/Tiohtiá:ke.
GRÉEA’s primary aim is to promote exchange and collaborative work between researchers (professors/teachers in university/CEGEP, post-doc students, etc.) and graduate students working in the fields of environmental ethics, animal ethics or at the crossroad of the two disciplines.
The GRÉEA also aims to make more visible and accessible — to academic as well as non- academic audiences — French and English language research in environmental and animal ethics. GRÉEA’s members are finally committed to ensuring that their research has a tangible impact on society and share the conviction that we must question anthropocentric approaches in order to better protect non-human animals and the environment.

GRÉEA acknowledges that its main activities are held on unceded First Nations’ territories in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal.
