Jamil Muradov

PhD Candidate, Killam Scholar, Department of Medical Neuroscience, Faculty of Medicine, Dalhousie University

PhD Candidate, Killam Scholar, Department of Medical Neuroscience, Faculty of Medicine, Dalhousie University Jamil Muradov is a PhD candidate in Dr. Alon Friedman's lab. Jamil's research focuses on understanding early neurovascular events that occur following traumatic brain injury that can help predict the outcomes of the head impact and develop novel treatments. In his research, he uses a multimodal approach to study the electrophysiology, cerebrovascular dynamics, molecular biology and behavioral outcomes of brain injury, bridging the gap between fundamental neurophysiology and innovation that can help diverse patients in Canadian communities and worldwide.

Judith Ellen Brunton

Postdoctoral Fellow in the Canada Program, Harvard University

Postdoctoral Fellow in the Canada Program, Harvard University I am an anthropologist of religion in North America. So, I am interested in religion, spirituality, and meaning making in people’s everyday lives. In my dissertation project, I used ethnographic and archival methods to explore how oil culture in Alberta shapes how people imagine what a good life is and how to live it. This current project focuses on the power of place, and how land plays a part in people’s lifeworlds, so I also work within the environmental humanities.
