Stephen Kiraly
I am finally finished my master's degree at the Memorial University of Newfoundland. I am studying the ways that people interact with their books as physical objects. Through my examination of marginalia in the Dr. Herbert Halpert Folklore Collection at Memorial, I have developed an immersive 360-degree situational awareness of how Halperts' research interests changed over time and geographical location. Prior to this, I completed my undergraduate degree (in history and archaeology) at Memorial, in 2014. In my other life, prior to going to university, I was an electrician, a truck driver, a factory worker, a firefighter, and a labourer on construction sites. I plan on pursuing both a Ph.D. and a Master's of Library and Information Science degree, mainly so I can continue to be the world's biggest book nerd.
Update: September 2020. I have started another Master's degree, this time in Adult Post-Secondary Education, here at the Memorial University of Newfoundland. My thesis is about Ancestral Trauma and how it affects adult learners from a refugee/economic migrant background. Using Evocative Autoethnography as a methodological framework, I plan on foregrounding my own family history of trauma to examine how people's personal potential for learning is limited by the trauma that they experience, and also their own ancestral trauma.
Supervisors: Dr. Jennifer Connor Faculty of Medicine/Department of History, Memorial University of Newfoundland(MPhil) and Dr. John Hoben, Faculty of Education, Memorial University of Newfoundland
