The Small Cities CURA and the Faculty of Arts are delighted to announce the launch of the re-designed CURA website, created by Emily Hope, an undergraduate research assistant and Visual Arts student at TRU.

In a recent review of CURA websites, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) praised Emily’s work as exemplary, and the Small Cities site was singled out as an outstanding example for other universities to follow.

Emily has presented her work at three academic conferences, and will help organize and present a workshop on community mapping at “Animation of Public Space Through the Arts,” an International Symposium being held at the University of Coimbra, Portugal, in September.
