In this episode, we interview Dr. Cameron and Dr. Hiebert about their work on terrorism and genocide, respectively. You might think that because they grapple with the darkest forms of political behaviour in their academic work that they would be insensitive to the comparatively minor struggles of graduate student life, but you would be wrong! Tune in to hear about how life experiences can shape academic interests, alternative paths through grad school, and the value of a supportive supervisor...
