We would like students to help us with creating content that is aligned with our vision, mission, and sector. We will ensure the student has a clear understanding of what these elements are for our organization.
During the spring and summer, the Antarctic Institute of Canada runs a program called Sharpen the Quill. The goal of the project is to develop student's writing and publication skills.
During March and April, students will be expected to write 4 articles for us. These can be blogs, newspaper, or peer-reviewed articles.
We have places to publish the articles for free on peer-reviewed publications.
Students will be expected to:
- Research topics
- Write articles for a specific journal
- Peer-review articles for other students
- Submit their articles for approval and revisions before publication
Students will attend weekly Zoom meetings and will have access on an ad hoc basis over email and phone.
About the company
The Antarctic Institute of Canada is a non-profit Canadian charity organization founded by former Antarctic researcher Austin Mardon in 1985. Its original aim was to lobby for the federal government of Canada to increase the extent of Canadian research in the Antarctic. However, AIC slowly diversified and initiated programs for students to publish Antarctic research in newspapers and academic journals. These days, the AIC supports academic writing, research, and multimedia in many fields, expanding far beyond the organization’s original focus on Antarctica.
