Kat Rice, BA (’23), is featured in the Brock News as a recipient of the prestigious Horizon Graduate Scholarship. The award, valued at $5,000, supports research-based students from under-represented groups at Brock (BIPOC, 2SLGBTQ+, low-income or low socioeconomic status backgrounds, first generation graduate students, and people living with disabilities).

Kat’s research focuses on the representation of queer women in hockey in the Niagara region. “Through oral interviews, which involve collecting, interpreting and preserving memories of people in communities in their own voice, Rice is putting the spotlight on recreational players, coaches, organizers and officials. She is eager to examine how the experiences of queer women relate to their sense of belonging within their own team, their league and their country.” (The Brock News)

Congratulations, Kat!
