MACS Student Achievement: Justine McKay
Congratulations goes out to graduating MACS student Justine McKay who has been accepted to York University’s Sociology PhD program this Fall! Justine will be continuing her studies, using the sociological skills gained through the MACS program. Justine’s research areas of interest include ADHD/mental health, educational inequities, political economy, and understanding their relationship to institutional policies and practices that can support or hinder individuals. Justine hopes to further this research by exploring the evolution of ADHD/mental health in relation to the economic organization of society and the pharmaceutical industry. We wish Justine the best of luck both in her studies and future career endeavors! For more information about the MACS program, please visit here.
