This past summer, Livia Steeves (BA'25) was new to directing and about to shoot a five‑minute short film in only four and a half hours. After a sleepless night, she arrived at the Grad House on the UNB Fredericton campus before dawn, ready to go, her crew already moving.
Congratulations to Dr. Heather Millar, an associate professor of political science at UNB, whose book has received an honourable mention for the American Political Science Association’s Seymour Lipset Best Book Award. “The award is meaningful for me because it comes from the Canadian Politics section of one of the leading scholarly associations in Political Science,” said Millar.
Researchers at UNB studied how women in rural communities experience intimate partner violence. Their findings highlight how challenges like isolation, limited services and close-knit communities increase risk—and offer recommendations to improve safety.
