Congratulations to SPPH PhD student Imelda Wong who has been awarded the Mustard Fellowship by Institute for Work & Health.

The Fellowship is named in honour of Dr. J. Fraser Mustard, who was the founding Board Chair of the Institute for Work & Health. The Fellowship supports the development of outstanding new researchers in the field of work and health and aims to build capacity for innovative multidisciplinary research concerning the relationships between work environments and worker health. 

Imelda's current research focuses on shift work and psychosocial stress, and the project she will work on as part of the Fellowship will examines the risk of, contributing factors to, and consequences of work-related injury among single and partnered parents.

Imelda will be defending her dissertation in the fall of 2012 and, on successful completion, will being the Fellowship in January 2013.

Congratulations Imelda!
