UWinnipeg Associate Professor Dr. Jan Stewart (Faculty of Education) is being recognized for her work in international development. She is one of eight Manitobans highlighted in a campaign by Manitoba Council for International Cooperation (MCIC) for efforts towards achieving the United Nations’ eight Millennium Development Goals (MDG).
The “I am making a difference” campaign features Dr. Stewart and her research on MDG #2: Achieve Universal Primary Education. She is passionate about achieving universal primary education and works with teachers to develop curricula — primarily in post-conflict situations such as Uganda and South Sudan — that address the psycho-social and educational needs of children.

“I appreciate the MCIC support and the recognition for the research and training that I do in Zimbabwe, South Sudan, and Uganda,” said Stewart.
MCIC is a coalition of organizations involved in international development.
