Dr. Guylaine Vaillancourt, President of The Canadian Association for Music Therapy, Assistant Professor of Creative Arts Therapies at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada and Antioch University Ph.D. in Leadership and Change Program Alumna, has won an International Innovative Electronic Theses and Dissertation Award.
The 2010 Electronic Dissertation Awards, granted by The Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD, www.ndltd.org) consortium, recognize students who have written exemplary electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) as well as leaders who have helped to promote ETD programs. Winners have demonstrated new dimensions of scholarship being explored by individuals who have made significant contributions to the worldwide ETD movement. The Innovative ETD Award, in particular, applauds student efforts to transform the genre of the print dissertation through the use of innovative software to create cutting edge ETDs. Use of renderings, photos, video and other multimedia objects that are included in the electronic document were considered as part of the innovation of the work.
Dr. Vaillancourt’s dissertation entitled, Mentoring Apprentice Music Therapists for Peace and Social Justice through Community Music Therapy: An Arts-Based Study, aims to reveal some the critical themes in the experiences and relationships that apprentice music therapists have with community music therapy, peace, social justice, leadership and mentorship. The work, which is gaining much interest in the world of alternative counseling and therapeutics, features many audio clips of musical interventions, interviews and thoughts from collective music therapists.
