Jennifer McDougall's Masters thesis is a novel about professional women leading change in Alberta’s natural resource extraction industry and the entangled issues of resource stewardship, the physical and mental well-being of workers, corporate economic production, and responsible scientific and technological progress.
For her undergraduate honours thesis, Jennifer McDougall analyzed a range of family narratives and produced an original story of a family learning how to accommodate its own evolution in terms of blending, divorce, and cohabiting.
