everyone on this list is a current member of CATR/ACRT.
However, the association is pursuing a number of initiatives
that may be of interest to a broader readership. This includes
a survey developed by the Emerging Scholars Task Force, which
I hope those who have been a CATR member at some point in the
last 5-6 years will take (even if you aren't currently a
member). <br>

<strong>1. Membership survey.</strong> The members of the CATR
Emerging Scholar Task Force have prepared a survey and hope
that all CATR/ACRT members will take some time to complete it.
In so doing, you will help us learn more about how we can best
serve our members, especially graduate students, postdoctoral
fellows, and those pursuing non-academic or alternative-academic
careers. Plus those who complete the survey (<a

au courant des activités en cours. Veuillez suivre les liens

comment vous pouvez participer concrètement à la réalisation de
nos initiatives.<br>
<br>
<strong>1. Sondage auprès des membres.</strong> Les membres du
comité de réflexion de jeunes chercheurs de l’ACRT ont élaboré
un sondage en espérant que tous les membres de l’association
prendront le temps d’y répondre. Ce faisant, vous nous aiderez à
cerner comment nous pourrions mieux servir notre communauté,
mais en particulier les étudiants des cycles supérieurs, les
chercheurs postdoctoraux et les professionnels œuvrant à
l’extérieur du milieu universitaire. De plus, tous ceux qui
répondront au sondage (<a
