Workshops and Events at Research Hub
Interdisciplinary Research Seminars
Interdisciplinary Research Seminars (IRS) is a new initiative in the Faculty of Education which aims to support graduate students and faculty research and communication across cognate areas. It will be a safe, informal, collaborative space for graduate students and faculty to share their work in progress and get feedback from peers and colleagues. To situate discussions and provide everyone with the opportunity to share their work and get feedback, students and faculty will be encouraged to sign up for a time slot to present throughout a semester. Each participant will have five minutes to present their work and then a group will have about 25 minutes to discuss and provide feedback. Each seminar will have two presenters and will last for one hour. Staring in May, participants will meet twice a month via Zoom platform.
Topics and seminar dates will be announced soon, please stay tuned!
