FASS announces 3MT competition winners
On March 9, seven graduate students had the opportunity to showcase their knowledge and present their thesis at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition. The students came from various programs including Criminology, Economics, Gerontology, Linguistics, Philosophy, Sociology and Anthropology, and Urban Studies.
The 3MT competition challenges graduate students to present their thesis and its significance with just three minutes and one slide. The competition cultivates students' academic, presentation, and research communication skills, and celebrates exciting graduate research taking place at Simon Fraser University. The winner and runner-up from the FASS 3MT competition will move on to the university-wide heat.
After a brief deliberation from our judges and vote from the audience, the winners were selected. FASS would like to congratulate:
