We respectfully acknowledge that our work at UBC takes place on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Musqueam people (xʷməθkʷəy̓əm).

This blogsite serves as a forum where EDST students and faculty can publicly share their research, provoke dialogue on topics in education, discuss student issues, and engage with others within the UBC community. Our current “Writing Series” focuses on forms of academic blogging and public facing scholarship.

This latest post highlights ties between the blog and EDST’s “Research Day.”

EDST students, faculty and staff are invited to check out the blog’s full “Call for Papers” and share questions on the theme of “community” on a Padlet on this post.
