As we prepare for this year’s “Research Day” in EDST…
We’re eager to explore a range of topics in educational research under the theme of “Power Revisited: Practices Against Complacency in Education,” chosen in honor of our department’s 30th anniversary.
Research Day is a wonderful opportunity to bring your research interests and work to others in the department, and to engage in dialogue with EDST colleagues.
Presentations will take on many forms, including:
-
- Traditional paper presentations,
- Ignite presentations (20 slides in 5 minutes),
- art, film, and performance pieces,
- Poster presentations.
Additionally, the day will feature roundtable and panel sessions with formats like: panelist presentations, group discussions, book presentations, and informal Scholars’ Café sessions.
One exciting addition to this year’s Research Day is the introduction of the Research Day Blog Publication Award.
Current EDST students who present at Research Day and subsequently transform their presentations into blog posts will be eligible to win a $50 UBC Bookstore gift card prizes. Blog posts are typically 500-1,000 words and follow a public facing writing format. The winners of the awards will be selected by the Blog’s Editorial Board.
We are excited for this collaboration between the EDST Blog and Research Day, and to showcase some of the exciting work by EDST students!
(submissions are now closed).
The blog has several examples of past Research Day presentations transformed into blog posts, including:
To aid students in the process of transforming their Research Day presentations into blog posts, we’ve created a short template (below).
The template is intended as a resource to help students get started thinking about writing for a blog audience, and distilling the essential pieces of their presentation to include in a blog post.
Submissions due: May 17th. Click below to submit.
Stay tuned for more details about this award at EDST Research Day.
