Educational Studies Blog
Curated by EDST Students
Welcome to the UBC Educational Studies Blog!
Curated and led by EDST graduate students, this blog is a space for our whole community—students, faculty, staff, and alumni—to share ideas, research, and creative work. It supports graduate students in building their skills and competencies as early career researchers and education professionals, while fostering dialogue and connection across the department.
From personal narratives and poetry to multimedia projects and public-facing scholarship, the blog highlights diverse voices and perspectives that spark conversation and inspire learning.
Supporting Early Career Researchers, Faculty & Education Professionals
The EDST Blog is proudly funded by the UBC Department of Educational Studies (EDST) as part of its commitment to supporting early career researchers and education professionals. The Blog Editor role was created to provide graduate students with opportunities for mentorship, skill development, and leadership in research communication and writing.
While the blog’s editorial team is composed of graduate students who guide its content and direction, contributions are welcomed from all members of the EDST community. Our aim is to amplify student voices while also engaging faculty, staff, and alumni in meaningful dialogue that strengthens our shared commitments to education, within the university and beyond.
