February 2019 CALENDAR

February 8, 2019 (Friday)

Comparing post colonial, decolonial and critical race theories

1:00pm – 2:30pm

Location: PCOH 1302
Host: Dr. Vanessa Andreotti

In this session we will compare and contrast four different general approaches to social and epistemic injustices that have emerged from postcolonial, (Latin American) decolonial, Indigenous and critical race studies. We will engage with a social cartography that presents how each approach articulates a slightly different theory of change and use the comparisons to reflect on participants’ own theories of change. The exercise will highlight the contextual contributions and  limitations of each theoretical approach, as well as their potential to support us to ask different questions in educational contexts.

Preparing an Outstanding Literature Review – From a reviewer’s Perspective

3:00pm – 4:00pm

Location: PCOH 1306A (Video Conference Room)

Organiser: Dr. Tom Sork

Graduate students are expected to produce well-written, carefully-organized, comprehensive and critical literature reviews as part of their academic studies. Many books and other resources are available to guide students through the process, but this session will focus more on the expectations of faculty, examiners, journal editors and others who read and assess reviews. The characteristics of high quality reviews and common flaws to avoid will be discussed along with the role that an outstanding literature review can play in the development of one’s academic career.
