Research Day 2018
Research Day 2018 was held on April 6 at Ponderosa Commons-Oak House. Like previous years, it was a resounding success thanks for the participation of students and faculty members from EDST and other departments. The organising committee would like to thank Dr. Linc Kesler for delivering the keynote on “Reconciliation, or Relationship?”. Dr. Kesler’s inspiring message was also a timely one, as Canada just celebrated its 150th anniversary the year before.
We are also indebted to Dr. Micheal Marker for acknowledging the indigenous land that we were on, and all the students and faculty members who had presented and participated in this year’s event. Research Day is an initiative that is organised by students for students, and the event could not have taken off without your collective support!

KEYNOTE
Reconciliation, or Relationship?
Dr. Linc Kesler
Director, First Nations House of Learning
Associate Professor, First Nations and Indigenous Studies, UBC
“When people speak of “reconciliation,” they often think of an end, a kind of mythical state in which history will be left behind and all harm and blame removed. In doing so, they may miss the daily opportunities, and perhaps the responsibility, to act.” Dr. Linc Kesler
