We are pleased to share with you the details of the 2020 Nexus Interdisciplinary Conference,
Scholarship [in] Action
Lean in. Work Across. Act Out.
Too often, scholarship is inactive, inactionable, and inaccessible. When the story ends with a publication, the responsibility for change-making falls to someone else. But, the story doesn’t have to end there. This year, the Interdisciplinary Studies Graduate Program is teaming up with the Graduate Student Society and the Public Scholars Initiative to celebrate dynamic graduate students who engage in public scholarship, solutions-oriented research, and/or knowledge translation.
In this one-of-a-kind conference, we aim to disrupt scholarship inaction by showcasing Scholarship in Action.
We are now accepting abstracts for the upcoming Nexus conference. Submissions from graduate students, UBC faculty and staff, and community organizations are welcome. In an effort to increase the accessibility and applicability student work across disciplines, we are elevating creative presentation formats.
Conference Date: March 12-13, 2019
Abstract Submission Deadline: October 15, 2019
