In-Person Graduate Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) August 6, 13 & 20, 2022 waitlist sign up opens June 24!

Standard

Hello,

Please forward the following information to your graduate students:

Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT) will be offering an In-Person Graduate Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) on August 6, 13 & 20, 2022.

The Grad ISW is a 24-hour, fully participatory, and peer-based professional development workshop for graduate students that is beneficial to both new and experienced instructors.

Please note: you must attend all face-to-face sessions and complete all independent work for the complete duration of the workshop, (i.e. the entire 24-hour workshop).

To register for the waitlist for August 6, 13 & 20, 2022 sign up here: https://events.ctlt.ubc.ca/events/graduate-instructional-skills-workshop-august-6-13-20-2022/

 

Waitlist opens on June 24 and will close on August 3, 2022 at 4:30 pm. By clicking this link, you are signing up for the WAITLIST only and this DOES NOT register you for the workshop. Graduate ISWs at UBC are in high demand. To create an equitable registration process all graduate students who register for an ISW will first be enrolled on a waitlist, from which participants are randomly selected. If a participant has registered for more than one ISW waitlist, their name will appear more frequently when generating the participant list, giving them a higher chance of being selected for an ISW. If you are accepted into the workshop, you will be contacted by our office to confirm your registration. For more information and a list of all upcoming sessions visit: http://ctlt.ubc.ca/gradisw

Workshop Eligibility:

A participant who wishes to take the Grad ISW is eligible if they are:

  • a full-time or part-time registered graduate student at UBC during the academic term when the ISW is offered
  • a graduate student at UBC who has completed degree requirements but has not yet convocated
  • a joint degree graduate student who is enrolled at UBC and another institution
  • a graduate student at UBC pursuing non-degree studies
  • a visiting graduate student that is eligible to take courses

A participant who wishes to take the Grad ISW is not eligible if they are:

  • a graduate student at UBC who has on-leave status
  • a visiting graduate student that is not eligible to take courses

Methodologies of Crossing: Exploring Interdisciplinary Knowledges, Trajectories, and Worldviews 

 

Professor: Dr. Rajdeep S. Gill

Day/Time: Tuesdays, 4:00 – 7:00pm (online), September – December 2022

Email contact: rajdeep.gill@ubc.ca

 

Course Description

 

This course offers a creative and collaborative approach to understanding and exploring interdisciplinary constructions of knowledges across the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. The methodological, structural and socio-ecological contours of diverse historical and contemporary formations of interdisciplinarity will be intricately examined. There will be a strongly focus on the interrelationship of knowledges and value, interdisciplinarities and public reason.

 

Along with in-depth dialogue and experiential learning, guest speakers from the UBC community and beyond will be invited to enrich interdisciplinary engagement and learning. A supportive and exploratory space will be created for connecting interdisciplinarity to the specific research, methodological and personal interests of each course participant.

 

No background in interdisciplinary research is required, and students from any and all areas of study are welcome. Curiosity, adventurousness, imagination and creativity will be encouraged. The desire to expand avenues of knowledge exchange and translation across academic, community and public contexts will be welcomed and supported.
