As part of the Indigenous Initiatives Classroom Climate series at the Centre for Teaching, Learning, and Technology, we will be hosting a Project Update and Feedback session on the educational resource Time and Place at UBC. Everyone is welcome. Please see details below.

Musqueam-UBC Timeline Project Update and Feedback (Rescheduled)

 Register: http://events.ctlt.ubc.ca/events/musqueam-ubc-timeline-project-update-and-feedback-rescheduled/

Event Date & Time March 7, 2017, 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Event Description

The digital timeline – Time and Place at UBC: Our Histories and Relations – is currently undergoing exciting developments to create a new timeline row that presents the history of the Musqueam Nation. In this session, the project team will share updates on the project and engage participants in discussing how the newly developed resource can be used in various teaching and learning settings. In addition, the team will solicit feedback from participants in order to make the resource more meaningful and relevant to the needs and interests of various users as well as of the Musqueam community.

This timeline development project is funded by the 2016-17 Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund (TLEF) grant. Read about the TLEF project here and here.

This is a rescheduled session that was originally advertised for January 26.

Facilitators:

• Jason Woolman, Senior Archivist, Musqueam Indian Band
• Mathew Andreatta, Student in the First Nations and Indigenous Studies program, and TLEF Project Student Assistant
• Hanae Tsukada, Educational Developer, Classroom Climate, Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology, UBC

PSI Award + Info Session Announcement

This award is part of the UBC Public Scholars Initiative (PSI) which intends to build connections, community, and capacity for doctoral students who are interested in explicitly linking their doctoral work to an arena of public benefit and integrating broader and more career-relevant forms of scholarship into their doctoral education process. Sign up here for the Info Session on March 7th, 2017.

About the PSI Award:

Up to $10,000 per student is available to support innovative/collaborative scholarship which the student would otherwise be unable to pursue. Funding can be used for:

·         A research allowance (including allowance for professional development or travel relevant to the scholarly work)

Funding is available for up to 30 new students in 2017-18. Students may be eligible for renewal for a second year (pending new PSI funding).
