The Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT) will be offering a Graduate Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) on December 10, 11 & 17, 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).

Click here to apply for the waitlist for December 10, 11 & 17, 2022: https://events.ctlt.ubc.ca/events/graduate-instructional-skills-workshop-december-10-11-17-2022/

 

Application opens on October 31 and closes on December 7, 2022 at 4:30 pm. By clicking this link, you are applying 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 apply for an ISW will first be enrolled on a waitlist, from which participants are randomly selected. If a participant has applied 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:

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

The UBC IT IAM team is removing the FASmail auto provision for LFS Grads today. Only the currently active students in SIS will continue to have access. Grad students who contacted IT after the alerts were sent out were given extensions.

 

Please remember to use your UBC Student email account instead of FASmail for publishing papers as this account will always remain accessible to you. All FASmail accounts will gradually be phased out as you graduate from your program.

 

Information on student email can be found here, https://it.ubc.ca/services/email-voice-internet/ubc-student-email-service.

On behalf of Dr. Thomas Netticadan, CCARM Team Leader, please forward to everyone in your departments,

 

Registration for the International Trainee Symposium in Agri-Food, Nutrition and Health – CCARM’s Rapid Fire Research Symposium is now open, AND IT’S FREE!

 

CCARM’s 3rd Rapid Fire Symposium will occur January 19-20, 2023. 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM CST. The event will be held in the Samuel N. Cohen Auditorium at the St. Boniface Hospital Albrechtsen Research Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

This symposium comes at a time when there is a tremendous public interest in utilizing food to achieve health benefits, beyond just providing basic nutritional requirements.  The need for new information in this area is high, and it is, therefore, our pleasure to provide scientific sessions that will highlight the progress in this field.

Another major component of this meeting is education.  The promotion of trainees is critical to developing the next generation of investigators, and there is a strong need to develop greater capacity in this area.  Furthermore, this symposium is an opportunity for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to showcase their research and achievements and provide them with the opportunity to network and engage in discussions with other researchers and trainees in their field.

Register here before December 15, 2022.

 

Abstracts to be submitted here before November 15, 2022

Drawing on decades of scholarship in the discipline of Critical Indigenous Studies that centres Indigenous sovereignty to elucidate relationships between Indigenous peoples and colonial nation-states and entities in Canada, this talk examines how an unambiguous engagement with Indigenous sovereignty, as understood through Indigenous legal orders and legal-ethical practices in Canada and internationally, can strengthen efforts to protect at-risk aquatic species and watersheds across the country. The use of arts-based research-creation approaches will be examined to help illustrate dynamic cross-disciplinary and pluralistic approaches to documenting, engaging, and upholding plural governance principles grounded in Indigenous sovereignties across many different homelands.   Speaker:  Dr. Zoe Todd Associate Professor Department of Sociology and Anthropology Carleton University Dr. Zoe Todd (she/they) (Red River Métis) is a practice-led artist-researcher who studies the relationships between Indigenous sovereignty and freshwater fish futures in Canada. As a Métis anthropologist and researcher-artist, Dr. Todd combines dynamic social science and humanities research and research-creation approaches – including ethnography, archival research, oral testimony, and experimental artistic research practices – within a framework of Indigenous philosophy to elucidate new ways to study and support the complex relationships between Indigenous sovereignty and freshwater fish well-being in Canada today. They are a co-founder of the Institute for Freshwater Fish Futures (2018), which is a collaborative Indigenous-led initiative that is ‘restor(y)ing fish futures, together’ across three continents. They are also a co-founder of the Indigenous Environmental Knowledge Institute (IEKI) at Carleton University (2021). They were a 2018 Yale Presidential Visiting Fellow, and in 2020 they were elected to the Royal Society of Canada’s College of New Scholars.   Please note: This session will be recorded Please RSVP:  https://oceans.ubc.ca/2022larkinlecture
