Waterloo’s Writing and Communication Centre is currently accepting applications for Dissertation Boot Camp. This sustained program, which is designed to help dissertation and thesis writers to get a jump start on their writing goals, runs every Monday from January 21st to March 4th, from 9:00am to 12:30pm.
In this workshop, we will collaborate to address the ableist attitudes, policies, and practices that are built into higher education. We will also interrogate the minimal and temporary means we have been given to address inequities, and the cost such an approach has for disabled students and faculty. Finally, we will explore how to design our own classrooms, in advance, in ways that anticipate and welcome different avenues for learning, means of expression, and modes of knowledge-creation.
The GSPA coordinates a professional development credentialing program for students. Within this program students create an IDP and can tailor their professional development to their path of interest. There is still room within the Foundations Introductory workshops being held Jan 29 and Feb 27: https://uwaterloo.ca/graduate-studies-postdoctoral-affairs/current-students/professional-skills-foundations

As the University of Guelph writes: “Indigenous Performers, Vaudeville, and Building Relations of Research Exchange” is part of “a research project that [Bold] says upends long-held notions of the role Native peoples played in the popular culture of the late 1800s and early 1900s.
