Are you interested in a career in academia?
The annual Academic Career Conference, hosted by the Centre for Career Development, provides workshops, lightning talks and discussion panels to help graduate students and Postdocs prepare for an academic career. This year, the Academic Career Conference will focus on the theme “Inclusion in academic contexts: showing up as you in academia”. Join us to discuss how gender, cultural, religious and disability identities are integrated (or not) in the academic environment to foster a more inclusive space where everyone can show up as themselves.
In this conference you will learn how to:
- Advocate for yourself and for others at an academic workplace
- Incorporate inclusive and anti-oppressive pedagogies in the classroom
- Foster inclusion and community building
- Prepare for an academic hiring process by knowing the expectations of a hiring committee
