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.

The research on student course evaluations loudly exclaims that overreliance on one perspective in teaching assessment – the student perspective – has a negative impact on both the wellbeing and career trajectory of faculty members who belong to systemically oppressed populations. Join Dr. Kim Buchanan (Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Anti-racism) and Dr. Sonya Buffone (Teaching Assessment Processes Office) to learn about the concrete steps Waterloo is taking to establish a more equitable, holistic model of teaching assessment.

This workshop, a combination of presentation and question & answer period, will introduce research IDs and how to create one using ORCID, as well as how to increase an ORCIDs credibility by affiliating the record to an institution, such as the University of Waterloo.
