From June 6th to June 27th, the Games Institute (GI) ran a series of four workshops aimed at engaging GI student members on navigating the complexities of interdisciplinary research. This included lessons on communicating and presenting research to non-expert audiences, managing interdisciplinary research projects, and traversing university systems to receive interdisciplinary research support .  

The four workshops in this pilot run were: 

  • 101 on How UWaterloo Works Within the Context of Interdisciplinary Work with Agata Antkiewicz 

  • 101 of Managing an Interdisciplinary Project with Pamela Maria Schmidt 

  • 101 on Talking to Non-expert Audiences with Dr. Elise Vist 

  • 101 on Knowledge Mobilization in Real World Media with Dr. Emma Vossen 

The series will continue in Fall 2024, providing tools and resources for the GI student membership on working within an interdisciplinary environment and how to apply this knowledge to their own research.
