Planning for grad school
Join us for a panel discussion on neurodiversity – hear from professors researching in the field and students with lived experience.
Our communities face a wide variety of wicked challenges such as encouraging sustainable economic development, engaging in Indigenous reconciliation, and enabling a local environment for human flourishing. In this talk we will discuss what it takes to build a community that has the capacity for innovation, including tools that you can use as a student, educator, and citizen to help build the innovative community you want to be a part of.
Planning for a career or summer jobs
Ever wonder what life will be like after you graduate?
So did we. Ask us anything about transitioning out of your undergraduate degree.
The panel includes BKI alumni working in multiple disciplines and completing post-graduate study.
As a bioarchaeologist who works with human remains from archaeological sites in order to reconstruct the lives of past peoples my research revolves around collaboration. Using my current research at an Early Bronze Age site in southern Jordan (Wadi Faynan 100) as a case study, I will explore what it means to be a researcher aiming to do ‘good science’, while also doing ‘science for good’. Working with the dead requires strong relationships with, and sensitivities to, not only your colleagues and national governments, but to the local communities without whom you could not do your work at all. One of my major research projects is examining the impacts of toxic trace metals on childhood health and development due to the development of metallurgy during the Early Bronze Age. This work exists in a sphere of interest and anxieties felt well beyond the academy. Acknowledging the complexities of interests and anxieties can provide valuable insights for anyone who aims to do collaborative work across disciplinary boundaries, in international settings, and with the consent of various public stakeholders.
Join the Anti-Oppression Knowledge Integrators working group for an open discussion about the place of anti-oppression work (e.g. decolonization, justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion) at the University of Waterloo.
The students in the Knowledge Integration program invite you to experience the culmination of our third-year design project: The Museum Course. Working in teams to produce these exhibits on Waterloo's Global Futures has been a rewarding and unique experience. Additionally, check out the fourth-year students' poster presentations from their Senior Honours Project!
The graduating class of Knowledge Integration students will be presenting "flash talks" about their senior research projects, followed by individual discussions at their poster displays. Forming the capstone of their four-year undergraduate career, these projects represent an exciting synthesis of the diverse disciplines the students have explored through this one-of-a-kind interdisciplinary program.
