Hello EDST Community,

The program committee for EDST Virtual Research Day 2021 invites proposals for synchronous and asynchronous individual presentations, poster sessions, roundtable and panel sessions from students and faculty members. All students are welcome: Ph.D., Ed.D., M.A., and M.Ed. EDST!

EDST Research Day showcases the rich educational research, practice, and theory developed by the department’s students and faculty. We welcome work in diverse subjects, and in all phases of development, including projects that come out of coursework, research conducted as Research Assistants or Principal Investigators, thesis sections, or papers in progress. Presenters can also try out ideas to be developed for a forthcoming conference.

We invite proposals on the conference theme, ‘Building Resilient Communities: Reimagining the Roles of Education’, as being reflective of the focus of some key conferences this year. Suggested topics can include (but are not limited to):

  • Indigenous approaches to education
  • Foundations of education
  • Teacher education
  • Leadership & Policy

 

Each session should include at least one EDST student, but we encourage collaborations with EDST faculty members and/or students from other departments. Faculty members are invited to take an active role throughout Research Day as discussants, moderators, facilitators, and mentors.

 

Where: Zoom

When: Saturday April 17th, 2021
