Format: This four-day event will include two panels from faculty on
topics associated with Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women. The
symposium will also include a student panel and a World Café Event.

The World Café (March 27 @ 9-3). This day-long event will encourage
discussion, creativity, and action planning with individuals committed
to social action. We imagine participation from members of the
university community (staff, students and faculty) as well as the larger
community of Regina and area.

Call for Presenters: Three one-hour panels will be offered from March
24-26 (details below). Each panel will have 4-5 presenters. Each
presenter will have 10 minutes to present. Presenters are invited to be
creative (engage participants in an activity that you do in class; tell
a story; offer a photo essay; or use power point or other tools).

Presenters will be asked to respond to one of the following questions:

* Panel 1 (March 24 @ 1pm) – How are we teaching about
Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women in the Liberal Arts?

* Panel 2 (March 25 @ 11:30am) – How are we teaching about
Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women in the Professional Programs?

* Panel 3 (March 26 @ 2pm) – How are we learning about
Missing and Murdered Aboriginal women in our undergraduate and graduate
studies? A student panel.

Hi Everyone,

Valerie Triggs and I are excited to announce the Investigating our Practices conference coming up in April.

We are linking up with UBC as they are now in their 16th year of hosting this brilliant forum.

The nature of this conference is to investigate our practices and to exchange innovative ways of looking at pedagogy with others. This conference serves as a rich and fertile environment for undergraduate and graduate students as well as faculty and K-12 teachers in the field within a supportive atmosphere.

We are encouraging you to consider writing a proposal (250 words – Deadline February 26th) as well as encourage your students or any teachers you know in the field.

We are hoping you can help us spread the word and encourage your students to make a proposal.

Included in this email are a few options to inform your students about this event.

– A set of slides that outline the conference and the 3 different forms of presenting
– A one-page poster that has all the information on the other side, which could be, uploaded on your UR courses.

We have also dropped a hard copy poster with information on the backside in your box.

Thanks for helping us spread the word!!!!

We look forward to your proposal!

Sincerely

Kathryn Ricketts & Valerie Triggs

University of Regina Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) Conference

Deadline for Submissions:
Sunday, February 1st, 2015

Conference Date:
Saturday, March 21st, 2015
ED106, University of Regina

Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is a research communication competition developed by The University of Queensland in Australia. Students have three minutes to present a compelling oration on their thesis and its significance. 3MT is not an exercise in trivialising or “dumbing-down” research, but challenges students to consolidate their ideas and research discoveries so they can be presented concisely to a non-specialist audience. At the U of R, 3MT® is part of an effort to provide students with an opportunity to develop their oral communication and presentation skills. Active (thesis-based) Masters or PhD candidates are eligible to participate in all levels of the regional 3MT® competition.

For more information:

Conference web page: http://www.ureginagsa.com/about-the-conference/

The SIDRU Seminar dates Jan 28, Feb 4, 11, and Mar 4 are part of a Theory and Method Series intended to support grad students who want to understand more about educational theory and methods.

SIDRU Seminars provide a forum for educators and students to discuss educational issues and research and their implications for teaching and learning.

Everyone is welcome. Coffee and cookies are provided. No registration is required.
