Come prepared for an intense hour of poster making fun!

This workshop will overview best practices and give advice on short presentation styles such as SLAMs and Pecha-Kuchas. Available for all members of the VIU community.

Led by Nicole Bennett from the Faculty of Management. A research project is similar to a business project in that they both have specific objectives, partners, risks, resources, a schedule, and budget that need to be adhered to.  Applying project management principles to research will give researchers the tools and techniques to complete their research in a timely and methodical manner and will allow the researcher to have a gauge to know where they are at in their plan.

Archaeologist Patty Wells brings a personal perspective to a discussion of knowledge mobilization in her academia and public life. She will present a brief journey through the forces in academia that influenced how she learned to communicate and listen in order to better understand how peoples lived in the past. It is her hope that this historical perspective will show students in the early years of their academic careers that the knowledge they communicate will have been shaped by traditions that both limit and expand understanding.
