The clock will be ticking for presenters at a research showcase on April 7.
Ten scholars in the social sciences, humanities and creative arts will present their research at an event hosted by the Office of the Vice-Principal (Research) using the PechaKucha format. PechaKucha has each presenter deliver 20 slides for 20 seconds each, making for information-dense but fast-moving presentations.
Each researcher will be discussing the work they카지노 게임 컬렉션ve done with grants from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC).
카지노 게임 컬렉션We want to celebrate the diversity of research represented in the social sciences, humanities and creative arts community at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s. We also wish to celebrate the successes and impact of the work and the value that SSHRC funding can have in advancing research, collaborations and partnerships, and training opportunities for our students카지노 게임 컬렉션, says Steven Liss, Vice-Principal (Research). 카지노 게임 컬렉션This is about building a community and bringing together individuals from across the university in a way that they may think differently about their own research and to explore opportunities for collaboration.카지노 게임 컬렉션
The event will be held at the 카지노게임사이트 Club and is open to all of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s community.
Among those presenting is Dr. Leela Viswanathan, a professor in the School of Urban and Regional Planning. She카지노 게임 컬렉션ll be kicking the night off by talking about the work she카지노 게임 컬렉션s done at the intersection of de-colonization and land planning.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I카지노 게임 컬렉션m asking how we can get planners to rethink their entire process and to ask the community what was in this space before,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says.
Her research brings First Nations people into the planning process and has had interesting results when put into practice. In one of the townships she카지노 게임 컬렉션s worked with, it led to them incorporating archaeological knowledge and indigenous land use practices into the town카지노 게임 컬렉션s development plan.
카지노 게임 컬렉션We all plan constantly, even if we have different words and credentials for it. This type of work is about creating a feeling of belonging in new ways, because the public learns and translates history into their everyday life.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Later in the night, Liying Cheng (Faculty of Education) will be presenting her research examining the effects of test preparation on language proficiency and test performance. Because many high stakes decisions are informed by language test scores, understanding what affects the testing is essential.
카지노 게임 컬렉션We카지노 게임 컬렉션re trying to communicate with stakeholders to be careful in their use of test scores, as tests are a one-time indicator of performance,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Cheng. 카지노 게임 컬렉션It has serious ramifications for students and professionals coming into Canada, such as students, teachers, doctors and engineers,카지노 게임 컬렉션 카지노 게임 컬렉션 groups that all have English language test requirements before being approved to study and/or work.
The event카지노 게임 컬렉션s other presenters come from a wide array of disciplines, but everyone will be racing to share their research, 20 seconds at a time.
