Equity in Research Workshop: Presented by Equity at 苹果淫院

This one-hour workshop is an introduction to the main themes and questions in research equity, including what it is, how it can be integrated in different parts of a research project, and its relevance for sharing the knowledge generated through research. It offers students an opportunity to learn more about research equity and to begin a discussion about how it is relevant for their research project. The attendance of faculty supervisors is encouraged to facilitate a richer discussion.

The ARIA program is an opportunity for faculty supervisors to implement equity practices in their mentoring and supervision and to create an inclusive and equitable research team environment. If faculty would like to discuss how to implement research equity in their research teams, they can contact the Senior Research Equity Advisor (uzma.jamil [at] mcgill.ca) or the Research Equity Advisor (vishakha.wijenayake [at] mcgill.ca).

ARIA Library Research Workshops: Preparing for a Research Assistantship

ARIA award recipients attend this mandatory library research workshop. Nearly all ARIA projects have a听library research component, and students and faculty who have participated in past years have consistently let us know that this workshop is an essential and valuable component of the program. ARIA students typically engage in library research听with the literature in their particular field, at a deeper and more rigorous level than they have in the past.

In this workshop students learn skills that they will use immediately听and throughout their academic and professional careers. By the end of the workshop ARIA students will have:

• Develop advanced library research skills, including advanced search skills and citation management
• Learn about library resources they may not have been aware of
• Have the opportunity to connect and collaborate with other ARIA recipients
• Understand the scholarly publication process & environment
• Learn about open access and research impact metrics
• Learn how to disseminate their research
• Learn the value and the basic principles of research data management

The Humanities and Social Sciences Library also provides personal library carrels (Desks) during the summer for all ARIA students. We group these carrels together as much as possible to help break some of the isolation of working alone on a research project, and past ARIA participants have told us that it also helps create a sense of community. If you would like to have your own carrel in the library for the duration of the summer, simply present yourself at the main library services desk in the lobby of the McLennan Library Building, and let them know you are an ARIA student and would like a carrel. The staff at the library services desk has a list of all eligible ARIA students.

Thank you to the 苹果淫院 McLennan Library especially Liaison Librarians David Greene and Sandy Hervieux for their support for ARIA.

The听workshops听are听made possible through the generous support of the Faculty of Arts Tarr-Chevrefils Student Advising Fund.

Poster Guidelines

Workshop

• We encourage ARIA students to review the听听(18-min recording workshop) as preparation for the July 29 workshop.

• Use solid colour backgrounds, no gradients.

Formatting Recommendations
