JHI How-to: Include Research Trainees in KM & Research Activities – Nov. 26, 2024
Session Description
November 26 2024 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Researchers in the humanities and social sciences, are you wondering how you can better include student training in your funding applications? As projects become more complex, as a PI you might be looking for some inspiration for the range of roles that students can play for a funded research project. This workshop presents the possibilities for student research assistants and features a roundtable discussion with other faculty PIs who have found innovative, creative and meaningful ways to include RAs to bring their projects from an idea into reality.
With faculty guest speakers:
- Max Mishler (Department of History)
- Sonja Nikkila (Department of English, UTSC)
- Karina Vernon (Department of English, UTSC)
Learning Objectives
At the end of this workshop, you will have a greater understanding of:
- The full range of roles RAs can play in your project, particularly for Knowledge Mobilization
- How to create meaningful opportunities for student professional development and mentorship
- How to nurture an inclusive, multidisciplinary and intergenerational community of researchers
