The University of British Columbia marks Celebrate Research Week March 2-9, an engaging public showcase of events and activities that represent UBC’s strengths and diversity in research.
The iSchool is helping to kick off the week-long research showcase with its 3rd Annual Research Day on Friday, March 2. The day's theme is "Information & Power: Designers, Disseminators, and Stewards". This event is a yearly showcase
of iSchool faculty and student research, as well as the work of researchers from related areas associated with the school. It is be a day of sharing ideas – as well as food and a bit of fun – and a time for reflecting about the work of designers, disseminators,
and stewards of information.
Throughout Research Day participants will explore how, as designers, disseminators, and stewards of information, we seek to discover and shape the relationship between power and information in individual’s lives, community institutions, and the wider world.
The day begins with a keynote address by Professor Cheryl Metoyer, Associate Dean of Research at the University of Washington Information School. The title of Dr. Metoyer’s talk is "All Things Connected: Relationality in Native American Knowledge Organization."
The full Research Day program includes posters, presentations, and demos featuring the work of the school's Masters and Doctoral students, faculty, adjunct instructors, and professional colleagues. We have an engaging afternoon planned. Join us if you can.
