Dalhousie Graduate Students Conference
Theme: Global Solutions to Global Problems: Expanding the Bounds of Knowledge
Food security, health, sustainable energy and climate change were identified as the most pressing global challenges for the next century at the 2018 Dal Ignite Gala. These challenges do not only cut across diverse fields of study, they also call to task diverse perspectives, including non-western forms of knowledge and knowing.
With over 3500 graduate students, including 1000 international students from around the globe and research cutting across various fields, Dal is well poised to engage these global challenges through interdisciplinary and multi-cultural lenses. The Dalhousie Graduate Students Conference (the Conference) provides a platform for such interdisciplinary and multicultural discourse. This event will be a forum for graduate student researchers to share, learn, discuss and connect on relevant issues impacting our world to empower students and support new learning and growth as an institution.
The conference will entail the presentation of interdisciplinary and multicultural research works, breakout brainstorming sessions on select themes, and a poster competition.
The Conference aims to celebrate Dal grads’ diverse cultures, showcase research from around the world, and provide a platform for networking and collaboration.
All Dal graduate students are invited to the Conference.
We welcome students from all disciplines and backgrounds to submit abstracts on the themes of food security, health, and sustainable energy and climate change; with a particular interest in research showcasing research and methodologies from around the world.
