Research conversations: Yap about your research (GradProSkills workshop)

This training is offered by GradProSkills. It is only open to current graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. 

Advance registration is required. 

Research can sometimes feel isolating, especially when you have limited opportunities to talk about your work outside your department or discipline. Research conversations give you a friendly and supportive space to talk about what you are working on, exchange ideas, and get more comfortable discussing your research with others.

In this 90-minute interdisciplinary session, you will have five minutes to “yap” about your research, ideas, challenges, or work in progress, followed by ten minutes of conversation and peer feedback. You can use slides, talk through a research challenge, practice a conference or thesis presentation, or simply share an idea you would like to discuss.

Offered in collaboration with the Centre for the Study of Learning and Performance (CSLP), these sessions bring together graduate students and postdoctoral fellows from different disciplines to exchange experiences and perspectives. Along the way, you will also have opportunities to discuss practical tips for talking about and presenting your research.
