Event description
Join us for the official launch of a special issue of the Education Review focused on the lived experiences of doctoral students from the Faculty of Education. Guest Editors-in-Chief and PhD candidates Derya Sahingil and Jenny Stodola will discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic and its lasting impacts have influenced individual experiences and community connections in the graduate studies journey. Many of the publication’s authors will be in attendance and will share their reflections. We hope to stimulate an engaging conversation about today's graduate studies experience. All are welcome.
