The UBC Centre for Migration Studies kicks off the July Grad Student Power Hour programming with Maria Cervantes (PhD student, Geography) on July 8, 2021 on “Digital transnationalism: strategies against vulnerability in the immigration journey.”
The event provides a platform for UBC graduate students to share their migration research beyond their academic departments. It also provides networking opportunities with faculty, students, researchers and practitioners from across the broader university and community sectors.
Each Grad Student Power Hour will begin with a 10 minute networking session, followed by a 30 minute research talk. The remaining 20 minutes will be reserved for discussion.
The next event is:
July 22 – Natasha Damiano (PhD student, Rehabilitation Sciences) – “Creating possibilities for music and belonging: A narrative and arts-based approach to immigrant children and youth’s group singing.”
Click on the talk title above to visit each event page. There, you can read an abstract for each talk, learn more about each grad student presenter, and RSVP for the events. As the initial events are online, a zoom link, when available, will be sent to all participants who RSVP.
All are welcome to attend The UBC Centre for Migration Studies’ Grad Student Power Hours. We look forward to seeing you there!
