In response to requests from Future Generations alumni for a forum to interact
and gain additional skills and perspectives in applied research design,
methods, analysis, and publication options, the Graduate School
is excited to host a monthly
series of webinars on research-related topics driven by alumni and
student
interests! This series will be a platform and discussion space for
alumni, faculty, and current students. There are also plans to include
guest
speakers as well to bring relevant experience and expertise to the
discussions.
At Future Generations, many of our students,
alumni, and faculty are actively engaged in applied community-based research
and contributing to the exploration and advancement of the methods and rigor of
the field. The School's research foci include home-centered health, people-based
conservation, peacebuilding using positive deviants, effectiveness of
SEED-SCALE as a theory of social change, and the pedagogy of learning through engagement
with life and the world around us.
The first session, to be held on Tuesday, September 13, 2016
at 8:00am EST, will serve as an orientation and listening session. Faculty will
review the purpose of this webinar series, have brief introductions from
participants about their current work and interests, and review several
different structures and content options for the rest of the webinars in order
to decide what will be the most valuable use of this forum. Subsequent webinars
will be held on the second Tuesday of each month until May 2017. A full
schedule of webinar dates and topics will be finalized after the first session.
Each month’s session will be recorded and will be available
to Graduate School affiliates—including our alumni—via YouTube links.
If
you are interested in joining any of the seminars in this series,
please contact Meike Schleiff, Director of Research, at
