This workshop will focus on code-switching in academic settings, and the colonial, patriarchal, and exclusionary language barriers that graduate students often face. We will discuss how to navigate the university’s expectations around language while still asserting our own voices, and how we, as TAs and instructors, can support other students in navigating these questions themselves.

Looking for data for your graduate thesis or post-doctoral project? This workshop will introduce you to both publicly available and restricted access Statistics Canada data, and how to apply to use restricted access data through UBCO Research Data Centre.
