If so, you will be required to prepare a teaching dossier for job applications. In order to prepare all of the components for an excellent dossier, you need to begin building, developing, and gathering evidence about your teaching during your graduate degree. The most important part of the dossier is the teaching statement. This workshop will assist you in developing your teaching statement, and outline an effective structure for organizing your materials for your dossier. Developing Teaching, Research, and Publishing Skills for your Academic Toolbox Join other graduate students from across the country for an exciting day networking and learning about teaching dossiers and philosophies, publishing, and developing a research agenda. The day will be focused on planning career development strategies for academic careers. Registration: https://cssheccgsepreconference.eventbrite.com Location: Scurfield 268 12:15-1:00 PM SCHEDULE 8:30-9:00 AM REGISTRATION AND INTRODUCTIONS 1:15-2:15 PM JOINING SCHOLARLY CONVERSATIONS: “Moving from Student to Published Author” –Dr. Michelle K. McGinn, Brock University 9:00-10:30 AM KEYNOTE PRESENTATION “How to Survive your PhD” –Dr. Inger Mewburn, Australian National University Description of Session: Writing for publication involves joining a scholarly conversation with other authors and with potential readers. Scholarly conversations require authors to cite or quote other authors appropriately and effectively. At the same time, authors must take ownership of their own ideas and develop a coherent writing voice. There are differing expectations for course papers, theses, conference presentations, and publishable articles. This interactive workshop will focus on hands-on activities and evidenced-based strategies to enhance your writing. To take full advantage of the session, you are encouraged to bring your conference paper or some other writing that you wish to rework into a publishable paper. Description of Session: The PhD is too often talked about as a daunting journey that ruins lives, but does it have to be traumatic for you? Some PhD advice that will be offered to you will be helpful, but there is a lot that will be useless – or even damaging. In this session Inger goes through some of the commonly offered ‘advice’ and separates what might be useful from what is just… not. She then introduces you to some evidence backed strategies and tools for success. 10:45-12:15 PM THE TEACHING DOSSIER “Preparing for your Academic Career Now” –Cynthia Korpan, University of Victoria Updated April 22nd Lunch (Included) 8 2:15-2:45 PM A CONVERSATION WITH A JOURNAL EDITOR –Dr. Michelle Pidgeon, Simon Fraser University SPEAKER BIOS Dr. Inger Mewburn, Australian National University Associate Professor Inger Mewburn has specialized in research education since 2oo6, and is currently the Director of Research Training at the Australian National University.

Aside from editing and contributing to the Thesis Whisperer, she writes scholarly papers, books and chapters about research student experiences, with a special interest in the digital practices of academics. Description of Session: The publication process is often challenging for graduate students. Students are sometimes unclear on what the process entails and what is required in order to successfully achieve the publication of a manuscript. Yet, publishing refereed journal articles continues to be essential to success in the academy. The purpose of this session is to clarify components of the publication process. Dr. Pidgeon will review the types of papers that the Canadian Journal of Higher Education (CJHE) and other outlets publish and will also discuss the general submission protocols. Additionally, she will provide some insight into the journal decision-making process, including the role of the peer review process and the editorial board. 3:00-4:00 PM CRAFTING A RESARCH AGENDA –Dr. George Veletsianos, Royal Roads University Cynthia Korpan, University of Victoria Cynthia Korpan is the Professional Development Programs and TA Training Manager at the Learning and Teaching Centre at the University of Victoria.

Updated April 22nd 12 PAPER SESSION: Higher Education Policy LOCATION: Mathematical Sciences, Room 527 PAPER SESSION: Internalization at Institutions LOCATION: Mathematical Sciences, Room 319 CHAIR: CHAIR: Paper 1 718: Achieving Innovation on Campus: Navigating the Collegial and Governance Processes Paper 1 694: Cultivating global mindedness scholars: Reflections on designing and engaging in a collaborative international doctoral research seminar series Author: Vicki Lynn Squires, University of Saskatchewan Author(s): Janet Groen, University of Calgary Jin Xin, Beijing Normal University Karen Dooley, Queesland University of Technology Sylvie Roy, University of Calgary Mary Ryan, Queensland University of Technology Abtract: While universities are encouraged to be innovative, the unique governance structure and collegial processes can inhibit or delay implementation. This qualitative case study examines these processes influenced the development and implementation of an innovative program on one university campus, and outlines the lessons learned in navigating the processes. Abstract: Faculties/Schools of Education at University of Calgary, Beijing Normal University and Queensland University of Technology, as part of their partnership, hold an annual international doctoral research seminar. As faculty members who offered this seminar, at BNU in 2015, we explore processes of engagement in order to cultivate global mindedness. Paper 2 Understanding the Students’ Union: Perspectives on Purpose at a Western Canadian University Author: Josie Steeves, University of Saskatchewan Paper 2 731: Freedom with restrictions? Academic freedom at international branch campuses in China Abstract: Universities are ”miniature political systems” where the students’ union can play a powerful role (Baldridge, 1983; Jones, 1995). This presentation will showcase the final outcomes of my doctoral research, which explored the students’ union’s function at a Western Canadian university using a political cultural theoretical frame (Baldridge, 1983; Tierney, 2008; Yin, 2009). Author: Jing Xiao, University of Saskatchewan Abstract: This paper explores how academic freedom is interpreted at international branch campuses in China and what are the possible policy restrictions. How to deal with these restrictions and maintaining the standard of academic freedom could be an important factor for foreign institutions to consider while collaborating with Chinese universities. Updated April 22nd 13 Paper 3 753: A Study of Internationalized Classrooms From Instructors' Perspectives: Challenges and Needed Supports Paper 2 639: Self-Assessment of Student Services: A Case Study Author: Alexandre Beaupré Lavallee, Université de Montréal Authors: Laura Autumn Servage, University of Alberta Li Mao, University of Alberta Duston Moore, University of Alberta Abstract: This paper aims at two objectives. First, it describes the institutional process through which new concepts were mobilized in order to foster participation to an assessment process. Second, this paper discusses the application of these concepts to management rather than working teams. Abstract: This research investigates the perspectives of undergraduate instructors on the “internationalized classroom.” Instructors may struggle to support international students as full and equal participants in learning. Based on findings from faculty interviews and surveys, we propose instructional and institutional supports needed to fully internationalize classroom experiences. Paper 3 702: Living the Curriculum Review: More than a Report Authors: Jennifer Lock, University of Calgary Laurie Hill, St. Mary's University Patti Dyjur, University of Calgary PAPER SESSION: Researching Practice and Methods LOCATION: Mathematical Sciences, Room 211 CHAIR: Abstract: This symposium examines frameworks, processes, and insights gained from engaging in a curriculum review process for a Bachelor of Education Program.

Paper 1 665: Supporting Instructors Efforts to Assess the Impact of New Course Designs or Re-designs Paper 4 650: Mixed Methods for Higher Education Research: Opportunities and Challenges Authors: Lannie Kanevsky, Simon Fraser University Cheryl Amundsen, Simon Fraser University Author: Erika E. Smith, University of Alberta Abstract: Instructors receiving small grants to research their teaching have strong expertise in disciplinary research methods but often not with methodologies suitable for teaching research. We describe how to design, administer and analyze a post-pre learning survey, one method to assess changes in students’ understandings, attitudes and aspirations. Updated April 22nd Abstract: This presentation examines the opportunities and challenges offered by mixed methods approaches to higher education research. It explores mixed methods research (MMR) as a methodology through a case example of a recent research study in Canadian higher education 14 employing an exploratory MMR design with qualitative and quantitative approaches.

Welcome with CSSHE President Anne Charles and Annual General Meeting LUNCH (Exclusively for CSSHE Registrants) 12:00 PM – 12:45 PM LOCATION: Science Theatres, Room 140 Updated April 22nd 15 Paper 3 764: Nurturing authentic professional identities through transformative higher education SESSION E Sunday, May 29th 2:10 PM – 3:25 PM PAPER SESSION: Higher Education and Engagement LOCATION: Mathematical Sciences, Room 217 CHAIR: Author: Carolin Kreber, University of Edinburgh Abstract: The focus of this conceptual study is civic-mindedness in the professions and how to promote it through university-based professional education. Drawing on literature on social philosophy and higher education, the key theme discussed is the contribution professionals can make to civic life, civil society and greater social justice. Paper 1 675: The Critical-Democratic University Space: Citizenship and Student Engagement Author: Marc Gurrisi, University of Toronto PAPER SESSION: Higher Education Policy LOCATION: Mathematical Sciences, Room 527 CHAIR: Abstract: Based on findings from NSSE and qualitative interviews of undergraduates conducted by the author, this project proposes a relationship between student and civic engagement, which offers alternative, yet concrete, policy implications for Canadian universities to consider and adopt. Paper 1 772: Colleges, Culture and Leadership Paper 2 749: Engaging with tradition? Connecting Universities' Founding Missions to their Current Levels of Engagement with their Local Communities: A Comparative Study of England and Ontario, Canada Author: Lane D. Trotter, Langara College Abstract: The non-university sector (colleges and institutes) was established to support local economic development. Government has been changing the role of these institutions by allowing them to offer degrees. The question this raises is whether these institutions can retain their unique role and culture in the face of academic drift. Author: Emma Sabzalieva, University of Toronto Abstract: This comparative study of England and Ontario contrasts the relative importance of historical context for universities’ current missions using engagement with local communities as the lens for analysis. This offers an important counterweight to the current domination of the study of higher education by global and transnational trends. Updated April 22nd Paper 2 638: Crisis of Identity? New Universities in Canada Author(s): Marie Christine Martin, University of California, Riverside John S. Levin, University of California, Riverside 16 Ariadna Isabel López Damián, University of California, Riverside Tiffany Viggiano, University of California, Riverside Raquel Monique Rall, University of California, Riverside Marie Christine Martin, University of California Riverside Tiffany Viggiano, University of California Riverside Abstract: The authors contrast federal policies and policies in two Abstract: This qualitative inquiry uses institutional theory to examine organizational change at three universities—formerly community colleges—in Canada. Through the analysis of interviews and provincial policy documents we explain tensions between the logic of the community college and the logic of the traditional university and suggest implications for institutional identity. provinces (British Columbia and Alberta) to explain the ways in which post-secondary education policy in Canada is influenced by neoliberal principles. Attention is given to how these principles are applied in the new universities context. Paper 3 643: Higher Education Policy Coordination in Federal Systems: A Comparative Approach to Problems of Governance PAPER SESSION: Intercultural Experiences LOCATION: Mathematical Sciences, Room 319 Author(s): Jens Jungblut, University of Oslo Deanna Rexe, Simon Fraser University Paper 1 720: Witnessing Sustainable Well-being in the Finnish Educational Model: Lived Experience from Two Pre-service Teachers' Studying Abroad Abstract: This contribution focuses on higher education policy coordination in federal countries. Based on concepts of coordination in knowledge policy-making the article uses archival research and data from semi-structured interviews to analyses whether and to what extent higher education policy coordination occurs in two case countries (Canada and Germany). Author(s): Chris L. Yuen, SUNY University at Buffalo Riikka Alanen, University of Jyvaskyla Elizabeth Wright, Daemen College Mark Brown, Daemen College Abstract: This phenomenological study examined how an exchnage to Finland impacted two U.S. based pre-service teachers. From their observations, the study reveals that the Finnish educational model values sustainable well-being by engendering learner's identity, cultivating collaboration among teachers, and respecting a space in teaching to promote generativity. Paper 4 637: The Logics of Business and the Logics of Post-Secondary Education: Neoliberal Policies in Canadian National and Provincial Policy Author(s): Ariadna Isabel López Damián, University of California, Riverside Raquel Monique Rall,University of California, Riverside John S. Levin, University of California, Riverside Updated April 22nd 17 Abstract: “Co-curricular records” are increasingly offered by Canadian universities. The certification of co-curricular activities via formal records marks an emerging form of credentialism. Drawing on “forms of capital” proposed by Pierre Bourdieu, this work argues that CCRs, are likely to deepen inequities within an already stratified system of undergraduate education.

INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM LOCATION: Mathematical Sciences, Room 319 725: Negotiating the Imperialistic Tendencies of Internationalization: Initiating Dialogues between Canadian and Brazilian Higher Education Updated April 22nd Moderator: Vanessa Andreotti, University of British Columbia Panelists: Sharon Stein, University of British Columbia Simone Sarmento, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil) Elisa S. Thiago, CAPES (Brazilian Agency for Higher Education) 24 SESSION I Monday May 30th 9:55 AM – 11:10 AM LOCATION: Energy Environment Experiential Learning (EEEL), Room 210 Associate Professor Inger Mewburn has specialised in research education since 2oo6. She is currently the Director of Research Training at the Australian National University where she is responsible for co-ordinating, communicating and measuring all the centrally run research training activities and doing research on student experience to inform practice. Aside from editing and contributing to the Thesis Whisperer, she writes scholarly papers, books and book chapters about research student experiences, with a special interest in the digital practices of academics. PLENARY SESSION: Inger Mewburn (Australian National University) Using Machine Learning to Predict the Future Research Workforce In many countries it is now more common for PhD graduates to leave academia than to stay on and become the next generation of lecturers. We know very little about these career destinations as data is scarce. One report from the Royal Society in the UK showed that more than half of all PhD science graduates in the UK leave straight after their PhD and the exodous continues through the post doc years until only 3.5% remain. Based on academic workplace trends in countries like the UK, USA, Australia and Canada, the number of humanities graduates seeking work outside academia may be much higher. What sort of jobs can these PhD graduates do and how might might they affect future workplaces and the communities that they serve? Inger will report on a project to teach machines to read job advertisements to gauge the demand for high level knowledge workers. This work will enable us to think about what skills and attributes graduates need to prepare themselves for life outside academia, but it also has implications for employers and communities. Economies all over the world are in a state of transition. We are all living on what Giddens called the 'wild technolgical frontier' which none of us really understand. The research skills of graduates are desperately needed to deal with the complexity of places like contemporary cities and the health of natural eco-systems. Inger will reflect on the impacts of these changes on governments, policy makers, universities and research candidates themselves. Updated April 22nd 25 758: Employees, Students, or Both? The Precarious Ethical Positions of Graduate Research Assistants SESSION J Monday, May 30th 11:20 AM – 12:15 PM LOCATION: Energy Environment Experiential Learning (EEEL), Room 210 Author: Michelle K. McGinn, Brock University Abstract: Graduate students often engage as research assistants.

Author: Deanna Rexe, Simon Fraser University Abstract: The session will present approaches and pitfalls in policy research fieldwork and a set of principles for conducting elite interviews. 757: No Longer a "Consolation Prize": Embracing Alternative Academic (Alt-Ac) Opportunities 765: Poetic forms in universities as research therapy Author: Jacqueline L. Beres, Brock University Abstract: Many recent graduates are pursuing alternative academic (altac) careers. Unfortunately, doctoral student socialization may not prepare students for careers outside of traditional faculty positions. Individual doctoral supervisors, and higher education as a whole, must reconsider doctoral student socialization processes to prepare students for a wide variety of careers post-graduation. Updated April 22nd Author: Yolanda Palmer-Clarke, University of Saskatchewan Abstract: This ignite presentation explores the use of poetic forms in universities as research therapy. Through shared self-authored poems the author hopes to highlight and explore the therapeutic benefits of poetry.

The Learn to Learn Online (LTLO) MOOC, a five week course delivered in the Canvas platform, was delivered to 1825 participants in early 2015. SESSION O Tuesday, May 31st 12:45 PM – 2:00 PM PAPER SESSION: Digital and Social Media LOCATION: Mathematical Sciences, Room 217 CHAIR: Paper 3 773: Large Classes: Moving beyond the Barriers to Quality Learning and the Role of Digital Media Paper 1 692: Successful, Sunny, and Smiling: The Misleading Ways that Student Life and Faculty are Represented through Canadian University Twitter Accounts Author: Heather Kanuka, University of Alberta Author(s): George Veletsianos, Royal Roads University Royce Kimmons, Brigham Young University Ashley Shaw, University of British Columbia Abstract: As funding by governments continues to decrease, alongside imposed tuition increase restrictions, large(r) enrolment courses will continue to characterize undergraduate programs in most Canadian universities. There is a need to gain a better understanding of a quality education that facilitates engaged learning, and is scalable for high enrolment courses. Abstract: Canadian institutions of higher education use Twitter universally. Yet, little research examines the narratives around college life constructed in their tweets. In this research, we used data mining and thematic analysis methods to examine this issue. Findings suggest institutions construct overwhelmingly positive representations that are incomplete and misleading. Paper 4 645: Social Media Technologies in Undergraduate Learning: Are Students in the Health Sciences Unique? Author: Erika E Smith, University of Alberta Paper 2 733: Learning to Learn Online: Experiences of Novice Learners in a High Quality MOOC Abstract: This mixed methods study investigates social media technologies (SMTs) in a Canadian undergraduate context, addressing the following question: regarding undergraduate perceptions and uses of SMTs in learning, are there disciplinary differences? Findings illustrate why and how there are differences between the health sciences and other disciplines for specific SMTs. Author(s): Nathaniel Ostashewski, Athabasca University Marti Cleveland-Innes, Athabasca University Nancy Parker, Athabasca University Updated April 22nd 36 PAPER SESSION: Leadership LOCATION: Mathematical Sciences, Room 527 CHAIR: Paper 3 735: Hiring Practices of Sessional Faculty in Canadian Universities Paper 1 738: Improving Leadership Education Author(s): Cynthia Field, University of Toronto Author(s): Kanina Blanchard, Western University Abstract: Non-tenure-track faculty fall outside of the scope of most large-scale studies of faculty life in Canada. This study provides qualitative data regarding the hiring practices of Sessional, non-tenure track and nonpermanent instructors in Canadian universities. Abstract: With new and updated leadership courses being launched in Canadian institutions to address the leadership crisis, the concern remains that entrenched preferences and practices that privilege the masculine stereotype of leadership will continue to hasten progress toward the changes being called for. Paper 4 747: What Role Do Faculty Subcultures Play in Shaping Campus Culture and Student Success? Author(s): Christine Helen Arnold, University of Toronto Kathleen A. Moore, University of Toronto Tricia Seifert, Montana State University Paper 2 679: Journey Into Academic University Administration Author(s): Laurie-ann M Hellsten, University of Saskatchewan Lemisko Lynn, University of Saskatchewan Abstract: Using a Canadian multi-institutional sample, we examine the extent to which differences exist between faculty by academic rank with regards to perceptions of departmental and institutional undergraduate student retention efforts. Overall, the data reveal the various roles faculty subcultures may play in shaping campus culture and student success. Abstract: There is little research on female academics who acquire leadership positions. Using modified duoethnography, we explored our journeys as post-tenure females in university faculty administrative positions. In addition to the historical and institutional context, our dialogic exchange included the challenges and benefits resulting from these administrative roles. Updated April 22nd 37 AWARDEE PRESENTATIONS LOCATION: Mathematical Sciences, Room 319 CHAIR: PRESIDENTIAL HIGHLIGHTED SESSION LOCATION: Mathematical Sciences, Room 211 HEQCO: DRIVING FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE IN POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION Research Award Doctoral Award Presenter: Richard Wiggers, HEQCO Sheffield Award Abstract: Updated April 22nd 38 Paper 2 666: Faculty Perspectives on Teaching with New Technology SESSION P Tuesday, May 31st 2:10 PM – 3:25 PM Author(s): Martha Cleveland-Innes, Athabasca University PAPER SESSION: LOCATION: Mathematical Sciences, Room 217 Paper 1 664: Enhancing Student Engagement in an Online Doctoral Research Methods Course: An Applied Ethnographic Study Abstract: Online and blended teaching and learning requires teaching expertise and time commitments that may not fit into the current role of faculty. Data from 75 faculty from 15 institutions provide evidence of changing faculty activities in reference to teaching, whether they are engaged in online teaching or not. Author(s): Gale Parchoma, University of Calgary Marlon Simmons, University of Calgary Michele Jacobson, University of Calgary Dorothea Nelson, University of Calgary Shaily Bhola, University of Calgary Paper 3 696: From Concept to Implementation: Tracing Meaning in a Blended Learning Development Project CHAIR: Author(s): Wendy Freeman, Ryerson University Monica Batac, Ryerson University Abstract: This presentation outlines preliminary outcomes of a study of purposeful sequencing of voice-based, less formal learning activities and text-based, more formal learning activities in an online graduate research course. The research design, data collection and analysis procedures and preliminary findings will be discussed. Recommendations for practice will be shared. Abstract: We present preliminary findings from a study following faculty members from conceptualization to implementation of blended learning course content. Using the domestication framework allowed us to trace changes in socio-material meaning over time, providing insight into the mutual shaping of technology and teaching that occurs in development projects. Updated April 22nd 39 PAPER SESSION: Faculty Development LOCATION: Mathematical Sciences, Room 527 CHAIR: Paper 1 704: Shaping the Consciousness of the Professoriate Paper 3 708: Identifying Issues on the Journey to Tenure Author(s): Rahul Kumar, Brock University Coral Mitchell, Brock University Author(s): Victoria Handford, Thompson Rivers University Timothy Sibbald, Nipissing University Abstract: The unmuzzling of scientists, as announced by the new federal government, is an important symbolic gesture. However, it is unlikely to achieve the kind of critical engagement of faculty members because of the altered professorial identity that is being shaped by new managerial techniques currently operating within universities. Abstract: This paper identifies several common issues tenure-track professors encounter at early, middle and late stages of the journey. Some recommendations for supporting individuals to make the adjustment to tenure-track and gain effectiveness in their new roles are provided. Paper 4 732: Mid-term Teaching Assessment : An Input to Change Governance? Paper 2 739: Begin at the Beginning: Long-term Faculty Development Author(s): Alain Huot, Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières Author(s): Cynthia Korpan, University of Victoria Abstract : Abstract: When should an individual intent on pursuing a faculty career undertake professional development to teach in higher education? Does it matter? Results from my doctoral research show that it does matter; an individual's disposition determines how he or she approaches teaching. Universities have established mechanisms that collect data on teaching feedback during the semester. Studies have explored usefulness of this feedback by looking at the perspective of teachers or students, but how the results from these assessments are used by managers in a decision-making process? Preliminary results will be presented. Updated April 22nd 40 PAPER SESSION : Instituting Internationalization Abstract: Education aimed at building intercultural competency LOCATION: Mathematical Sciences, Room 319 CHAIR: competences and social, civic, and global citizens draws on empathy to encourage learners to consider, understand, and appreciate the perspectives of others. This paper examines how empathy is defined, used, and evaluated in a post-secondary teaching and learning environment. Paper 1 703: The Ethics of Internationalization in Canada and Beyond: Empirical Findings and Conceptual Insights PAPER SESSION: Advising and Student Affairs LOCATION: Mathematical Sciences, Room 211 CHAIR: Author(s): Sharon Stein, University of British Columbia Vanessa Andreotti, University of British Columbia Abstract: In this paper we share findings from a large multi-national research project about the ethics of internationalization. We address the empirical results related to Canadian institutions, and present the project’s conceptual framework as one example of an effort to agonistically pluralize conversations about possible futures for higher education. Paper 1 682: Academic Advising in the Canadian Context Author: Linda Pardy, University of the Fraser Valley Abstract: This paper examines the current discourse, emerging trends, and pressure points in British Columbia (BC) post-secondary academic advising. It attempts to open dialogue designed to define advising and provides an opportunity for advisors to provide insight. While in a BC context, this project contributes to the Canadian advising discourse. Paper 2 640: Building a Norm of Internationalization: The Case of Estonia's Higher Education System Paper 2 669: Just don't do it: Recognizing the differences between American and Canadian Student Affairs and Services Author: Merli Tamtik, York University Abstract: This study demonstrates that internationalization of higher education can be regarded as a norm-building process facilitated through the active behavior of institutional agents. Through empirical study, the paper identifies how local norm-advocates (universities, politicians, government stakeholders) play a crucial role in establishing internationalization practices in Estonia’s higher education system. Author(s): Shermin Murji, Florida State University Abstract: Why do we, as Canadians, compare ourselves to the U.S.? This happens frequently, and in the case of Student Affairs, inappropriately. This paper argues that our inclination to model our philosophy, programs, and systems after the Americans should be discouraged and challenges Canadian practitioners and leaders to take action Paper 3 714: Cognitive Empathy: Defining its Role in Social Justice, Intercultural, and Peace Education END OF CONFERENCE Tuesday, May 31st 3:30 PM Author: Brett Pardy, Simon Fraser University Updated April 22nd 41 Research and Scholarship Award 2015 Creso Sa (University of Toronto) 2014-2010 Not Awarded 2009 Lesley Andres (University of British Columbia) 2008/07 Not Awarded 2006 Lynn McAlpine (McGill University) 2005 Not Awarded 2004 D.
