Graduate Student Conference Schedule – May 28th
Description of Session: Are you a graduate student intent on pursuing
an academic career? 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

676: Breaking new ground in criminal justice: Community
service learning, community engagement, and student success in
the field school to Rankin Inlet, Nunavut.
Author: D. Scharie Tavcer, Mount Royal University
Abstract: This descriptive study examines the low-income, mature, postsecondary student population in Canada. Using Labour Force Survey data
(Statistics Canada), this unique population is profiled by examining various
individual, family and institutional characteristics; comparing enrolment on
the basis of institution type (college/university) and gender; and examining
provincial differences in enrolment.
Abstract : The CRJS field school to Rankin Inlet Nunavut was the first of
its kind for the Criminal Justice Degree Program at Mount Royal
University (MRU) and arguably the first of its kind within any criminal
justice degree program in Canada.

745: Conceptualizing Employability for PhD Graduates: An
Understanding of Academic Mobility and Cultural Capital
within the Discipline of Higher Education
Author: Cheryl Lynne Jeffs, University of Calgary
Abstract: Formative feedback is one means for teaching and learning
development. Much research focuses on how teachers give feedback to
students to enhance learning, not how teachers receive feedback to
improve teaching. This session will explore a formative feedback
framework and strategies for teachers in higher education to enhance their
practice.
Authors:
Kevin Graham, University of Rochester

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.

Abstract: This paper explores how department chairs in institutes for postsecondary PVE conceptualize and enact their role as leaders of teaching
excellence. The results of this study reveal how leadership by department
chairs is 1) constrained by institutional structures, and 2) deeply connected
to the trade/profession taught in the program.
Abstract: We investigated the factors influencing student success in
graduate education using data from a Canada-wide survey of graduate
students with disabilities, and identified principles for consideration when

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.

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.

encounter at early, middle and late stages of the journey. Some
recommendations for supporting individuals to make the adjustment to

When should an individual intent on pursuing a faculty career undertake

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.
