Postcards from Congress – Day 7

Posted on June 4, 2011 (November 23, 2021)

Congress by the Numbers As I was reminded while attending Tuesday’s Aboriginal Leaders in Education session, it is appropriate to give thanks to the Maliseet people. It is their traditional lands we had the pleasure of visiting over the last week. This is a beautiful part of the country! Since today is the last final […]

Post Cards From Congress – Day 6

Posted on June 3, 2011 (November 23, 2021)

There are not many people who do not like music. Music has an ability to entertain, inspire and relax people. Similarly, so has Congress this year in Fredericton. So in honour of my 13.5 hour car ride I am pleased to share with you these tunes from my iPod – a real compilation of Congress […]

Post Cards from Congress – Day 5

Posted on June 2, 2011 (November 23, 2021)

The trick to an eight day conference is likely similar to a 14 day inclusive vacation… pace yourself! Today is Day 5, and don’t ask me what day of the week it is! Fact is, these are the dog days of Congress. This is not to be disrespectful, for new delegates arrive every day and […]

Posted on May 30, 2011 (November 23, 2021)

Day 3 was a slow start but one that ended up with real and intellectual sunshine. The morning was slow because all the delegates were busy at association meetings. The book fair was quiet and resembled a “Where’s Waldo” game from the late 1980s. Finding the ResearchImpact-RéseauImpactRecherche (RIR) booth and neighbouring SSHRC booth is much […]

Day 2 started out foggy and damp but the research was shining at the Canadian Society for the Study of Education.

post cards from congress – day 1

Posted on May 28, 2011 (November 23, 2021)

Some turbulent rivers start as gentle springs, trickling as they grow into a torrent. Congress on Day 1 is like that gentle spring, moving, with potential. It’s quiet at the ResearchImpact-RéseauImpactRecherche booth but despite that the RIR booth has had a gentle trickle of energizing conversations. The BIG THINKING lecture by Kwame Anthony Appiah discussed […]

Posted on May 27, 2011 (November 23, 2021)

One by car and the other by air. Anyway that gets us from Toronto to Fredericton is a good way to go. Coming on the heals of CAURA, CUExpo and CAHSPR, ResearchImpact-RéseauImpactRecherche is happy to be ending our Spring Roadshow with the Congress of the Social Sciences and Humanities. We have presented to health practitioners, […]
