September 25th, 2024, 4-5pm in the Data Visualization Lab of the Harriet Irving Library Research Commons

Featuring Dr. Matt McGuire, Faculty of Education: The Ten things every graduate student needs to know

And Marc Bragdon, Head of the Research Commons, discussing Knowledge mobilization with video making and podcasting.

Dr. Matt McGuire is a recent PhD graduate who is now the McKenna Fellow in Digital Education and an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Education. He will present his Top 10 list of valuable lessons learned during his time as a doctoral student at UNB. Drawing from his own personal experiences and reflective insights, McGuire offers practical tips, tools, and strategies to help prospective and current graduate students navigate their own academic paths. He shares some of the peaks and valleys of his own journey from teacher practitioner to intellectual researcher, reflecting on the paradoxical duelling duet of dichotomy and marriage that defines the graduate student experience.

Marc Bragdon is Head of the Harriet Irving Library Research Commons with responsibilities for supporting digital and maker pedagogies.  His research interests include the intersection of intercultural communication theory and online learning support, maker pedagogies in undergraduate instruction, and the knowledge mobilization of graduate and faculty research.
