September: Finding UVIC Researchers




What kinds of research are your colleagues doing here at UVIC? The primary resource that summarizes this best is probably this site within the Department’s own website. It can be located here:

There is another site as well:

In our conversation you mentioned that you wanted to contact the researchers which I think is a fantastic plan. I might also recommend including your graduate students as well. Many of these students might be considering a career in both research and education and might be interested in volunteering or assisting the Department in its educational outreach efforts as funding for this program winds down. I would also guess that some of these students can help you with your interviews and or crafting the curriculum for schools as well. Either way, your department represents the rich diversity of people and topics that will make for an exciting educational program. I believe you mentioned this to me earlier but I can’t exactly remember. Having a few professors scheduled in advance (I recommend 3 to 4 months) will give us more time to think about the themes and topics the Department might want to consider when creating a curriculum that compliments it’s faculty.
