The 2024 Grad Studies X Research Ethics Intensive is a pilot program for First Year Master’s students. Part One (Feb 20-24) will provide students with the resources needed to prepare for research and creative thesis projects that involve people as participants.

Registration will provide students with the link to the online workshops, as well as invitations to the online course site. All of the resources will be available (asynchronously) on the course website (moodle) at the start of the workshops. Students are invited to join in-person (snacks and handouts provided) or online each day for a 20-minute presentation followed by a workshop and discussion based on a case study. Students are invited to bring questions and ideas for feedback based on their proposed thesis projects.

In-person - Room C3255 (snacks and handouts provided).

On-line - A zoom link to use for the entire series will be sent to all registrants.
