Research Dissemination

27th March 2013 at 4:30pm


How do you share YOUR RESEARCH with others?


So, you’ve written the best paper, thesis or dissertation ever – what’s next? How can and should academics and grad students disseminate their work? How do we ‘translate’ academic knowledge to the broader public? What are the benefits, hazards and risks of disseminating controversial work? How important should ‘academic status’ be in determining effective ways to disseminate our research? Should all journals be ‘open-access’? Should UBC require grad students to submit their research into an open-access repository? Join us for the last FIRE Talk of the semester on the 27th of March!


Submit your proposals for a 5 minute presentation by the 14th of March 2013. To submit your abstract, click here.


Interested in the topic but don't want to present? Attend the FIRE Talk as an audience member and join the discussion after the presentations! To attend without presenting, register here.
