Applied Academia
28th February 2013 at 2pm
We want to hear about YOUR research!
Do academics have a responsibility to apply their research, take part in community outreach projects, or extend the impact of their work beyond ‘pure research’? Is it even possible to conduct pure research, or will all research eventually be applied? Are application, activism or knowledge translation essential parts of being an academic, or a hindrance to scholars’ ability to fully and fairly consider multiple perspectives? Present your applied (or unapplied) research or your thoughts on these or related questions at the February 28th FIRE Talk!
Submit your proposals for a 5 minute presentation by the 20th of February 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.
Light SNACKS will be provided!!!
