UBC Conferences

This annual event is scheduled for the Monday afternoon of the first week of September. The event includes faculty and student presentations and an informal research forum with poster presentations by the currently enrolled MD/PhD students. It is intended to showcase the research by our students, and to recruit new students and interested faculty into our Program. It is a very informal arrangement, mainly giving an opportunity for students and prospective applicants to ask questions about the clinician-scientist career path. All are welcome!

This conference was organized by Women’s Studies at UBC. Undergraduates from various departments in the colleges and universities in British Columbia and beyond submitted proposals and presented their interesting interpretations of the Consuming Women theme in various formats including papers, posters, films, performances, artwork, and workshops. The large undergraduate turnout demonstrated their commitment to a number of important issues ranging from critiques of the beauty industry, to the affects of globalization and colonialism, the silencing that occurs due to discourses around race and sexuality, and the violence perpetrated on sex trade workers.
