Please join Faculty of Education’s PhD and Masters students as they present their work. The seminar will start with a Ph.D Panel: “Issues of identity in Educational Research: Bridging theory and practice” with Verne Lorway presenting “Musical ruling relations and youth cultural identity in reflexive educational research” and Bonnie Stewart presenting “Social Media Identity: Practices, Platforms, and Performativity.” MED student Joanne MacNevin will present her research on "‘Feeling our way in the dark’: Educational Directions for Students from Refugee Backgrounds.”

Dr. Janet Ferguson will present “Understanding Teacher Identity Development Through Narrative Inquiry.” Narrative inquiry can expose the struggle created by competing forces that come to bear on all of us as teachers and thus create spaces for renewed compassion and appreciation for pre-service teachers but also for each other as teacher educators.

Dr. Laura Mae Lindo will present “Challenge, Change, and Sensibilities: Learning from the ‘Race Comic.’” Research focus: Re-envisioning anti-racist interventions in pre-service classrooms and beyond.

SPEAKER: Rebecca Pike, Biomedical Sciences TITLE: Exploring Eunicea fusca associated bacteria for the production of marine natural products.

UPEI and CPA PEI would like you to participate in this year’s Canadian Paraplegic Association’s "Wheel & Win" fundraising event taking place on Thursday, October 20th, 2011 at 4:00pm at the UPEI Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre. This is a disability awareness, team relay, pledge sheet fundraising event. Bring your team on event day and compete in the exciting wheelchair challenge. Teams of five have fun and race against the clock and each other through an obstacle course using a wheelchair. One hundred percent of the money raised through this event remains in PEI and is used to assist people with spinal cord injuries and other mobility disabilities to purchase equipment that has no other funding source. This helps relieve some of the financial burden associated with disabilities which assists people to remain independent in their community. Thank you for your consideration and please contact Evan or Paul at 902.370.9523 or emackinnon@cpapei.org for more details., pcudmore@cpapei.org
