Faculty Micro-lectures and Publication Celebration

Each year the Research Office invite 20 or more faculty researchers to be a part of the UFV Micro-Lecture series. Our goal is to provide “snapshots” of our faculty research, as well as highlight the interdisciplinary nature of our work. This engaging, fast-paced event also helps to interest students in research and expose faculty to research other than their own.

Check out the 2019 micro-lectures and photos!

What it looks like:

Researchers take the stage one after the other for a maximum of two minutes to speak about the exciting findings and implications of their research. The event generally lasts about an hour. Discussion and networking are encouraged afterwards (e.g., if someone is inspired, they can approach faculty afterwards for further discussion).

Following the event, there is an informal reception to showcase faculty accomplishments in publications.

Publication Celebration

What to submit:

• A copy of your published piece for display at the event (peer-reviewed journal article, authored or co-authored book or book chapter, edited or co-edited book, video, etc.).  New submissions from 2017-2019 will be accepted.  For online articles, please print a hard copy for display.  Submissions will be returned after the event.  Please include all the information needed for a citation in a bibliography (author(s), title, journal title, publisher, city, volume, date, URL, etc.)

AND

• A PowerPoint slide that captures something about your publication. Include your name, department, your photo, and title of the publication.  Include an image related to your publication (e.g., book cover, photo of you on location, etc.).  These can be similar to the ones faculty did for the last publication celebration found at Publication Slide. The purpose of the slide is to generate discussions and connections.   Be creative!  There is a prize draw for participants and the slides will be posted on the web.

During the Fall and Winter semesters, faculty gather monthly to discuss their current scholarly work. The goal is to encourange partnerships and identify interdisciplinary opportunities. Events are sponsored with generous support by the UFV Research Office and the UFV College of Arts.

For more information about these events please contact Melissa.Walter@ufv.ca or Alex.Wetmore@ufv.ca.
