National Postdoc Appreciation Week: Collage Conversations – Discussing Research Through Art

  • Want to create duck sculptures using nothing but pipe cleaners, ensuring structural integrity, balance and design optimization? Or create artistic collages to showcase your research?
  • Curious about the research and projects your fellow postdoc peers are working on?

Celebrating National Postdoc Appreciation Week, the Office of the Vice Dean of Graduate Studies invites U of T Engineering postdocs for an afternoon of pizza, conversation, and collage-making to ‘design your research.’ No materials or previous experience are needed!

After the the session you will be able to:

  • Develop confidence in presenting research ideas through non-traditional mediums (e.g., a collage) to expand the toolkit of communication strategies when engaging with various audiences.
  • Engage in self-reflection and peer feedback to assess the effectiveness of collage-based communication efforts, developing an appreciation for the importance of continuous learning and receiving feedback within research communications.
  • Learn and discover resources available to postdoctoral fellows from SGS and VDG to expand your knowledge of resources and programs available to U of T Engineering postdoctoral fellows.
