The LLED GPAs are excited to announce the last instalment of our 2017/2018 Apprenticeship Workshop Series: “Parenthood and the PhD!”. While the event is an LLED initiative, all Faculty of Education grad students are invited to attend.
Date: Wednesday, April 25, 2018
Time: 2:30pm – 4:00pm
Location: Ponderosa Commons Oak House, Room 1001
The format of the workshop will be a facilitated roundtable discussion where current and potential parents chat about parenting during a PhD (or Master’s program!). Five individuals who are a) currently PhD students in LLED or b) who have graduated the doctoral program at LLED, will be taking a leadership role in the conversation.
The conversation will be organized into 3 primary section:
1) Preparing for Parenthood:
2) The First Year;
3) Parenting while PhDing:
The purpose of the workshop is to focus on both informative personal insights about parenting during grad school, as well experiences accessing the institutional resources/supports that are (or a not) in place at UBC. This is not a “information session”, but rather experience-based sharing.
The workshop is also being held in partnership with Graduate and Post-Doctoral Studies (G+PS). G+PS is currently doing work on this topic, and it is hoped that this workshop can help inform some of their initiatives.
If interested, please RSVP at: https://goo.gl/forms/eTlCx9X3B7sbZVXv2 by April 20th. Any questions can be directed to Kaye Hare at lled.gpa@gmail.com.
