Professional Development Services

We offer what we refer to in the ORS as “PD” hours. Dozens of faculty in the past year have availed themselves of this service. What professional development does for you is to help you get your writing/academic planning/publishing back on track (if you’re off track) or improved (if you’re on track but feeling overwhelmed). Taking into account all of your academic and personal responsibilities as well as your energy levels, health and well-being, PD hours are a great way to avail yourself of all the ORS has to offer you as a researcher. One hour at a time, we can help you make a difference in your writing/publishing career. Contact Danielle Connell (dconnell@stu.ca) today to get started, and to make your first appointment. Your promotion/book/article deserves this specialized attention!

Congratulations!

Dr. Lynne Gouliquer has been awarded STU and New Brunswick’s first Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship from SSHRC. This 2-year award is valued at $140,000 and places emphasis on both her individual merit and her potential to launch a successful research-intensive career.

Dr. Clive Baldwin has recently been awarded a $9,800 grant from MindCare New Brunswick. This grant is intended to support research on mental health issues in the province of New Brunswick. Relevant topics include research concerning the prevention of mental illness, early detection of mental health difficulties, assessment/diagnosis, and treatment.

**********

Dr. Grant Williams, co-investigator with his colleague Dr. John Clement from the University of Massachusetts Amherst has just received word from the National Science Foundation that Dr. Clement’s application for DRK12 funding has been approved in the amount of approx. $300,000. Subsequently, the sub-contract that Dr. Williams applied for in the amount $25,492 to conduct related research here at STU has been approved as a part of this larger grant. The Discovery Research K-12 program (DRK-12) seeks to significantly enhance the learning and teaching of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) by preK-12 students, teachers, administrators and parents. All DRK-12 projects should be framed around a research question or hypothesis that addresses an important need or topic in preK-12 STEM education. The emphasis in DRK-12 is on research projects that study the development, testing, deployment, effectiveness, and/or scale-up of innovative resources, models and tools. DRK-12 invites proposals that address immediate challenges that are facing preK-12 STEM education as well as those that anticipate a radically different structure and function of pre-K 12 teaching and learning. DRK-12 especially encourages proposals that challenge existing assumptions about learning and teaching within or across STEM fields, envision the future needs of learners, and consider new and innovative ways to support student and teacher learning.

General Information CIHR Soliciting Testers for the Canadian Directory of Researchers This is service that CIHR has developed to locate researchers by expertize area, location, etc.. Researchers using the CCV can consent to participate in this publically accessible directory and it is using data extracted from the CCV. CIHR anticipates it will be used by: • Researchers looking for collaborators • Students looking for supervisors • Journalists looking for SME • Funding Organizations looking for peer reviewers, focus group participants, media experts Contact: Kristina Casey Director, Strategic Services and Canadian Common CV, CIHR Article from the Research Universities Futures Consortium:

What is the Current Health and Future Well-Being of the American Research University? Developing and managing a research portfolio is not easy. There are many points of failure and the benefits are often not immediately obvious. The research grants and contracts landscape is competitive and globalized and the competition is only likely to intensify as a result of the current U.S. financial budget situation. In recent years, research has become more international and more interdisciplinary, making the management of research funding an increasingly complex task. On a broader level, universities are heavily regulated and scrutinized by governments and other sponsors who seek transparency and value for their investment. Read more…..

New version of the Canadian Common CV now available The new Canadian Common CV (CCV) application is now available.

CCV Data Migration: The majority of data (approximately 90%) has been migrated from the old to the new CCV. You are advised to inspect each section and field of your CV to make sure that your data was properly migrated. Any missing or wrongly formatted data will have to be corrected. Contributions can no longer be attached as a file to the CCV and will have to be entered as structured data. Please allow for some time to capture this information. You will be able to connect to the new CCV using the same username and password as the previous version. However, when you connect to the new CCV for the first time, you will be asked to capture reminder questions and answers before you can access your CV data.

The Marshall Lecture in Public Philosophy: The Dilemmas of Protecting Religious Freedom Today By Dr. Avigail Eisenberg, Department of Political Science, University of Victoria Scotiabank Theatre Auditorium - Saint Mary’s University September 27, 2012 When it comes to cases about polygamy, children wearing kirpans to school, or crosses on the walls of public buildings, how do our public institutions distinguish between authentic and inauthentic religious practices and how should they? Dr. Eisenberg explores how courts and legislatures make this distinction today and the risks and dilemmas they face in doing so. She offers an approach, grounded in respect for religious identity, which considers the individual and collective dimensions of religious freedom, while responding to some of the risks of this type of decision making. Dr. Eisenberg draws on recent court cases to illustrate her approach to protecting religious identity.

SPIN‐OFF AND STARTUPS: INNOVATION PARTNERSHIPS BETWEEN UNIVERSITIES, RESEARCHERS, INSTITUTIONS AND INDUSTRY CARLETON UNIVERSITY OCTOBER 2, 2012 International Round Table The session will seek to create a turning point of economic innovation through creation of a competitive and collaborative model among institutions, researchers, universities and venture capitalists. This Round Table will feature the participation of dozens of the top innovation leaders from Italy and Canada in the private sector, universities and government. International collaboration is fundamental in order to leverage existing resources and energies, and to share knowledge and experiences toward a single objective which would be difficult for an individual company or researcher to achieve in isolation. The Round Table will provide the chance for all participants to meet and explore ways to create new innovation strategies, accelerate research collaborations and look for new funding sources through international partnerships.

Foreign Language Film Conference V: Rights and Representations University of Alabama at Birmingham November 1-4, 2012 The theme of this fifth edition of Foreign Language Film Conference Rights and Representations is not in the vein of Said's "Orientalism." The theme of the conference wants to express the representations of rights within. The fight between the Irish and the English, the Palestinian and the Israeli, the French and the Algerian, are the struggle of two nationalisms. Whereas the conference is interested in the fight within the same country, where two groups share the same culture, the same constitution, the same language, in short where the opponent is not an "other" but the "same," similar to what happened in the USA in the 60s with the struggle for Civil Rights, in Western Europe in the 80s (Red Brigades, etc.), or in South America around the same time, or the massacres perpetuated by the Khmers Rouges in Cambodia in the 70s, or the quasi civil war in Algeria between the army and the FIS in the 90s, or the recent spring time of the peoples. In essence this struggle goes beyond the protection of the voice of minority dear to a Western legal tradition; it goes to the core of the democracies. Contact: Serge Bokobza or Rosemary Peters
