Graduate Student Workshops & Resources
Digital Research Infrastructure (DRI) Workshop for Graduate Scholars
Dates & Times:
Tuesday, December 3, 2024, at 2:00 PM
Tuesday, December 10, 2024, at 10:00 AM
Location: Andy’s Place (AH100)
To bridge the gap of unequal access to research data among equity-seeking groups such as women, persons of racialized groups, and people of color in the academic environment, the Digital Research Alliance Champions, who are Ph.D. students of the University of Lethbridge, are embarking on a project funded by the Digital Research Alliance of Canada. The project aims to organize training sessions to increase awareness and uptake of DRI resources among graduate students who identify as one or all of these: i) women (of any color), ii) persons of racialized groups, and iii) people of color at the University of Lethbridge.
If you are a graduate student who identifies as one or all of these: i) a woman (of any color), ii) a person of a racialized group, and iii) a person of color, you are being asked to participate in this workshop. It aims to equip and support you with digital research resources tailored to enhance your skills, amplify your work, and impact the academic community and beyond.
Your participation in the survey and training is entirely voluntary. We will ask you a few questions on the pre-training survey questionnaire to identify your training needs and your email address to give you more information about the workshop. You do not have to answer any questions you are uncomfortable with. The information you supply in the pre-training survey will be kept confidential. Responses to this questionnaire are stored anonymously; numerical data will be averaged and reported in aggregate and reported anonymously with no link being traced to you.
If you have any questions about the survey, please email toyin.aladejebi@uleth.ca. If you have any questions about the training, please email the Digital Research Alliance Champions at cj.alumona@uleth.ca, frank.onuh@uleth.ca, and toyin.aladejebi@uleth.ca.
