The Education Graduate Students' Association (EdGSA) and the Office of the Associate Dean of Graduate Research at the University of Manitoba invites proposals for the 27th annual Education Graduate Students’ Research Conference. The conference aims to promote education graduate students' research and scholarly activities, allowing them to present and discuss their work in a supportive, academic forum.
Current and recent graduate students from education-related programs are invited to submit proposals that encompass a wide spectrum of educational research and scholarship. We support a diverse range of work spanning various worldviews, ways of knowing, and research methods. This includes but is not limited to Indigenous knowledge systems, community-based research, arts-based research, participatory research, and other robust forms of scholarship that characterize our educational communities.
What is the theme?
This year’s theme is “Brave Spaces, Bold Ideas: Reimagining Education Through Graduate Research”.
27th Annual Education Graduate Students’ Research Conference
We invite submissions that embody bold, imaginative, and courageous approaches to rethinking education. In the spirit of brave spaces and bold ideas, we encourage graduate researchers to explore transformative trends, pressing challenges, and emerging opportunities in the field. Submissions should envision new possibilities for teaching, learning, research, and theory while challenging the status quo and reimagining the future of education.
When and where will the conference be held?
The 2026 Conference is scheduled for Thursday, April 30th to Saturday, May 2nd with a post-conference gala planned for Saturday, May 2nd. The conference will be held in person at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Manitoba. However, we understand that cost and accessibility is a factor for some people, as well as environmental and other concerns regarding travel. If you require an online option, please contact us, and we will work to accommodate your needs.
Who may apply?
The Conference is open to all students currently enrolled in a Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Education (PBDE) program, Master’s or Doctoral program, as well as individuals who have exited a graduate program in the past calendar year (2025), including those who graduated and those who did not complete their degree program.

Library 2025 Campus Graduate Student Workshops
EndNote
Will you be working on a thesis or writing up a lot of research papers? Is it challenging to keep your research citation data and PDFs organized and easily accessible? If you’re not already using a citation manager, try out EndNote, a citation management tool that is free to download for all current U of L researchers.
EndNote workshops schedule, as well as video tutorials, can be found here
If you're looking for help in troubleshooting an EndNote problem, feel free to send an email to library.endnote@uleth.ca
NVivo
NVivo workshop dates (for Windows users) are available here.
In your next research project, will you need to analyze a fair amount of qualitative data (e.g., interviews, focus groups, open-ended survey questions)? If so, in this hands-on, two-part workshop for Windows users, you will learn how to use NVivo, an application designed to help organize, analyze, and create meaning from unstructured data. Register or find out more about NVivo here
The University of Hull Library offers a series of short videos on various aspects of NVivo for Windows (Release 1), a slightly older version that is essentially the same as NVivo 14 in functionality and layout, which can be found on this page as well, as there are no workshops over the summer months.
i4Geo 2025 Workshop Series
The i4Geo Geospatial Science & Technology Series offers a dynamic, hands-on workshop experience designed to equip participants with advanced skills and practical knowledge across a wide range of geospatial analyses and applications. While all modules can be attended in a ‘watch and learn’ format, select sessions also allow participants to follow along on their own laptops, provided the necessary software and files are preloaded. Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your geospatial expertise!
