The Association of Graduate Education Students (AGES) was formed in 1998 by a group of graduate students who believed in creating a community within the Faculty of Education at UVic. AGES aims to build a strong, inclusive, and diverse community within the faculty, share resources and information, and support graduate students on their journey to degree completion.
AGES offers support for graduate students in the Faculty of Education, including regular workshops and an annual conference in April.
Upcoming AGES Workshops
Reimagining the Dissertation: Exploring Emerging and Next-Generation Formats – Friday, January 30
2:30 – 3:30 pm
Location TBD
Presenter: Valeria Cortes, UVic PhD Candidate, Department of Indigenous Education
What if a dissertation were more than a written document? In this session, participants will explore how graduate students are expanding the ways through which scholarly knowledge can be expressed beyond the written manuscript. Drawing on recent examples and insights from the Next-Generation Dissertation Project, the session introduces a range of emerging dissertation designs. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss how format, audience, and purpose shape dissertation design, and to consider new ways of conveying knowledge in ways that are impactful, accessible, and designed with both rigor and ethical responsibility.
No registration required – see you there!
