Transmissions – Graduate Student Lecture Series

The TransCanada Institute hosts a regular series of research papers presented by the graduate students at College of Arts, University of Guelph.

The goal of the series is to showcase and workshop innovative and exciting new research by graduate students in the School of English and Theatre Studies at the University of Guelph; create a forum for intellectual dialogue across disciplines at the University of Guelph; and provide an oppurtunity for SETS graduate students and faculty to think aloud about the challenges facing the profession today. In addition to the open invitation to all faculty members, the Transmissions organizing committee may extend individual invitations to faculty members with expertise in the research areas to be discussed during a given session.

Anyone interested in presenting at an upcoming Transmissions session should email questions or a 200 word abstract to transcan@uoguelph.ca

Transmissions is organized by doctoral students affiliated with TransCanada Institute, in collaboration with and under the mentorship of TransCanada Institute’s Director.
