Live Panels: From Knowledge to Action
Join us for our panel discussions which will bring together scholars tackling a common theme from multi-disciplinary perspectives. For the month of March, we have organized two live discussions; one focusing on the environment and the other social inequalities. Current students will share ideas and perspectives about how graduate research at York can respond to the societal need and the potential of engagement across disciplinary boundaries in generating critical innovative knowledge.
Climate Action: the Roles of Research\ Climate change is the greatest threat to life on our planet. This round table brings together three emerging researchers from a range of disciplines to discuss what it means to research the ways humans are transforming the planet now. Join us as we explore the difficulties we face along with some of the possible avenues for establishing a sustainable future.
Reducing Inequalities: An Urgent Call for Action\ To advance social justice, graduate students at York University are discovering new approaches to dismantling the ideologies which promote progress through disadvantage and the systemic (re)production of inequality. This panel, comprised of an educator, actor and disability advocate, will highlight some of the most pressing issues facing our society, while exploring how our researchers are taking action.
