DISE Talks! Call for Proposals

Published: 25 July 2011

We are now accepting proposals for DISE Talks! - a new forum for members of the DISE community, both students and faculty, to come together and share their work on research and/or pedagogy. In DISE we are fortunate to have a group of students and faculty who use a wide range of research and pedagogical approaches and methodologies. DISE Talks! celebrates this diversity and aims to provide a forum for members of the DISE community to share and learn from one another. Some aims of the forum are:

  • to promote a culture of exchange within DISE
  • to enable presenters to discuss the challenges of their works-in-progress
  • to foster a culture of constructive and critical feedback
  • to foster a spirit of collaboration among DISE course instructors
  • to provide a forum for students (and faculty) to practice their presentation skills


Beginning in the Fall 2011 semester, DISE Talks! will take place on Thursday of every second week. There will be two alternating time slots, 12pm -1pm or 4pm- 5pm. In each session, the presenter(s) will offer a 20-30 minute talk followed by a discussion with the audience. Some of the possible presentation topics include preliminary results of a study, a literature review, a dry-run for an upcoming conference presentation, a thesis or dissertation proposal, a grant proposal, or course development plans (for course instructors), to name a few.

If you are interested in presenting at DISE Talks! please send a one-page summary of your proposed talk to talks.dise [at] mcgill.ca by August 1, 2011. Your summary should include the following information:

  • Name(s) of presenter(s) and the title of the talk
