Birks After Dark podcast
Ana de Souza,听School of Religious Studies, Faculty of Arts
The Birks After Dark podcast is a horror themed ode to late night radio shows. It is named after the historical Birks building which houses the School of Religious Studies. The podcast is produced by Ana de Souza, a PhD student in the School of Religious Studies. The podcast鈥檚 premise takes inspiration from the fact that religion is one of the 'evidently' spooky and disconcerting categories in the university in particular, but also in Western society at large. Each episode is framed as a randomly 'overheard' conversation going on between experts (grad students). Episodes are available on Spotify, Apple podcasts, Google podcasts, iHeart, or directly on the Anchor website ().

Field Chronicles: Opening the Black Box of Fieldwork
Sasha Lleshaj and Rose Chabot,听Political Science, Faculty of Arts
听
Fieldwork is the cornerstone of qualitative social science research, yet students are often poorly trained, operate within a mindset that either mythologizes fieldwork, or obscures its challenges. As today's academia is more diverse in both knowledge generation and the people that inhabit it, we have to tailor our training around these new lived realities and perspectives: understand why some of us face particular barriers to successful fieldwork; engage with the ethical challenges around people in the field and our own positionality, limits, traumas, emotional wellbeing as we conduct this type of work; and, finally, embed fieldwork in the bigger cycle of qualitative research, which is seldom linear, objective, detached from the subject of research. This full day graduate student workshop organized by students, for students, with students, brings together social science graduate students from the four Montreal universities who: (1) have been on fieldwork collecting data, (2) are currently in the field collecting data, or (3) are preparing to go in the field to collect data

Workshop on Data Management and Replicability
Ann-Marie Helou,听Sociology, Faculty of Arts
A major component of all research is data management. As reproducibility of social science research is becoming an increasing concern, data management is becoming even more important. This one-day workshop should give you a solid foundation for creating and sharing reproducible quantitative social science projects. You will learn about version control, data citations and deposits, and curating a reproducible repository. You will practice using the actual tools through exercises meant to walk you through the basics of the concepts introduced. The workshop will go through all the necessary steps for creating a reproducible research product and will discuss the following topics: 1. Finding, describing, accessing, and sharing datasets to enhance reproducibility 2. Data management plans/planning 3. Reproducible work and code.

Decolonization and the Study of Religion Workshop
Lucie Robathan,听School of Religious Studies, Faculty of Arts
Decolonization efforts have been glaringly absent in the study of religion in North America. This workshop on decolonization and decolonial pedagogy as it pertains to the field of religious studies aims to fill this gap. Organized and directed by graduate students from both the 污污草莓视频 School of Religious Studies and the Concordia Department of Religions and Cultures, this project aims to familiarize graduate students with emergent decolonial discourses, and to equip graduate students with praxis-informed decolonial skills that can be used both within and beyond the classroom. While the theme is concerned primarily with the study of religion, we will welcome interested graduate students working in other disciplines.

Dialogues in Performance: Seeking Deeper Collaboration and Reflexivity Across Music Disciplines and Beyond
Julia Weldon and Rebekah Dennis,听Schulich School of Music
Dialogues in Performance seeks to unearth the ways in which self-directed learning and creativity can be fostered in collaborative spaces, and how these concepts can be applied in musical contexts and beyond. It aims to foster deeper understandings of collaborative creation and learning through a symposium featuring two 污污草莓视频 guest speakers, Emmanuel Tabi and Andrea Creech, as well as a creative composition by students from the Schulich School of Music. Audience members will be encouraged to participate in this afternoon of innovative ideas, coffee, pastries, and conversation. This symposium will not only encourage students to become more self-reflexive and critical in higher education music practice and rehearsals, but will create a space for interdisciplinary connections and community-building between music and non-music graduate students, professors, and members of the public.
