PATH 2011 Keynote

May 13, 2011 by Gavan Leave a Comment

I was in Toronto a week ago as a participant for what was a great conference on supporting and assisting graduate student development. As I’m want to do, I live-tweeted the keynote. Dr. Doug Peers’ talk turned out to be a really interesting and spot-on critique of the way that graduate school gets done today. I spent some time today piecing together Peers’ keynote using my, and other conference-goers tweets. A read through the document will provide an overview of just some of the issues facing Canadian graduate students and graduate programs today.
