Nipissing is celebrating Research Month in March.
The university is highlighting faculty and student research in a variety of areas, including STEM, humanities, and social sciences.
“At Nipissing University, research is driven by curiosity, innovation, and a commitment to making a difference,” says Dr. Barbi Law, Associate Vice-President, of Research, Innovation and Graduate Studies. “Research Month is not only an opportunity to learn about faculty research but also a chance to showcase the research being conducted by our students. As a small university, we take pride in offering undergraduate students unique opportunities to be deeply engaged in research.”
Scheduled events begin with NU360 Speaker Night on March 4 at 6 pm at the NUSU Student Centre.
Faculty researchers will be sharing their work through short, engaging, TED-style talks, offering a glimpse into the research happening at Nipissing.
Topics will include:
- Resisting Evil in The Chronicles of Narnia and Harry Potter, Dr. Sarah Winters
- ‘70 is the new 30’: Exploring biomechanical changes across adulthood, Dr. Alison Schinkel-Ivy
- Tackling Addiction: Supporting frontline clinicians with insights from the lab, Dr. Andrew Weeks
- Cross-Border Activities in Uganda: Global Health Security and Equity Implications, Dr. Morris Komakech
- Lawyers, Guns, and Money (and Historians), Dr. Nathan Kozuskanich
Student research will be the focus later in the month.
The 18th annual Undergraduate Research Conference takes place March 28-29.
Officials say the event will showcase diverse research across the arts, humanities, social sciences, health, and sciences.
Graduate students, and their research, will wrap up research month with the 3-Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition on April 1.
Officials say everyone in the community is invited to take in the events, to explore new ideas, and engage in conversations that spark curiosity and discovery.
