Honouring Partnership: Promoting Engagement and Sensitivity in Aboriginal Health Research
Half‐day Symposium
Members of the MUHC and McGill University research communities are interested in conducting health research with Aboriginal communities, but are unfamiliar/unacquainted with its critical
ethical issues. This interactive event will be a starting point for a discussion on enhancing the protection and well‐being of Aboriginal people in health research.

Designing Effective Multiple-Choice Questions
Would you like to improve the quality of your Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)? Would you like to learn how to use MCQs to assess higher order thinking skills such as application and analysis? If so, join a group of fellow instructors for a workshop about the principles of well-designed multiple-choice questions. During this workshop you will have the opportunity to apply these principles to your own course. Bring existing MCQs exams or course materials for which you would like to develop questions.
Safer Spaces Workshop: Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
This workshop is based on the Safe Spaces workshop first designed and implemented by the McGill Equity Subcommittee on Queer People. Participants in this workshop may choose to participate in our Safer Spaces Allies program.
Safer Spaces Workshop: Aboriginal Perspectives
This workshop is designed and delivered by the First Peoples’ House.
This workshop examines, from multiple perspectives, issues related to the inclusion of Aboriginal peoples on our campuses. The workshop provides historical and contemporary information about laws and policies, demographics, and cultural and economic realities. Participants will have the opportunity to apply new ideas and awareness, and build skills, by working through practical scenarios drawn from everyday work and life at McGill.
The Right Start: Building a Healthy Student-Supervisor Relationship
As a professor, supervising graduate students is in most cases very rewarding. However, the supervisory experience can present professors with many challenges including conflict and at times, ineffective resolution of such conflict. If you would like to learn new strategies to improve communication with supervisees, you might be interested in training in conflict resolution, and in learning how to communicate expectations and responsibilities.
Beginning the Supervisory Alliance
What is a supervisory alliance? The session will introduce a framework to discuss this relationship between supervisor and supervisee in terms of the Bond, Goals, and Tasks. The presentation and discussion will provide you with suggestions, ideas and a model to enable you to collaborate more successfully with your graduate students.
Registration will open in September.
Beyond the research paper – new ways to get students writing
Integrating well designed writing assignments into undergraduate courses can increase students’ engagement and promote critical thinking. Yet, many instructors shy away from including these assignments because of the extra workload required to mark them. During this workshop, we will discuss guidelines for designing short written assignments that make students think more and write less. We will provide examples from McGill professors in fields as diverse as Science, Arts, Music, Law and Engineering to illustrate the range of possibilities.
Safer Spaces Workshop: Race & Cultural Identity
Participants will have the opportunity to examine how race and culture affect daily life in the McGill community. This workshop addresses the challenges of fostering diversity-receptive cultural attitudes, reducing structural barriers in University life, and building and maintaining respectful spaces for interpersonal engagement. Through case studies, participants will have the chance to practice identifying and responding to the types of discrimination most commonly encountered in campus life.
Ethical Issues in Qualitative Research: Developing a qualitative study proposal
Developing a qualitative study proposal? Unsure what ethical issues you may need to address in your study and why? This interactive workshop will provide a general overview of research ethics as it relates to qualitative research and the protection of research participants. Bring your questions!
Safer Spaces Workshop: Disability, Access, and Universal Design
This workshop is designed and delivered by the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD).
Help, My Supervision (Supervisee?) Is in Trouble
In this workshop, McGill counselors and clinicians will present information to help you identify evidence of mental health problems, and to decide when to refer a student.
We will consider strategies for effective boundary setting and discuss the resulting mutual benefits for supervisors and supervisees. Each participant will be asked to present some hypothetical experiences during this workshop.
Registration will in March 2014.
