    Women in Physics / Femmes en physique (CEWIP-CEFEP)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

    The success and persistence of women and other under-represented minorities in physics post-secondary education has been studied from numerous perspectives. Recently, researchers have suggested that success and persistence in physics depends on the development of a strong physics-identity. However, to form a complex picture of how students access resources that contribute to the development of...

    Oral (Non-Student) / Orale (non-étudiant(e))

    Across several years of Physics 100 and Physics 101, two large introductory physics courses at UBC, a consistent pattern has emerged: On exams and diagnostic tests for nearly 3000 students, female students underperform relative to their male peers. The existence of this performance gap is consistent with the science education literature. However, a focus on performance may be missing important...

    Physics Education / Enseignement de la physique (DPE-DEP)
    Oral (Non-Student) / Orale (non-étudiant(e))

    In 2014 the Physics Department at Simon Fraser University (SFU) began a peer tutoring program to support the students enrolled in our two “Physics for the Life Sciences” first-year courses. Four undergraduate students who earned high grades in these courses were recruited to be volunteer peer tutors and run weekly drop-in tutoring sessions. We specifically chose students majoring in the life...

    Oral (Non-Student) / Orale (non-étudiant(e))

    NSERC's Senior Policy Advisor on EDI will provide an overview of the agency's EDI-related initiatives, with a specific focus on the made-in-Canada version of the UK Athena SWAN program being launched to encourage and recognize commitments made by post-secondary institutions towards advancing equity, diversity and inclusion in the research community. This program is broader in scope than what...
