The Program in Graduate Student Supervision (PGSS) is designed to provide an introduction for faculty to important aspects of graduate student supervision. The purpose of this program is to review the literature on graduate student supervision and to help you reflect on your practice as a graduate supervisor. Specifically, this program will serve to support professional development of faculty at Memorial University on effective graduate supervision in hopes of reducing time-to-completion rates and program attrition, and increasing optimal student outcomes. We predict that participants will need to spend 12 to 14 hours in order to complete the program. The Program in Graduate Student Supervision is offered in a blended mode of delivery. In order to make it as effective and efficient as possible, the majority of the program will be provided through a facilitated online format. This means that a facilitator will participate in the discussions to encourage participation by every member of the group, and to offer feedback on the various discussion topics. Online modules will be available in Brightspace starting February 18, 2019. Face-to-Face sessions are scheduled as follows: Session #1: Wednesday, March 6, 2019 Session #2: Wednesday, March 20, 2019 Session #3: Wednesday, April 3, 2019 Session #4: Wednesday, April 17, 2019 All face-to-face sessions will take place from 10:00am – 11:30am in ED1001 (GA Hickman – Education Building). The program is free and participants will receive a certificate of completion upon successfully finishing. To register, contact CITL through Jennifer Moran or call 864-3028. Please be prepared to provide the following information: • Name • Faculty or School • Campus • Email • Brightspace Username (my.mun.ca) For more information, visit: https://citl.mun.ca/TeachingSupport/PD/GraduateSupervision.php

Capernaum (Lebanon, USA 2018) 121 min. Directed by Nadine Labaki. With Zain Al Rafeea, Yordanos Shiferaw, Boluwatife Treasure Bankole, Kawsar Al Haddad et al. Arabic with English subtitles. Here we have another study of poverty, but this time focused on the remarkable life and misadventures of a twelve-year old boy named Zain. You might see reminders here of the Italian social realism films of the post-War II period, or other more recent work such as The Florida Project: life seen and lived through the eyes of children inhabiting desperate conditions. How the filmmaker drew such a persuasive and heart-breaking performance out of a child is one of the mysteries of this masterpiece. But she surely did, as we observe Zain fight the odds of existence every day of his young life. He necessarily wanders through a city in Lebanon, hustling whatever he can while loyally helping his siblings endure their own sad lives. Essentially we are witness to a harsh indictment of the social realities that give rise to a Zain: the mistreatment of women, the imbalance of power, the politics of war. Not all is grim realism, however. A glimmer of redemption is possible—that crack where the light comes in.
