Beyond the Academic Journal: Getting Your Research ‘Out There’

Friday, March 13, 2-3:30 p.m.

Online

The Racialized Graduate Students Collective (RGSC) is proud to offer a range of special events tailored to meet the diverse needs and interests of our members. These events, organized upon request, reflect our commitment to personal growth, professional development, community celebration, and academic support and dialogue. By partnering with both on-campus and off-campus service providers, we ensure a rich and comprehensive array of resources and opportunities. Through these special events, the RGSC reaffirms its dedication to supporting Black and Racialized graduate students and enriching their educational and social experiences.

 

Our first professional development workshop for Winter 2026 will be held on March 13 at 2 pm NL time. 

Event description: You worked hard on your research. Now get it out there. This interactive 90-minute virtual workshop explores how graduate students can share their research beyond the peer-reviewed journal. Participants will be introduced to a range of alternative publication and dissemination pathways, including op-eds, blogs, trade publications, podcasts, policy briefs, public talks, and media engagement. Key principles of public scholarship will be discussed, including plain language, audience awareness, storytelling, and ethical engagement. Through hands-on activities, participants will draft a short plain-language summary of their work and develop a personalized plan to share their research with broader audiences. Designed for students preparing journal submissions or exploring other ways to circulate their work, this workshop offers practical tools, concrete strategies, and renewed confidence to make graduate research accessible, impactful, and publicly engaged.
