You're invited to attend "No island is an island: Opportunities for interdisciplinary learning through the Master of Arts in Island Studies"- a panel discussion featuring MAIS graduate students and faculty - on Friday, October 24, 3:00-4:30 pm, SDU Main Building, Room 211. The session will focus on MAIS graduate faculty who have made linkages between their own research interests and Island Studies, and on some of the MAIS students who will give us their "Three-minute Thesis" pitches. The idea is to spark faculty interest in Island Studies and to encourage other faculty to think about how they might continue to work with their own graduating and honours students at the master's level - and keep the MAIS program growing. During the discussion that follows, Chair Laurie Brinklow will invite other MAIS graduate faculty in the audience to talk about their experiences. Everyone is welcome to attend!
