The Canadian Opinion Research Archive [CORA] and the Department of Political Studies present:

“Research Data Management (RDM): An Introduction”

with Alexandra Cooper, Data Services Coordinator, Queen’s University Library

Tuesday, March 7th, 12:00 – 1:00 pm

Robert Sutherland Hall, Room 202

*Lunch provided

Well-managed research data is an international best practice and contributes to the reach and impact of research. Data management plans (DMPs) and data deposit are also increasingly required for funding applications or journal submissions. Queen’s has recently created an Institutional Research Data Management Strategy in response to the Tri-Agency’s RDM Policy released in March 2021. To support researchers in RDM best practices, the Library has an RDM Guide and also provides one-on-one or group consultations. This session will be led by the Data Services Coordinator at Queen’s Library, Alexandra Cooper, and cover key concepts and practices within RDM with the goal of familiarizing participants with what RDM is, what practices are encouraged or required within the institution and by the Tri-Council, and more.

It is with great sadness that we note the passing of former Queen's student Will Cockrell. Will graduated from the MA program in Political Studies in 2018, specialization Political and Legal Thought, writing his Masters Research Paper on the question "What is Democratic about 'Property-Owning Democracy'?"  Condolences to his family, fiancée, and loved ones can be directed to the memorial website: 

A celebration of Will's life will be hosted by his fiancée, Mira Dineen.

2022 Lecture:  Vibe Shift: The Contentious Promise of Liberalism - Elamin Abdelmahmoud

The John Meisel Lecture Series in Contemporary Political Controversies Fourth Annual Lecture

"Vibe Shift: The Contentious Promise of Liberalism"

Elamin Abdelmahmoud

 

Tuesday, November 15, 2022

Lecture 4:00-5:30 PM | Biosciences Complex Room 1101

Reception 5:30-6:30 PM | Biosciences Atrium (Light refreshments served)

 

���˴�Ƭ the Lecture: Growing up in the shadow of The End of History and the supposed triumph of western democracy, it seemed that liberalism was stable, inevitable and perhaps even permanent. But this declaration turned out to be premature. This lecture surveys our modern relationship to liberalism and its promise, and interrogates how the social and political institutions tasked with protecting and reinforcing liberalism have come up short. 

���˴�Ƭ the Speaker: Elamin Abdelmahmoud is a culture writer for BuzzFeed News and host of CBC’s pop culture show Pop Chat, and author of the bestselling memoir Son of Elsewhere. He was a founding co-host of the CBC Politics podcast Party Lines, and he is a contributor to The National’s At Issue panel. His work has appeared in Rolling Stone, the Globe and Mail, and others. When he gets a chance, he writes bad tweets.
