Student researchers at TRU are vibrantly diverse and hold a wealth of lived experience(s) that inform our learning and enrich our academic and social contributions—which are one and the same! Individual paths to ‘academic’ research may vary, yet we are united in curiously forging new trails in every possible direction. We are democratizing the ‘ivory tower’ because all individuals, groups, and people(s) have valid ways of knowing and understanding the world we share. Further, we know the endeavour of learning, exploring, creating, and understanding is inherent to all people(s)—we are born researchers!
As such, we welcome everyone to explore our open-access network! Our primary goal in creating this page was to facilitate meaningful connection and collaboration across disciplines, intersectional identities, social locations, and worldviews. Everybody is welcome to discover and engage with existing opportunities and/or share their own opportunity or event!
