Reconceptualizing Graduate Research Circle

Greetings from the RECE Graduate Research Circle (RGRC)! Our vibrant community of graduate students and postgraduates continues to thrive with engaging discussions and exciting initiatives. In November 2022, we hosted our first Circle, a creative space within the RECE community, as we design and collaborate with the support, guidance, and good spirits/praises for each other in a Reconceptualizing Graduate Research Circle (RGRC). Our Research Circles are held every 6-8 weeks on Zoom and serve as a virtual space for discussions and collaboration.

The next RECE Graduate Research Circle meeting will be on Friday, February 20th, 2026 at 1:00pm Central Standard Time (CST)/11:00am Vancouver (Pacific Time). To join Zoom meeting: https://ubc.zoom.us/j/65131688651?pwd=4ULliVe37Wt99tejbcU8b5NVmo8GpX.1

"This space has been truly invaluable in supporting my academic growth throughout my doctoral journey. It offers not only a platform to connect with peers who share similar research interests and experiences but also opportunities to engage with more experienced scholars in the field. These interactions have been crucial in helping me navigate the challenges of academia, particularly as a young scholar. The sense of community and belonging I’ve found here has greatly enriched my experience, providing both professional development and personal support beyond my expectations"
