Still single. I enjoy spending time on my own though, I just wish I had a partner as well.

Nope, it's a different one.

November 15th, 2019 is the launch date of the contest, just saw it on the website.

Hopefully on Monday (last day of September). We'll see. Who's applying?

My department decided to nominate me for a convocation leadership award !

I'm feeling a little blue, anxious and lonely today.

I read electronically. Otherwise, with the number of articles and papers I have to read, it would easily become non-manageable and non-effective (at least for me).

Good to know! I did not know about Google Scholar alerts. thanks!

There's a larger Discord chatroom for Graduate Students that I found through Reddit. Here's the link, it's very active, there are virtual writing sessions in it as well.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. :(

Almost a month since I moved for my PhD studies, and all I can say is that I am really happy and enjoying it so far.

Hello, I have a membership with ToC Journals alerts. However, I don't get that many emails... is there a way to have journal articles alerts specific to our area of research with SAGE Publications for instance (or other major publications websites for scientific articles)?

Any news? It appears the contest has not opened yet...

The professor emailed me today to tell me that my last summary was excellent. I did not ask for it. So it's reassuring.

True

Your website is lovely!

I have found books that explain Foucault's arguments for beginners, which has been immensely helpful. But, I have to think critically about his argument and I feel like I'm at a stage where I'm just trying to understand what he says before I can critically comment on it.

Hello everyone, so I just finished my first week of PhD studies, and I have to admit that I find the readings I was assigned quite daunting. I am reading Foucault for the first time in my life. It has taken me 1 and a half day to "partially" understand 2/3 of the chapter I have to read, and I am not done yet. I have to submit a critical commentary of 2 pages on Wednesday, I have started it but, I find it hard to summarize his argument. (I need to learn to do this asap because of the comprehensive exam that is coming next summer.) Is this normal? I'm also the youngest person in my seminar, and I feel like my past degrees and past university did not teach me how to read very heavy theoretical texts in comparison to my class colleagues who come from other disciplines than mine. We had to comment some readings this week, and I find that my comments were not relevant and did not have enough depth.

Yes, that's what I have been told by multiple people, that if you are from Quebec and study in Ontario, you can combine FRQ with OGS (I am not talking about SSHRC here.). But I would check if the rules have changed, but as far I as know, they were no rules about this so that's why many people did that.

Hello, I am reading Foucault for the first time. I am not accustomed to this level of reading. Any tips on how to understand these kinds of texts better while reading? Thanks,

Hello, I have a 1-2 pages critical summary to complete each week on the readings assigned in my class. How much should be allotted to summarizing the text versus commenting on it from my perspective and discipline? thanks!

I also think it depends for how long you've been living in Quebec...I would check the eligibility criteria just to be sure if I were you.

A lot of people I know who are living in Quebec but studying in Ontario apply to both OGS and FRQ. There is nothing that doesn't allow you to combine both. It's a loophole, there seems to be no clear barrier to doing this I have been told multiple times.

Got a radio interview tomorrow after a op-ed I have published two weeks ago. I'm really happy because it's related to my research expertise. Yay!
