By Elizabeth Raymer. On August 1, 2014, U.S. professor Steven G.

By Jennifer Halsall. The end of the academic year has given rise to a host of farewell traditions and activities, but in recent years, one activity in particular has capitalized on the finality of graduation. The last lecture – a send-off lecture given to graduates, students or alumni – is becoming an increasingly common trend at Canadian universities.

Tracing our words down the academic rabbit hole

By Melonie Fullick. Recently, while looking for sources to include in a talk on “online presence” for graduate students, I read this blog post by Lee Skallerup Bessette wherein she discusses “academic conversations.” Lee describes what it’s like to search her own name in Google and come up with dozens of references and direct responses to her academic work, many of which she hadn’t seen before.
