Research Chat Podcast
Introducing Research Chat
Launched in 2020, Research Chat is a podcast showcasing graduate students' research and experiences at Wilfrid Laurier University.
The second season features graduate students from diverse faculties and departments, including Human and Social Sciences, Geography and Environmental Studies, Psychology, Music, and more. Students exploring similar areas of interest interview each other about their ongoing research. Each episode set switches who is the interviewer and who is the interviewee. Both episodes feature engaging conversations about current research practices. Students also share how COVID-19 has affected them in their research programs.
Each podcast is complemented by an article and supplementary materials. The first season of Research Chat is also available, which features graduate students discussing risk management by insurance companies, climate change action, improving hiring practices, babies without birth registration, a recreation program for disabled kids, and giving voice to the voiceless.
Research Chat is a partnership between the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, WLU Library/WLUPress and the Office of Research.
