Thinking about furthering your education in archival studies?

Then you should definitely attend the ACA@UBC’s 2015 seminars and symposium, but in particular, you should attend a presentation by Anne Gilliland, Director of Archival Studies at UCLA and Director of the Archival Education and Research Initiative (AERI) on Thursday February 12th at 3:30 pm in the Lillooet Room.

Read below for the presentation abstract:

Doctoral Education and the Archival Education Research Initiative (AERI)

Professor Anne J. Gilliland, Director of Archival Studies, UCLA and Director of the Archival Education and Research Initiative (AERI)

This presentation will review the rapid development over the past two decades of doctoral education in archival studies, both in North America and worldwide. It will consider the reasons for this growth and the emerging career possibilities. Drawing on the experiences and data gathered by the Archival Education and Research Initiative (AERI), it will also discuss how prospective students might approach identifying the right doctoral program for their own interests and issues such as duration, funding, taught curricula, and location. It will also discuss trends in areas of research being pursued and methodological approaches that are being applied, and the possibilities for collaborative work. In its seventh year, AERI is a now global movement that is funded by the U.S. Institute for Museum and Library Services and led by a consortium of American research universities. It is dedicated to supporting and expanding state-of-the-art archival education, pedagogy, and scholarship. Each year it brings together incoming and continuing doctoral students, recent doctoral graduates, and faculty from across the United States and worldwide for a week-long institute to present and critique research in process, jointly develop curriculum and new pedagogical strategies, offer career mentoring as well as instruction in specific methodological approaches, identify emerging areas of grand research challenges, and strategize about the development of appropriate infrastructure to support the future of archival studies.

Positive Experience at the SLAIS Review Meeting Dec 4

05 Friday Dec 2014

I would like to say thank-you to all the students who provided their input regarding SLAIS’s external review. The ACA@UBC Coordinator, two other MAS/Dual students, and MLIS students met with the committee yesterday. All the input, such as adjunct professors, the lack of permanent MAS faculty, a practical component to classes, etc., were mentioned by myself or other students.

The overall atmosphere on behalf of all the SLAIS student representatives was positive and supportive of SLAIS. We all spoke about the amazing opportunities and education we receive here at UBC, whether we are in MAS, MLIS, Dual or MACL program. The meeting primarily focused on why we love SLAIS and the positive ways the school could improve. If you have any questions about the review, feel free to email the ACA@UBC.

Lastly, if you haven’t visited the ACA@UBC’s seminars and symposium site, the link is below for you to check it out. Student registration is only 10$ with lunch included. We have a great roster of international speakers coming from LAC, Library of Congress and more, so please check out the site and register for the event!
