Dr. Greer, a Canada Research Chair, has spent the past decade leading a First Nation-university-museum partnership focused on repatriation and restorative practices through exhibitions, online collections, and critical research. In her keynote at the Undergraduate Research Conference, she will discuss "Why Geography Matters," through her international collaborations with major museums and universities.

The three minute thesis competition provides graduate students with an opportunity to refine skills that can be transferred after graduation to diverse career paths. Distilling research into a clear form, without over-simplifying or making it overly-complex, and highlighting the wider implications of this research are important skills to carry into post-graduate employment and public service.

The Undergraduate Research Conference celebrates the contributions of undergraduate research at Nipissing University and across Ontario. It provides an opportunity for students to present a research project they are working on while engaging in scholarly debate.

A student from any undergraduate discipline, who has worked on a scholarly project in which they have taken on a leadership role in its development and execution, are eligible to participate in the conference. Proposals can be disciplinary specific or multi/interdisciplinary.
