The research committee brings together faculty and students to promote research within the Faculty of Indigenous Studies, Social Sciences and Humanities. To achieve this, the committee will work with faculty partners to organize activities and events that will provide meaningful and relevant information to researchers to facilitate their activities in achieving their research goals. The Research Committee not only wants to promote new and ongoing research, but also works to celebrate research achievements and the dissemination of research results. We hope to spotlight the endeavors of all researchers at UNBC and spotlight their success to students, faculty, administrators and the larger public across UNBC and beyond. To do this, the Research Committee organizes a number of events throughout the year to promote a strong and vibrant community committed to valuing research in our faculty.

Upcoming Events:
The FISSSH Research Committee is organizing the 2025 annual research symposium, which will be held on Thursday, March 13 in the UNBC Conference Centre (6-205) from 8:30am-4:30pm.
This symposium is open to faculty members, graduate students, and senior undergraduate students. We invite you to submit an abstract for a presentation (10 to 15 minutes in length), a panel, or a roundtable for the event. You can find the registration and submission form for the symposium here: https://forms.office.com/r/SEWBNq0YeE
This will once again be an exceptional way to get to know what research is being conducted in FISSSH and to learn about the individual and collaborative work that faculty members and students are doing. For students, this will be a wonderful opportunity to gain presentation experience by sharing your thesis, project, or course-based research in a supportive space.
Please submit your completed form by February 24, 2025. We look forward to hearing about your research!
