Welcome to the Dean’s Podcast – the podcast about issues shaping graduate studies in Canada.
In this episode, your host Carolyn Watters, Dalhousie University dean of graduate studies, who is also incoming president of the Canadian Association of Graduate Studies (CAGS), talks to Martin Kreiswirth, McGill University dean of graduate studies, and outgoing CAGS president. Dr. Kreiswirth shares the highlights of his year as president, including initiatives on postdoctoral fellows, national guidelines for graduate supervision and professional skills development. He also discusses his impressions as a dean of the differences between grad studies in Ontario and Quebec. (Running time 15:21).
