Post Until May 7 2026
Are you a student, faculty member, or psychological professional with research relevant to the Section on Women and Psychology (SWAP) that you would like to present at the annual Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) Convention from June 4 to 6, 2026, in Montr茅al, Qu茅bec?
SWAP creates a community of researchers, teachers, and practitioners interested in the psychology of women and feminist psychology to advance women鈥檚 status in psychology, promote equity for women in general, and educate psychologists and the public on relevant topics to women and girls.
It can sometimes be difficult to find others whose work is similar to yours. The Graduate Student Representative for SWAP hopes to help in this process by creating a shareable contact information form that will allow you to see what work others are doing and perhaps join in to create a symposium.
The process:
- Complete this : Providing your name, institution, academic email address, a few keywords that best capture your research, and a brief (no more than 250 words) abstract about the work you would like to present at the CPA 2026 convention to swapstudentrep@gmail.com. Please note that this will be shared with other students and faculty who also provide the same information via email.
- The Graduate Student Representative will compile each person鈥檚 information into one document.
- If you provide your information, you will receive that list. The list aims to show the work of other students and faculty across Canada and possibly join in creating a symposium.
- A symposium presentation features three papers. If you see two other individuals whose work may fit with your own under a more general theme, you will need to contact them and coordinate the creation of the symposium.
The deadline to submit abstracts to CPA is December 4th, 2025. Therefore, the deadline to submit the above information is Friday, November 14th, at 5 p.m. After submitting, you will be able to edit your submission until this deadline. The final list will be sent out the following day, giving you approximately two weeks to review the list and contact potential others whose work relates to yours.
Note: Those with unique topics that cannot be matched with others to be presented in a symposium will still be able to submit their work in other formats.
If you are interested in participating and/or have any questions, please email Ellen Coady, the Graduate Student Representative, at swapstudentrep@gmail.com.
Please see for more information about the convention and for more information about SWAP.

Pathways to Equity Bursary, which returned this Fall semester and is now open for students to apply. The EL Hub, in partnership with the Faculty of Community Services (FCS) Dean鈥檚 Office, is working closely with 成人大片鈥檚 Student Awards and Scholarship Office to offer this bursary to equity-deserving undergraduate students who are facing financial barriers in completing unpaid, curricular, work-integrated learning (WIL) opportunities.
The funding is designed to provide eligible students with $1,000 to $1,800 in assistance to help offset costs associated with their experiential learning courses. These costs often include travel, lost income, childcare, eldercare, materials/supplies, police checks, professional fees, clothing and more. Last year, we were thrilled to support almost 180 eligible 成人大片 students with approximately $310,000 to ease the financial burden of participating in courses with WIL activities.
To be eligible for this bursary, students must be enrolled in a Fall semester course that offers an unpaid WIL activity with an eligible community/industry partner. These WIL activities could take the form of:
- community and industry research & projects
- entrepreneurial WIL
- field placements/practicums, and
- community service learning WIL
In glancing at the EL Hub鈥檚 course tagging data, it appears that there are multiple courses offered through the Faculty of Arts this semester that may fall into one of these WIL types and in which eligible students may be enrolled. Examples of these might be capstone courses, courses with community-based learning components, and/or courses with an external research project that involves a community/industry partner.
With a desire to get the word out to as many eligible students as possible, we would be most grateful if you could support the promotion of this bursary to faculty, instructors and/or staff in your programs and Schools who are involved in the facilitation or delivery of courses that offer these forms of WIL.
The Jehangir Saleh Fund was originally established in 2014 as an annual lecture series to honour the memory, life, and work of Jehangir Saleh. Jehangir was a curious, creative, and inspirational student of philosophy at 成人大片, who graduated from Arts & Contemporary Studies in 2008.
Jehangir dedicated his time and academic work to the idea of 鈥榦pening up鈥 and understanding chronic illness, using his personal and lived experiences as a framework for creative, theoretical and research exploration. The Fund provides students with a platform to explore and engage with ideas that inspire conversation, create a sense of community, and enact social change. Faculty of Arts students, or groups of students with at least one Faculty of Arts student at 成人大片 (成人大片), are invited annually to apply for financial support towards public initiatives that continue Jehangir鈥檚 work and legacy.
These events, which can take place in the form of public lectures, panel discussions, artistic installations, and/or performances, might explore themes such as:
- The intersection of identity and community
- Chronic illness and disability
- The social framing of illness and death
Projects can be in collaboration or celebration with other activities such as Social Justice Week or Mental Health Week. They can include bringing in a guest speaker for a stand-alone event for members of the 成人大片 and broader community or be a part of an existing student conference or event. They can also be meaningful, community-building endeavours to support overcoming various forms of adversity.
