The Graduate Student Hidden Curriculum Seminar Series is designed to demystify the unwritten rules of graduate school and equip students with strategies and resources for academic success, mental wellness, and professional development. Each seminar includes interactive activities and actionable takeaways.
The hidden curriculum in North American academia refers to unwritten social and cultural norms often aligned with white middle-class values, which can marginalize individuals with intersecting identities such as race, gender, and sexuality. These norms perpetuate exclusivity and lack of diversity in fields, particularly in the biomedical sciences. This seminar’s objective is to help demystify and disrupt these academic norms, address structural inequities, and provide transparent training to ensure all students can succeed without conforming to hidden expectations.
“Thoughtfully Integrating AI in Grad School”
In this seminar, participants will learn:
- Implications of AI as an equity issue
- Practical applications of AI for coding, literature reviews, setting up experiments, administrative tasks, and emailing your PI.
- Limitations of using AI in manuscript and grant writing.
- Preparing for future uses in applications and cover letters.
Registration is required.
