Advances in technology have redefined the concept of the workplace. Today, it’s possible to not only work from a home office but also from a plane, train, hotel room or coffee shop. While there is now greater flexibility around when, where, and how you can work, this increased availability also produces unique issues that need to be addressed. In this session, participants will focus on recent workplace trends and discuss the benefits and challenges of working remotely. 

Learning Objectives:

  • Set boundaries between work and personal lives
  • Understand how to manage themselves when working remotely
  • Develop effective communication strategies for virtual learning and networking

The peer review process - in which experts critically assess manuscripts under consideration for publication in a scholarly journal - is critical to upholding the academic rigour and self-correcting nature of scholarship. More than just critically responding to a paper, there is an art to crafting a review that is constructive and rigourous, while also being reasonable and collegial. In this session, we will walk through the process of reviewing a scholarly paper with practical tips and suggestions for both novice and seasoned reviewers.
