Island Studies Press has relocated back to Main Building, Room 204 566-0386 Summer hours: Monday-Thursday, 8:30 am-4 pm
Research Services at UPEI is about to launch its fifth season of Research on Tap, and we'd like your help. Research on Tap is a monthly pub night, held on the first Tuesday of the month from October to April. We meet at a local pub (The Pourhouse, above Charlottetown's Old Triangle) for an evening of ideas, discussion, and debate. Are you a UPEI faculty member interested in leading one of these discussions? Please get in touch with research communications officer Dave Atkinson. He can be reached at datkinson@upei.ca or 620-5117. Each evening is led by one researcher from UPEI. That person lays out the central idea of their argument in about ten minutes. The rest of the hour is for questions, discussion, and debate. The conversation is interesting, engaged, and always lively. We average about 60 attendees (and have had more than 100 on a few occasions), more than half are from the general public. Discussions topics can be from any discipline, but should be accessible to the public, and should be related in some way to your research. As a general rule, if it would make for good dinner conversation, it would make for a good Research on Tap. If you have an idea, drop Dave a line. If you would like help focusing your idea into an appropriate Research on Tap subject, talk to Dave. He'd be glad to help.
