Abstract
I am very pleased to present this volume of work produced by our
graduate students. All of these papers were presented at the
Graduate Student Symposium in held in the Faculty of Education
in April 2005 and in April 2006. This annual spring event has
become a central feature of the graduate experience in the Faculty
of Education at Queen's—perhaps because students not only write
and present the papers but also organize and take ownership of the
entire symposium. Students come together, meeting regularly for
months, to plan every aspect of the symposium, to review the
proposals that have been submitted, and to choose and invite the
key note speaker and the discussants. Many students have told me
that this collegial experience of organizing and presenting at the
symposium was a highlight of their time in the graduate program.
Now we can all celebrate their scholarship because their papers
are available in this refereed publication. I would be remiss if I did
not thank our dean, Rosa Bruno-Jofré, for the inspired idea to hold
the symposium and for her generous, ongoing support—financial
and moral—of this important event. Finally, I thank all the
reviewers and congratulate the graduate students on their
accomplishments represented here.
