Fwd: University-wide graduate awards - deadline Tuesday April 23rd

You all should check this. Best Regards, Ishtiaque Syed Ishtiaque Ahmed Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science University of Toronto, ON, CA Ph: +1 647 220 3482 Skype: syed.ishtiaque.ahmed web: https://www.ishtiaque.net/ My Availability: Google Calendar Link <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=ishtiaque.uoft%40gmail.com&c…> ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Angela Demke Brown <gradchair(a)cs.toronto.edu> Date: Thu, Apr 18, 2019 at 2:29 PM Subject: University-wide graduate awards - deadline Tuesday April 23rd To: <dcsall(a)cs.toronto.edu> Dear graduate students and faculty, The deadline to apply for the SGS University-wide Awards ( http://www.sgs.utoronto.ca/currentstudents/Pages/University-Wide-Awards.aspx) is upon us. This deadline was previously announced as April 19th (in a Feb. 20th email to grad-students@cs) however that date falls on a statutory holiday. We will therefore accept application materials for these awards until 4pm on Tuesday, April 23rd. Please ensure that your complete application, including the required letter(s) of reference are submitted by email to gradoffice(a)cs.toronto.edu by this deadline. For faculty: - Many of the awards explicitly state the the letter of reference “must clearly state the referee's name and contact information” so please make sure to include this. - Submit your letter as a pdf attached to an email with the subject “SGS University-wide Awards reference for <Student Full Name>” For graduate students: Please submit your application as 2 pdfs attached to one email with the subject “SGS University-wide Awards Application”: (1) All application materials (application form, transcripts, cv, research statement, etc.) required for the award(s) to which you are applying, assembled into one document. Note that different awards have different requirements – refer to the SGS webpage for all the details; and (2) the SGS Financial Needs form http://www.sgs.utoronto.ca/Documents/FINAL-Fin-Assess-OSOTF-w-Guide.pdf, if you are applying for an award that includes financial need as one of the criteria. Only item (1) will be provided to the Graduate Affairs Committee for ranking, in the event of multiple applications for the same award. Please read the instructions for the SGS Financial Needs form carefully and follow them. I have seen a number of common errors while reviewing these forms over the last several years, and it makes it very difficult to assess actual need on a level footing. In particular: - You must fill out only Section 1 or Section 2 for living expenses, not both. - Items with a check box in Section 3 require additional documentation. - “Other” expenses in Section 3 also require documentation. Don’t include items like TTC passes or your home internet bill – these are included in the living expenses of Section 1 or Section 2. - Use the 2018-19 Tuition and fees. For domestic students, this should be $8,489.52. International PhD students should also add the cost of UHIP. - In Section 4, use the full amount of your guaranteed funding, including guaranteed TAships. You should have these numbers in your funding letters from the beginning of the year. We are aware that actual living expenses in Toronto are higher than the monthly amounts on the Financial Needs assessment form. To provide a fair basis of comparison, however, you need to fill out the form as accurately as you can. A small positive balance in the “Total Available Resources” is not disqualifying, but a badly filled form might be. If you have any questions about how to fill the form, please ask – I am happy to help find the answers. All the best, Angela -- Angela Demke Brown Associate Professor and Associate Chair for Graduate Studies Department of Computer Science University of Toronto

Hi Folks, This academic semester is about to end, we have a good number of things to celebrate, and I think we should have a party! My schedules are flexible next week in the evenings, but I would like to hear from you about your preferred time, cuisine, and any other suggestions (games, music, activities, place ...?). Feel free to use this thread to discuss. Put your preferences here to help us decide, too: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12u4-wE6G3pXe8I4sgi8bw1i4Vohj1g1xn0c… Also, for this party, may I request that we all try to wear a costume of their choice (that may be a dress from your home country, a dress that you would wear in Halloween, or anything that you want). +1s are welcome! Please let us know if you need any special support. (n.b.: upon a few requests, we are keeping this party non-alcoholic) Best Regards, Ishtiaque Syed Ishtiaque Ahmed Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science University of Toronto, ON, CA Ph: +1 647 220 3482 Skype: syed.ishtiaque.ahmed web: https://www.ishtiaque.net/ My Availability: Google Calendar Link <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=ishtiaque.uoft%40gmail.com&c…>

Graphic Novel on Stigma
by Abdul Kawsar Tushar 15 Apr '19

15 Apr '19

Hi Third Space, This graphic novel [1] reads Erving Goffman's book 'Stigma' (1963) through the lens of black sociology. Goffman was the first to comprehensively conceptualize the notion of stigma in his book and his book has 30k+ citations. You can take a look at the graphic novel if you have time. Thanks.
