Research is an essential tool for discovering new information about the world.
Each individual or group of students in Research Methods this term has negotiated research ethics and design, structured research questions, conducted a literature review, and collected and analyzed original data.

Join us in celebrating the authors and the publication of the 2015 edition of The Dalhouse Journal of Interdisciplinary Management!

The journal was a success this year thanks to the support of Faculty of Management students and student associations (like SIMSA!). This year, DJIM will be publishing a selection of peer-reviewed academic articles written by graduate students in the School of Information Management and the School of Public Administration.

Come to support your classmates, to hear about the Open Access movement, get an overview of the articles published, and learn how to become involved.

Refreshments will be provided.
