Explore the variety of publications and artistic contributions by our faculty from School of Science and the Environment, School of Arts and Social Sciences and School of Fine Arts.

Explore our interactive map to see where our faculty are sharing their research around the world.

Depending on the day you walk into the Office of Research and Graduate Studies, you could be greeted by any number of faculty, staff and grad students bustling about and getting stuff done! 

The projects undertaken by the research office are just the tip of the iceberg: we have more than 100 faculty members who are conducting research in our three schools: Arts and Science, Fine Arts and Science and the Environment. And then there’s the work being done by faculty at our affiliate, Western Regional School of Nursing. Many examples of faculty research are highlighted in this report. In addition, our office documents research outputs in INSIGHT-FELL and INSIGHT-BLOG.

Grenfell’s authors produced 12 books during 2016-18.

We also share our research with each other – to keep abreast of what our colleagues and students are accomplishing. For instance, Friday Light Informal Research Talks (FLIRT) have been bringing the work of Grenfell Campus researchers to the larger campus community since 2016. The initiative has also been engaging off-campus researchers to share their crucial research discussions.

Started by Drs. Julie Sircom and Nadolny and now co-chaired by Grenfell Dr. Nadolny and Dr. Garrett Richards, FLIRT is a multi-disciplinary series of talks that are meant to be informal in nature and allow those on campus to stay informed of each other’s research, initially between the disciplines of social sciences and arts. The initiative ash since expanded, making the presentations representative of all schools at Grenfell Campus and Western Regional School of Nursing.

"After a couple of years at Grenfell I realized I didn’t know what many of the other researchers in arts on campus were doing," explained Dr. Nadolny. "I got in contact with Julie Sircom, who was running a similar set of talks for those in science and we decided to combine those to make FLIRT." A full list of past FLIRT talks is available here: FLIRT 2016-2017, FLIRT 2017-2018, FLIRT 2018-2019.

"I think it’s neat that FLIRT provides a space for researchers from other places," said Dr. Richards. " I think it’s important that researchers on campus know that it is there and operates on a regular schedule."

Meanwhile, during the summers, our story sharing doesn’t come to a halt: the Research Office organizes Summer Research Student Seminars, where undergrad and grad students have an opportunity to share the work they conduct as research assistants to our faculty. A list of those topics is available here.
