MA Cultural Studies: Curatorial Practices student Gabriel Bell-Gam recently curated Together in Motion: Black & Indigenous Futures on Treaty 1 Territory, presented as part of the 2026 National Black Canadians Summit in Winnipeg.

The multidisciplinary exhibition brought together contemporary art, archival materials, cultural heritage, photography, digital media, and community perspectives to explore identity, memory, belonging, representation, and future-making.

The exhibition was a major success and welcomed notable visitors, including Michaëlle Jean, former Governor General of Canada, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew, Angela Cassie, Interim CEO & Chief Operating Officer Tourism Manitoba, and Minister Nellie Kennedy, Minister of Sport, Culture, Heritage and Tourism.

Gabriel’s curatorial work demonstrates how graduate research and cultural practice can extend beyond the university and contribute meaningfully to public conversations.

Good research starts with good data habits. Whether you're just beginning a research project or already collecting data, developing effective data management practices can save time, reduce stress, and make your research easier to reproduce, share, and build upon.

On September 28, 12:45-1:45, pm join "Data Matters: Building Good Research Data Habits" to learn the fundamentals of research data management and planning. We'll explore a research data management checklist covering file organization, naming conventions, documentation, storage, backups, version control, and data security, along with a checklist for writing reusable code that others—and your future self—can understand and use. You'll leave with practical tools and strategies to help you stay organized throughout your research and prepare your data and code for future sharing and reuse.

Thanks MDP - Indigenous Development- UWinnipeg for the great MDP Field Placement Symposium this morning!

MDP students spent the summer learning directly from practitioners, community leaders, and Indigenous organizations—connecting classroom theory with real on‑the‑ground experience locally, nationally, and internationally. Today they held a symposium to discuss their insights, stories, and lessons learned from working alongside communities advancing Indigenous approaches to development. We loved hearing about the powerful work they were able to do, the connections they made, and how these placements affected students in their studies, professional goals, and personal lives!

What habits helped Dr. Chantal Fiola, Associate VP Indigenous Engagement, as a grad student? Pairing up with classmates, seeking advice from students in the program ahead of her, and developing good relationships with her advisors.

Other advice? "Make the most of the opportunities that you get in grad school. It's a wonderful time of life. Sign up for everything, but don't forget your scholastics."

One thing to avoid? Perfectionism. "It doesn't exist. Nothing is ever going to be perfect. Just get to a place where you're happy with what you produced and move on to the next thing. And try to enjoy the ride."

Thank you, Chantal!

The Faculty of Graduate Studies has two opportunities coming up for grad students.

September 14 is the first Grad Studies workshop, "Beyond the Stacks: How the Library Supports Your Graduate Journey". The workshop gives grad students an opportunity to explore resources and services offered by the UWinnipeg library.

September 21 is the Grad Studies Meet and Greet. Celebrate the start of the fall term with fellow graduate students, faculty, and staff! There will be some fun game or two for a chance to win some cool prizes.
