Description
This panel gathers a few of the instructors that participated in AAG’s “Methods Training for Students” Program. This program was funded by AAG Council in Summer 2020 (among the recommendations from AAG’s COVID-19 Task Force) to establish workshops, freely available to AAG members and designed for graduate students, to demonstrate a research method in geography that is feasible or adaptive during a pandemic.

The instructors are from a variety of institutions and research backgrounds, and will share their experiences engaging with graduate students all over the world and supporting them virtually in making progress in their research during COVID-19. They will discuss a few questions:
Which workshop or seminar of “AAG’s Learning Series” have you offered?
What new challenges did graduate students share?
What suggestions would you give to the other instructors to guide their graduate students at this time?
How has your own research been impacted by the pandemic?
About AAG’s Learning Series for Graduate Students
The original proposal for this program was written in May 2020 as part of AAG’s COVID-19 Task Force by Brittany Lauren Wheeler (Clark University) and Dydia Delyser (California State University, Fullerton) as members of the “Student” subcommittee chaired by Lindsay Naylor (University of Delaware). Their proposal was selected for implementation by AAG Council in July 2020. The Selection Committee for this program is composed of faculty at all levels and a graduate student: Lindsay Naylor (Chair, University of Delaware), Dydia DeLyser (California State University, Fullerton), Adriana E. Martinez (Southern Illinois University Edwardsville), Skye Naslund (University of Washington), and Yuqin Jiang (University of South Carolina). The program implementation was further informed by Joslyn Zale (University of Southern Mississippi) and Iain Hay (Flinders University of South Australia) who each instructed a pilot workshop, and by the participating graduate students.
