Description
Thesis Lounge: a graduate student organized session
Remote data collection in a COVID-19 pandemic era: A perspective of a graduate student studying in Canada and collecting his PhD thesis research data in Africa.
Rationale: This session is a participatory session with the lead presenter being a current Ph.D. Candidate at Western University in Canada. The presenter shares his remote data collection experience from two African countries during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. This session begins with a 30 minute presentation designed to describe the presenter’s approach to collecting data remotely, as well as highlighting tips to improve success as well as potential pitfalls to take note of.
The next part of the session will build on the presentation and focus on drawing from other participants who have also collected their graduate research data from African countries remotely. Their perspectives and experiences will also enrich the session when they bring a multidisciplinary, multi cultural and contextual content to the discussion. The session will conclude with questions and answers from the audience.
At the end of this session, graduate students should be guided in how to overcome distance barriers when successfully planning and remotely collecting data from the African continent during a pandemic.
Presenter: Uche Ikenyei is a PhD. Candidate, Health Information Sciences (HIS), Western University, Canada. His PhD research focuses on exploring ways of improving developing countries’ health information systems for future infectious disease pandemics.
*Please note this session will be recorded and posted on this page after the conference.
