The 2024 Postgraduate Student Conference

After careful evaluation by an esteemed panel of discussants from multiple disciplines, the oral presentation winners from the 2nd Annual One-UWI Postgraduate Student Conference have been announced.

This three-day online conference, hosted by the School for Graduate Studies and Research (SGSR) at The University of the West Indies, took place from November 20-22, 2024, under the theme “Collaborative Horizons: Interdisciplinary Visions for Caribbean and Global Progress.”

Prizes were distributed on March 28 as the presentation winners were recognised for their academic rigor and clarity of expression, as well as their contributions to advancing knowledge in the conference’s key focus areas. With one overall winner from each of the conference sessions, a total of 12 prize-winners of the Postgraduate Student Conference received electronic gift vouchers. Additionally, a few fortunate attendees were awarded electronic gift vouchers.

Professor Aldrie Henry-Lee, Pro Vice-Chancellor for Graduate Studies and Research, commended the high caliber of research and ideas presented saying, “I am very pleased with the success of the second postgraduate conference,” she noted. “Thank you to all members of The UWI’s postgraduate community for this collaborative initiative. We were honored to highlight these remarkable presentations and acknowledge the profound impact of our students’ research. Congratulations to all awardees, and I look forward to welcoming everyone to the third postgraduate student conference, scheduled for November 12-15, 2025.”
