The University of Toronto’s Kinesiology and Physical Education Graduate Society (KPEGS) will hold its annual Bodies of Knowledge (BOK) conference on May 8, 2026.
About the Conference
BoK is a conference run by graduate students, for graduate students, covering a broad spectrum of inter and multi-disciplinary issues related to health, sport, and physical activity. All subject areas are encouraged to submit an abstract. BoK’s purpose is to help trainees develop their research aptitude, presentation skills, and build a network through a program that gives them time to talk and have discussions about their work.
To accomplish this objective and foster reflexive awareness, the conference features keynote speakers and student panelists specializing in knowledge translation and implementation sciences.
Who Should Attend?
The BoK conference is open to all graduate and undergraduate students (research and professional) and researchers. Programmers, policymakers and others are also encouraged to attend.
You do not need to submit an abstract to attend - please submit a registration form if you plan to attend and support your colleagues.
Conference Programme
The conference programme for the Bodies of Knowledge conference will be released shortly.
