Alumni in the (Virtual) Hub: Exploring Careers During Challenging Times

Join us for this term's Alumni in the Hub event with a virtual twist! COVID-19's complications for students in co-op and graduating students (shout-out to the class of 2020) have proved to be immensely challenging. 'Alumni in the Hub: Exploring Careers During Challenging Times' offers the opportunity to speak with three distinguished alumni with valuable advice and experiences to share. Hailing from the graduating classes of 2008 and 2009, our alumni entered a job market like no other, in the midst of a Canadian economic crisis.

What can Hannah Arendt’s life and work teach us about our present political moment? For the 2020 Grimm Lecture, the Waterloo Centre for German Studies presents Arendt scholar Samantha Rose Hill speaking about the renewed interest in Hannah Arendt’s work, and why we should be reading Arendt now to better understand the politics of today. PLEASE NOTE: THIS LECTURE WILL BE LIVE-STREAMED.
