In this ongoing lecture series presented by the Foundation for Palestinian Studies Fund at the University of Waterloo, we learn about and engage with each other to understand new perspectives and to work for peace in this often volatile region of the world. Right now, when Palestinians and Israelis alike are suffering and the humanitarian situation is deteriorating, we will come together again to talk and to listen.

Immerse yourself at the Stratford School of Interaction Design and Business for an insightful discussion moderated by CBC IDEAS host Nahlah Ayed, accompanied by renowned science fiction writer and tech visionary, Cory Doctorow, and tech policy entrepreneur, Vass Bednar. Together, they will delve into the pivotal interplay between imagination, public policy, and advocacy.

Join Sheila Ager, Professor in Classical Studies and Dean of Arts, for this special lecture. Dr. Ager is an expert in Greek history, specializing in the Hellenistic age – the years between the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC and the suicide of Cleopatra in 30 BC. 

Join our annual Celebration of Arts in Hagey Hall Hub. Faculty, staff, students, and alumni are all invited!

Hosted by the Gender & Social Justice program, this event will feature speeches, performances, artwork, food, and more to support social justice programs, community services, and advocacy groups at UWaterloo and beyond.
