Co-curated by Jane Tingley, professor in the Department of Fine Arts, INTERACTION is an exhibition that explores how Canadian artists and designers are engaging the public through interactivity. The presented works are both material art objects as well as interactive systems that are designed to be realized by an active viewer, one that co-creates, participates, and engages rather than passively consuming media.

The Department of English Language and Literature is proud to present a talk by Dr. Peter Walmsley, Chair of English and Cultural Studies at McMaster University.

The first Bridges lecture in 2018 will explore how humans have sought to make the Arctic legible (to borrow the phrase of James C. Scott), from pre-contact Inuit understandings of space and time, through the practices and instruments of European maritime explorers, through the introduction of aviation and the refinement of Arctic air navigation, to the age of satellites.

The Department of Classical Studies is proud to present a lecture by Colin Wallace, doctoral candidate, Department of Geography and Environmental Management, University of Waterloo. 

Through interactive exercises, this three hour workshop will provide men with the tools to become better versions of themselves. The dominant idea of manhood affects us all. More and more men are beginning to stand up and speak out about their desire to redefine what it means to be a man today.

Please join us at Renison University College for a panel discussion on Race, Gender, and the University. Presented in partnership with HeForShe, the panel will address questions like: What does it mean to be a racialized woman in higher education today? How does gender and racial injustice define the university? What does it mean to decolonize the university based on gender equity?

The Indigenous Speakers Series proudly presents professor of history Susan M. Hill, author of The Clay We Are Made Of. If we want to understand Haudenosaunee (Six Nations) history, we need to consider the history of Haudenosaunee land. For countless generations prior to European contact, land and territory informed Haudenosaunee thought and philosophy, and was a primary determinant of Haudenosaunee identity.
