The Indigenous Speakers Series is honoured to present katherena vermette, a Michif (Red River Métis) award-winning writer from Treaty 1 territory, the heart of the Métis Nation, Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Divided postwar Berlin was home to people of different non-binary genders. They found or made spaces for living dignified lives, even in the deeply queerphobic societies of Cold War Germany. In her talk, Andrea Rottmann will introduce us to some of them and to the pleasures and problems of writing their histories.

All are welcome to join the annual Desmarais Family Summit — an interactive exhibition that gives our Global Engagement students the unique opportunity to share their research projects on this year’s theme, “Finding our Future City.”

Join us for an engaging discussion with Tess Chakkalakal, author of A Matter of Complexion: The Life and Fictions of Charles W. Chesnutt, as she speaks with moderator Dr. Vay.

This talk will explore how a reproductive justice framework can inform our thinking about abortion, and bodily autonomy more generally, in the current authoritarian context of the United States.

Join this Critical Tech Talk Pop-Up event to hear Anne Pasek, CRC in Media, Culture and the Environment at Trent University. 

In this workshop co-directed by Anne Pasek, Marcel O’Gorman, and Adan Jerreat-Poole, participants will work in groups to build a small solar power station and write/design a future worldbuilding scenario for its deployment. 

Professor Ian Rowlands will give a talk about the deployment of solar panels on the top of Waterloo’s EV3 building, placing this within the context of solar energy policy and use in Ontario more broadly.

Join the Critical Tech Talk series for a talk exploring how “vibe coding”, a flexible, intuition-driven approach to prototyping, can empower people from non-computing backgrounds to shape the medical tools they actually need.

The Global Engagement Seminar Speaker Series presents a talk with Trust & Safety professional Sabrina Ahmad.
