Dear UWaterloo Theatre and Performance community,

W³ (Waterloo Women's Wednesdays)

Kim Hong Nguyen, a faculty member in the Communication Arts Department, is the Lead Faculty Representative for the Waterloo Women's Wednesdays group.

W³ (Waterloo Women's Wednesdays) is a gathering (and mailing list) of women and non-binary grad students, post-docs, staff and faculty that meets on the last Wednesday of each month.

Waterloo professors shares some of their favourite reads for Black History Month.

“The process of the filmmaking is an important learning and collaboration experience. Not only were the students getting involved with real world projects, but they also worked closely with Indigenous scholars and artists who are at the front line of decolonization.”  - Prof. Aynur Kadir

Communication is about making meaning, says Professor Robert Danisch, department chair of Communication Arts. “You make meaning by producing effects on others. So, it’s about how to produce the right kinds of effects to convey your message or ideas.” In fact, he's making effects on students of communication in the classroom and beyond with a toolbox of learning resources, including his podcast series, Now We’re Talking.
