In this workshop, we will collaborate to address the ableist attitudes, policies, and practices that are built into higher education. We will also interrogate the minimal and temporary means we have been given to address inequities, and the cost such an approach has for disabled students and faculty. Finally, we will explore how to design our own classrooms, in advance, in ways that anticipate and welcome different avenues for learning, means of expression, and modes of knowledge-creation.

English Professor Andew McMurry joins Dean of Arts Douglas Peers and colleages from other departments to discuss the current state of the Bullet of Atomic Scientists' Doomsday Clock and to understand the real threats and possible actions for turning back the clock.

Dr. Christine Bold, Professor of English and Killam Research Fellow, University of Guelph, will give a talk at UWaterloo, “Indigenous Performers, Vaudeville, and Building Relations of Research Exchange.”

As the University of Guelph writes: “Indigenous Performers, Vaudeville, and Building Relations of Research Exchange” is part of “a research project that [Bold] says upends long-held notions of the role Native peoples played in the popular culture of the late 1800s and early 1900s.
