Events - 2016

The Council of Representatives provides two-way communication between the FAUW Board of Directors and each academic unit at Waterloo. Each department or school selects one faculty member, in whatever way they choose, to act as a liaison between that unit and the Board.

You can approach your representative about any concerns you think should be brought to FAUW's attention at any time.

The council and board meet in person twice a year, in the fall and winter terms, and communicate via email in between.

W³ (Waterloo Women's Wednesdays) is a monthly gathering of woman-identified grad students, post-docs, staff and faculty.

In September Professor Yan Li (East Asian Studies) will present on "The Stuff Left to Lil". Yan Li will share her story of discovering the historical relics left by Dr. Norman Bethune 76 years after his death in China, and her understanding of the national hero in China and controversial figure in his home country of Canada.

Documenting your teaching in a dossier involves harmonizing claims, narrative descriptions of practice, and evidence. This process can be guided by preparing your own teaching philosophy statement, which is a kind of thesis for the argument you wish to make about yourself as a teacher.

St. Jerome's University and the University of Waterloo present a talk by Jennifer Berdahl, PhD.

Jennifer Berdahl examines how various organizations have attempted to deal with gender – from trying to “fix” the women to changing the way that everyone thinks about men and women. Organizations that successfully integrate women, she argues, are more successful than their competitors.

Part of the Gender and Equity Scholarship Series

Speakers: Cayley MacArthur (Games Institute/Systems Design Engineering) and Adam Bradley (English Language and Literature).
