We are delighted to announce that Rebecca Rideal has just been appointed as the fourth Jarislowsky Fellow for the Global Engagement Seminar 2021 course: Pandemic. She will offer mentorship and expertise as students develop their final projects.
Rebecca Rideal is an historian of early modern England, and the director of the history festival, HistFest. She is the author of 1666: Plague, War and Hellfire and host of the history podcast Killing Time. As a former television researcher and producer, she developed the Emmy award-winning David Attenborough’s First Life and the BAFTA-winning Flying Monsters with David Attenborough. Rebecca has lectured and tutored at University College London, Bath Spa University and Oxford University.
More students welcome to enroll
We very much look forward to the seminar beginning in January and welcome more students to enroll—spots are available for undergraduates from all Waterloo faculties and colleges. ARTS 490 will be delivered asynchronously primarily by course instructors by Dr. Shannon Majowicz and Dr. Shana MacDonald. The final grade will be evaluated as Credit/No Credit (CR/NCR). Students do not need special permission to add ARTS 490 to their winter course schedule.
Join our team of experts and mentors to investigate multiple perspectives on the pandemic—a global challenge that could not be more timely and relevant.
Please email Rebecca Zehr with any questions or concerns regarding the Global Engagement Seminar.
