During the Winter 2022 Global Engagement Seminar (GES), Hannah Anderson worked as Course and Research Assistant and mentor to the students. As they prepare for the GES Summit on April 4, she shares a bit about her experiences with the seminar, particularly one project that is helping to tell the story of the Grand River through maps.
The Global Engagement Seminar's ARTS 490, The Future of Nature, was among the 975 Faculty of Arts courses that had to pivot to online delivery in mid-March. The class was deep into preparing final team projects that would have been presented at the public Summit held at the Balsillie School in early April. Along with the Summit cancellation, there would also be no public keynotes by the GES mentors, renowned photographer Edward Burtynsky and prolific scholar and expert on socio-political activism Mike Davis.
Please join us for a public lecture by Dr. Kyle Whyte, the Brian Rudrick Visiting Scholar in Philosophy. Dr.
