The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) has launched a new seminar series, Quantum Nano Collision (QNC) Seminar Series, to deepen the engagement of the Waterloo researchers who work at the interface of quantum and nanotechnologies. This seminar series will also provide opportunities for senior graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and research associates to present their innovative work along with the faculty members to bring together the excitement around these cutting-edge technologies that would shape our future.

Join the virtual President’s Forum for a conversation with President Vivek Goel as he shares his perspectives and opportunities for the University.  

In this workshop, we’ll focus on researching your ideas. After this session, you’ll be able to: articulate research questions about your problem space, identify key library resources and freely available sources that will help with your market and industry research and articulate remaining gaps in your research.

This is an event for all members of the UWaterloo Indigenous campus community, including students, staff, faculty, alumni and retirees. Your families and partners are welcome as well!

We would like to cordially invite you to an exhibition by Ukrainian students “War in life, life in war” hosted by Science Museums and Galleries from the Faculty of Science. On Wednesday, October 5th from 12:30-1:30 pm, Ukrainian students will attend the exhibit in the STC atrium to tell us stories about the resilience and resistance of Ukrainian people, show pictures from their hometowns and home universities, and share their first-hand experiences with the war being waged on their country by Russia. Coffee and Ukrainian treats will be provided.

In this talk, we will explore the connections between Miranda Fricker’s work on epistemic injustice and the ways that it can manifest in academic settings. We will focus on the relation between epistemic injustice and social privilege, highlighting the ways in which epistemic injustice directly contributes to ongoing gender inequity. Finally, we will offer some ways in which we might work toward greater gender equity and what our personal responsibilities for collective injustice might consist in.
