| 3/27/25 |  The world is in crisis – what role should our universities be playing? | It’s hard not to categorize our present global moment as a crisis. And just when we think things can't get worse — they do. At a time when critical conversations in higher education are under attack worldwide, can Canadian universities rise to the challenge and be a force for good? | — | ||||||
| 2/20/25 |  AI-generated influencers: A new wave of cultural exploitation? | By now… you probably know what an “influencer” is – individuals with large, highly engaged social media followings who have the power to sway beliefs and purchasing decisions. But have you heard of virtual influencers? They’re like human influencers… only they’re not human. They’re characters brought to life by CGI and AI, designed to target demographic groups from a first-person perspective | — | ||||||
| 1/23/25 |  Food as a tool of oppression | Food is so much more than what we eat. It is, of course, nourishment — the food we put into our body to fuel ourselves. It can be joyful, like the the smell of pancakes wafting through the house on a Sunday morning, or when loved ones gather around a feast at the dinner table. It can also be deeply personal and defining, connecting us to ancestral history, and cultural and racial identities. And it is also political — especially in the United States — which is the key takeaway in a new book by law scholar Andrea Freeman. | — | ||||||
