Living Perspectives: Journeys Student Exhibition, May 10-18

ÿÈÕÓ°ÊÓ’s Journey’s Program proudly presents Living Perspectives, an exhibition of selected works from 20 Indigenous students highlighting their research-creation findings through photography, painting, digital illustration, leather making, and more. From photo-documenting the urban moose hide tanning process to building narrative sovereignty through visual storytelling, and completing the hands-on practice of making fish skin leather – these emerging Indigenous creatives are cracking open the colonial pavement.

Humanities Conference in October – Call for Presentations/Papers

This year, the conference will take place from October 21 to October 25, 2024, and the theme will be aesthetics.

The ÿÈÕÓ°ÊÓ Humanities & Public Life Conference is an annual event that introduces CEGEP students to the ambience, culture, and discovery of academic conferences. It provides a bridge between great ideas, new research, and exciting debates, as well as showcasing how the questions we tackle in the humanities are relevant to concrete, real-world situations.

Presentations from all disciplines are welcomed. To make it relevant for our budding conference goers, presentations should reference one or more of the 3 categories of Humanities courses offered at Quebec colleges: Knowledge, World Views and Ethics.

There are 3 formats. A traditional talk or presentation should be around 35–45 minutes long. They will be followed by approximately 15 minutes of questions. The talks should be accessible and engaging for a general audience consisting largely of CEGEP students who have only recently graduated from high school. If you have any doubts about the level of your presentation, please consult Sean Elliott.

Also, we’d like to have performances with an explanation component. What are the ideas that underlie a performance? These performances/talks will be part of the Mind/Body Series at the conference. There is limited space for this series, so apply soon.

Thirdly, they will accept artistic submissions from registered students who want to connect creativity with the content or concepts from their humanities courses. A separate call for submissions has been issued and distributed throughout the college.

Please send a 150-word presentation summary and title, along with a very short bio, to Sean Elliott (selliott@dawsoncollege.qc.ca) by June 21, 2024
