Schooling for Fascism with Jason Stanley McMaster Humanities 2023-11-03 | Across the world, we see attacks on education systems from right wing nationalist leaders and parties, and new education systems put into place that rewrite history to extol the dominant majority. It is no different in the United States, where book bans and attacks on minority perspectives are advanced under the banner of “parental control.” By placing these attacks in transnational and historical perspective, I will argue that they are in fact fascist frontal assaults on democracy.November 2, 2023 at 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Writing While Exhausted: Creative Writing Strategies for Caregivers McMaster Humanities 2023-10-18 | No matter what type of care work you're immersed in, this 75-minute webinar will help you weave writing into your life as a source of joy and creative expression -- not just another item on your to-do list. No previous writing experience required. Get up early. Write at the same time every day. Hit that daily word count target... no matter what. When you're a caregiver, conventional creative writing advice can feel off-the-rails incompatible with the practical realities of daily life -- and perpetuate the unpleasant, ever-present sensation of not doing enough. In this 75-minute webinar, we'll discuss the inner barriers (fear, shame, guilt) and outer ones (lack of time, space and support) that can hold us back from creative expression. Together, we'll craft a new vision for what it means to be both writer and caregiver -- a vision that will delight, inform, and nourish your creative self. You'll come away from this webinar with... - Concrete, shame-free strategies for weaving writing into your daily life as a caregiver - A new approach to artistic resistance that transmutes feelings of fear and guilt into creative gold - A step-by-step plan for cultivating a supportive creative community - A set of captivating writing prompts to guide you forward on the page All caregivers welcome -- no previous writing experience necessary.
