| Series Name | Series Description |
|---|---|
| J.V. Clyne Lectures at Green College, UBC: Indigenous Resurgence and Colonial Fingerprints in the 21st Century |
Hosted for Green College by Michelle Good, author of Five Little Indians (Harper Perennial, 2020), this series brings into sharp focus the structural and systemic colonialism that is slowing but cannot stop the wave of Indigenous resurgence now transforming the Canadian cultural and political andscape. The presenters offer critical perspectives on the challenge of reconciliation and the factors standing in its way. |
| J.V. Clyne Lectures at Green College, UBC: That a Beginning Be Made: A Rule of Law for Our New Age of Anxiety |
We live in a time when it really does seem that there is an epidemic of anxiety. Three worries stand out: nationalist populism, the impact of globalization, and fear of disruptive technologies. Drawing on a rich heritage of classical, pragmatist and practice-focussed thought, we have the resources to address those anxieties. As part of that effort, we must strengthen a modest version of the rule of law. Current undermining of the rule of law imperils our societies. |

| Senior Scholars' Series: Intergenerational Effects of Psychological Trauma (in partnership with the UBC Emeritus College) |
Convenor: Marvin Westwood, Educational and Counselling Psychology, and Special Education; Judith Hall, Pediatrics and Medical Genetics; Richard Vedan, School of Social Work Presentations in this series will reflect a broad range of populations and social cultural contexts in which a traumatic injury is intergenerationally transmitted to descendants of the person(s) originally injured. The aim of the series is to make a broad comparison of cases and perspectives from different settings so that researchers can learn from each other and discover what kinds of support systems are most likely to help recovery and restore resilience for those affected.
