Having written extensively on the enlightenment, moral philosophy, metaphysics, and politics, Neiman's work shows that philosophy is a living force for contemporary thinking and action. In her new book Left is Not Woke, Neiman argues that the concept of ”wokeism” conflicts with the foundational ideals of universalism that have guided the left for over 200 years.

Foragers depicts the dramas around the practice of foraging for wild edible plants in Palestine/Israel with wry humour and a meditative pace.  Shot in the Golan Heights, the Galilee, and Jerusalem, it employs fiction, documentary, and archival footage to portray the impact of Israeli nature protection laws on these customs. By reframing the terms and constraints of preservation, the film raises questions around the politics of extinction, namely who determines what is made extinct and what gets to live on.

Following the film, there will be a panel discussion about the ways in which occupation and colonialism have disrupted traditional ways of life—including traditional methods of foraging, hunting, and fishing. The panel will consider the ways in which Indigenous communities continue to be affected by colonial policies, the parallels between the occupation in Palestine and colonialism in Canada, and how Indigenous communities can reclaim their food sovereignty.

Featuring:

• Laurie Hermiston. A dynamic Indigenous leader with 20 years of experience in program, project and policy design, community engagement, and the creation and implementation of strategic plans and organizational development.

With 24-hour news, the need to uncover truth fast and first can lead to dangerous outcomes, invasion of privacy, misrepresentation, trauma, and injury. This critical conversation will delve into the complexities, issues and realities of reporting crime, specifically as it pertains to representing criminals and those affected by crime and the media’s role in reporting on crime on a wide scale.

Join top legal scholar Kent Roach and award-winning journalist Tamara Cherry for an enlightening conversation. Cherry’s book Trauma Beat is a groundbreaking combination of investigative journalism and memoir, and a thorough examination of the trauma caused by the media’s coverage of crimes. Cherry will speak to her own documentation of those who were forced to suffer on the public stage, exposing a system set up to fail trauma survivors and journalists alike. Roach will speak about the themes in his own book Wrongfully Convicted, offering his expertise on Canada’s national tragedy of wrongful convictions and how anyone could be caught up in them. Roach’s work reveals how the burden of wrongful convictions falls disproportionately on the disadvantaged, including Indigenous and racialized people, those with cognitive issues, single mothers and the poor.

During the event, Adrian Hayles will be documenting the conversation with a set of loose, court-room style portraits of speakers.

Featuring:

• Tamara Cherry is a Regina-based award-winning journalist, trauma researcher and media commentator who spent nearly 15 years reporting on crime in Canada’s biggest newsrooms.

As the true crime phenomena becomes continually more prevalent, it offers the opportunity of reinterpreting historical narratives and giving voice to previously marginalized, misrepresented voices. Canadian authors Susan Goldenberg, Sharon Anne Cook and Margaret Carson explore class, gender representation and how prejudice leads to miscarriages of justice in this fascinating critical conversation, moderated by author and podcaster Catherine Fogarty.

Goldenberg’s book Deadly Triangle focusses on the 1935 trial of Alma Rattenbury and her chauffeur George Percy Stoner for the murder of Alma’s husband – a trial which became one of the 20th century’s most sensational cases, sparking widespread debate over sexual mores and social strata distinctions. Cook and Carson co-authored The Castledon Massacre, which painstakingly traces the causes of a 1963 massacre by a former United Church minister who murdered four women and two unborn babies in his own family. Carson, the eldest of two children who survived the Castleton massacre, contributes to the book’s extensive oral history. Situated in literature on domestic abuse and mass murders, the book questions what led to this act of femicide, and why the victims were forgotten.

During the event, Adrian Hayles will be documenting the conversation with a set of loose, court-room style portraits of speakers.

Featuring:

• Margaret Carson is the eldest of two children who survived the Castleton massacre. A retired college instructor, she is accomplished in creating and adapting workplace programs as well as classroom delivery. She lives in Mississippi Mills, Ontario.
• Sharon Anne Cook is a distinguished professor emerita at the University of Ottawa. She is the author and editor of 12 books on Canadian women’s history. The recipient of many teaching awards, she teaches graduate courses in the history of education. She lives in Ottawa.

Originally trained as a social worker, Fogarty holds a BA in sociology/anthropology, an MA in social work, an MA in social work, an MBA in human resource management and an MFA in creative non-fiction writing.
• Susan Goldenberg is the author of 10 books and the winner of a Canadian Authors Award. She has written for Canadian and American newspapers and currently pens articles for Canada’s History magazine. She lives in Toronto.

The relationship between the law and people living with mental health illness is complex. There are many misconceptions about mental illnesses and a poor understanding of how people with serious mental health issues wind up in the criminal justice system. Although the vast majority of people living with mental health and addictions conditions rarely come into contact with the criminal justice system, there is an over-representation of them in Canadian courts and correctional/remand facilities.

When incarcerated, they often face a variety of challenges that can worsen their symptoms, resulting in a population that exhibits substantially higher mental health concerns than in the general population, and with reduced access to critically needed health services.

Justice activist and former probation and parole officer Katie Almond, defence lawyer Ranney Hintsa, developmental justice case manager Melissa McMillan and forensic psychiatrist Derek Pallandi will come together for an expert discussion on how, government, communities, police and social service providers must work closely together to protect those who are vulnerable from entering the criminal justice system; and address the social determinants of health to prevent a repetitive cycle from occurring.

During the event, Adrian Hayles will be documenting the conversation with a set of loose, court-room style portraits of speakers.

Featuring:
