Staying connected with CU at Home
Concordia professor Vivek Venkatesh, MA 03, PhD 08, is the UNESCO Co-Chair in Prevention of Radicalization and Violent Extremism and Director of the Centre for the Study of Learning and Performance.
In response to COVID-19, Concordia launched CU at Home to help our community stay engaged, active and connected. The initiative, which kicked off in March, includes virtual events, family activities, workshops, webinars and more — designed by our community, for our community. Learn about some of the events that took place in spring and summer.
Navigating career changes during the pandemic, a two-part webinar series hosted by Jessica Gohier, BA 09, founder of Profilia CV, to help navigate the challenges of job-hunting during the pandemic.
Learn Irish Dancing, a two-part series hosted by Irish dancer Lucas Lawton, BA 17, to teach basic jigs and reels for participants of all ages and skill levels. This workshop was created to prepare attendees for the President’s Homecoming Céilí on September 11.
PROFILE: A tool kit against racism and bias, a webinar hosted by Concordia professor Vivek Venkatesh, MA 03, PhD 08, drawing from the PROFILE tool kit — a practical guide against racism and bias designed to address systematic racial and social profiling — to better understand why society is at a collective impasse over profiling.
COVID-19 vs. the economy, a Q&A session with nationally renowned expert Moshe Lander, senior lecturer in Concordia’s Department of Economics, to examine the risks of reopening provinces too early during the pandemic.
Create with Navy, two 45-minute workshops hosted by Navy Chadsey, BFA 17, designed for families to have fun learning to paint together. Under Chadsey’s guidance, attendees tackled a field of wildflowers, a vibrant mountainscape and a colourful bumblebee.
