Hi everyone! My name is Belen Blizzard and I am Concordia's 2SLGBTQ+ Student Support Coordinator. My office will now be open for peer-support every Wednesday from 12 to 4pm. You're welcome to drop in at any time or email me to schedule an appointment at: 2SLGBTQIcoord@concordia.ca. <br><br>What you can expect: a space of non-judgment and active listening where your feelings and experiences will be honoured. I am here to support 2SLGBTQ+ students and hold space for topics ranging from identity, coming out, sexuality, experiences of homophobia and transphobia (and how they interest with race, disability, and more), and how they transpire in and out of the academic space. I am also equipped to redirect you to resources surrounding name and gender marker change, access to hormone and trans affirmative healthcare, and more. Over all, I aim to provide a space in which 2SLGBTQ+ students feel comfortable and safer in sharing their experiences and seeking support.
To celebrate Open Education Month, Concordia Library is pleased to present a new display highlighting open publishing at the Library and Concordia University Press (CUP).
Cinéma du Musée and Concordia University present a special film series to celebrate 50 years of cinema. This series is part of Concordia’s 50th anniversary, and will be a monthly rendez-vous from September 2024 to May 2025 at Cinéma du Musée. Nine feature films were curated by Dr. Martin Lefebvre, Professor and Research Chair in Film Studies at Concordia’s Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema, and Jean-François Lamarche, Head of programming at Cinémas Beaubien, du Parc et du Musée. The selected films offer a portrait of cinema in 1974 and 1975 in Quebec, in North America and abroad. The mid-’70s were a key period in the evolution of film, as art-house cinema started occupying a greater place amongst the blockbusters of the era. The film cycle showcases films that were critically acclaimed upon release, as well as lesser-known, sometimes forgotten yet influential titles that deserve to be rediscovered by cinephiles. "What became the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema was born at a time when international film culture was extremely rich. Screening the great films that our students and professors discovered while they themselves participated in the development of a film culture in our city seems like the best way to celebrate our 50th anniversary." – Dr. Martin Lefebvre 1974-75 : Cinquante ans de cinéma à Concordia

The keynote speaker argues that sensing entails positioning oneself at the very edge of a phenomenon – inhabiting the liminal – in order to observe a field of rapidly morphing forces. Drawing examples from landscape archaeology to glaciology and environmentally-informed art, she will explore environmental sensing as rhythms, vibrations, bandwidths, resonances, and frequencies that create fluid and liminal sense-impressions of an unresolved natural process, and through it, opportunities for remapping and rephrasing the criss-crossing umwelts of the planetary sensorium.
