On parle rarement de traduction dans la pratique journalistique. Pourtant elle est partout! La journée sera consacré au rôle primordial que joue la traduction en journalisme et à la manière dont elle intervient dans la médiation du message, que ce soit par la contextualisation culturelle, les stratégies représentationnelles et la manipulation idéologique. // Translation is rarely acknowledged in journalism. And yet translation is everywhere! The event will focus on the critical role of translation in journalism and on the ways in which it mediates the message, be it through cultural contextualization, representational strategies, or ideological manipulation.

The next wave of human-computer interaction technology includes augmented reality (AR) head-mounted displays (HMDs). While controllers remain the most common way to interact in virtual reality (VR), most AR (and some VR) HMDs are including midair gesture interactions, where the user extends their arm to interact with the virtual scene. Midair gestures are more intuitive for users than controllers but cause fatigue. Microgestures are a different type of interaction because they are small, discreet gestures. Microgestures may be performed as a primary or secondary task (done concurrently with another gesture or primary task). For example, a primary task may be annotating a 3D plot, and a secondary task may be changing the font size of the plot’s text. Microgestures are intended to be helpful in hands-on situations, such as working in a kitchen, workshop, office, or whenever a person’s hands are preoccupied. Microgesture interaction can be used for interruptions to primary tasks [3, 90, 116]. Microgestures have been shown to be efficient and effective for direct and subtle interaction with modern computing systems. A simple visual example of a microgesture is using the volume control on a car steering wheel, where the driver uses a thumb to push upward or downward without moving their hand from the steering wheel. In HMDs, a similar microgesture would be the thumb and the index finger rubbing together to control a virtual volume knob. What should microgestures look like in AR? Currently, there is no definitive answer, especially for complex 3D environments like those found in Immersive Analytics (Immersive 3D Data Visualization). The talk will concentrate on Dr. Ortega's prior work on AR interaction, and the PI will make a case for the importance of microgestures.

A talk by Selina Makana, assistant professor of African History at University of Memphis, in conversation with CISSC visiting scholar Maninho Domingos da Cruz.

In this free public lecture, Kristin Andrews will discuss social norms as a socially maintained pattern of behavioral conformity within a community and offer methods for studying social norms in wild and captive primate populations.

Learn how to feel confident and practice the core elements of self-compassion. This workshop is open to all Concordia faculty, staff and students.

Drawing on the work of Charles Mills on race and of Susan Babbitt on gender, as well as the speaker's own on eugenics and disability, this talk raises questions about philosophy's boundaries, history, sociology, and community engagement. The hope is for the talk to spark some constructive thinking about how the future need not be like the past.

Professor Angele Alook will be discussing her film, "It is Broken" which documents Bigstone Cree Nation members' experiences of resource-extraction projects and activity within the First Nation's traditional territory.

This workshop is designed to bring awareness to current and future researchers of the impact of research on Indigenous communities, collectives and organizations. Discussion topics include: access to communities; data management; Indigenous perspectives on and experiences with research; OCAP principles; intellectual property rights; and Indigenous research ethics and protocols. Participants will be invited to reflect on respectful and mutually beneficial ways to conduct research. They will also explore ways to facilitate Indigenous participation in research, building Indigenous research capacity and adequately preparing graduate students before they undertake research on Indigenous people and/or in their communities.
