Now starring on Canal Savoir

The fifth season of Canal Savoir’s magazine show Campus, which showcases Quebec’s universities and their research production, contains several reports and capsules featuring Concordia University’s students and faculty.

 

The first episode features Vice-Provost, Teaching and Learning, Ollivier Dyens speaking about his latest book Enfanter l’inhumain. Le refus du vivant, which looks at how humans exist within their world, and how biological and technological entities interact. 

 

The show’s fourth episode features a capsule on music therapy. Guylaine Vaillancourt, an assistant professor in Concordia’s Department of Creative Arts Therapies, speaks about how music can be used to treat people with specific conditions, healing them and giving them hope. Viewers will also meet two practicing musical therapists enrolled in the master’s program at Concordia. 

 

A third report from Concordia, in the seasons’ sixth episdode, focuses on Studio 7, a regular variety show put on by Concordia’s Department of Contemporary Dance. Studio 7 is a chance for students in the department and in other complementary artistic disciplines to present their work to the public. Some of the work is still in progress, and the informal show provides students with a forum to explore and discuss their projects with an audience.

 

The season’s eighth episode features a report on the success of Space Concordia, a student-run astronautical engineering group. A team of undergraduate students from Space Concordia recently won first place in the inaugural Canadian Satellite Design Challenge, earning them the right to have their design sent into space.

 

Episodes from the fifth season of Campus are viewable on the Canal Savoir website. Some of them will also be broadcast on the Canal Savoir channel over the next few months. 

 

Another show on Canal Savoir, produced by students in the Department of Journalism, will be broadcast on different dates throughout the month of May, while a show produced by students in Concordia’s Department of Communication Studies will be broadcast several times in June.

 

Concordia’s Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema has its own show on Canal Savoir, as well. The documentary episodes of the show will be broadcast throughout May, and the “experimental” episodes in June.
