In celebration of Black History Month, please join us for an engaging discussion with Dr. Myrna Lashley, recognized clinical, teaching and research authority in cultural psychology and consultant to many institutions, nationally and internationally. This event will explore the stigma and current state of Black mental health in Canada, highlighting both best practices and the biases that shape clinical care. Through real-life examples, we’ll examine how Black individuals navigating psychological concerns may experience dismissal, gaslighting, or misinterpretation of their symptoms—often rooted in systemic and practitioner-level bias. We will also discuss how clinicians’ assumptions can influence diagnosis and treatment, particularly when lived experiences of racism are minimized or overlooked. The session will conclude with a conversation on resources, community-based supports, and alternative mental-health pathways that better serve Black communities. Lunch will be provided to in-person attendees at noon. The event is a collaboration between the McGill University Department of Family Medicine’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee and Concordia University’s Black Perspectives Office.

Course Title: AI-Augmented Creativity Course Description: This project-based studio course prepares students to integrate generative AI into professional creative workflows as a collaborative tool, not a substitute for authorship. Moving beyond simple prompting, students will learn to use AI to explore divergent directions, generate raw material, and accelerate iteration, while maintaining rigorous professional standards. Through reading and discussion, students will develop a strong understanding of how to think through bias mitigation, provenance and copyright, and develop an ethical framework for their AI augmented creative practice. The curriculum operationalizes a Human → AI → Human workflow. Students will conduct structured experimentation using AI to produce unexpected ideas, variations, and cross disciplinary concepts, then apply disciplined curation, editing, and refinement to ensure that human intent, taste, and decision making remain the driving force of the work. Projects are tailored to each student’s discipline (film, design, media arts, scenography, dramaturgy, music composition, etc.), with an emphasis on repeatable methods that can be applied in real production environments. Key Pedagogical Pillars: ● Process Control: Prioritizing curation over generation by “sandwiching” AI output between human ideation and human finishing. ● Aesthetic Literacy: Training students to recognize and override default model aesthetics and biases to achieve distinctive, author-driven work. ● Applied Ethics: Treating copyright, bias mitigation, and provenance as practical production competencies—embedded in the pipeline, not discussed only in theory.

Zines are an accessible, easy to assemble publishing format with a rich history of activism, counterculture, and creativity. They can contain writing, artwork, and collage on any subject and have been embraced by communities as wide ranging as science fiction fans, comic book artists and feminist punk movements. This introductory workshop is open to anyone in any discipline curious about zines and zine-making. In addition to playing with the analogue processes involved in traditional zine-making, we will also explore ways of integrating emerging technologies like the tools available in the Technology Sandbox. Have a specific idea for a zine you want to make? That’s great! If not, we’ll have some prompts ready to help you brainstorm ideas. By the end of the workshop, you will be able to plan your zine’s layout and combine a mix of media techniques to create its contents. You will be able to start the process of creating a zine that can be completed in the workshop or continued afterwards. Materials for creating the content of zines will be provided, but we encourage participants to bring their own collage supplies, decorative paper, printed texts, stickers, and other materials should they wish to.
