Recipes and stories come together to work as partners in storytelling, evoking the places, people, and emotions behind them. What histories do our recipes tell? How do they function as vehicles of memory and transmission of knowledge? What more can we learn from these recipes and community members, beyond the kitchen and the plate?
Often what comes to mind when we read or hear the word ‘activism,’ are images of protests, placards, mass mobilizations in the streets, blockades, petitions, raised fists, and megaphones. These images convey resistance, moral anger, and messages of change. However, underneath all that is an invisible layer of organizing, strategizing, and planning – the actions of people voluntarily working together, collectively holding a structure that enables them to target key issues for change. It is this ‘invisible layer’ that forms the focus of inquiry of my doctoral research. How these groups voluntarily design their ways of working together and what keeps them together over time. This in turn present a paradox: for activist groups to be most effective at fighting for change externally, they must nurture relational ways of being internally. This paradox introduce an inherent tension – to fight, they must care. Care here relates to the ability for these groups to sustain eachother over time in order to achieve their aim. This manifests as the invisible labour of food preparation, conflict resolution, emotional and interpersonal support, and caring for a movement's tired or burnt-out members. These acts are essential to what can be called the care work of sustaining a group, yet are often unacknowledged (Dixon, 2014). This interactive conversation will explore the role that practices of care plays within the dynamics of socio-political group, and how we might make interdisciplinary connections to fields such as design, science and technology studies and the social movement research might redefine the way we understand organizations in general. It will present the ongoing doctoral research and invite others to share their own experiences.
The workshop explores gender diversity and AI, encouraging people to think critically about how gender is represented in technology and how we can create a more inclusive future.

Explore how hardware-assisted security can help verify AI system compliance without exposing sensitive information. As artificial intelligence becomes more widely used, governments are introducing regulations to ensure AI systems are fair, trustworthy and accountable. But how can we verify that these systems meet those requirements? Join us for the Gina Cody School Distinguished Speaker Series, featuring N. Asokan, University Professor at the University of Waterloo. Asokan will explore new methods for verifying properties of AI systems that can help assess regulatory compliance while protecting sensitive information.

In the busyness of university life, it can be easy to focus on what is missing, stressful, or uncertain. This interactive workshop invites you to explore gratitude as a practice that can support well-being, resilience, and connection. Through guided reflection, discussion, and simple activities, we'll consider what gratitude means, how it shows up in our daily lives, and how cultivating it can deepen our relationships with ourselves, others, and the world around us.
