Arboretum Workshop: Winter Invertebrates - Cold and Spineless
2020-03-05 13:00 - 16:00 | J.C. Taylor Nature Interpretive Centre
In winter’s frigid grasp, insects, spiders and other invertebrates seem to vanish from the surface of the earth. Knowing what to look for and where to find these hidden creatures make cold-weather expeditions far more enjoyable.
During this half-day program, we will search for goldenrod gallfly larvae and caterpillars that hide in burrs, learn how woolly bears forecast the severity of winter’s blast, and discover a great variety of other “bugs” that are surviving their most challenging season. Photographs, hands-on bio-artifacts, and especially outdoor exploration and discovery will allow participants to become familiar with our cold and spineless neighbours.
Please bring clothing and footwear for trekking in cold and hopefully snowy conditions. A hand lens would also be an asset if you already have one.
Guest Instructor: Dan Schneider
Registration:
Early Bird Fee: $60 on or before Feb. 26.
Regular Fee: $70
Note: If we don’t have enough registrations by the early bird deadline the course may be cancelled. Maximum 18 adults.

Thinking Spaces – Jazz Libre: The Musical-Political Praxis of the Quebec Left
2020-03-12 14:30 - 17:00 | MacKinnon Building, 87 Trent Lane, Guelph, Ontario, Canada
The International Institute for Critical Studies in Improvisation (IICSI) and the University of Guelph Department of History are excited to present historian Eric Fillion. A part of IICSI’s “Thinking Spaces” speaker series, Fillion will showcase his groundbreaking research between 2:30-4 p.m. on March 12 in MacKinnon Building Room 308. A listening session led by Fillion will follow from 4:15 – 5:30 p.m. These events are open to the public and free of charge.
Fillion’s presentation, entitled “Jazz Libre: The Musical-Political Praxis of the Quebec Left,” will explore the work of Jazz Libre, a musical collective formed in 1967 that sought to transform Quebec society in the wake of the Quiet Revolution. During its eight years of existence, Jazz Libre encouraged students, artists, political activists and working families to participate in the liberating experience of free jazz.
A postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto, Fillion has published his research into this distinct moment in Canadian history in his book JAZZ LIBRE et la révolution Québécoise. For this particular research presentation, Fillion has also curated a collection of songs and sounds to complement his talk—a fitting decision for this self-described “instinctive sound archivist, forever eavesdropping on the past.”
Fillion’s presentation is part of the 14th annual Creative Music Symposium (March 9-13), a series of performances, lectures, and forums presented by the Music Students’ Association in the School of Fine Art and Music at the U of G. Taking place across campus and at Silence (46 Essex Street), this year’s symposium focuses on wellness and the future of music.
The keynote for this year’s symposium, presented by Prof. Marta McCarthy, is entitled “Wellness for Musicians in Six Songs.” Other events include a Music Vocational Fair, a workshop on Music Therapy by practicing music therapist Mary Parkinson, and several presentations from graduate students in the Critical Studies in Improvisation graduate programs. The full schedule for the Creative Music Symposium can be found online.
More information about Eric Fillion’s presentation and listening session can be found on the IICSI’s website.

CBG Seminar Series: Community-Based Research with Indigenous Peoples - Notes and Reflections
2020-03-13 11:30 - 12:30 | Centre for Biodiversity Genomics, Ontario, Canada
Thomas Mcllwraith is a cultural anthropologist in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, University of Guelph. He conducts research with Indigenous communities and individuals in British Columbia. Together with communities, Mcllwraith works to document territory, understand food and resource harvesting practices, and to help Elders and families prepare life histories. His work also includes an effort to understand the attitudes and biases that underpin consulting anthropology projects such as land use and occupancy studies, particularly in the contexts of unceded territories and Indigenous rights. Recently, he has partnered with the Canadian Camping Association to help address issues related to cultural appropriation at children’s summer camps.
“In this talk I will describe my work as a community-based anthropologist in British Columbia. I will describe some of the recent developments at the University of Guelph around ethical research practices with Indigenous communities and groups. And, I will open a discussion around the implications of community-engaged research and Guelph’s current community-based research directions for Arctic Biodiversity (ArcBio).”
Seminars:
The Centre for Biodiversity Genomics Science Seminar Series is intended to provide a forum for the CBG researchers to present their work and to share new findings and ideas with their colleagues. We also encourage our visiting scientists and collaborators from different U of G departments to participate and present in this seminar series. We believe that this initiative will foster collaboration within CBG and with a wider community of researchers interested in biodiversity genomics. The seminars will be held in the CBG Visualization Theatre (Room 1009) every second Friday, 11:30-12:30 pm, starting January 31, 2020.
If you are a faculty member, postdoctoral fellow, or visiting researcher and are interested in sharing your research in a 30-45 minute presentation at the Biodiversity Seminar Series please contact one of the coordinators on our website.
We accept submissions for talks on an ongoing basis.

Join guest instructor Trevor Chandler inside his planetarium for this amazing program (families welcome and encouraged).
The red planet Mars will be well positioned for observation in fall 2020. In advance of this opportunity, this show provides an opportunity to explore the some of the basic scientific facts that have been discovered about one of our closest space neighbors. We’ll begin by reviewing what is meant by the terms “planet” and “orbit.”
From there, we’ll go on to learn how to recognize Mars (and other planets) in the night sky before reviewing some of Mars’ physical characteristics. Mars appears to have once been a lot like Earth, with oceans and a dense atmosphere, but then it all went horribly wrong. Much of what we have learned about Mars has come from robotic missions, which seem to give rise to as many questions as are answered.
SEATING ARRANGEMENTS: The planetarium dome is 5 m in diameter. It is a small but intimate space and therefore necessary to be seated on the floor during the presentation. A small foam cushion is provided. For those with mobility issues, the dome is wheelchair accessible and chair seating can be made available for up to three guests if requested in advance.

Registration:
Fee: $15 per person PLUS a $10 fee per transaction (you can register multiple people per transaction and multiple planetarium programs per transaction). All registrants under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

We will review definitions of star, planet, moon and orbit, as well as the associated sizes, distances, and scales.
We’ll look into the motions of the Earth, sun and our moon and how they cause the Earth’s moon cycles through phases. The first 30 minutes of the program will be spent outside of the dome working with physical models of the Earth, sun and moon to help understand what we see in the sky.
SEATING ARRANGEMENTS: The planetarium dome is 5 m in diameter. It is a small but intimate space and therefore necessary to be seated on the floor during the presentation.
