The Winegard Visiting Lectureship in Physics with Dr. Donna Strickland
2023-03-16 18:00 - 20:00 | Athletics Centre, 150 Reynolds Walk, Guelph, Ontario, Canada
Join us for the Winegard Visiting Lectureship in Physics with Dr. Donna Strickland, Professor and Nobel Prize laureate, for a lecture on nonlinear optics to high-intensity laser physics.
The laser increased the intensity of light that can be generated by orders of magnitude and thus brought about nonlinear optical interactions with matter. Chirped pulse amplification, also known as CPA, changed the intensity level by a few more orders of magnitude and helped usher in a new type of laser-matter interaction that is referred to as high-intensity laser physics.
Dr. Donna Strickland is a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Waterloo and is one of the laureate of the Nobel Prize in Physics 2018 for developing chirped pulse amplification with Gérard Mourour.
Registration required by March 9.

Making Space for Progress: Internationalizing the University as Social Justice
2023-03-22 12:00 - 13:30 | Interdisciplinary Hub – MacKinnon 019, University of Guelph MacKinnon Bldg, Guelph, N1G 2W1
The University of Guelph’s Strategic Refresh highlights the commitment of the university to “further international relationships” as a part of its overall pillar of community connection. The University has also taken measures to advance and entrench equity, diversity and inclusion into its core values and deliverables.
The Teaching and Learning Hub welcomes guest speaker Marsha Hinds Myrie to aide us to contemplate the implications and possibilities of those intersections and offers an innovation of academic internationalization praxis undergirded by social justice.
This is a hybrid event. Register to attend via Zoom here.
Marsha Hinds Myrie looks to the literature resulting from the study of universities’ involvement in the enterprises of African and Indigenous dehumanization and student led justice movements. Beyond highlighting the errors of the past and the passionate demands of students we begin to think about futures and how these can be constructed making space for expanded epistemologies and new relational pathways.
Hinds Myrie’s life and work are an embodiment of dualities and intersections. She is a Barbadian/Canadian citizen with an ancestral, cultural and intellectual home in Africa. Her career unfolds, sometimes spectacularly and sometimes confusingly at the intersections of activism and education with research being a forced endeavour to maintain the grace of the academy.
Hinds Myrie is the President’s Gender Equity Committee postdoctoral fellow with a focus on women’s leadership at the University of Guelph and the immediate past president of the National Organization of Women of Barbados. She spent 22 years developing an advocacy model to address the issues of underprivileged groups of women in Barbados and the Commonwealth Caribbean. The major focus of the work is to develop and encourage the use of victim defined services for women and girls affected by various types of gender-based violence while at the same time removing the burden of eradicating violence from women and victims by forcing a stronger lobby in policy spaces.
The philosophical mooring for Marsha’s interaction with equity work come partly out of her PhD research which focused on the ways in which political and cultural experiences shaped the development and creation of intellectual spaces and intellectual thought in Commonwealth Caribbean tertiary institutions. The epistemological valleys that create disciplines in the Western academy are still immensely uncomfortable for Hinds Myrie but if forced she would classify her work as womanism, Black Studies, philosophy as praxis and intellectual history.

HPC Physical Well-being Series: Working Through Menopause

Vocal Health First Aid: How to Protect Your Vocal Cords
2023-03-23 12:00 - 13:00 | ONLINE, Ontario, Canada
Did you know a high-voice user speaks at least 4 hours a day? In our job, at home, and while we speak throughout our day, it is easy to be a medium (2-4 hours) or high (4-6 hours) voice user – especially if we are in a job role that requires teaching, facilitating, and frequent speaking in meetings throughout the day.
Yet, we do not think about the health of our vocal cords when even something such as wearing a mask or having reduced lung capacity can impact our voice.
In this session about vocal hygiene we will learn about:

What our vocal cords do
How to take care of our voice and warm up our vocal cords before long periods of speaking
Side effects of not taking proper care of our vocal cords
Participant questions will be answered

Register now! You can submit questions when you register that will be answered during the talks. We look forward to this enlightening discussion with you!
