For three weeks in May - June 2019, the University of Guelph is offering USA Field School classes in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. 

Explore the visual and built environments of two cities whose distinct geographical circumstances and histories have shaped urban development and, in turn, fundamentally informed the art and artistic representation of each. Learn through first-hand encounters with researchers, artists, and cultural figures at various sites, museums and galleries.

The Philosophy Field Course is a unique experiential learning opportunity for undergraduates. We will be visiting Tofino, BC from May 20-30, in 2019. During their visit, students will engage with various environmental stakeholders including Fish Farm managers, environmentalists, logging operators, and First Nations representatives. We will investigate environmental issues from each of these perspectives and explore opportunities for cooperation. More info is available on the course website.

Andrew Bailey has edited a new anthology, The Broadview Introduction to Philosophy. Coming soon.

From the blurb:

From 8 pm until 2 am on Friday, January 18th and into the early hours of a frosty Saturday morning, the College of Arts, along with the Art Gallery of Guelph, hosted an extraordinary event with some 20 presenters and performers in a packed program featuring a sampling of the College's  best research, literature, music, and button making, too!

Presenters took the stage before what was often a standing room only crowd who came out to walk a (slightly) red carpet and be interviewed by volunteer student paparazzi on their way in to the main event.

Congratulations to Alexandra Hartstone for the publication of her essay, "Framing Narratives and the Curatorial through Other Media: the 2018 São Paulo Biennial" in the latest issue of CMA (The Comparative Media Arts) Journal. Well done, Alexandra!
