Whether you are designing a new course or updating a current one, Library Course Resource pages provide a centralized location for students to access a wide variety of course content.

These pages are hosted within Blackboard and the layout can be customized to the structure of your course.

It doesn’t matter if you already have a reading list you’d like to make fully accessible online or you are curious about how the Library’s databases, eBooks and videos can be used to reimagine your course content, our team will work with you to find what you need and build the page for you.

A key benefit of using library resources is that they are licensed for teaching and class use. We can also provide guidance on what is available in the growing world of open access content. Utilizing these resources can lead to fewer additional learning resources students need to pay for.

When:
May 27, 2019

I am delighted to announce that Jenna Donelson is joining Humber as the college’s new Manager, Public Affairs. Her first day at Humber is on Wednesday, May 29.

Jenna will play a key role in developing and implementing government relations strategies as well as helping to support community partnerships at the Lakeshore campus. She will be working from both the North and Lakeshore campuses, as well as representing the college at events and consultations.

Jenna is a public policy professional with a decade of experience in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors. She has led many strategic projects, including initiatives to increase the representation of women on corporate boards and a first-of-its-kind Ontario financial technology (FinTech) strategy.

Most recently, Jenna served as Head of Policy Development and Regulatory Affairs at Lending Loop, Canada’s first peer-to-peer FinTech company. In her role, she worked with industry, governments and regulators to enable new forms of technology that make important investment products more accessible and easily understood. She also worked with various partners to help find solutions to the access-to-financing gap faced by small businesses across the country.

Prior to joining Lending Loop, Jenna was a senior policy advisor to Ontario's Minister of Finance where she oversaw a number of key financial services files and the post-secondary and K-12 education files.

Jenna serves as a Director on the Board of the Empire Club of Canada.

Call for Proposals: Humber@TIFA Conference

The (re)Making of a Movement: New Perspectives on the 1960s Counterculture

Abstract submission: humber.ca/liberalarts-ifoa/call-proposals
Contact: daniel.hambly@humber.ca or jennifer.marotta@humber.ca

Submission deadline: May 30, 2019
Conference date: November 2-3, 2019

Location: Harbourfront Centre, 235 Queens Quay West, Toronto
Host: Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences and Innovative Learning (FLA), Humber College and the Toronto International Festival of Authors (TIFA)

Keynote speaker: Angela Davis – activist, author, educator, and scholar

It’s been 50 years since 400,000 people descended on Bethel, New York, for an event that became one of the most important cultural touchstones for a generation: Woodstock. As participants in an amorphous social movement the Woodstock Generation came to be defined in opposition to previous generations. Despite growing up in an era of incredible privilege, widespread government social programs, post-war housing and education, and increasing affluence, they rejected, or attempted to redefine traditional values. In theory, supporters of the counterculture rejected individualism, competition, and capitalism. Rejection of monogamy and the traditional nuclear family gave way to a communal ideal—disavowing individualism and private property in favour of shared food, work, sex. As historian Michael Doyle points out, the myth of Woodstock holds that “in a time of military conflict abroad, racial and ethnic strife at home, when a deep social division known as the ‘generation gap’ separated parents from children, nearly half a million young people removed themselves from proximity to these conflicts and went ‘back to the garden’ to try to ‘set their souls free’.” As such, Woodstock carries a certain symbolic weight for participants in the 1960s and 1970s counterculture movement and for anyone who looks back on the past fifty years with a critical eye.

The counterculture movement encompassed: the civil rights movement, free speech, the new left, anti-war, anti-nuclear, feminism, free school movement, drug culture, environmentalism, student activism, producerism, gay liberation, the sexual revolution, and the rise of hippies to innovations in fashion, music, film, and literature. The American poet John Perry Barlow once said: “I started out as a teenage beatnik and then became a hippie and then became a cyberpunk. And now I’m still a member of the counterculture, but I don’t know what to call that.” How have the various movements within the counterculture evolved over the past 50 years? What did hippies become? Who was the sexual revolution scripted for? How did the civil rights movement evolve? How did a generation that “dropped out” re-engage? How was this fringe culture appropriated by marketers? How challenging was it to live an ideal especially in light of the Cold War and rise of Reaganism?

Our conference committee welcomes individual presentation proposals of 300 words, and panel proposals (three people max) of 900 words, based on any of the above themes. This will be the sixth annual interdisciplinary conference held by Humber College’s Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences and Innovative Learning (FLA) of Toronto in association with the Toronto International Festival of Authors (TIFA), one of the most celebrated literary festivals in the world. It is located at the Harbourfront Centre, one of downtown Toronto’s major cultural and artistic venues.
