HumberPress.com, the online home of Humber Press, has been completely redesigned and rebooted. All of our past publications are available for purchase, plus we’re proud to present a brand-new, FREE downloadable eBook: Mapping Nations, Locating Citizens: Interdisciplinary Discussions on Nationalism and Identity, a selection of the proceeds of the second annual HLA @IFOA conference, edited by professor Daniel Hambly.

We are also happy to make available, for the first time, a free eBook of Remembering World War I: Perspectives at the Centenary—a selection of papers from the first annual HLA @IFOA conference. (Paperback copies are still available for purchase!)

Many thanks to Dowattie Nandkumar and Kathy Nguyen at Humber’s Centre for Teaching & Learning for their hard work on the new site.

In the coming weeks we’ll be adding: a case studies catalogue and a preview of JIPE (Journal of Innovation in Polytechnic Education). And we’re gearing up for the Fall issue of NEXT magazine. Please explore the site and let us know what you think!

Humber Press is Humber College’s academic press—we’re committed to promoting scholarship and advancing diverse perspectives. Our editors develop texts to showcase the research and creativity of our faculty.

Along with our site’s re-launch, Humber Press is now welcoming submissions of scholarly works. We are particularly interested in the following topics: the scholarship of teaching and learning, applied technology, performing arts, business, health sciences, cultural histories, and media studies. Let us help you make your project a reality!

The Centre for Innovation in Health & Wellness is collaborating with the Humber Arboretum, School of Applied Technology, TD Friends of the Environment, and the community to create Humber's Food Learning Garden. 

The purpose of the Food Learning Garden in the Humber Arboretum is to provide a space to learn about local, healthy food and urban agriculture. The garden will be used primarily to:

• Support the learning of Humber College students from a broad range of programs and departments as they help to build, maintain, and utilize the garden for their studies;
• Incorporate local, healthy food grown by Humber College work-study students and Humber Arboretum staff into the menu of the Humber Room. Food will be harvested by students and staff from Humber’s School of Hospitality, Tourism, and Recreation; and
• Educate and inspire children, youth, and community members taking part in the Humber Arboretum’s school, community, and camp programs.

The Learning Garden will be another step towards demnostrating Humber's leading role in sustainability and healthy child development.

On November 16th, 2017, the Centre for Innovation in Health & Wellness will be hosting an interactive symposium at the Centre for Urban Ecology in the Humber Arboretum wherein Humber and the community will be encouraged to identity local food issues affecting food security and health in our local community.

The legacy of residential schools is a discussion for all Canadians to have. It’s an opportunity to acknowledge survivors and those who have been affected.
