As part of Humber’s 50th anniversary celebrations, an event was held yesterday with a book signing and discussion by journalist Steve Paikin.
Paikin, who is a long-time broadcaster on TVO and a recipient of a Humber honorary degree, was discussing his book Bill Davis: Nation Builder, and Not So Bland After All. The book is the only authorized biography of former Ontario premier Bill Davis, who is widely credited with the creation of Ontario's community college system. Humber will also honour Bill Davis who will receive an Honorary degree this June at convocation.
During the event, copies of Paikin's book were available for purchase, with proceeds going towards Humber's 50th anniversary scholarship fund.
A recording of Steve Paikin’s talk will be made available to all staff in the near future.

It is our pleasure to announce the call for proposals for HLA@IFOA's 4th annual Interdisciplinary Conference; a collaboration between Humber's Department of Liberal Arts & Sciences and the International Festival of Authors. Deadline for submission is May 30, 2017.
The State of (In)Equality: Social Justice Under Siege
Toronto: October 28-29, 2017, Harbourfront Centre
Keynote Speaker: Professor Susan N. Herman, President of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)
CFP: The perceived orthodoxy of progressive politics has come under attack in recent years by individuals, groups, and institutions that believe their actions and speech are being policed. The term ‘social justice warrior’ (SJW) emerged in 2011. This has attempted to switch the term ‘social justice,’ which has since 1840 been primarily a positive concept, into a mainstream pejorative used mainly to dismiss individuals and groups who espoused views concerning social progressivism, civil rights, cultural inclusiveness, gay rights, or feminism. For those activists and researchers who have spent their lives attempting to change society for the better, this is a troubling turn.
Our conference will examine the current and past state(s) of inequality and social justice from a multi-disciplinary perspective. The conference takes place October 28th and 29th 2017 at the Harbourfront Centre in Toronto.
To submit a proposal, visit our website: humber.ca/liberalarts-ifoa/call-proposals
We invite proposals based on (but not limited to) the following themes:
Daniel Hambly, M.A., Professor of History & Jennifer Susan Marotta, Ph.D., Professor of Humanities
Department of Liberal Studies, Co-Chairs, HLA@IFOA: "The State of (In)Equality:Social Justice Under Siege"

The latest window display at The Fashion Institute is titled, "DELFTWEAR". The concept was developed by fashion students and inspired by the famous blue and white delftware pottery, which typically depicted farm life in the Netherlands during the 16th century.
The window will be available for public viewing until mid May of 2017.
