Nature Conversation Poster with Ghosts and event details.

The Math & Writing Centre, in collaboration with the Centre for Urban Ecology, is pleased to announce a special edition of our Nature Conversation Circle celebrating Halloween. Think pumpkins, owls, bats and more!

Taking place in the Humber Arboretum at the North Campus on Friday, October 31 at 1 p.m., this free event offers English language learners a chance to practice their listening and speaking skills and to build their vocabulary on topics related to nature and Halloween.

The sessions will be co-hosted by one of our writing tutors and CUE staff and will take place in the CUE building in the heart of the Arboretum.

We ask students interested in joining the session to scan the QR code in the attached poster to sign up, and then to show up at the North Campus Math & Writing Centre on the third floor of the LRC no later than 12:30 p.m. on October 31. The host tutor will then walk with the students to the CUE building and set up the Nature Conversation Circle upon arrival.

Please share the poster and let students know about this new opportunity for engagement and discovery.

Polarization in Canada: Why Should We Care? What Can Be Done About It?

Scholars and commentators have grown increasingly concerned about the growth of polarization in Canada, but to what extent are these fears warranted? In this lecture, Dr. Merkley will counter the widely held view that this “affective polarization” — i.e., the positive feelings people have about the political party they support vs. negative feelings about the party they oppose — is merely due to the changing media environment. He will argue that the increasing political divide closely reflects growing ideological, rather than social, differences between the left and right, which he will trace to the polarization of Canada’s political parties. Affective polarization heightens partisan bias, encourages the formation of homogenous social networks, motivates partisan discrimination, and encourages people to support undemocratic actions. Merkley will conclude on a hopeful note, arguing that these are meaningful, but not insurmountable, challenges to the health of Canadian democracy.

Students and faculty are invited to a Kraft Dinner "After Hours Activation" in combination with Humber on October 28 and 29.

This event is happening in the L Building from 7 to 11 p.m. Students who are studying late are encouraged to join in the fun and study with KD. There will be free swag, coupons and KD cups given out to participants.

This is a learning experience in cooperation with Kraft Dinner's in-house agency, The Kitchen, and will help to show students how activations work - first the live activation, then in-class presentations breaking down the process.

The message overall is that when everything else is closed, KD is there for hungry Humber students!

Addressing Generative AI Head-On: Why and How Engaging with Generative AI is an Expression of Trust and Agency (Dr. Danny Liu)

Oct 29, 2025 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST

In this session, Dr. Danny Liu (University of Sydney) will examine how program integrity and relevance can be balanced to help students engage responsibly with AI while ensuring graduates develop the capabilities their degrees represent. He will reflect on the “two-lane approach” adopted at the University of Sydney and other institutions, highlighting its implications for integrity and relevance as well as lessons from its implementation. The session will also consider what generative AI means for students’ futures, how it might enhance rather than diminish the humanity of teaching, and how courageous engagement with it can foster honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility.
