About the Event

Jamaican theorist Sylvia Wynter offers us this perspective — human life came into being through culture, not the other way around. That being the case, then art, and how we decipher it, can both sustain the status quo of our species or be a method for making new forms of human life, forms that aren’t governed by the logics of anti-Black racism, capitalism, or cisheteropatriarchy.

How can we be made and remade as we engage with Black culture? How might we gauge when art is bringing us closer to or farther away from our collective freedom?

About the Author

Mila Natasha Mendez (they/them) is a queer Black Chinese cultural worker, parent, and doctoral candidate in Gender, Feminist and Women’s Studies. Mila is interested in transformative spaces and ideas, and they find grounding in the capaciousness of Black Feminisms to show us how and why care is central. Their current research is curious about what propels liberatory Black culture production and creative practices by emerging and mid-career Black queer and trans feminist artists in so-called Canada, within, against and beyond intersecting systems of oppression, including anti-Black racism, racial capitalism, and cistheteropatriarchy. Outside of academia, you can find Mila working and drumming with RAW Taiko (@rawtaiko) and training to support new parents with feeding their babies.

This event is organized to support the Black and 2SLGBTQ+ student community, but is open for allies as well.

Technological Trends in Research: AI Revisited

Given the speed of change in AI development and use, the 2025 version of the Research Forum would like to revisit the theme of AI, but through the lens of real-world applications in marketing or social research, coupled with a discussion about the type of AI specific skills that emerging research analysts will need to be career-ready.
