Humber College’s School of Liberal Arts and Sciences in association with the International Festival of Authors (IFOA) presents its third annual interdisciplinary conference “Truth, Lies, and Manufacturing Memory” October 28th and 29th at the Harbourfront Centre.

Our keynote is New York Times Reporter, Author, & Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges speaking on "The Price of Journalism in a Post-Fact World." 

Chris Hedges has written for Foreign Affairs, Granta, The New Statesman, Harper’s, Mother Jones, The Nation, Adbusters, and The New York Review of Books. He writes a weekly column for Robert Scheer’s web magazine Truthdig.com and is a senior fellow at The Nation Institute.

In preparation for the event, the IFOA asked Chris Hedges 5 questions and his answers can be found here: ifoa.org/2016/five-questions-with/5-questions-chris-hedges

The conference aims to facilitate cross-disciplinary discussion among scholars and researchers who study topics on the themes of truth and lies. Some emergent themes to be explored include, but are not limited to: contested meaning, repressed truth, testimony studies, trauma, victimhood, distortion, “lies that tell the truth”, revisionism, selective memory, gaslighting.

The Gallup Organization has studied human behaviour for more than 70 years with a goal to help organizations and individuals maximize their performance. This resulted in the design of an instrument and accompanying talent development program that is referred to as StrengthsQuest. The testing instrument – Clifton Strengths Finder – consists of 180 paired comparison items that are classified into 34 groupings or themes.

Prior to this session, you will have the opportunity to complete the online Strengths Finder profile survey to discover your top five themes of talent. In the session, you will explore your results and learn how to recognize and appreciate the unique talents and strengths of others and consider how these can be used in your work.
