Call for Lethbridge and Area Community Attendees:
We would like to invite members of the Lethbridge and area communities to participate as an attendee in the first annual I-CYS Symposium - At the Intersections of Childhood 2017 held on Saturday, April 1, 2017. This year, we will bring together a group of interdisciplinary scholars whose work lies at one of the intersections of Digital, Indigenous, and Youth issues. As opposed to passive listening, you are invited, along with members of the university and students, to join this panel discussion as an active participant and critical audience to comment on, critique, engage with, and explore the materials, ideas, and concepts presented by the panelists. Your participation is important in fostering a dialogue among the academic and local communities in moving forward in the study of Digital, Indigenous, and Youth Issues. These panels are accompanied by a public keynote in the morning and a lunch prior to panel discussions. Attendance by community members is FREE (including lunch). We ask you to RSVP here, but you will NOT have to pay. For more information about the symposium, please visit the I-CYS website.
Call for University Attendees:
We would like to invite members of the academic community, including faculty, students, and staff, at the University of Lethbridge to participate as an attendee in the first annual I-CYS Symposium - At the Intersections of Childhood 2017 held on Saturday, April 1, 2017. This year, we will bring together a group of interdisciplinary scholars whose work lies at one of the intersections of Digital, Indigenous, and Youth issues. As opposed to passive listening, you are invited, along with members of the community and students, to join this panel discussion as an active participant and critical audience to comment on, critique, engage with, and explore the materials, ideas, and concepts presented by the panelists. Please inform us of your participation no later than March 15, 2017 here. For more information about the symposium, please visit the I-CYS website.
The event will consist of a keynote lecture by Kirsten Lindquist (U of A, Native Studies), followed by a lunch, and three panel discussions by University of Lethbridge scholars and invited guests (Dr. Peter Dawson, U of C, Dr. Chelsey Hauge, Brock University, and Daniela Navia, MA). During the panels, the audience will have the opportunity to respond to the papers and reflect on the intersections of these issues. Moreover, attendees will learn from other scholars, hear from community members, activists and practitioners, and ultimately to transform the way research is conceptualized in these areas.
Following the panel discussions, this symposium will conclude with a student poster session against the backdrop of a collegial wine and cheese gathering.
