Join SPPGA Adjunct Professor Natasha Thambirajah, Dr. Daniel L Metzger, and Parliamentary Secretary for Gender Equity Grace Lore for an inside view on the evidence-based, change management, and stakeholder engagement practices used to gradually shift the BC health sector and provincial government towards recognizing the criticality of recognizing rights of people who are transgender or gender non-conforming to express their gender identity with minimal or no state or medical intervention. RSVP Here | CoSphere To truly address climate change, we need to change the very systems we live and work in. cosphere.net, a platform by Dr. Kai Chan, is seeking young activists and folks (including expert scientists) who can articulate the science of sustainability to join their community.

The course introduces students to a variety of methods for communicating scientific information. It is divided broadly into two main sections: communicating science within the scientific community (e.g. writing a scientific paper and giving presentations), and communicating science to a broader, non-expert audience (e.g. writing in journalistic style, blogging, and producing podcasts and videos).

Throughout their studies, students are presented with a variety of sometimes contradictory thoughts, opinions, and approaches to sustainability. SCIE 420 is designed to make sense of this cacophony, and to provide students from any Faculty the opportunity to develop, critique, and synthesize their understanding of sustainability and related concepts, something which is not provided in other courses. Furthermore, students will be given the opportunity to apply their knowledge to a real-world problem through their work on a Community Based Experiential Learning project.
