It is time to shift our attention from the clash of civilisations that we are witnessing around the world, to a consideration of the harmonious mosaic of cultures that make up the Canadian population. Why not step into an exploration of new cultures, with everyone describing the lands of their ancestors? A quick sight-seeing tour in pictures or short video, then perhaps geography and demography, traditional clothing, artisanal handcrafting, turning points in history and their implications, or current political context. And finally a taste of their culinary art.

YCMS 155 Protest Art: The Artist as Activist
Automne 2019
Mardi
More and more in this age of anxiety, artists are turning their talents towards making social statements. Artists like Ai Wei-Wei consider a variety of problems, from the refugee crisis to rampant materialism. Others like Nan Goldin focus on a particular problem, in this case, sexuality and sexual identity. From well-known figures like Andy Warhol to lesser known artists like Tania Bruguera, the range is limitless. The moderator will provide a list of possible artists to choose from, but the field is open. An exciting field of exploration.

We will discuss the challenges that all buildings must meet to qualify as architecture. Some revelations about Canadian Indigenous architecture are included.
YCMS 158 Looking at paintings – What do we see?
Automne 2019

As an independent extension to the five weeks of classroom discussions, we intend to visit some nearby museums and exhibitions to look at original works.
YCMS 159 Extraordinary Women in Early Canadian Sport and Society
Automne 2019
Mardi
A combination of gender studies and an investigation of the historic role of clubs/sporting groups in early Canada reveals the stories of many interesting, sometimes strident and accomplished female athletes. As Canada took its place in a more connected world, some female athletes challenged our cultural views and changed the social fabric. Do you know or remember who they were?
YCMS 160 Donald J. Trump - A Second-Term President?
Automne 2019
Mercredi
The battle lines are drawn. It's the Trump Administration versus Congress. But is it on this battleground the voters will make their final determination on the candidate in the 2020 presidential election? Over a 10-week period, we will focus on the challengers heading into the primaries and the issues that resonate with the public. Will Trump prevail or suffer the ignominy of defeat? Exciting ain’t the word for it.
YCMS 161 Dialogue on Africa's Development Opportunities Part 1
Automne 2019

MCLL participants will join Dr Nii Addy of Â鶹AV's Max Bell School of Public Policy and scholars/change-makers from Africa currently at Â鶹AV, to engage in an intergenerational-learning initiative about international development. Participants will reflect on past approaches as contrasted with what each host country needs today, and in the future.
