University of Waterloo events

Join our Writing Cafe for Black, Indigenous, and Racialized Students The Black, Indigenous and Racialized Students' Writing Café is a social writing group. Unlike traditional peer feedback-based writing groups, we don’t read each other’s finished writing: instead, we write together to create a community of writers who can cheer each other on during what is often an isolating, difficult journey!

The 17th annual University of Waterloo Teaching and Learning Conference is taking place on April 30, with a day of online workshops taking place on April 29.

Sandra Jabbour's MFA Thesis exhibition "Ahsan Hdeyeh 3ana" explores themes of memory, family dynamics, multilingualism, diaspora, and Jabbour’s relationship to her Syrian and Lebanese cultures. Notably, her paintings are infused with her personal interpretations of imagery drawn from her familial archive of VHS tapes from the late 90s and early 2000s.

Maddie Lychek's MFA Thesis exhibition "Could Be a Person or Multiple Hotdogs" subverts dominant narratives surrounding racialization, diaspora, and queerness by a refusal to flatten the artist’s multiple identities (Filipino, Slovak, masculine, lesbian) in ways that align with broader institutional narratives of inclusion.

Grab a coffee and get writing. Join our network of graduate student, postdoc, and faculty writers at the Grad Writing Café! Meet other writers, stay on track, and make progress on your work. Writing doesn't have to be solitary!
