This is a beginner level series. Cloud computing provides great flexibility, allowing complete control of the computing environment. In addition, the environment can be copied, backed up, created and recreated in an automated way. In these lessons, we will start you on the path towards making use of the great flexibility and power of cloud computing. We will be using the popular static website generator Jekyll. This is an in-depth workshop for those with no prior cloud experience, at the end of which you will have a virtual machine and a Jekyll website. Space is limited so register early.  DETAILS & REGISTER

Dr. Ajay Parasram, assistant professor in the departments of International Development Studies and History, invites you to this online discussion event, Safe Space for White Questions.

This is the third of a series of free and public monthly drop-in sessions open to white identifying people who would like to come ask a question or two about a wide range of issues generally captured under the banner of "progressive" politics that you would like to better understand. There's no judgement, no chance that you'll offend anyone (unless you're actively trying to - please don't do that.).

Drop by for a friendly and considerate conversation aimed at helping us all better understand how structures impact us all.

Join the Virtual Philosophy Network (www.virtualphilosophynetwork.com) and professional philosopher, writer and game designer Trystan Goetze for a discussion of philosophy and tabletop roleplaying games.

"Tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs) like Dungeons & Dragons are more popular than ever before. But rarely do we pause to consider some of the deeper questions raised by these games. In this talk, I want to argue for two things: first, that philosophy can improve your games, and second, that games can do philosophy. To do this, I'll employ C. Thi Nguyen's theory of games from his recent book, Games: Agency As Art (https://global.oup.com/academic/product/games-9780190052089)".

Dr. Goetze is currently a Banting Fellow at Dalhousie University. His areas of research specialization are social epistemology and moral philosophy. As a game designer, he has published pieces for use with 5th edition of Dungeons & Dragons, as well as numerous other games.
