For May 14, 2021
Showing support for our health-care workers
National Physicians' Day (May 1) and National Nursing Week (May 10-16) are even more meaningful this year as we recognize the tremendous courage and commitment of all front-line health-care workers and volunteers during this challenging time.
Dalhousie is proudly flying the Health-Care Heroes flag on Studley Campus in recognition of these amazing individuals, many of whom we count among our own in the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Health. Thank you to Dartmouth's Flag Shop for helping us show this recognition.
Delivery of roofing materials to the "D" Building on Sexton Campus will cause disruption to traffic flow coming from Barrington Street onto DeCosta Drive and Norma Eddy Lane for a period of approximately 3-4 hours.
The Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion (CCDI) is offering a free webinar, Addressing anti-Asian racism in the workplace, on May 20, 2 pm (ADT). It is open to the general public.
Tackling rising anti-Asian racism is at the heart of this year’s theme for Asian Heritage Month in Canada: Recognition, Resilience, and Resolve. We spoke to Ajay Parasram, an assistant professor in the departments of International Development Studies and History, about the history of anti-Asian racism in Canada and ways people can help help combat it now.
Dalhousie’s Schulich School of Law is hosting Climate Law and Human Rights next week, an Open Dialogue Live panel discussion about how human rights law can help bring more urgency to the climate change problem.
