News and events for Dal staff and faculty

For May 08, 2024

Signs of spring

Take a walk around Dal's Studley Quad in early May, and you'll be treated to one of the campus's most pleasing — if short-lived — visual treats: the magnolia tree in full bloom.

Cody Turner, visual media manager with Dal's Communications, Marketing & Creative Services, captured this close-up along with some other images last week. The petals are already beginning to shed, so lace up and get outside to check this natural beauty out before it's too late. 

Have photos of the season you'd like to share? Stay tuned for a new series launching soon!

Mad Max’s ‘Furiosa’ and other car movies are starting to change who gets behind the wheel

To understand how ‘Furiosa’ and other new films challenge car culture’s male-centric conventions, it’s useful to look closely at how car culture has favoured a certain kind of male hero.
