📣 The Knowledge Crisis: How did we get here and what can we do?

Join us at the 2026 Woodrow Lloyd Lecture for Tim Caulfield’s talk on the effects of misinformation and how we can effectively move forward

Our information environment is increasingly chaotic and filled with misleading, harmful, and exploitive contents. This reality is a defining characteristic of our time. And research tells us it is doing tangible harm – to public health, mental health, public discourse, personal relationships, policy development, and public trust. How did we get here, why do people believe, and what can we do about it? In this provocative presentation Professor Caulfield will explore what the most recent evidence tells us about the nature and source of the current infodemic. He will also provide science-informed recommendations to cut through the noise and forge a constructive path forward. This is a crisis. Time to step up!

❗️Exciting new event!

The Faculty of Arts and the Community Engagement and Research Centre are proud to present the 2025 Stapleford Lecture with guest lecturer Dr. Carmen Robertson

Dr. Robertson will be speaking on the topic, Picturing Land: Indigenous Aesthetics on the Flatland and will revisit the intertwined Indigenous art histories of Saskatchewan through a storied lens.

A specialist in the art of Anishinaabe artist Norval Morrisseau, Dr. Robertson leads a team of researchers through the final stages of an exhaustive study of the first thirty years of his career. The recent publication Bead Talk: Indigenous Aesthetics on the Flatlands in 2024 (UMP), co-edited with Judy Anderson and Katherine Boyer and the co-curated exhibition It Runs in the Family, now on display in an Ottawa gallery that explores familial ties within Indigenous prairie art, sets the stage for this lecture. Dr. Robertson has published monographs, scholarly chapters, and essays related to Indigenous arts and visual cultural issues while also maintaining a curatorial practice.

Date: November 6th at 7PM
Location: College Ave Campus
