The COVID-19 pandemic, which last spring was a crisis requiring an immediate response to launch online learning, grew into an ever-present constraint that impacted teaching, research and all aspects of operations across the university. For the Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 semesters, McKelvey Engineering needed to embrace new paradigms of teaching and learning, to develop new modes of managing and sharing research spaces, and to conduct business operations almost exclusively through remote interactions. In the pages of this issue of Engineering Momentum, you will read about some of the efforts it took to rise to the occasion. Given the enormity of the task, one might expect responding to COVID-19 to be the cover story of this issue of the magazine. It is not. Instead, the summer of last year saw the emergence of an awareness of a challenge that has been with us for centuries and whose destructive power is not amenable to being controlled by a vaccine. While the most visible event of the summer was the video-captured death of George Floyd at the hands of police officers, there was a washu photo litany of such tragedies and travesties.

  • Brand You: Start Something Dull
    Brand You: Start Something Dull I’m asked upon occasion, often it’s by parents of a son or daughter in an MBA program, “Well, what industry should you go into?” And my clear answer to that is, “Get rid of mold in basements.” We’ll come back to that. Quite seriously, if you read the management books—including mine—you would honest to gosh believe that there were only two industries: Information Technology and Biotechnology. And you would only believe there was one company on earth, General Electric. Well, the essence of the economy—our giant economy, anybody’s economy—is really shockingly interesting people who often do very dull things. I’m desperately in love with two guys, and I’ll tell you their stories really quickly. A guy by the name of Jim Penman was in the midst of studying for a Ph.D. He had no money. He was very good at mowing lawns, or enjoyed it. So he started a little company called Jim’s Mowing, despite the fact that he was pursuing a Ph.D. in cross-cultural anthropology. Jim’s Mowing today is called Jim’s Group. It has 2,700 franchises in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United Kingdom. It is ingenious for today’s world where many families have two busy professionals. He does all the stuff that busy professionals don’t have time to do. For example, among his twenty-seven hundred franchises is a whole set of franchises called Jim’s Dog Walking. And he has Jim’s Dog Washing.

Paik Few periods have witnessed so strong a cultural fixation on apocalyptic calamity as the present. From fictions and comic books to Hollywood films, television shows, and video games, the end of the world is ubiquitous in the form of apocalyptic and post- apocalyptic narratives. Imagining world-changing catastrophes, contemporary apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic narratives force us to face urgent socio-political questions such as danger of globalization, effect of neoliberal capitalist hegemony, ecological disasters, fragility of human civilization, and so on.

Transcription by Elizabeth Johnstone Edited by Paul Watkins BA: My name is Ben Authers. I’m a researcher here at the ICASP project at the University of Guelph, and I’m delighted to have an opportunity to talk to three fantastic researchers also involved in the ICASP project, in various places locally, provincially, internationally. So, I’ll ask all the presenters to introduce themselves. TN: My name is Tracy Nicholls and I am the ICASP postdoctoral researcher based in Montreal this year at the Centre de recherche en éthique de l’Université de Montréal. And I come to this project actually from a long involvement at McGill. I did my doctoral dissertation under Eric Lewis, whose the McGill site manager for ICASP, and he got me involved in his earlier project on improvisation, which was one of the founding, I guess founding strands of what has become the ICASP project. So, I’m an instructor, professor, assistant professor in philosophy, and I’m on academic leave this year to come back to work with the ICASP project and take up a project working with improvisation and decolonization, and looking at how improvised music in particular can play a community-building role such that we can actually get off the ground social justice movements for indigenous communities.
