    J U N E 2 0 2 0 CRSP NEWSLETTER Centre for Research on Security Practices Welcome to the Inaugural CRSP Newsletter! We hope you and your loved ones are healthy and safe at this difficult time, including the global pandemic and ongoing global demonstrations. CRSP would like to express empathy and solidarity with those in our communities who are experiencing loss and apprehension. While we grapple with these new challenges to our personal and professional lives, we are also looking to maintain some form of routine and connection to others. We are therefore excited to share our inaugural newsletter that provides an update on CRSP activities. The newsletter will contribute to CRSP’s goal to continue to build relationships among a group of scholars whose common research interests are in security practices and human security in all its many forms. CRSP'S New Home With the generous support of Wilfrid Laurier University, CRSP has initiated the renovation of the second floor of Wilkes House (119 Darling Street, Brantford) for its new home. The new CRSP space will house offices, flex space, and a multipurpose meeting room where CRSP members will collaborate on research and spark new ideas related to security practices and human security. J U N E 2 0 2 0 True to its commitment of mentoring and teaching students, the new CRSP space will have ample work space for research assistants to work alongside CRSP-affiliated faculty, giving students valuable hands-on research experience. Connected to CRSP is the Craft of Intelligence Analysis Lab (CIAL). Funded by a Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) grant, CIAL is equipped with microphones and observational equipment, data analytical software and an open workspace for conducting focus group interviews and observing interactions in small group work.

  • OCAD University At-Large Faculty Senator Elections 2016 List of Candidates
    OCAD University At-Large Faculty Senator Elections 2016 List of Candidates: Michelle Astrug (Faculty of Design) Michelle Astrug is a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Design, teaching in Graphic Design. She is applying for senate because she is interested in actively participating in University governance. Claire Brunet (Faculty of Art) Claire Brunet is a sculptor and Associate Professor in Media and installation art; Sculpture/Installation program and Fabrication Studio Bronze Casting and Digital Processes at OCAD University in Toronto. In June 2014 Brunet completed a PhD degree in Fine Arts, in the Interdisciplinary Program (INDI) at Concordia University in Montreal. Her research work explores expanded spatial boundaries and the influence of a 3D digital and technological context on the artist’s creative process in sculpture practice. Brunet’s sculpture project proposes opposing temporal forces—a 3D digital and technological spatial approach as a mode of production, in opposition to a critical discourse in regard to living species and their relation to their natural environment—which stresses the opposing values of an hypermodern society (Lipovetsky 2005). Brunet has presented projects and papers at conferences in New Zealand, Australia, Belgium, Germany, Greece and Canada. Her publications include: Exploring Data Space, in The Faculty of Art Newsletter (OCAD U, Toronto, 2012); “Extending Spatial Boundaries Through Sculpture Practices: Exploring Natural and 3D Technological Environments” in The International Journal of the Arts in Society (Illinois: CG Publishing, 2012); McLuhan and Extended Environment: Affect and Effect of a 3D Digital Medium on Sculpture Practice, in Y.

  • Does Accreditation Matter for Art & Design Schools in Canada?
    College Quarterly Winter 2013 - Volume 16 Number 1 (../index.html) Does Accreditation Matter for Art & Design Schools in Canada? Home By Reiko (Leiko) Shimizu (../index.html) Studio-based degrees in fine arts and design are not often written Contents about in higher education literature. Perhaps it is because art and design (index.html) education is misunderstood – students are viewed as “finding themselves” or have unrealistic dreams of becoming the next big artist. Perhaps the studio-based nature of the curriculum does not intrigue researchers to write about issues that concern it, or perhaps it is because anyone can call themself an artist without having an academic credential. Ten years ago, urban theorist Richard Florida coined the term the “creative class” as individuals who “do a wide variety of work in a wide variety of industries – from technology to entertainment, journalism to finance, high- end manufacturing to the arts….they share a common ethos that values creativity, individuality, difference, and merit” (Florida, 2002, para. 8). According to Florida the creative class helps build economic development; therefore, our cities should be nurtured to be more inviting to these types of individuals. This emphasis on culture and creativity is at the foundation of art and design education. Groys (2009) argues that art education is complicated and subjective; it ultimately has no rules and that “teaching art means teaching life” (as cited in Madoff, 2009, p. 27). If that is the case, how does one measure quality in a field that is viewed as so subjective? How does one define and value art and design education? One’s notion of good art and design can be vastly different from another’s, and both views may come from experts in the field.
