S5E02 Sport History with Dr. Taylor McKee
(2023-12-13) Alison Innes, Taylor McKee
How does the study of sport history help us understand our society? This episode we speak with historian Dr. Taylor McKee, Associate Professor in the Department of Sport Management, about how understanding sport helps us understand our society. We discuss his research on violence and masculinity in hockey and the long history of advocating for change in the sport. Dr. Taylor also shares his work on the use of sports like hockey in building a national identity and colonizing Indigenous peoples. As always, we pull back the curtain on academic work, discussing academic journals, the publishing process, and the value of sharing university research with the public.

S4E09 Getting Lost in Mackenzie Chown Complex with Lesley Bell
(2023-04-24) Alison Innes, Lesley Bell
If you're a Brock student, employee, or even visitor, chances are you have tried to navigate Mackenzie Chown Complex at some point and possibly even gotten lost. But have you ever wondered why it is built the way it is, or wondered about the art work inside it? Today's guest, Lesley Bell, has, and she's done the research to find the answers. To mark the 50th anniversary of Canadian artist Michael Snow's 1972-1973 art installation in Mackenzie Chown (then called the Academic Staging Building), we talk with Lesley about the artist's work and his collaboration with the building's architect Raymond Moriyama. Lesley also shares some of her experiences as an art student at Brock in the 1980s, her decision to become an art librarian, and the changes she's experienced during her long career with Brock's Department of Visual Arts and the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts (MIWSFPA). Stay tuned for an upcoming bonus episode when Lesley takes us on an audio walking tour of Mackenzie Chown Comlex and Michael Snow's art.

S4E08 Research Creation with Julie Gemuend
(2023-04-10) Alison Innes, Julie Gemuend
Written texts, journal articles, and printed books are not the only way we create and share knowledge in the Humanities. The process of research creation brings together multiple disciplines to explore a more comprehensive understanding of what it means to be human. This episode, we speak with artist and researcher Julie Gemuend, who shares how she is using research creation to explore what it means to be human in the Anthropocene age, including our physical vulnerabilities and responsibilities to other beings. Julie is a PhD candidate in the Interdisciplinary Humanities program. She has an MFA from Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) and her work has been exhibited in Canada, the USA and internationally. This conversation was originally recorded in the spring of 2022.
