HRG TRIBUTE to
CATHERINE HUNDLEBY
This special HRG SALON event, dedicated to Dr. Catherine Hundleby, features a panel presentation by Alisha Jacobs, Oxana Pimenova, and Christopher W. Tindale. Jacobs is a 2nd--year PhD candidate in Argumentation Studies whose work focuses on social justice issues; Pimenova is a SSHRC post-doctoral student at CRRAR who holds PhDs in Law and Policy Studies. Her post-doctoral project is entitled "Developing a predictive machine learning model to detect and forecast Argument Continuities in government-led reasoning: the case of superficial Indigenous consultations." Tindale is a member of the Philosophy department, the Director CRRAR, and co-editor of the journal, Informal Logic. A prolific and influential thinker in the areas of Argumentation Theory and Rhetoric, his work has been translated into several languages.
Justice and Argument: The Legacy of Catherine E. Hundleby
In many minds, Philosophy Professor Catherine Hundleby is to be remembered for her pioneering work in feminist argumentation. Equally important are her responses to issues of injustice (argumentative and epistemic injustice) and her work on equity. "Oppression," she wrote in a 2013 paper, "pervades social politeness, marriage, and even the discipline of philosophy. Oppression shapes the people in those institutions and influences their argumentation practices, and the reception of their arguments." This stand is the focus of the panel, which takes its impetus from Hundleby's work but quickly moves to explore wider questions that impact on Canadian issues of injustice, especially involving Indigenous communities.
Donald Robertson
The Psychology of Stoicism
Thursday January 30, 2025 6:00 P.M.
SoCA Armouries Performance Hall 37 University Ave East
Donald Robertson is an author and former cognitive-behavioural psychotherapist, who was born in Scotland but now lives in Canada and Greece. He is one of the founders of the Modern Stoicism nonprofit and the founder and president of the Plato's Academy Centre nonprofit in Athens. He is the author of seven books on philosophy and psychotherapy, including How to Think Like a Roman Emperor and, more recently, How to Think Like Socrates.
The Psychology of Stoicism
What can we learn about self-improvement, or even psychotherapy, from the writings of ancient Stoics, such as Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius? Robertson will explore parallels between ancient philosophy and modern psychotherapy, in terms of both theory and practive. He will also discuss ways in which Stoic philosophy can help us today through the use of specific psychological exercises derived from ancient texts. He will also discuss ways in which Stoicism has been appropriated and misinterpreted by some modern influencers.
Dr. Catherine Febria
Women, Water and Restoration Science
Thursday February 27, 2025 6:00 P.M.
SoCA Armouries Performance Hall 37 University Ave East
Dr. Catherine Febria is a Pinay/Filipina immigrant, guest and settler on Turtle Island who conceptualized and launched the Healthy Headwaters Lab at the University of Windsor in 2019. Driven by the mission to restore freshwater ecosystems and to full health to benefit generations, she has brought together individuals with diverse gifts to work together in pursuit of research excellence through a de/anti-colonized, holistic, and partnership-focused approach. Her work focuses on relationships with freshwater, and the responsibility of all people to care for water. Drawing upon her lived experiences as a woman in science, the lab practices relationship-building, kinship and responsibility-based language when advancing research to inform freshwater restoration on local to global scales.
Women, Water and Restoration Science
Many cultures share the value that Water is Life. Locally to globally, women have held a responsibility to care for the Water. In so-called Canada we are in a phase of reconciliation, reconciling our relationship with the Water, Nibii. This talk will share a journey taken together - women, scientists, communities - all working to heal our relationships with Water. Highlighting examples from various grants including a recent SSHRC Partnership Development grant, I will share perspectives and examples of reimagined, interdisciplinary and co-created research that embrace relational and narrative approaches. Notably, I will share insights into the diversity of outcomes that emerge when we seek to use science as a tool to connect Land, Water and People.
