Campus Notices
During Indigenous History Month, the Teaching & Learning Centre will be sharing Indigenous resources, to prompt discussion and engagement, and to provide educational opportunities which go beyond surface-level awareness to foster genuine understanding of complex issues like land rights, sovereignty, and the ongoing impacts of colonization.
Week 1: Indigenous Films
Movies provide a powerful and accessible medium for sharing Indigenous stories, perspectives, and histories that are often marginalized or misrepresented in mainstream media. By highlighting Indigenous films, we centre authentic voices and storytelling traditions while making complex historical and contemporary issues engaging for diverse audiences.

The CRC-Application Review Committee invites campus community members to attend a research seminar by Dr. Devra Waldman, candidate for the Tier II Canada Research Chair in Equity in Nutrition, Physical Activity, or Health. Dr. Waldman will describe what her research program at UPEI may look like in the context of her past research.
Dr. Waldman has a PhD in Kinesiology from the University of British Columbia (2020) and is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sport Management at Florida State University. Dr. Waldman's research program is comprised of three lines of socio-cultural inquiry in sport, physical culture, and health: 1) the local and global postcolonial politics and implications of sport and health focused 'new city' developments in the Global South; 2) sport, international development, and gendered/racialized inequalities; and 3) global ethnography as a qualitative research methodology, relations of power in research settings, and the politics of knowledge production. These three lines of inquiry come together to address questions about how colonialism shape sport-led urban and regional land development, the politics of inclusion/exclusion in urban planning, and sustainable community development in the Global South.
Research seminar:
- Date/Time: Thursday, June 12, 2025, 9:45 - 10:30 am
- Location: Health Sciences Building 104
- Teams Virtual link
The research seminar will also be recorded and available after the session. Those interested in the recording may contact mlsteele@upei.ca.

AGE-WELL Summer Institute is coming to UPEI July 7-11 and is holding 2-3 Summer Institute slots for UPEI masters, graduate students or postdocs fellows (a very keen 4th year undergrad is also feasible). We are requesting nominations from UPEI students to fill those slots within the next couple weeks.
What is AGE-WELL?
AGE-WELL is Canada's technology and aging network. We have mobilized a vast community of researchers, partner organizations, older adults, caregivers, and future leaders to accelerate the delivery of technology-based solutions that make a meaningful difference in the lives of Canadians.
UPEI students do not have to be a member of AGE-WELL to apply – this is an opportunity of a lifetime an experience you will value the rest of your life. The students from other parts of Canada have already been selected and will be from different disciplines. There will be 3 groups of students each group will be working on a different challenge and each of the UPEI students will be assigned to one of the groups.
It is roughly a 9-5 commitment each day (some evening teamwork is usually necessary). Lunch and snacks will be provided to UPEI attendees (but not accommodations or breakfast).
Please email Olive at obryanton@upei.ca if you are interested in attending and she will pass your name on to the AGE-WELL organizers.

Hosts are asked to choose recipes with some help provided, shop and chop one day, then cook and serve the next day. Hosts who finance their events are appreciated but we have limited funding available.
