Are you trying to find some dedicated time to finish a writing project that needs focused attention?  A "Time to Write" retreat will be offered from October 15 to 18, 2024, at the North Rustico Cottages in North Rustico.

"Time to Write" retreats offer concentrated time to support your writing efforts and can be instrumental in the initiation or completion of scholarly work such as an article, book or book chapter, grant proposal, curriculum or OER development, conference presentations, or other scholarly, creative projects. Time to work on writing projects away from home and campus for a few days can be incredibly productive. Participation in a writing retreat with colleagues at various stages of their career not only provides quiet, focused writing time away from teaching, research, and administrative responsibilities, but it also offers mentorship and networking opportunities with colleagues from a range of disciplines. The retreat provides an opportunity to develop a supportive writing group with colleagues from across campus and join group discussions on writing and publishing. 

Participants must have a project (e.g., grant application, research publication) at a stage where sustained writing time makes sense with background research and/or data collection and analysis completed to the point that they are ready to write. Participants must be prepared to commit to the full program--a total of three days focused on writing--and contribute $300. The retreat is open to faculty (term and sessional faculty are encouraged to apply) and librarians in any academic unit at UPEI.

Interested participants will email an expression of interest consisting of a summary of the project they plan to work on and their writing goals for the retreat to TLC@upei.ca by 12:00 noon on September 27, 2024. Five participants will be accepted for this "Time to Write" retreat.  
 

The 大发快三彩票Writing Centre, located in Robertson Library 274, is now open for appointments.

To book an in-person or online appointment, please visit upei.mywconline.com. Drop-ins are also welcome. We are still operating on reduced hours but will add more availability soon. 

For information about the Writing Centre, please go to or email the coordinator: jschneider@upei.ca.

Please note that the old Writing Centre Facebook page is no longer in use.

We look forward to working with you!

The 大发快三彩票Philosophy Reading Group, facilitated by Dr. Max Schaefer, sessional instructor, Faculty of Arts, will hold its first meeting of the 2024鈥�2025 academic year on Wednesday, September 25, from 7:00鈥�8:00 pm, at the Charlottetown Library Learning Centre, 97 Queen Street. 

At this meeting, the group will discuss a reading from Gernot B枚hme鈥檚 The Aesthetics of Atmospheres. A theory of atmospheres first began to take shape in psychiatrist Hubertus Tellenbach鈥檚 study and treatment of certain mental disorders and has been a growing movement in philosophy in recent years. To date, atmospheres have been studied in relation to a variety of fields, including psychopathology, politics, advertising, architecture, and urban studies.

The group meets once a month at the Charlottetown Library Learning Centre and is regularly attended by students and faculty across a range of disciplines. If you are interested in attending this upcoming meeting or any in the future, please contact Dr. Schaefer at mschaefer@upei.ca for more information.

Welcome to "Yes, Here Too," an educational display dedicated to exploring the profound and shameful history of Indian Day Schools and Residential Schools in Canada鈥檚 Maritimes. This exhibit aims to illuminate the experiences of Indigenous children and families who endured these institutions and to foster a deeper understanding of their generational impact. 

What You鈥檒l Discover: 

1. Historical context: Learn about the origins and development of Indian Day Schools and Residential Schools in the Maritimes. Discover how these institutions were established as part of broader colonial policies aimed at assimilating Indigenous peoples and erasing their cultures. 
2. Cultural impact: Explore how these schools sought to suppress Indigenous languages, traditions, and identities, and the lasting effects this has had on communities. Understand the broader implications of these policies on Indigenous cultures and heritage. 
3. The 94 Calls to Action: Discover current initiatives and ongoing efforts toward reconciliation, healing, and justice for survivors and their families. Learn about the role of education, community support, and policy changes in addressing the legacy of these institutions. 
4. Interactive elements: Engage with interactive displays and multimedia presentations that provide deeper insights into the experiences of students and the historical context of these institutions. 

This display is a crucial step toward acknowledging and understanding the complexities of colonization. We encourage visitors of all backgrounds to attend, reflect, and engage in meaningful dialogue about reconciliation and the ongoing journey toward justice and healing.

Content warning: Subject matter and supplemental conversation include abuse, violence, assault, death, abduction, racism, sexism, classism, and cultural genocide. Conversation may also include suicide, substance use, and police brutality. The contents of this activity are based on real events in Canadian history and may be emotionally and intellectually challenging to engage with.
