Come learn about learning!
We’re always here to learn at Science on the Rock, but have you ever thought about HOW we do that? Join us when Dr. Ami Goulden takes the Quidi Vidi stage to give a talk for teachers and learners (so for everyone!):

We often design learning as if everyone takes in information in the same way but in reality, variability is the norm, not the exception. This talk introduces Universal Design for Learning, a framework that draws on neuroscience and education research to design more flexible, accessible learning experiences from the start. Ami will share some simple, real-world examples of how small design choices can reduce barriers, support engagement, and give people more agency in how they learn. If you’re curious to explore more, you can check out the UDL Community of Practice NL at udlcopnl.ca.

This workshop will convene scholars focused on women and other marginalized identities in maritime spaces to consider what has been the impact and what is the future of the expansion of maritime studies, particularly those driven by gender, on both scholarly and popular conceptions of maritime life. As part of the Lloyd’s Heritage Foundation-funded SWAAN Project (Seafaring Women Aboard and Ashore Network), this discussion will be folded into a wider consideration of women’s work in modern maritime industries to produce resources for promoting recruitment, bettering retention, and encouraging training of women in careers in these spaces.

Join us for a complimentary lecture, Behind the Walls: Power, Identity, and the Spaces We Take for Granted, with limited spaces available—register now to secure your spot and gain fresh insight into how everyday spaces shape power, identity, leadership, and organizational culture in ways we rarely stop to question.

Walls are everywhere.  Although we hardly notice them, they define who is legitimate and who is not.  Whether you are inside or outside the walls of a home, office, prison, public building, or even border walls, affects your identity and its legitimacy.  Every time you are uncomfortable in a space, this points to a power imbalance; a value-driven decision, or an ideology.  How we decorate walls is also a way to express identity.  Sometimes we even feel watched by our walls!

Professor Lisa-Jo K. van den Scott explores how the walls that people take for granted can be turned into objects – unveiling hidden power relations, expressions of identity, and the way these dividers can either maintain the landscape of lives, or interrupt them.  Having spent five years studying the flexible and durable meanings of walls in Nunavut, Dr. van den Scott has shifted her focus from spaces in people’s homes, to spaces at work.  She is currently interview faculty about their office spaces.

In this talk, Dr. van den Scott will argue that walls are cultural objects, technological objects, and boundary objects.  She will speak to some elements of architecture (ex. wide hallways encourage informal conversation), but will focus on everyday walls (at home and in offices) and how they establish and maintain power relations. There is a connection between how physical spaces are organized and informal interactions, hierarchies, leadership, and organizational culture.  Workplaces quietly influence decision-making, collaboration, and inclusion – or not!

Limited spaces available—register now!
