On October 27, join us for a presentation and Q&A with Jo-Anne Henry, pictured below, as we celebrate the legacy of her mother Violet King Henry (‘53 LLB). Violet was one of only four women in her class and became the faculty's first Black graduate. (1/2) @UAlbertaAlumni

Why Alberta lacks a mandate to reopen Canada's Constitution. UofA's @DrJaredWesley brings his research acumen to the 'Alberta sovereignty' furor. #Abpoli #cdnpoli theconversation.com/why-albe… via @ConversationCA

Wherein a sociologist of epidemics clarifies a government minister's use of a basic public health and environmental concept. #endemic #pandemic #COVID19
Also: no such thing as “the endemic stage”. Endemic means consistently present in a population over long periods of time. It does not mean “less bad than a pandemic”. Malaria, dengue & yellow fever are all endemic in parts of Africa & Asia. 100000s get sick from them each year.

#AcademicFreedom. Essential to a just and fair society.

A few of my colleagues have noted, “You seem a bit more critical of the provincial government on Twitter these days.”
It’s incumbent on all of us to call out public policy that deliberately divides and disparages people, and that makes our most vulnerable worse off.

Many a Western Canadian premier has regretted asking questions like this about changing licence plate slogans. Gary Doer (swap "Friendly Manitoba" with "spirited energy"), Alison Redford (remove "Wild Rose Country") Brad Wall (remove wheat). Symbols are powerful.

Poll of the day: does "Wild Rose Country" tell you anything about the spirit and the people of Alberta?
It's time for an updated license plate slogan. How about:
A) Imagine the Possibilities
B) All that you can dream
C) The spirit of achievement
D) something else....

Another reason #universities are vitally necessary: bastions of unbiased, cutting-edge knowledge, AND the ability to speak truths, even in challenging circumstances:

Popping in to report that you all are amazing. In less than one week, you have donated over $15,000 to the @UANativeStudies faculty in honour of @danjlevy ‘s birthday.
Insert every David Rose gif of shock and love to know how we feel right now.
