Hey guys, recently I went on a field school for our most recent project about Stories of Hope and I have to say it was one of the most impactful trips I’ve ever been on. However, before we can get there it is important to talk about the context of the trip so you can […]

What is a Story of Hope?
What is a story of hope? It probably a term you’ve heard used before bot when you think about it, and I mean really think about it, do you know what it means? There’s probably a few words that come to mind when you think about stories of hope. Words like adversity, resilience, survival, and […]
The Horror of Reality
Hey guys, it’s been a sec but I’m back and better than ever. Our most recent project surrounded horror and how it is used to comment on society and its fears. In fact, the driving question for this project was Why is horror an effective way to reflect and comment on our society? Throughout this […]

Hiroshima and The Weight of Morals
The Winter Exhibition has come and gone once again and with it, our main project for the semester.

However, that’s not really the full extent […]
How the Airplane Changed the World

Planes have become an everyday part of society, so much so that it’s almost impossible to imagine […]
We The People
Hey guys, the first project of the year has just come to a close and as with every project comes reflection. This project is no exception. As you may have already been able to tell by my previous couple of posts, this project came in the wake of the Canadian federal election that had taken […]
