Most of us spend our academic lives reading and writing, but there are many ways to learn and teach.
This week, students in the new “Living Lake Ontario: From the Local to the Global” course learned how to express their thoughts about the lake with charcoal and paper.
A crash-course from Fine Arts instructor Alejandro Arauz complimented talks from two local artists who spoke about their connection to Lake Ontario and how they use that in their art work.
Queen’s is located on one of the greatest lakes in the world, but most students have little interaction with it during their time in Kingston. This interview with Professor David McDonald discusses why he developed this course: to introduce students to a range of historical and contemporary issues related to Lake Ontario, from the livelihoods of Indigenous communities to fisheries, urban planning, sewage treatment and artistic engagement with the water.
After learning about safe fish eating in Lake Ontario from Colin Lake of the Ministry of Natural Resources, and then learning about efforts to revitalize fisheries in Akwesasne First Nation from Abraham Francis, the students got a lesson in how to clean fish from Chef Cody Balfour from Hospitality Services at Queen’s, followed by a sampling of freshly caught pike, perch and crappies direct from the lake the day before from Bay Williams Fisheries. A truly 100-mile diet!
A new course at Queen's University in Kingston, Ont., is offering students an opportunity to immerse themselves in Lake Ontario, both figuratively and literally.
