Fireside Series: Interdisciplinary Conversations
On behalf of the Library, the Faculty of Arts & Science, and Geography and Planning, the Fireside Series extends invitations for discussions between two scholars from different disciplines.
We are open to as wide an interdisciplinary conversation as possible. The first in the series was with Professor Deborah Britzman (York University, Education) and Professor Laura Cameron (Queen's University, Geography and Planning) discussing Freud.
The dedicated site for the Fireside Series is the Alan G. Green Fireplace Reading Room at the Stauffer Library. That room is today the site for students studying for exams, but thank you to the Agnes for allowing us to use the Etherington House for this second discussion in the Series.
