R4R@Q - Research and the Sustainable Development Goals

Date

Tuesday February 6, 2024
3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Location

DDQIC Rose Event Commons, Mitchell Hall

At the heart of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These goals recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests. Queen’s research is driving progress on many of the SDGs, with Queen’s recently ranked 3rd in the world and 1st in Canada and North America in the Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings, which assess how universities are advancing the UN SDGs within and beyond their local communities. This panel will bring together four researchers from different disciplines who are leading the way in addressing SDGs.

This is an in-person only event.

Presenters:

Benjamin Bolden (Faculty of Education)

Colleen Davison (Public Health Sciences)

Kevin De France (Chemical Engineering)

Warren Mabee (School of Policy Studies)

Moderator:

Heather Aldersey (School of Rehabilitation Therapy and Special Advisor to the Principal on UN SDGs)

Statement regarding the Queen’s budget

It is unusual for a leader of a university to post a statement publicly regarding coverage of the institution in national news. That being said, it is imperative at this point for me to set the record straight. Anyone reading this will likely have seen headlines suggesting Queen’s is losing its position as a top tier institution and may be under threat of financial ruin. I can assure you none of this is true. While the current financial situation for Queen’s poses challenges, the same is true for most postsecondary institutions in Ontario.

A legacy of student initiative

In this issue of the Alumni Review, Greg McArthur writes about the Queen’s Journal as it celebrates 150 years of student writing, reporting and critique. Founded in 1873, the Journal is amongst the oldest student-run newspapers in North America, and as Greg observes, it has become Queen’s “secret” school of journalism, over the years training countless students in the required skills and professional ethics of the field.

University celebrates employees

Queen’s employees gathered for the annual holiday celebration on Thursday, Dec. 14 at the Athletics and Recreation Centre.

The reception offered a wide selection of food and drinks provided by Hospitality Services, while staff and faculty members mingled and reconnected with colleagues from across the university. 

Several bins of non-perishable food items were collected and donated to the AMS Food Bank. Those donating were entered into the draw for a gingerbread house – a model of 355 King St. W – with the winning ticket going to Donna Wolf.

Worms and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

Chris Carlton and Ian Matheson are pre-service teacher educators in the Faculty of Education who have taken on a timely challenge as part of their work at Queen’s – finding a new way to get elementary school children excited about sustainability. Their goal was to create a fun, hands-on, school-wide project that would also show the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) in action. And this is where the worms came in.
