Abstract:听As private university residences have emerged as a new frontier of investment by sophisticated financial actors, international students have also become scapegoats of Canada鈥檚 housing affordability crisis, and scholarship increasingly describes purportedly global processes of 鈥渟tudentification,鈥 remaking some neighbourhoods as isolated 鈥渂ubbles鈥 or enclaves of student life. Drawing on recent and ongoing research in Montreal and elsewhere, I argue that student housing presents a valuable portal through which to understand broader urban dynamics.

Abstract:听Queerburbia is a neologism coined as a counterargument to queer metronormativities. By bringing the queer and suburban into focus, it redirects attention to the less visible LGBTQ2S lives lived across the peripheries of metropolitan areas. Conceptually, it seeks to alter North American suburbia鈥檚 iconic reputation for heterocisnormative erasure and enrich the suburban studies 鈥渄iversity paradigm鈥 by integrating peripheral queer placemaking practices.

The Neuro's Olszewski Lecture, established in 1986, honours Dr. Jerzy Olszewski (1913鈥1964), a pioneering neuroanatomist and neuropathologist. Invited to The Neuro by Dr. Wilder Penfield in 1948, Olszewski collaborated on the seminal Cytoarchitecture of the Human Brain Stem, advancing the understanding of brainstem structures and cementing his legacy in neuroscience.

Abstract:听The tropics are experiencing dramatic changes as a result of climate change and land-use change. Shifts in carbon flux dynamics, water cycling, and species composition are resulting in feedbacks with globally important consequences. However, tropical forests are not a monolith. They vary enormously in terms of species diversity, climate, soils, human interactions, and much more. As a result, tropical forest ecosystems will almost certainly vary in their responses to global change. Yet, these differences remain highly uncertain and poorly understood.
There is no IHSE Meeting today due to being held in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
