TO SHOW, TO GIVE, TO MAKE IT BE THERE
January 9 to March 13, 2010
The exhibition TO SHOW, TO GIVE, TO MAKE IT BE THERE revisits a moment in our recent history when the notions of hybridity and interdisciplinarity were the norm. The fifteen years from 1954 to 1969 were special for many reasons, but they also paved to way for, and catalyzed subsequent cultural production that uses collage and 'mixed media' as its basis.

Tuesday - Friday: 10am to 5pm, Saturday: 12pm to 5pm
The Gallery will be closed from February 12 to 27, 2010

THE CHALLENGES TO CRIMINOLOGY IN A SECURITY-OBSESSED SOCIETY
Burnaby campus, Halpern Centre, rm 126
The world has changed since the events of 9/11. Western democratic governments have become obsessed with internal security and have created legislation and practises that challenge both their traditional human rights legislation, international conventions, and even international court rulings. Such measures as indefinite imprisonment without trial, the use of torture, “no-fly” lists, limits on free speech, rules against group strolls in the park in Toronto, and the mandatory retention of DNA of individuals with no convictions, have all arisen within modern democracies. Unfortunately, criminologists, social scientists, and academics who are expected to be society’s guardians and used to be the first to protest violations of human rights and freedoms and other undemocratic measures, have been conspicuous by their silence. Could this apathy, indifference and complacency be explained? Is there any hope for change?
With Ezzat Fattah. All members of the SFU community are welcome to attend these events, no registration is required and admission is free.
