Caesar-Chavannes, medical student Suffia Malik, and Dean Philpott discuss how our growingly diverse community at Queen's can be better supported to observe religious and cultural dates that are often overlooked.

Episode 5 - Cancel Culture
What is deemed an (un)acceptable act? Who gets to decide what is an (un)acceptable act? How do we respond to cancel culture and social accountability?

Episode 6 - Labels
We have a need to categorize and group people into specific labels based on self-identified and imposed identities. Caesar-Chavannes, Medical student Ryan Truong (QHS Outreach and Summer Program coordinator) and accessibility researcher Mahadeo Sukhai (Department of Ophthalmology), unpack the labelling of individuals and groups and how we navigate through power structures with these identities.
