Hear Angela Washko discuss her game/dating simulator
The Digital Humanities Speaker Series begins again for the 2017-18 year, by welcoming digital artist Angela Washko to campus. Washko will discuss her project “The Game: The Game 2.0,” a video game/dating simulator that she says explores “the complexity of the construction of social behaviors around dating as well as the experience of being a femme-presenting individual navigating this complicated terrain.” Washko’s work is featured in a solo exhibit at Squeaky Wheel, from September 15 to December 9.
To learn more about this and related events, see the Digital Humanities Group site.

Organizers of Women’s March on Washington to Speak at Canisius
National Co-chairs Mallory and Bland present “Building Trust: Organizing for Social Justice”
The William H. Fitzpatrick Chair of Political Science Lecture Series at Canisius College will welcome to campus two nationally-recognized organizers of the Women’s March on Washington. National Co-chairs Tamika D. Mallory and Bob Bland will speak at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 26 in the Montante Cultural Center. Their lecture, entitled “Building Trust: Organizing for Social Justice,” is free and open to the public.
Tamika Mallory and Bob Bland were two of four national co-chairs of the Women’s March, held in Washington, D.C. on January 21, 2017. The march mobilized five million people of all backgrounds and from all seven continents in an effort to call attention to a world that is equitable, tolerant, just and safe and one in which the human rights and dignity of each person is protected, and the planet is safe from destruction. Grounded in the nonviolent ideology of the Civil Rights Movement, the Women’s March was the largest coordinated protest in U.S. history.
