SFU Shadbolt Graduate Liberal Studies Big Ideas Seminar Series The Graduate Liberal Studies Big Ideas Seminar Series provides participants with an opportunity to revisit, re-think, and reframe many of the most influential works of Western culture in light of current topics of social im-portance. Each seminar consists of two two-hour semi-nar/workshops on a wide range of topics and will be presented by GLS PhD students.

WHERE THE BOYS ARE: THE ROLE OF MEN IN THE 21ST CENTURYQuestions hang over the function of males in post-indus-trial societies. No longer required, nor perhaps desired, as traditional providers and protectors, many young men flounder educationally and appear purposeless as adults. Even their basic reproductive function is debatable. Here we will consider what men want and what they are for. Do frameworks exist that synchronize young men’s aspi-rations with society’s needs, and if so how should they be applied? Please call Century House to sign up. Thursday, 1:00 - 3:00 pm (Facilitator: John Carter)September 21 & 28Registration Required: Free

WORK AND CARE: DUTY OR JOY?Work and Care figure prominently as indicators of a life well lived. However, many of us feel exhausted by the demands of work and burdened by the needs of others. In this seminar, we will examine the eco-nomic and ethical foundations that have contributed to our current state of fatigue and disaffection, and explore theories that may offer alternatives lead-ing to greater fulfillment and well-being. Please call Century House to sign up. Facilitators: Duane Fontaine and Kerstin Stuerzbecher Thursday, 7:00 - 9:00 pm October 12 & 19Registration Required: Free

CULTURE, IDENTITY AND FOOD - AN EXPLORATIONIn cultural terms, food represents a lot more than nour-ishment. It can function as a touchstone of identity, a marker of class and status, a magic potion that heals or harms, and a divider or unifier of socio-cultural groups. In this seminar we will explore how groups and indi-viduals use food habits, in particular restrictions and prohibitions, to create and bolster socio-cultural identi-ties, and how food fads arise and evolve. Call Century House to sign up. Wednesday, 7:00 - 9:00 pm (Facilitator: Carol Tulpar)November 15 & 22Registration Required: Free
