Parenting, teaching, and caring for others can be deeply rewarding. They can also leave you stretched thin, second-guessing yourself, and wondering whether you’re making a difference. Join Dr. Jody Carrington for an evening exploring a question that matters at home, in the classroom, and beyond: What if feeling seen changes everything? Drawing on the themes of Feeling Seen, this conversation will explore the power of human connection and why supporting others starts with recognizing our own need for support. 

This November at Hot Dogs & Hot Takes on History, Mount Royal University professor Kirk Niergarth considers Canada’s ‘democracy’ from the country’s inception to present day. From New Brunswick’s first election in 1785 to Alberta’s recent referendum, Kirk will explore episodes illustrating the struggles for and limits imposed upon democracy in Canada. One hundred years ago, Calgary was the site of Alberta’s first successful recall petition, and a special election fought over public provision of textbooks in schools. Looking backwards, were Calgarians more committed to democracy in 1926 than we are today?
