SUMMARY:Social Reproduction and One Health on the Farm: Feeding the World as if People Mattered
DESCRIPTION:Hear from anthropologist\, instructor and award winning science writer Dr. Andrew Flach. \nDr\, Flach is a renowned professor at Purdue University and will join the One Health Institute\, Guelph Institute of Development Studies and the Canada India Research Centre for Learning and Engagement in an engaging talk that asks big questions around the challenges and complexities of feeding the world. \nAlthough farms are living spaces that anchor diverse economies\, the challenge of feeding the world is dominated by narrow questions of yield\, efficiency\, and cost-benefit analysis. \nCombining streams from world ecology\, critical agrarian studies\, and diverse economies thinkers\, Flach will discuss anthropological case studies from India\, Bosnia\, and the U.S. Midwest to ask how small-scale agriculture supports living communities in place: feeding the world as if people mattered. \nCentral to this approach is viewing efficiency not as a function of yields\, profits\, or commodities produced but of reproducing the conditions for local health and wellbeing. The talk will center small-scale agriculture as an engine of social reproduction\, the continual creation of communities of practice. This analysis both helps to re-value the rippling benefits of local farm systems and illuminate the profound damage of commercial plantations that emphasize commodity production.

SUMMARY:Hibernate: A virtual\, creative workshop on caring for our mental health in winter
DESCRIPTION:Winter is a hard season for many of us. The days are shorter\, the quality of light is not as brilliant as the spring & summer months\, the cold temperatures limit our activities and often lead us to retreat inside. For these reasons and more\, our mental health can really suffer during the winter months. \nJoin us for this creative workshop as we focus on how winter can be a season of healing dormancy and restoration. We will use art to reflect upon the ways that we want to care for ourselves in this season. \nIf you attended this workshop when Jazmine hosted it last January 2023\, you are more than welcome to attend again. Though the theme remains the same\, the art directive will be unique.

SUMMARY:Stories as a Nurse and a Nomad
DESCRIPTION:Available in person AND online. \nJoin the AGG Volunteer Association as they welcome Renata Mares for a talk and presentation at 1 p.m. on Feb. 22. An AGG volunteer\, Renata works as an adaptation consultant and nurse educator. With a focus on public health\, Renata has been committed to assessing and improving the way the Canadian healthcare system functions and supports its workers\, especially nurses\, in the face of a healthcare crisis and pandemic. With a career that has taken her to four continents and thirty countries\, she lived and worked in Nunavut and the Yukon between 2015 and 2020\, a residency that transformed how she thinks about creative practice and wellbeing\, art and science. \nLiving within Inuit communities and engaging in community projects offered Renata direct engagement with artists in the North and their work across varied media\, as well as a deeper appreciation of the personal and social roles art plays. Living among northern communities also allowed Renata to build conversations with artists\, collecting not only art\, but stories of their motivation. Renata will speak about these experiences that have shaped her insight into building trust and resilience among individuals and communities\, as well as the profound impact of artistic exploration on health\, healing\, and wellbeing. \nJoin in person at the Art Gallery of Guelph\, or virtually on Zoom.
