This hands-on workshop will introduce students to the modern, no-cost, digital note-taking tool, Obsidian (or Zettlr). Integrated with Zotero and used in an academic framework, these tools can foster productive research writing. The workshop will help students start practising the principles of a Zettelkasten technique to build a personal knowledge base of literature notes, interlinked ideas, long-form writing, visual concept maps, and more. It will show how to associate Obsidian notes with bibliographic information in Zotero as part of the research writing workflow. The workshop will revolve around Obsidian's structure as a markdown file editing tool, suited to short or longform notes stored as a knowledge graph or in a hierarchy. The workshop will include the option to use the tool Zettlr instead of Obsidian and will cover techniques for writing with Markdown and options for transforming notes into other digital forms. It does not require programming knowledge but participants should already be comfortable using Zotero.

Cinéma du Musée and Concordia University present a special film series to celebrate 50 years of cinema. This series is part of Concordia’s 50th anniversary, and will be a monthly rendez-vous from September 2024 to May 2025 at Cinéma du Musée. Nine feature films were curated by Dr. Martin Lefebvre, Professor and Research Chair in Film Studies at Concordia’s Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema, and Jean-François Lamarche, Head of programming at Cinémas Beaubien, du Parc et du Musée. The selected films offer a portrait of cinema in 1974 and 1975 in Quebec, in North America and abroad. The mid-’70s were a key period in the evolution of film, as art-house cinema started occupying a greater place amongst the blockbusters of the era. The film cycle showcases films that were critically acclaimed upon release, as well as lesser-known, sometimes forgotten yet influential titles that deserve to be rediscovered by cinephiles. "What became the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema was born at a time when international film culture was extremely rich. Screening the great films that our students and professors discovered while they themselves participated in the development of a film culture in our city seems like the best way to celebrate our 50th anniversary." – Dr. Martin Lefebvre 1974-75 : Cinquante ans de cinéma à Concordia

A microaggression is a brief, however commonplace verbal or behavioral action. These actions communicate negative and harmful messages towards, and about, individuals or groups that are historically underserved and underrepresented. How do microaggressions manifest in the workplace, and what impacts do they have on a person or group? Through a guided conversation, this workshop will help participants become aware of their own biases, understand the impact of microaggressions, and consider how they can intervene when they occur to help create a more supportive work and/or learning environment.
