  • 5: The End of Diversity
    Canada tends to compare itself to the United States in a positive light when it comes to dealing with citizenship and migration. Canada's entire cultural policy revolves around the idea of multiculturalism... but what does that really mean?

    Today, Professor Kevin Lewis O’Neill sits down with Professor Rinaldo Walcott to discuss Canada's diversity policies, which often hide the harsh reality of inequality and racism in our society.

  • 4: Secrets from 17th Century Vietnam

    We like to imagine that our understanding of the past is well rounded.
    But history has secrets and, too often, we’ve settled for incomplete stories.Mostly, we know tales that are loud, bold, and dominant. They dictate what stories are told... and what is left to be forgotten.
    Today, Professor Kevin Lewis O’Neill sits down with Professor Nhung Tran to look at the lives of Vietnamese Catholics in the seventeenth century. They discuss how taking a closer look and reading between the lines can unlock the secrets that the dead leave behind and shift the narrative of our past.

  • 3: Voice and Revolution
    Controversy can come from almost anywhere. With outlets like Facebook and Twitter, even the most entertaining of topics can get out of hand. So, it’s important to understand that entertainment sits atop years of historical and cultural context. And people, because of how they fit into that history, can have visceral reactions to things that to some appear inconsequential. Questions like ‘who cares?’ or ‘why does it even matter?’ are important... They are key to understanding the discourse and exposing the larger issues at hand.

    Today, Professor Kevin Lewis O’Neill sits down with Professor Farzaneh Hemmasi to discuss how the Googoosh Music Academy stirred up the emotions of millions of people—spread across the globe all at once—and how those emotions were tied to a deep understanding of what it means to be Iranian.

  • 2: The Language of Freud
    How does Freud understand language, and how does this language change between the different levels of id, ego, and the super-ego?

    This episode explores the diasporic nature of psychoanalysis, by looking at jokes, dreams, and the very history of its founder.

    Please join us today for a conversation with Professor Naomi Seidman from the University of Toronto.

  • 1: Lessons in Space
    Space… space… space- Yes there’s a whole lot of it out there. But it’s also… here.The shape of the metro trolley, the street names you glance at as you walk by, the inside of a mascot’s costume.All these spaces govern the way we interact with each other,And the way we understand our world.How?

    Join us today for a conversation with Professor Ato Quayson from Stanford University.
