It’s time to inject some science into our Faculty Author Series. Dr. John Young will be here this week to discuss his latest research.    The presentation is entitled, A Thermal Stratification Trilogy: The Strange Properties of Water.   And it promises to be of interest to scientists and non-scientists alike. The talk will be held on Wednesday, November 2 at 1 o’clock in Room LI135 on the Library’s first floor. As always, everyone is welcome.   Hope you can join us.

The Library’s Faculty Author Series continues next week. Dr. Judy Haiven and Dr. Larry Haiven will be here to discuss their contribution to the book, Canada Since 1960: A People’s History – a Left Perspective on 50 Years of Politics, Economics and Culture (Lorimer, 2016). It will take place Tuesday, October 25 at 1 o’clock in Room LI135. The series features informal presentations by Saint Mary’s professors.   They will discuss their work and the research which went into it and you can ask questions about it. Everyone is welcome.   We’ll even have refreshments. See you there.

Our Faculty Author Series continues next week.   History Professor Dr. Michael Larsen will be here to talk about the research which went into the new publication, Irish Catholic Halifax: from the Napoleonic Wars to the Great War . Comprised largely of papers presented as part of a special “IRISH DAY” celebration of a Canadian Catholic Historical Association conference held in Halifax in 2014, it should prove to be a fascinating look at this chapter in our city’s cultural and religious history. The event will take place Wednesday, October 19 at 1 o’clock, in Room LI135 on the Library’s 1st floor. Members of the university and the public are all welcome to attend.
