"Social Media: Mobilizing for #good or #evil" discussion series
7:00PM
The Bullring

This discussion was organized by the Office of Intercultural Affairs (Student Life) and will focus on the role social media has played in mobilizing political protests, social justice movements, and wide-scale civil unrest. For example, social media (e.g. Facebook, Twitter and YouTube) have been credited with facilitating the “Arab Spring” political movements, civil unrest during the recent G20 summit in Toronto, and most recently mass rioting in London. Panellists include Professor Mark Lipton, Robert Routledge, Kyle Mackie and a representative from the Guelph Debate Society. The moderator for the session will be Dr. Tamara Small.

Join Chef Michael Stadtlander and 80 of the best chefs from across Canada for an outdoor, pay-what-you can, public food event in support of the movement to Stop The Mega Quarry. All funds raised will go to fighting the mega quarry application that has been put forward by the Highland Companies to create a limestone quarry over 2,300 acres in size on prime, fertile agricultural land and digging into pristine aquifers. Each chef will prepare one item, celebrating the local bounty and encouraging Ontarians to stand up and have their voice heard by the government.

Everyone is welcome. Please dress accordingly (i.e. wear BOOTS)--this is an outdoor event in a field. We also encourage you to bring your own plates and cutlery to cut down on waste and clean up.
