Students stitch a global map of fast fashion
April 16th, 2026
Gisela Frias and Dawson’s Geography Department have developed a project called Mapping Fast Fashion. The ongoing pedagogical project is a means of exploring the present dominant economic model. It engages students in critically examining fast fashion and the global web of economic, social, and environmental relations that sustain it. Through a series of course assignments, students actively participate in research, knowledge production, collective mapping, and knowledge sharing.

The Lottery of Immigration
April 16th, 2026
As part of an intensive course this winter on Migrant Justice, we visited multiple organizations that devote themselves to migrants and help them with their struggles. In a class of around 25 students, we were led by Benjamin Lander, our teacher, to explore Montreal through the lens of migration. This adventure took place between Jan. 13 Jan. 16; we met for several more days in March. Our itinerary in January consisted of five organizations: The Immigrant Workers Center, the JIA Foundation in Chinatown, The Refugee Center, Welcome Collective, and Solidarity Across Borders. Each of these resources shed light on fundamental issues immigrants and undocumented people are faced with on the daily.

Faculty Learning Community connects students with independent journalism
April 16th, 2026
Journalism isn’t always boring. In fact, it can feel like a game of cops and robbers. That’s what ALC students discovered during a recent visit from Chris Curtis, founder of Montreal’s The Rover. The talk was organized through a Faculty Learning Community (FLC) on journalism and media literacy, which brings together faculty and others from across disciplines to develop tools and approaches for teaching media literacy in the classroom.
With over 37,000 Instagram followers, Chris has become known for condensing complex local issues into accessible reels, offering an alternative to mainstream media and meeting audiences where they already are. The approach resonated strongly with students.

Solidarity in action: a privileged perspective
March 26th, 2026
“The speakers in front of us were talking about exclusion, fear and vulnerability. We sat in the room as privileged students, protected by the same system that had failed them.”
This realization emerged during the four-day intensive Solidarity in Action: A Local Perspective (January 13–16), where, alongside our teacher Ben Lander, we met immigrants, refugee claimants, and representatives from non-profit organizations across Montreal. The class took the form of workshops and panel discussions, where speakers shared the realities of navigating a system that often works against them, encountering barriers in nearly every sphere of their daily lives.
