The Warren G. Flowers Art Gallery presents an exhibition by Dawson alumna Kim Vose Jones, who is now based in Fredericton, New Brunswick. While researching her family genealogy, she discovered her ancestor, Ann Dodin, arrived in Quebec in 1669, along with over 800 French girls known as the Filles du Roi, who sailed to the New World to populate the land with French settlers. In four stunning tableaux, Jones draws a parallel with the fates of humans fleeing genocide, war, and poverty across the globe, and draws lines between the treatment of women, the environment, and the project of Empire then and in 2025.
This summer, Dawson’s renowned Research in Neuroscience Program marked its 10th anniversary with a lively celebration on Aug. 7.
