The Speculator is on through Feb. 8
January 30th, 2025
The Speculator, which opened Jan. 29, is being performed tonight, Friday and this weekend and next week as well before closing on Feb. 8
The play is a historical drama set in early 18th century France, when the country is experiencing some of its lowest economic moments. John Law, Scottish economist, gambler and conman, arrives in Paris with a plan to stimulate the French economy. He hires playwright Marivaux to write a play to distract and entertain investors. The French government, nobility, and commoners alike are swept up in the frenzy of Law’s scheme, the Mississippi Company, only to have it come crashing down. A play about greed and deception. Directed by Stefanie Buxton and performed by the third-year graduating students of the Professional Theatre program.
Members of the Dawson community, including students, employees, alumni and retirees, benefit from reduced rates.

Social Science Week is Feb. 3-7
January 29th, 2025
The Social Science program is once again offering a week of talks on a variety of topics that will be of interest to the entire college community. Social Science Week will take place Feb. 3 to 7. The program is found here.
Social Science Week is an opportunity for students to see what contemporary Social Scientists are up to and to learn more about the many pathways Social Science study can lead to. It is also a moment to reflect deeply on the most meaningful questions we face at this point in history, questions about climate catastrophe, our rapidly changing media landscapes, art-making and race-relations, and how to think about conflict, both locally and abroad. These talks invite students and faculty to step out of the constraints of the traditional classroom, and into conversations about the world that is and the world that is to come.

Do you think E.T. is here? Now?
November 7th, 2024
“E.T, here?, now?” is a special session that will take place during Social Science Week (Feb. 3-6, 2025). The session focuses on recent discussions and disclosures concerning the possibility/plausibility/probability of humankind not being alone in the “here” and “now” on Earth and will be moderated by Dr. Richard Soare. Dr. Soare is a member of the Geography Department and has published over 125 articles, book chapters, extended abstracts and encyclopaedia references in his 25 years of work in planetary science, principally on Mars.
The session will comprise four brief (8-10 minutes) oral contributions from four people (two Dawson College faculty members and two Dawson College students) on either side of the question, i.e. a faculty member and a student on the “pro” side and the same on the “con” side.
There will be an open call for participants from Friday, Nov. 8 to Wednesday Nov. 13. If you are keen to participate, please summarize your thoughts on the session subject in 50-75 words and drop a printed copy of them into a storage bin placed outside of Dr. Soare’s office (4D-22) during the solicitation period. Please ensure that your summary includes your full name, email address and whether you are a faculty member or a student. Successful candidates will be contacted no later than Nov. 22.
