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.
