SUMMARY:Visions of Generative AI: Historical and ethical dimensions of visual media literacy in the era of AI
DESCRIPTION:Date: October 8 2025 \n\n\n\nWhether you regularly engage with visual generative AI or are just dipping your toe into these waters\, this workshop focuses on recognizing sources of image biases and its impacts and implications as artificial images become increasingly sophisticated and ubiquitous. Applying a combined historical and ethics lens\, workshop participants will have the opportunity to generate and analyze artificial images as a means of unpacking continuity and changes in visual practices and norms. The workshop supports the development of critical reflection skills and tools for creating and ‘reading’ images that avoid potential pitfalls of (re)producing harmful clichés and to support identification of mis/disinformation. The workshop has relevance for academic integrity along with navigating our daily visual landscape\, which in turn has implications for democracy\, civic engagement\, and human relationships. At a time when visual evidence/truth\, dis/misinformation and academic integrity are at stake\, there is no time like the present to gain a solid foundation on visual literacy. \n\n\n\nBy the end of the workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nIdentify opportunities\, pitfalls and potential harms of visual generative AI to make informed decisions on its use in educational and every-day life settings by exploring recent examples.\n\n\n\nUnpack the role of audience engagement with visual images in the era of AI to critically analyse the impacts of and to support responsible use of this new technology.\n\n\n\nTrace biases and ethically problematic visual stereotypes present in AI-generated images through comparison and critical reflection of historical cases\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop is great for students\, educators\, researchers\, and professionals interested in developing critical visual literacy skills to responsibly engage with AI-generated images in academic\, creative\, or everyday contexts! \n\n\n\nDetails: Any preparatory work for the session can be found on its information page. This virtual workshop will be recorded and shared on the same page\, and discoverable via the Sherman Centre’s Online Learning Catalogue. \n\n\n\nFacilitator Bio:  \n\n\n\nDr. Sonya de Laat is the Academic Program Advisor and Curriculum Coordinator in the School of Global Health and Social Medicine\, and a Research Associate with the Department of Health Research Methods\, Evidence\, and Impact at McMaster University. With degrees in Anthropology and Media Studies\, Dr. de Laat’s work has focused on historical and ethical dimensions of humanitarian visual culture and action. Currently\, her focus is on challenging the promises/hopes of photorealistic generative AI and sharing diverse visual histories as a corrective intervention. Her postdoctoral work focused on moral and practical dimensions of palliative care in refugee camps drawing attention to small interventions having big impacts\, and the importance of co-design and partnered research. Dr. de Laat is an active member of the Humanitarian Health Ethics research group\, and the Canadian Network on Humanitarian History. Representative publications include\, “Assembling a global health image: Ethical and pragmatic tensions through the lenses of photographers” (PLOS Glob Public Health 2024)\, “A case analysis of partnered research on palliative care for refugees in Jordan and Rwanda” (Confl Health 2021)\, and “The Camera and the Red Cross: ‘Lamentable pictures’ and Conflict Photography Bring into Focus an International Movement\, 1855-1865” (IRRC 2021). \n\n\n\nCertificate Eligibility: This workshop is eligible for the Sherman Centre’s certificate program.

SUMMARY:Les éditathons Wikipédia comme mode de création de communauté with Pascale Dangoisse (University of Ottawa and Wikipedia)
DESCRIPTION:Date: October 15 2026 \n\n\n\nCette séance d’introduction pratique explore comment les marathons d’édition Wikipédia peuvent devenir des leviers puissants pour créer des communautés et promouvoir l’équité des savoirs. La séance démystifiera le processus de contribution à Wikipédia tout en soulignant son importance — notamment pour mieux représenter les groupes marginalisés. Nous aborderons la valeur du savoir libre et ouvert\, les biais systémiques dans le contenu existant\, ainsi que la manière dont l’édition collective peut devenir à la fois une stratégie pédagogique et une forme d’activisme. Que vous soyez néophyte ou intéressé·e à intégrer Wikipédia à votre enseignement ou votre recherche\, cette séance vous outillera pour participer activement à la construction d’un bien commun numérique plus inclusif. [option virtuelle disponible] \n\n\n\nLes recherches doctorales de Pascale Dangoisse (Wikipédia et Université d’Ottawa) se sont intéressées à la compréhension de la persistance de la discrimination systémique dans des environnements politiques libéraux ou progressistes. Elle a obtenu une bourse de recherche postdoctoral au Laboratoire en humanités numériques de l’Université d’Ottawa\, où elle a travaillé sur le projet Lesbian and Gay Liberation Canada\, dirigé par Constance Crompton. Dans le cadre de ses fonctions comme chargée de programmes pour Wikimédia Canada\, elle soutient les Wikimédiennes et Wikimédiens au Canada en planifiant et en mettant en œuvre divers programmes et projets qui soutiennent la construction d’un bien commun numérique plus inclusif.

SUMMARY:Learning to Love the Jaggies: Designing Bitmapped Fonts
DESCRIPTION:Date: October 21 2025 \n\n\n\n Instructor: Reg Beatty \n\n\n\nEarly digital type designers were challenged by having a limited grid of pixels to create their letterforms for computers\, handheld devices\, video and arcade games. These blocky fonts were one of the distinguishing features of the 70s through the 90s and are mostly used today for a retro look. \n\n\n\nJoin Reg as he tours the variety and ingenuity of these early types. He’ll concentrate on two designers: Susan Kare\, who created Chicago (which became a defining font for the look of the Macintosh computer); and Zuzana Licko who co-founded Emigre Fonts in 1985 and designed a number of widely-used pixel fonts. He’ll also look at how these designers were inspired by letterforms on textiles.  \n\n\n\nReg will then demonstrate the process of making your own bitmapped font with BitFontMaker2. \n\n\n\nFor those of you that would like a more hands-on experience of the tool there will be a two hour workshop on Friday October 24 (see the following listing to register.)
