Below the Radar explores the transformational capacity of dialogue with apiculturist, award-winning author, and SFU Professor of Biological Sciences Mark Winston. He is in conversation with host Am Johal about SFU’s Semester in Dialogue program and the importance of providing students with opportunities to be engaged with their communities.

Mark shares how part of a university’s job is to help people realize who they want to be in the world, speaking to the impact of alternative pedagogical models that embrace dialogue and art. We hear stories from his time as director of the Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue, and the complex process of creating a non-traditional, interdisciplinary program such as the Semester in Dialogue.

They speak about Mark’s journey with dialogue, which grew out of his fascination with bee communication. He also talks about the shortcomings of dialogue, what conversations need to be elevated emerging from the pandemic, and how we can translate them into building equity and compassion for all.

Working at the intersection of race, class, gender, sexuality, Jen Sungshine collaborates with fellow Love Intersections artists to celebrate diasporic narratives of queer identities.

She shares some recent Love Intersections projects, including Yellow Peril: Queer Destiny, a short documentary following Vancouver drag artist Maiden China and a subsequent visual art installation — both inspired by the Chinese five elements as a framework to explore the artists’ experiences of Chineseness and queerness.

Welcome to Minor Revisions, a podcast that demystifies the process of writing for academic journals. This short ‘trailer’ describes the purpose of the podcast (to demystify the publishing process through behind the scenes stories told by published authors) and highlights who might be interested in listening to future episodes (many people, we hope!). Later this Fall, we’ll release our first episode, in which geographer Luiza Bialasiewicz and anthropologist Sabrina Stallone discuss how they wrote and published their recent article in the journal Politics & Space.

A visual artist who grew up in Vancouver’s Chinatown, Gwen Boyle’s work explores movement, history, and place. The granddaughter of a Pender Street jeweller, Gwen draws inspiration from the sights and sounds of her childhood — the clinking of beads on an abacus, the hammering of jade, the melting of gold. 

Gwen is in conversation with host Am Johal about experiences from her Chinatown upbringing. She shares what led her to pursue a lifelong career in art, and her fascination with the Arctic. She also speaks to some of her particular works, including the public art installation, “Abacus (Suan Phan),” an interactive sculpture symbolic of the “merchants and old social fabric of Shanghai Alley and Chinatown.”

Bio:
Gwen Boyle is originally from Vancouver and after many years of living and working in the Yukon returned to that city to study art while raising a family. She received her diploma from the Vancouver School of Art – now Emily Carr University of Art + Design – in the early 1970′s, and after further sculpture studies under Jack Harman, graduated with honours in bronze casting in 1975. While she has made smaller works, her interest has always been in large scale, interactive sculptures and she has explored this most extensively in my public art commissions. She enjoys the challenge of making public art – from the historic research of site, to engineering problem solving, to the knowledgeable and enthusiastic specialists she works alongside during the long creative process. In 1989 she was fortunate to spend time again in the North, this time travelling to Resolute in Canada’s high arctic to make art. This was a significant experience in her life and career, and the memory of that landscape and human relation to it has stayed with her ever since. She currently lives and works in Vancouver, near to the ocean and a different kind of inspiring natural and urban expanse.
