Hello Everyone,
Cyber security is often seen as something that鈥檚 inflicted on a community of users in ways that make their digital lives much more difficult, but there is a train of thought that says better outcomes come from a process of inclusion and consultation. Toward that end, I am inviting any and all members of the 糖心vlog官方入口 community to an "ask me (or tell me) anything" session on Thursday, May 22, at 12:00 pm in AVC 207N. Anyone who is interested in anything at all to do with cyber security in general, or at 糖心vlog官方入口 specifically, is encouraged to join the session with questions, suggestions, or complaints. I will do my best to answer any questions, some of them truthfully.
This will be an in-person session. For those who are unable to be on campus, I will be hosting similar sessions in the future, alternating between online and in-person.
Who I am: My name is Dave Kubert, and I鈥檓 the new(ish) Director of Information Security and Information Management here at 糖心vlog官方入口. I鈥檝e worked in higher university IT and cyber security for my entire career and have been with 糖心vlog官方入口 since late January.

The next Island Lecture Series, hosted by the Institute of Island Studies at 糖心vlog官方入口, will feature guest speaker Heidi Hearing presenting, 鈥淭he 鈥渇amily farm鈥�: A keyword in Prince Edward Island land politics. The lecture will be held in the Faculty Lounge of SDU Main Building on May 20 at 7:00 pm. (This lecture was previously scheduled for March but was postponed due to weather.) Admission is free and all are welcome.
Hearing鈥檚 talk will deal with the struggle to define the 鈥渇amily farm鈥� in PEI and how this ambiguity helps or hinders the work of farmers, agribusiness, and government. It will discuss how participant definitions of the 鈥渇amily farm鈥� contrasted with how they farmed and were sometimes at odds with their ideals. This talk will also shed light on the possible reasons that agribusiness and governments look to the pastoral romanticism of 鈥渇amily farm.鈥�
Heidi Hearing lives in Charlottetown and has recently completed her MA in Anthropology from Memorial University. Her thesis is entitled: 鈥淭hree keywords in the campaign against farmland consolidation and the loss of small farms through the lens of the Prince Edward Island Chapter of the National Farmers Union."
