The Faculty of Arts is pleased to offer the fourth event in its new ConneXions Seminar Series. Join us on Zoom, Friday, April 23, 2021, at 2:00 pm, when Dr. Yuliya Rashchupkina will present 鈥淐limate Resilience and Climate Catastrophe Narratives: Is There Any Place for International Solidarity?鈥�

Abstract:

As the negative impacts of climate change become more and more evident, the different narratives around living in a future with increasing temperatures have been established by scholars and international organizations working on the issues of climate change and development. While these narratives are vastly diverse, two groups of discourses may be discerned: one of calamity, disaster and social hardship, while the other is of resilient communities capable of withstanding unprecedented challenges. Dr. Rashchupkina will discuss the limitations of the discourse of resiliency-oriented communities and of the discourse of calamity-unfolding events, arguing that both narratives are limited in their scope and the ability to mobilize actions that will facilitate the revamping of fossil fuels-based major economies and lead to the further enhancement of global justice. She will then demonstrate how the notion of international solidarity, currently overlooked in mainstream solutions to climate change, will help to overcome the limitations of both discourses.

Ramadan Mubarak to all from the International Student Office! May this month be generous with blessings, love, and peace to you and your loved ones.

Some reminders about Ramadan:

- Ramadan is a holy month of fasting practiced by Muslims all around the world. It will end approximately on May 12th and goes by the lunar calendar.

- Fasting means no food or water- not even chewing gum. Fasting is done from dawn until dusk. Students may be up until midnight for prayers and up again to eat before dawn. In PEI, this translates to roughly 16 hours and those studying abroad could be fasting for up to 21 hours.

- Not all Muslims may be fasting and may participate in the religion in various and different ways. There are many reasons for this and it doesn鈥檛 dictate a person鈥檚 religiosity.

- There are many resources available online, should you like to learn more.

Muslim students, faculty and staff may be hungry, dehydrated and tired come the afternoon and towards the end of the day. Due to the pandemic and limitations on gatherings, this may feel lonelier for those practicing. It is commonly a very social time where communal gatherings to break fast, eat together, and pray occur. 

We thank you all for creating a caring and supportive environment for our Muslim community on campus this Ramadan and every day.

Thank you,

The 糖心vlog官方入口 International Student Office
