during his acceptance speech over zoom, prof. mark nisenholt spoke about
his life in the arts.

december 21, 2022 – thunder bay, ont.

prof. mark nisenholt was recently inducted into the royal canadian academy of arts.

on saturday, nov. 26, the popular thunder bay artist and professor emeritus from 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 attended an rcaa ceremony through zoom that celebrated his work in computer illustration.

“i feel very honoured to be recognized by the rcaa and very grateful as well,” prof. nisenholt said.

if you’ve walked around thunder bay’s marina, you’ve no doubt seen his work.

he created paleogirls, the swimmers, and ulysses – amazing public art installations along pier 2 depicting giant figures that explore our relationship to water and nature.

in addition to creating his own art, as a 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 professor from 1979 until 2015 he taught roughly 600 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and provided advice to several hundreds more as the chair of the visual arts department.

“i am very excited and proud to learn of the successes of my 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 ,” he said.

“that is what teaching is all about. but i am also proud of my 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 who continue at their artwork whether or not they achieve worldly success, because the inner satisfaction in making art is the true reward.”

as the first full-time professor of visual arts at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 , prof. nisenholt described his life in the arts with three words - imagining, creating, and sharing.

being an artist has allowed him the freedom to use his imagination in the most refined way that he knows.

“my work is always a kind of improvised reaction to what is happening to me or to the world around me,” he said.

“i use any tools that will help me advance or cultivate my creative impulse. the digital tools – computers, cameras, and graphic software – let me create pictures that i could not accomplish otherwise.

“generally my imagery is based on something real, like a photo, but it often strays quite far from its origins.”

prof. nisenholt is usually most proud of his latest work, but he is also very proud of his public art – such as his work at the marina and the various artworks on display at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 – because he knows many people will experience it.

he also feels as if the work is never fully completed.

“as an artist i am always mentally trying to improve on them,” he said.

his most recent work is a series of pictures featuring crows, ravens and human/raven hybrid creatures. you can see it here and here.

prof. nisenholt taught at mount allison university as a sabbatical replacement in 1978 and 1985.

“for an artist, there is no better position to be in than to be able to work in a university setting accompanied by sympathetic and creative colleagues – to engage on a daily basis with the creative minds of 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and to be allowed to pursue your own creative work as well,” he said.

“my great thanks to lakehead and mount allison for the privilege.”

shakira mohammed, a phd student in psychology, is receiving a $105,000 canada graduate scholarship
from sshrc to study how perfectionism is associated with depression and other symptoms in university 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
over three years.

december 19, 2022 – thunder bay, ont.

阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 graduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 are receiving more than $410,000 in grants from the canadian institutes of health research, the natural sciences and engineering research council, and the social sciences and humanities research council of canada.

shakira mohammed, a phd student in psychology, is receiving a $105,000 canada graduate scholarship from sshrc to study how perfectionism is associated with depression and other symptoms in university 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 over three years.

her research will address limitations in the literature by advancing knowledge in post-secondary research using methods such as a daily online survey over seven days. the results may inform post-secondary education programming aimed at enriching student experiences.

“university life can be a volatile and stressful time,” mohammed said.

“i am passionate to understand contributing factors that increase the risk for negative outcomes that can occur during this stage of life. this research may help to support university 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 who may be struggling with adjustment difficulties.”

she believes an emphasis on supports that address the risk factors for 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 who experience maladjustment when entering university may improve academic success outcomes for 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and student retention across canadian post-secondary education settings.

christine green, a master’s student in history, is receiving a $17,500 canada graduate scholarship from sshrc to explore community museums in northwestern ontario for one year.

green will analyze indigenous representation in their activities over the past six years, investigating the status of these museums and the obstacles smaller museums face in working towards compliance of the united nations’ declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples.

museums play an essential role in the creation of national identity, and critical assessments of museums in canada have pointed to museums strengthening class distinctions and glorifying colonial subjugation of indigenous peoples.

as part of the truth and reconciliation commission’s calls to action, the canadian museum association was tasked with collaborating with indigenous peoples to undertake a national review of museum policies and best practices to determine the level of compliance with the un’s declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples and to make recommendations.

“it is my hope that this project provides a starting point for further examination of museum practices in ontario and canada in relation to indigenous representation at the community level,” green said.

“the pursuit of this project will provide me with the opportunity to begin answering these questions,” she said.

“it will also provide me with the skills to research and produce a lasting volume that will contribute to the ongoing work within many institutions in the region that responds to call to action #67, which calls for federal funding for a national review of museum policies and best practices.”

dr. chander shahi, dean of the faculty of graduate studies, congratulated all of the award recipients.

“i am so thrilled to hear about the incredible success of our graduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 receiving the tri-council awards,” dr. shahi said.

“i am extremely proud of our graduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , who inspire by having such ambitious goals, and then putting in the hard work to achieve them.

“this amazing accomplishment is just one step in their journey, and their ability to relentlessly search for solutions to problems and find innovative ways to improve the world is the key to their success and many more to come.”

阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 organized a collaborative event today to discuss positive initiatives on social issues affecting thunder bay, in partnership with diversity thunder bay, the city of thunder bay’s anti-racism and equity advisory committee, confederation college, and several other community organizations.

community voices and dialogues for social justice included two panel discussions. one was a community presentation of the first voluntary local review report 2022 – a systemic and comprehensive evaluation of thunder bay’s progress toward achieving the united nation’s 17 sustainable development goals.

the other panel had representatives from local community organizations discussing what is happening in thunder bay that gives them hope for positive changes going forward.

“engaging with the people doing work on the ground and incorporating a social and environmental justice lens is an essential part of good research,” said dr. charles levkoe, associate professor in health sciences at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 and canada research chair in equitable and sustainable food systems.

albert brulé, chief executive officer of the united way of thunder bay, said the united way will use data gathered through the first voluntary local review report to support evidence-based, locally-relevant solutions to improve the quality of life at the community level.

“we look forward to sharing results and raising awareness by way of a new community engagement platform we are launching with our community partners called empower the north,” he said.

“through empower the north, we aim to inspire civic engagement, to provide focus for public debate, and to help a range of players to take action and direct resources where they will have the greatest impact,” brulé said.

the city of thunder bay’s anti-racism & equity committee, diversity thunder bay, and the chronicle-journal have been running the monthly one city, many voices column since 2012, featuring community members’ experiences on equity, diversity/multiculturalism, and inclusion.

the networking event celebrated the column’s 10th anniversary and acknowledged the authors and their contributions.

“this monthly column and the discussions that we had today are a way of bringing people together to explore the many views of those who live in this area.”

dr. roopa rakshit, one city many voices coordinator, said the newspaper column is a platform where diversity is considered a valued sentiment and not an abstract identity.

“celebrating the column's 10th anniversary is a testament to the commitment this community has made to foster progressive ideas on race relations and social justice issues. today's event brought a lot of partners together for collective actions and deliberations,” she added.

“on behalf of diversity thunder bay (dtb), on the 10^th anniversary of the one city many voices column, i would like to congratulate the contributors to the column for they have helped us in our work and struggle to make thunder bay a safe, inclusive, and equitable community free of all forms of racism and discrimination,” said walid chahal, co-chair of diversity thunder bay.

“as a co-founder of the column, dtb’s aim was to encourage the writers of the column to not only expose the reality of racism, racialization and other forms of discrimination, but also reflect their diverse experiences, social backgrounds, and perspectives to help us foster better understanding and create harmonious relations between groups.”
