In this episode of the Big Thinking Podcast, we dive into the complex world of wildfire research in Canada. Wildfires are becoming more frequent and intense, and understanding their causes and effects is more important than ever. What is the science behind them? What is their connection to climate change? And what role does interdisciplinarity play in wildfire research?

Our host Karine Morin is joined by Dr. Mike Flannigan, BC Innovation Research Chair in Predictive Services, Emergency Management and Fire Science, and Dr. Shannon Wagner, Vice-President of Research at Thompson Rivers University to answer all of these questions.

In this episode, we’re exploring the ever-growing impact of artificial intelligence on digital politics and media. From shaping political campaigns to influencing public discourse, AI is transforming the way we engage with politics.

Karine Morin is joined by Fenwick Mckelvey, Associate Professor in Information and Communication Technology Policy in the Department of Communication Studies at Concordia University, to break down the risks, rewards, and ethical challenges surrounding AI in the digital realm.

Pour cet épisode, le professeur Frédérick Nadeau se joint à Karine Morin afin de mieux comprendre les racines de l'extrémisme québécois.

Earlier this year, the Council of Canadian Academies released its report “Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in the Post-Secondary Research System.” The report examines measures that can enhance EDI, the benefits and challenges of implementing them, and their potential impacts on people and institutions.

In this episode, Dr. Wendy Rodgers, President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Prince Edward Island and Chair of the Expert Panel on EDI Practices for Impactful Change, joins Karine Morin to talk about this important report.

In this episode, we’re exploring a topic that has grabbed headlines across Canada over this past year – the cap on international students enrolled in our colleges and universities, and the ripple effect it’s having on higher education and immigration.

For this episode, our host Karine Morin is joined by Lisa Brunner, a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of British Columbia Centre for Migration Studies.
