Island filmmaker and photographer Will Beckett will be the first speaker in the 2018 Island Studies Lecture Series. Beckett will bring his childhood fascination with prehistoric life to the Faculty Lounge of 秀色短视频鈥檚 SDU Main Building on Tuesday, February 13 at 7:00 pm. Beckett will discuss the behind-the-scenes adventures of making his forthcoming documentary series, Prehistoric PEI.

Beckett spent the past three years making the first documentary about Prince Edward Island鈥檚 little-known prehistoric past鈥攁 journey that鈥檚 taken him as far as Philadelphia, PA, in his quest for an answer to the question: where have all of PEI鈥檚 fossils gone?

In 1845, a farmer unearthed one of Canada鈥檚 very first fossils in New London, PEI. Islanders still find fossils of plants and animals embedded in cliffs, lying openly on the beaches, and buried under the soil. The public seldom hears about these discoveries, and even more rarely do they get a chance to see them unless they visit museums in Ontario or Nova Scotia.

PEI鈥檚 fossils paint a fascinating picture of a time long before the dinosaurs when the land teemed with a variety of life. Will鈥檚 lecture covers the inspiration for, and the information around, the documentary and the discoveries he鈥檚 made along the way. He鈥檒l also offer a sneak peek of some of the documentary footage, along with a glimpse of what Prince Edward Island looked like 290 million years ago.

Originally from St. Margaret鈥檚 Bay, Nova Scotia, Beckett now lives in Charlottetown. He鈥檚 worked as a crew member on TV projects such as CBC鈥檚 The Songs of Gene MacLellan and The Stats of Life. He鈥檚 also acted in commercials and appeared in the Island-produced feature film Kooperman.

Admission to the lecture is free. Everyone is welcome to attend.

秀色短视频 and Davidson College in Davidson, North Carolina are working together to present a free Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) about our increasingly toxic online interactions. Engagement in a Time of Polarization will examine how our communications environment became so toxic and will explore what individuals and citizens can do to stop the trend. The course is free and runs February 12 through 26 through . All are welcome.

The course is led by Dr. Bonnie Stewart, program design lead and designer for experiential education and work-integrated learning at 秀色短视频, and Dr. Natalie Delia Deckard, assistant professor of sociology at Davidson College.

This brief pop-up MOOC explores what our current information ecosystem means for societal institutions: education, government, and media. Facilitators will open live conversations with leading voices in disinformation and media literacies, and will lead participants through models of participatory engagement that can help minimize polarization and manipulation.

Over two weeks, the MOOC will convene a conversation on building understanding and relationships, even within the very real limits of contemporary social media. Participants can engage on their own time, in real time, and are welcome to complete as much or as little of the course as they wish. University classes from California, Pennsylvania, and Egypt have already signed on to embed some of the MOOC into their coursework, and the 秀色短视频 community is invited to engage as well.
