This year\u2019s lecture series looks at Expo 67 as the highlight of Canada\u2019s centennial. A world\u2019s fair held in Montreal, it dazzled the world with its daring architecture, innovative exhibits, and high-minded theme, \u201cMan and His World.\u201d Many Canadians regarded it as Canada\u2019s coming-out party, a moment when the young nation burst into the international limelight and strutted its stuff to universal acclaim. Substitute \u201cQuebec\u201d or \u201cIndigenous Peoples\u201d for \u201cCanada\u201d in the previous sentence and it would be equally true \u2013 Expo 67 was a rich, multivalent spectacle that generated diverse messages. In Canada\u2019s 150<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary year, the Carleton Department of History is revisiting Expo 67 to reflect upon the meaning of it all. A select group of lecturers will address key topics such as Expo\u2019s intellectual origins, how it became a proud emblem of modernization for both Canadian and Quebec nationalists, its impact on Indigenous rights and culture, and its iconic stature in the histories of architecture and cinema. X out the dates in your calendar to experience exposition by Expo experts that will expand your mind exponentially.

The term took off in the 1980s at the same time as GIS analysis developed, and city trees came to be understood in the aggregate, represented by geospatial reckonings of canopy cover. In her Founders\u2019 seminar Joanna Dean will raise some questions about the implications of the term \u201cUrban Forest\u201d through a telling of the history of individual trees in Ottawa.<br>\nJoanna Dean&nbsp;is a member of the Carleton\u2019s History Department.

How have the rise of New Nationalisms and a global politics of fear shaped the migrant experience? What does the securitization and militarization of the border mean for fabricated national boundaries on the continent? In a time of increasing consequences of climate change, terrorist regimes, and refugees flow, how do we realize a vision of mobility as a human right?
