2025 FALL FPAS SPEAKER SEMINAR

📢 FPAS Speaker Series

Guest Speaker: Dr. Franklin Mendivil

Topic: Juggling Patterns

📅 Date: Thursday, October 2, 2025
🕓 Time: 4:00 PM
📍 Location: HSH 206

There are certainly many different ways to juggle, even if we only consider throwing (and hopefully catching) three balls. For instance, we can throw (and catch) from behind the back or under a leg. Amazingly, however, even if we restrict our attention to focus only on the order in which the balls are thrown and caught, there are still infinitely many different juggling patterns.

In this talk, we will discuss some ways of thinking about juggling patterns and explore the "siteswap" system of describing these patterns. The talk will be mathematical in the broad sense (the exploration of patterns) but not very mathematical in the traditional sense, so don't be scared away!

Everyone welcome! Refreshments provided.

Convocation 2025

2025 Huggins Science Seminar

March 31st @ 7:00pm

Huggins Science Hall - room 010

Reception to follow

Dr. Emily Haigh - University of Victoria Dr. Emily Haigh

Associate Professor and Chief Mungo Martin Research Chair in Indigenous Mental Health

Centring Indigenous Knowledge in Clinical Psychology: Towards Epistemic Inclusion

Dr. Haigh will describe efforts to build a research program focused on: 1) increasing expertise in applying Indigenous knowledge and methodologies in clinical psychology, and 2) producing Indigenous-led knowledge on new approaches to understanding and promoting mental health. Drawing on insights from three ongoing research projects, Dr. Haigh will highlight the challenges and tensions associated with centering Indigenous ways of being and knowing in mental health research. The goal of this work is to improve the ability of Indigenous Peoples to both benefit from and contribute to the future of clinical psychology, making it a more inclusive and responsive discipline.

The Huggins Science Seminar was established in 1972 on the initiative of Acadia graduate Dr. Charles Huggins, Nobel laureate and former Acadia Chancellor.
