He is known as the “father of Canadian photojournalism,” quietly clicking with the "eye of an artist, the concentration of a surgeon, and the reflexes of a cat." From Trudeau’s mischievous slide down the banister on Parliament Hill, to Ben Johnson’s momentary thrill of triumph at winning the 100 meter dash, to the accusing glance of a child of the Chernobyl disaster, Ted Grant has created thousands of iconic images over the past six decades, distilling our world into single, expanding moments.
The Silent Observer features Grant's latest work, a continued exploration of healers, this time from the point of view of medical interns. Grant captures these young men and women in classrooms, operating rooms and rural clinics, from moments of intense concentration to playful laughter, as they journey from student to physician.
Ted Grant is the only photographer to hold both Gold and Silver medals for Photographic Excellence from the National Film Board of Canada. He has published eight books, lectured at prestigious universities and taught courses for the School of Journalism at Carleton University. He has acted as Photographic Coordinator for the Pan American and Commonwealth Games, and for the World Athletic Championships in Edmonton. In 2008, he was presented an Honorary Doctorate of Laws Degree from the University of Victoria.

Making Ojibwe Language Revitalization Liberatory
The ideological terrain of language revitalization must be examined in terms of the goals of language revitalization. At its most basic, the drive is to get more people speaking Ojibwemowin. This necessitates addressing ideological concerns within Ojibwe language revitalization efforts in order to make such efforts more responsive and inclusive of individual and community voices. Increased inclusion, hopefully, will
result in more opportunities for dialogical processes within and around language revitalization efforts as a part of larger liberatory practices, with benefits extending beyond the reversal of language shift. This ideological work, and its consequences, must be examined if language revitalization is to be identical with community revitalization.

Director: Ingmar Bergman
Sweden, 1957, 96 min; Swedish with subtitles; Blu-ray
“*****! EXTRAORDINARY!” –The Guardian
Ingmar Bergman's masterpiece centres on a meeting between a knight (Max Von Sydow) returning from the Crusades and Death (Bengt Ekerot). Cowled, pasty-faced and vaguely sardonic, Death is tricked into staying his scythe when Block challenges him to a game of chess. Full of haunting, iconic images and a touch of hopeful humanity, The Seventh Seal is cinema at its most artful, a philosophical meditation on the meaning(lessness) of this mortal coil. --BBCi

Help celebrate all that is creative and inventive in every corner of campus while having your curiosity piqued by researchers, scholars and artists that help make the world a little bit more interesting - and a little better tomorrow - for everyone. Ideas up for discussion run the gamut of Islamic finance, ecological governance, health literacy, creativity, socially-responsible business, water, the Occupy Movement, aging, food security, the Arab Spring and whether or not the book is dead (just to name a handful).
The full program and event details are listed on the IdeaFest 2012 website. With so many events in the schedule, the hardest part will be figuring out which idea to start with.
