Canadian journalist and author Gwynne Dyer will be speaking at UPEI on Monday, February 25 at 7.00 pm in the Duffy Science Centre, room 135. Gwynne Dyer has worked as a freelance journalist, columnist, broadcaster, and lecturer on international affairs for more than 20 years, but he trained as a historian. Born in Newfoundland, he received degrees from Canadian, American, and British universities, finishing with a PhD in Military and Middle Eastern History from the University of London. His public lecture at UPEI will be "The Triumph of Non-Violence." Non-violent revolution is both more common and more successful in the modern world than the old and bloody version, but few people really understand it. This is an attempt to explain how and why it works. This event is free and all are welcome to attend.

At the next Research on Tap, raise a toast to alcohol. Dr. Richard Kurial, Professor of History at UPEI, will lead a discussion entitled "From whence all good things flow: how alcohol built the West." The event begins at 7 pm, Tuesday, March 5, at The Pourhouse (above The Old Triangle Irish Alehouse in Charlottetown). “I don’t deny the social price that many pay for alcohol,” said Dr. Kurial, “but it is minor compared with the economic, social, and technological benefits we have enjoyed because of drinking.” Dr. Kurial argues alcohol provided the creativity and willingness to take risks that were required to innovate and build the world we live in today. Research on Tap is a series of public discussions with UPEI researchers. For more information, contact Dave Atkinson at (902)620-5117, or datkinson@upei.ca.

One of the most discussed recent trends in education is the Massive Open Online Course, or MOOC.
