SUMMARY:Toot Your Own Horn: Compose Your Literary CV
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE\, THIS WORKSHOP HAS BEEN CANCELLED. PLEASE CONTACT SUR PLACE MEDIA FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.\n  \nA CV is a method of introduction. A literary CV shines a light on your literary activities. Whether applying for funding or submitting a manuscript for consideration\, it’s a simple way to highlight your accomplishments. \nDuring the workshop\, participants will create a literary CV. We will discuss the sections of a literary CV and ways to present—and highlight—our accomplishments. Participants will write an artistic statement\, organize their list of publications\, and fill in the framework of a CV. Participants should expect to spend a few hours outside of class time to compile and type their accomplishments into a Word document. \nRegistration deadline: January 7th\, 2021. \nBlossom Thom is a poet and editor. She is the author of #HashtagRelief (Gaspereau Press\, 2017) and her poetry has appeared during art collaborations and in literary magazines and anthologies including Poetic Notions: A Weaving of Poetry and Visual Arts\, Kola: A Black Literary Magazine\, and Montréal Serai. A mentorship with George Elliott Clarke set the groundwork for her work-in-progress and was supported by a Professional Development for Artists Grant from the Canada Council for the Arts. \nPlease see event link for further details.

SUMMARY:Thomas More Institute Open House
DESCRIPTION:From 1-3pm on Saturday\, January 16th\, the Thomas More Institute is hosting a free\, online open house to introduce community members to our educational approach! Located in downtown Montreal\, we are a secular\, liberal arts academic institution that offers university-level discussion courses as well as other opportunities for lifelong learning. Our discussions differ from the lectures offered elsewhere as group members are invited to participate collaboratively in a process of shared inquiry and reflection. \nThe open house is an excellent opportunity to learn more about our course offerings for the winter and spring semesters – courses like “A Dose of Canadian Humour” and “Angels and Animals: Innocence and Responsibility in Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead” take a closer look at some of the fiction works that have kept us thinking (and laughing) over the past year\, and bring us into conversation with other readers. \nIt is\, additionally\, a great chance to learn more about our different community initiatives\, like our Seniors Outreach Program\, Book Club\, and Interview Series. All of these events\, like our courses\, take place online and center engaged discussion\, richly animating these winter days.
