Quentin's Weeknotes 12/12/21-12/18/21

This Week:

• My wife got tenure, and my heart is full of pride and joy.
• We submitted grades for MUST251: North American Material Culture. The class was fun, and we’re looking for ways to teach it again in a more targeted way.
• My mother in law came down to spend the holidays with us.
• I did some preparatory work on Spring programming for our Haan speaker’s series on land acknowledgement.
• We started the process of taking down “dadibaajimo: Two Mississauga Artists Share Stories”
• I finished reading the first collected volume of Jack Kirby’s famous “New Gods” 1970s run of comics. It was almost like an opera, full of huge bodies and huge emotions, with clear lines of good and evil, and drawn in Kirby’s unique and vibrant style. It’s a classic for a reason.
• We welcomed a visitor from the ARC for a job shadow.
• I did some research on some collections objects for an upcoming project.
• I wrote my yearnotes for 2021.
