perspectives to offer, you will enjoy these Corners. Some Corners will have a
featured presenter to introduce the topic. All sessions are moderated to limit
discussion to one speaker at a time and to ensure everyone gets a chance to
speak. We hope you will join us and discuss these thought provoking topics
where listeners are as welcome as speakers.
• Open to the public
• Suggested minimum $2.00 donation for each Corner
• Food and beverage orders from 11:30 am. Presentation and discussion from
11:45am onwards

served” basis as space permits

12BALD EAGLES
This presentation will describe the rebound
of the bald eagle population from the brink
of extinction. Using a selection of his slides,
David Hancock will summarize the story
of bald eagles in the Lower Fraser Valley
including the protective measures employed
and the ways he continues to study and
advocate for Canada’s largest bird of prey.
David Hancock is renowned at home and
abroad for his studying, lecturing and
publishing about west coast wildlife, and
most of all for “speaking for eagles.” A
graduate of UBC, he is also a pilot, a wildlife film producer and a cofounder
of the Hancock Wildlife Foundation. He is the author of many scientific
publications about wildlife, notably The Bald Eagle of Alaska, Washington and
British Columbia; developer of a database for monitoring bald eagles; and,
creator of a live streaming web camera system that has been used to broadcast
nesting and chick development of over 400 pairs of bald eagles in the Lower
Fraser Valley. He invites interested community members to join him in
observing and studying this fascinating species as it nests near the coast, e.g.,
in South Surrey, and as it feasts on the fall salmon runs near Harrison Mills.

13SOLVING HOMICIDE INVESTIGATIONS
This course will explore
many of the myths and
misconceptions perpetrated by
TV crime dramas surrounding
murder investigations. Solving
these cases has always been
challenging – today more than
ever. Solving gang related
murders are the most difficult.
The presenters will pose a
hypothetical murder to the
class and ask the participants to
put on their investigator caps to
help solve the case.
Dr. Keiron McConnell is a
faculty member in Criminology
at KPU. He has also worked front line policing for 29 years, the past 15 years
in gang suppression. Dr. McConnell teaches Organized Crime at KPU and
SFU and is the co-author of the book Stop Gangs. He is published in the Journal
of Gang Research and the Journal of Police Science and Technology.
Staff Sergeant Mark Bragagnolo is a veteran police officer with 27 years of
experience and has been involved in homicide investigations since 2002. He
lectures frequently at post-secondary institutions on the challenges homicide
detectives face when investigating gang related murders.

14THE FUTURE OF ROBOTICS
There has been a huge leap
in robotics since the Greeks
in 200 BC who first designed
automated machines that
worked with water and
air. Now we have modern
manufacturing plants that are
fully automated and social
robots for companionship and
entertainment. With advances
in artificial intelligence,
material science and other
technologies, we are currently
designing robots that were
unimaginable and thought
to be in the realm of science
fiction 20 years ago. With this
in mind, what can we expect for the future? Will we live in a world feared
by some, where robots will take over the everyday tasks performed by
humans, or will we be living and interacting with humanoid robots in our
daily lives?
Flavio Oliveras is a mechanical engineer who has experience in private and
academic sectors. He has worked for transnational companies developing
prototypes for new products and has done research at government
institutions and public universities. He currently works as an instructor

15WHEN SCIENCE GOES WRONG (PART 2)
Our modern technological society
would not be able to function
without science and its products,
but there are aspects of science
that are not well understood. Far
from being an infallible source
of new information and theories,
scientific methods can be misused,
misunderstood, and even co-
opted by those with an ideological
agenda, or for financial gain.
Those scientific errors that make
it to the front pages of newspapers
and websites have a way of
undermining public confidence
in science, when it should do the
reverse. Identifying errors leads to new understanding and is a useful way of
educating the public about how science actually works.
Note: this is a similar course to the one in fall 2019 with different examples. You
don’t have to have taken the first course to take this one.
Feb 14 The age of the Earth: physics vs. geology and biology
Cold fusion: wishful thinking
Feb 21 Intelligence and race: cherry-picking the data
Denialism: from the Copernican Revolution to climate change
Back by popular demand! Peter Robbins has a B.Sc. in geology and an M.Ed.
in curriculum and instruction. He retired in 2016 after teaching biology,
mathematics and physics at Kwantlen for 24 years. Along with the sciences, his

18THE WAR IN OUR GENES
The modern world poses many challenges
to human health through new diseases
and a rapidly aging population. This
modern environment is quite different
from the ancestral environment in which
humans originally evolved, thus creating
a mismatch that may be responsible for a
variety of disorders and diseases. This talk
will discuss how conflicts of interest in our
genomes, mismatches between our genes
and our environment, as well as trade-offs
between life stages have allowed common
diseases and disorders such as pre-eclampsia, cancer, diabetes and even
aging to affect modern humans.

22SUPERHERO MOVIES AND PHILOSOPHY
Superhero movies are successful in part
because they exemplify bigger-than-life
conceptions of good and evil. Although
religious texts and legends already do this,
superhero movies are distinguished by the
fact that they emerged from experimental
storytelling. Superheroes originate from
comic books that are cheap.
This low cost form lets authors and artists
try new things without fear of reprimand.
For each superhero that makes it to the
big screen, hundreds remain known only
in “fan” subculture. This ability to err lets comic books experiment with
myths in a secular way freed from the strictures of religious custom. This
experimentation is unprecedented—certainly at so large a scale. It would
thus be a mistake, Marc Champagne will argue, to dismiss the philosophical
significance of superhero movies.
Dr. Marc Champagne is an Instructor in the Department of Philosophy at
Kwantlen Polytechnic University. He is the author of Consciousness and the
Philosophy of Signs and Myth, Meaning, and Antifragile Individualism.

Toxic Masculinity in
Shakespeare’s Richard III and
Netflix’ House of Cards
The Shakespearean pedigree
of Netflix’ House of Cards is
well known. Michael Dobbs,
the author of the novels upon
which the series is based, has
claimed that Shakespeare’s
Richard III was one of the main
inspirations for the central
character in his novels. And
television critics have noted
many parallels between Frank
Underwood and Shakespeare’s
charismatic anti-hero: his
ruthless ambition and profound
self-loathing, his Machiavellian
talent for manipulation and
self-promotion, and his penchant for breaking the fourth wall in order to make
co-conspirators of his audience.
And it is, of course, no coincidence that Kevin Spacey played the role of
Richard III in a critically acclaimed stage production of Shakespeare’s play
immediately before he began shooting the first season of Netflix’ hugely
popular House of Cards.
In this lecture, KPU English instructor Paul Tyndall will explore a
Shakespearean element of the American political drama that has received
little sustained attention, namely, the theme of toxic masculinity in both
Richard III and House of Cards.

25SCIENCE AND ALTERNATIVE FACTS
Science, Skepticism and
Evidence in the Age of
Alternative Facts
Imperfect, imprecise, and
often notoriously biased, it
is perhaps unsurprising that
science has earned a mixed
reputation. But, science is not
a dogma or a set of beliefs. It
is simply a method—the best
method we currently have—
for discovering truths about
our objective reality. We are
living in an era where pundits
and institutions have heinous
reasons to obscure truth, to
constantly undermine the idea of objectivity with questions like, “How can
we ever really know anything?”
In this talk, Jay will separate skepticism from cynicism, reaffirm the importance
of evidence-based knowledge, and show that the scientific method is an
antidote to questionable authority figures and our flawed intuitions.
Jay Hosking earned his Honours BSc in Neuroscience at the University of
Toronto, his PhD in Neuroscience at UBC, and his postdoctoral fellowship
at Harvard. His research has focused on our individual differences in
decision making, and the brain circuitry and chemistry that underlies those
differences. He currently teaches psychology and neuroscience at KPU and
UBC. Jay is also an MFA in Creative Writing, and his first novel was published
in 2016 by Penguin Random House.

27BAFA’ BAFA’
BaFa’ BaFa’ is a face-to-
face learning simulation
(game) intended to improve
participants’ cultural
competency by helping them
understand the impact of
culture on the behaviour of
people and organizations.
Participants will experience
“culture shock” by travelling
to, and trying to interact with,
a culture in which the people
have different values, different
ways of behaving and different
ways of solving problems.
We will examine cultural
similarities and differences and
come to understand how
prejudice, misunderstanding,
intolerance and a sense of superiority can develop.

28TWO TEMPLE TOURS
No. 5 Road in Richmond is known as the Highway to Heaven, as it houses
many of the world’s types of places of worship. Join us for a day tour to two of
these cultural centres to learn about the Buddhist and Sikh faiths.
Lingyen Mountain Temple 10060 No. 5 Road 10 am - 1 pm
Please assemble in the parking lot of Lingyen Mountain Temple at 10 am. We
will have a classroom session about Buddhism and the meditation process
‘Dharma Door’, through which we can transcend our bondage to phenomenal
reality and achieve liberation from sufferings. This will be followed by a
guided temple tour and a free vegetarian lunch.
Gurdwara Nanak Niwas 8600 No.5 Road 1 – 3 pm
We will then drive to the Sikh Temple and will assemble in the main hall for
a session about the Sikh Religion and its practices. Free tea and snacks will be
offered at the end of the session.
Note:
1. There is ample free parking at both temples.
2. As we will be visiting sacred places, please help to maintain a solemn,
tranquil environment: speak softly; don’t wear clothing that is too
revealing; do not bring meat, alcohol, or pets into the temples.
3. Voluntary donations are greatly appreciated. The facilitator will collect the
donations at the beginning of the tour and present them to the temples.

29CONFUCIANISM
A Wandering Spirit and Its
Incarnation
Is Confucianism still alive in China? Is it, as
Princeton University historian Yu Yingshih
puts it, a “wandering spirit” without a
body or a dwelling? In this session, Dr.
Li will briefly present the multi-facets
of Confucianism and explain how it has
faded away and become a homeless and
disembodied soul and how, in another
sense, it is still kicking, struggling, and even
booming.
Dr. Li will argue that Confucianism will find a body and a dwelling place in
the near future, but in the process it has to overcome two major challenges –
what he calls “the framework challenge” and the “descending of the Heaven’s
Way challenge”.
Dr. Puqun Li is a philosophy instructor at KPU. He sees philosophy as
a personal struggle in becoming a decent human being, rather than a
list of free-floating theories. His areas of specialization and interests
are Wittgenstein, Asian Philosophy, and Comparative Philosophy. His
publications include A Guide to Asian Philosophy Classics. Last year he gave the
very popular TALK course How to Grow Old.

32A HISTORY OF WHISKEY
This session will introduce
the history and nature of
single malt whiskey, from its
adaptation from agriculture
and spirits to the advent of
single malt globalization.
Through the lens of single malt
whiskey, we can get a sense of
political, social, technological
and economic change over the
past 500 years, not just in the
British Isles, but eventually in a
global context of marketing and
millionaires.
Each single malt whiskey is a
kind of technology--a catalyst
for advancing culture, economic systems, and the interplay of different
peoples. We will use six single malts (Scottish, Irish, Indian, & Japanese) to
focus on the development of tastes, textures, and the global phenomenon that
is the Scot’s “wee dram”.
Please note that this is a history course, not a whiskey-tasting course.
Back by popular demand! Jack Hayes is Department Head of the History
faculty at KPU and a member of the Center for Chinese Research at
UBC’s Institute of Asian Research. He has published articles on Chinese

33FREEDOM OF THE PRESS
It’s been said that “a free press
is the lifeblood of democracy,”
but just what constitutes
a free press? In a liberal
democracy, it’s taken to mean
the media is free from direct
government control. However,
there are many other ways
in which press freedoms can
be curtailed: concentration of
ownership, drive for profit and
self-censorship are just a few.
Since 2002, Reporters Without
Borders has published the
World Press Freedom Index in
which it measures the level of
freedom available to journalists in 180 countries.
This lecture will look at the origins of a free press, what indicators determine
press freedom and what challenges media outlets face in upholding their
responsibility to be the “lifeblood of democracy.”
Eve Edmonds has worked in journalism for 30 years, covering everything
from municipal politics, to court and crime, to arts and entertainment. She has
a Master’s degree in journalism from Carleton University. Along with editing

as well as the role of community news.

34GOTTA LOVE KD?
Everybody knows Canadians love Kraft
Dinner. But what do Canadian writers
think about this meal? Come and test your
knowledge of the history of this famous dish
while exploring its many literary lives.
From coast to coast, Canadian writers
recognize Kraft Dinner’s presence as a
national food. Even one of our most famous
writers, Margaret Atwood, subsisted on
Kraft Dinner in her mid-twenties when she
worked as an instructor at the University
of British Columbia. Living on a shoestring
budget, Atwood turned to this economical dish to fuel her writing into the
wee hours of the morning. Designed to counter hunger cheaply and quickly,
KD offers writers a similar kind of quick replacement: a literary shorthand
for communicating complex experiences of loss, inadequacy, and the
commercialization of daily life.
Shelley Boyd is a Canadian literature specialist in the KPU English Department
and presently serves as Interim Associate Dean in the Faculty of Arts. She is the

36FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I have to be a TALK member to attend courses?
Yes, TALK is an organization run by the members. The $10 yearly
membership dues pay for a small honorarium and parking passes
for the presenters. Course registration fees pay for the cost of
registration, mailings, etc. There is an exception for some single
events where non-members may attend for a slightly higher fee.
May I register after the course “register by” date?
Yes, you may register after that date. However, it is preferable to
have members register earlier so that we know if we have enough
people to run the course. Some courses fill up quickly so it is a
good idea to register as early as you can.
What if I find I will not be able to attend a course I have
registered for?
Members are entitled to a refund of course fees if withdrawal
occurs before the “Please Register By” date. Please contact the
office to arrange for a refund. 604.599.3077 or talk@kpu.ca. TALK
membership fees will not be refunded.
How can I get more information on the course content?
Call the Program Chair Jean Garnett at 604.277.1130,
jeangarnett@shaw.ca
How can I find the classroom for my course?
TALK facilitators put up golden coloured room
signs. Watch for them. If you want to have an idea ahead of time,
here is an interactive map to find your classroom on campus:
kpu.ca/current-students/find-your-classroom
Why is the classroom so cold?
The conference centre rooms on campus have automated heat. They
don’t start to warm up until there are bodies in the room to trip the
motion detectors. We recommend you dress in layers.
37FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is there parking available on campus?
Parking is available on all KPU campuses. The cost is $5.00.
• Remember your car’s license plate number.
• Go to a Paystation located at main building entrances.
• Key in license number (not your stall number); select time;
then pay. Coins ($0.25, $1 and $2 coins only), Visa, MasterCard,
American Express or PayByPhone are accepted at all
Paystations. They do not accept debit cards.
• Take receipt - no need to display on vehicle dash. The pass
will be valid on all campuses for the day of purchase.
There is also free parking at the Newton Athletic Park at 7395 128
St near the Surrey campus. Park at the south end of the lot and it is
about a 10-15 minute walk to campus.
If you have a handicapped placard, parking is free in the marked
handicapped spaces only. If you park in a regular stall, you
are expected to pay. The parking map for each campus, which
indicates the location of handicapped spaces, can be found at:
kpu.ca/parking-transit/maps.
Can I use the intercampus shuttle?
TALK members can take the intercampus shuttle if there is space
available. Sometimes parking at Surrey campus can be hard to
find. If you live in Cloverdale or Langley, you may prefer to park at
one of those campuses and take the inter-campus shuttle to Surrey
campus. The schedule for the shuttle can be found at kpu.ca/shuttle.
In order to board the shuttle, you would have to show a TALK
membership card. To obtain this card, phone 604.599.3077 or
email talk@kpu.ca at least 10 days before requiring the card.
Regular KPU students receive priority on the shuttle so you will
need to leave lots of time to transfer between campuses. If you
can’t get on, you may drive to the other campus and park if you
have printed the receipt for your parking.
Note: The 301 bus travels from the Richmond to the Surrey
campus. You can plan your bus trips at tripplanning.translink.ca
38Do I have to be a TALK member to attend a
Philosophers’ Corner?
Philosophers’ Corners are open to the public. You do not have to
be a TALK member to attend. Pre-registration is not necessary
for a Philosophers’ Corner and attendance is on a first-come,
first-served basis. There is a suggested minimum $2.00 donation
for each Corner.
