Category: Live MusicDates: November 7, 2015 - November 7, 2015
Platinum Blonde is back, but don’t call it a reunion. In reality, it’s more like the band has simply taken a finger off of the pause button with the release of its new album, Now & Never.
The band’s four albums have collectively gone platinum seven times over. They have garnered multiple Juno Award nominations and been inducted into the Music and Broadcast Industry Hall of Fame. Indeed, re-ignition of the band has been a very long time coming but it wasn’t for lack of demand. Appetite for the signature new wave rock sound that swept up throngs of fans has hardly waned since the boys pressed pause in 1991.
As the years passed the band became somewhat of a cult mystery. When electronic dance tastemakers Crystal Castles teamed with Robert Smith of The Cure in 2010 to record a cover version of Platinum Blonde’s “Not In Love”, an entire new generation of fans began clamoring to discover the band’s music.
The panache and passionate soul of Platinum Blonde’s music is vivid in the 10 tracks that comprise Now & Never. A finely wrought mélange of crisp rock and sultry electro-pop, the leading single “Beautiful” entwines highly evolved strings and guitar work over an intense beat that is capable of holding any dance floor captive. Throughout its entirety, seemingly contradictory rock and dance influences melt together seamlessly. Across time, the one constant of Platinum Blonde has always been an unquenchable yen to evolve. With Now & Never, the band that’s made a career of forging its own path continues to roam free.
Songs: “Doesn’t Really Matter”, “Crying Over You”, “Standing In The Dark”, “Not In Love”, “Situation Critical”, and “Sad Sad Rain”.
Tickets on sale April 15 for Players Club Members, April 17 for general public.
Home Free (Casino Regina)
Category: Live MusicDates: November 6, 2015 - November 6, 2015
When country a cappella band, Home Free, was crowned Season 4 Champion of NBC's The Sing-Off in December, 2014, their victory was by no means the beginning of a career for the five country stars from Minnesota… rather it was a satisfying culmination of nearly a decade of hard work and commitment to a vocal craft growing in popularity. Founded by brothers Chris and Adam Rupp during their college years in the early 2000s, Home Free had been perfecting their live show for years prior to The Sing-Off, performing together for crowds in countless State and County Fairs, on college campuses, in Fortune 500 companies and in theaters all across the country. It was their experience on the road that carried them to a Sing-Off victory, swelling their fan base and bringing their homegrown country style into a national spotlight. Home Free continues to entertain audiences with their high-energy show peppered with quick-witted humor that meshes Nashville standards with pop hits dipped in country flavor. This spring they continue their journey as they take part in the 32-city, 36-show Sing-Off Tour Live! on the heels of their Columbia Records debut release, Crazy Life, in stores now.
Songs: “Any Way The Wind Blows”, “Your Man”, “Everything Will Be Okay”, “Jump Right In”.
Tickets on sale May 13 for Players Club Members, May 15 for general public.

Another will outline work being done to enhance resettlement services for immigrants to Regina. And another will discuss the findings of a project examining inclusivity at the University of Regina for students with complex physical disabilities.

Category: Live MusicDates: November 5, 2015 - November 5, 2015
Newfoundland's Alan Doyle learned piano and drums as a child but soon moved on to guitar, mandolin, bouzouki…pretty much anything with strings. At the age of 15 he joined his uncle's rockabilly-meets-traditional-Newfoundland band, The New Standells. While attending St. John's University he was one half of a duo called Staggering Home. Following a series of informal jam sessions, Doyle joined forces with Sean McCann, Bob Hallett and Darrell Power to form Great Big Sea. Their nine albums, double disc hits retrospective and two DVD releases have been declared Gold or Platinum and have sold a combined 1.2 million copies in Canada.
In 2012, Doyle released a solo album, Boy on Bridge which features collaborations with Canadian musicians Hawksley Workman, Jim Cuddy, Ron Hynes and actor-musician Russell Crowe, among others. The video for the second single, "Testify", was nominated for a 2012 Juno. The creation of the album was captured by a film crew resulting in a documentary, also named Boy on Bridge.
A second solo album, So Let’s Go, was released in January, 2015. In 2014, Doyle became a published author with the release of Where I Belong which is about growing up in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Entre science et politique: Comment se preparent les negociations de la Conference de Paris sur les changements climatiques (University of Regina)
Category: Other EventDates: November 5, 2015 - November 5, 2015
Nous vous invitons au lancement du cycle de conférences «Hors-Champs», où il sera question de la 21e Conférence des parties de la Convention-cadre des Nations Unies sur les changements climatiques (COP 21) qui se tiendra du 30 novembre au 11 décembre 2015 à Paris. Nous nous intéresserons en particulier aux enjeux des négociations de cette COP 21 qui représente pour nombre d'experts un tournant décisif pour notre planète. Quels sont les enjeux fondamentaux de cette rencontre internationale ? Outre les États, qui sont les principaux acteurs impliqués dans ces négociations ? Comment le Canada et ses différentes provinces se positionnent-ils dans ces négociations ? Comment l'expertise scientifique y est-elle instrumentalisée ? Rassemblant de nombreux pays à travers le monde, la francophonie joue-t-elle une partition originale dans ces négociations ? Le cycle de conférences «Hors-Champs» invite scientifiques et acteurs engagés à dialoguer avec le grand public afin d'apporter différentes perspectives à une question contemporaine majeure - synthèse des débats scientifiques, témoignage de praticiens, et perspectives critiques. «Hors-Champs» est une initiative conjointe de l'École d'études supérieures de politiques publiques Johnson-Shoyama (JSGS) et du Centre canadien de recherche sur les francophonies en milieu minoritaire (CRFM) de La Cité.

Join us for the inaugural lecture in this series as we examine the context of the 21st Session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 21), to be held in Paris from November 30 to December 11, 2015. We are particularly interested in the issues at stake in the negotiations at COP 21, which for many experts represents a turning point for our planet. What are the fundamental challenges of this international conference? Aside from the states, who are the principal players involved in the negotiations? How are Canada and its various provinces positioning themselves in the negotiations? How is scientific expertise being exploited? Made up of many countries around the world, is the Francophonie bringing a distinctive voice to the negotiations? The "Off the Beaten Track / Hors Champs" lecture series invites academics and stakeholders to dialogue with the general public in order to offer various perspectives on a significant contemporary issue: a synthesis of academic discussion, testimony from those working in the field, and critical perspectives.

Category: Other EventDates: November 4, 2015 - November 4, 2015
Presenter: Katia Hildebrandt, Faculty of Education, University of Regina Abstract: This presentation outlines Katia Hildebrandt's doctoral research, including methods and results. The research uses a postcritical ethnographic methodology to examine the discourses that shape preservice teachers' understandings of digital identity construction in order to better understand and deconstruct students' perceived barriers to discussing controversial issues related to anti-oppressive education in open online spaces. The Theory and Method Seminar Series provides a forum for educators and students to discuss theory and method, research, and current initiatives in education. While designed to support grad students, it is also a series that can help keep faculty up-to-date on emerging methodologies. Faculty and students are encouraged to attend. Everyone is welcome. Coffee is provided. No registration is required. More information: http://www2.uregina.ca/education/news/?page_id=132

Category: Other EventDates: November 4, 2015 - November 4, 2015
ReMeasure is a dynamic remix of Shakespeare's play Measure for Measure. Adapted and directed by faculty member Kathryn Bracht, this revisioning of one of Shakespeare's "problem plays" is set in a cabaret-like club in present day, and explores our current social mores through an impetuous pop-culture lens. Billed as a work in progress, ReMeasure draws inspiration culled straight out of today's headlines. The double nature of ReMeasure's Duke Angelo can be compared to the fall of popular media darlings Bill Cosby and Jian Ghomeshi, and the recent acceptance of gay marriage in countries such as Ireland and the USA, coupled with the very public transitioning of sports hero Bruce Jenner from man to woman - all of these events coalesce to inspire this very current exploration of Shakespeare's play. Ambitious and vibrant, ReMeasure endeavors to challenge your expectations and leave you highly entertained! (This play contains mature themes.)

"Knowledge is power. Information is liberating." Kofi Annan An effective democracy requires citizens who are both engaged and informed. For citizens to participate meaningfully in government, both directly and through their elected representatives, they need accurate information to understand the issues. In healthy democracies Access to information promotes that understanding. The control of information is regulated for the common good and citizens have the means to find information held by their government. But how well is Access to Information really working?

Category: Other EventDates: October 28, 2015 - October 28, 2015
Presenter: Dr. Paul Kolenick, Faculty of Education, University of Regina Abstract: The social theory of Jurgen Habermas, and particularly his theory of communicative action, is explored as a framework in which to understand leadership and learning within the social context of communities. In particular, a relational approach to leadership is considered in terms of how leaders may act as "conveners of dialogue" toward thoughtful decision making. In this sense, perspectives on conversation and how to facilitate conversation will also be considered. The Theory and Method Seminar Series provides a forum for educators and students to discuss theory and method, research, and current initiatives in education. While designed to support grad students, it is also a series that can help keep faculty up-to-date on emerging methodologies. Faculty and students are encouraged to attend. Everyone is welcome. Coffee is provided. No registration is required. More information: http://www2.uregina.ca/education/news/?page_id=132

Category: Other EventDates: October 27, 2015 - October 27, 2015
Social media is well-placed to have a significant impact on the sharing of information, the shaping of public perceptions and the motivating of particular behaviors. There is much to be learned about influence in virtual networks and social media's potential as a vehicle for public engagement, particularly in areas of controversy such as emerging areas of science and biomedical research. This presentation will discuss on-going research funded by a Stem Cell Network Public Policy Impact Grant wherein we are exploring some of these questions in the context of stem cell research, with a particular focus on unproven stem cell-based interventions (or "stem cell tourism").

Philosophy Café: Addiction, Freedom, and Moral Character by Dr. David Elliott (University of Regina)
Category: Other EventDates: October 26, 2015 - October 26, 2015
The Philosophy Café is an open exchange of philosophical ideas led by a University of Regina Philosophy Professor or a Graduate Student. The series runs each fall and winter semester. We invite you to our second discussion in the Philosophy Café Fall series presented by Dr. David Elliott who is a Professor of Philosophy at the U of R. "Addiction, Freedom, and Moral Character" There are at least two main conceptions of addiction. First, addiction is a specific *disease*, particularly of the brain's neurophysiology. Second, addiction is a cognitive choice made by individuals characterized by the rational considerations of competing harms, benefits and risks. It will be suggested that neither of these two important models seems to capture adequately all of the central features of addiction. Instead, thinking of addiction as a learned, developmental process - the development of a habit or character trait - may have more promise. In this regard, some familiar moral philosophers who have offered much on the topic of habituation - Aristotle and Aquinas - may be useful in understanding this important issue. This event is free and everyone is welcome to attend!

Category: Live MusicDates: October 24, 2015 - October 24, 2015
Andy Kim's It's Decided transcends the galaxies of history within it. Renowned for 30 million records sold worldwide with eternal #1 hits like "Rock Me Gently", "Baby, I Love You" and The Archies' "Sugar, Sugar", the legendary songwriter and recording artist has captured a vibrant new sound, timeless in its opposing auras of permanence and ephemera. Co-written and produced by Broken Social Scene's Kevin Drew, Ohad Benchetrit (Do Make Say Think) and Dave Hamelin (The Stills), It's Decided is the crystallization of a music community around a living, thriving legend.
Lead by Andy Kim's wisdom through his stunningly youthful vocals, the album's ten songs are accented by contributions by luminaries Ron Sexsmith, Jeff Barry, John McIntyre (Tortoise), Kevin Hearn (Barenaked Ladies), and Derek Downham. Surrendering to what Kim calls "the magic & the brilliance of Kevin Drew", songs with the impeccable intuition of a Hall of Fame songwriter shimmer with Drew's studio flourishes. A song like "Sail On" coasts on handclaps and a perfect chorus. The wistful "Shoot 'Em Up Baby", originally released by Kim in '68 with "Sugar, Sugar" co-writer Barry, shows glimpses of the original's ethereal doo-wop through bright new chiming piano. The album closing "Who Came First", rewritten from the Social Scene archives, shuffles upward with that familiar Broken sound of low, syncopated saxophone - another example of the wide-eyed reinvention that is It's Decided. As Drew says, this is "Andy's heartfelt want to still make it even though many would say his history is enough”. Gentle and enigmatic, ageless and ecstatic. "Andy Kim always looks to transcend and find the honesty in what he does and does with others.”
Songs: “Baby, I Love You So”, “Rock Me Gently”, “Sugar, Sugar”, “How’d We Ever Get This Way”, “Shoot ‘Em Up, Baby!” and “Amour”.
Tickets on sale May 13 for Players Club Members, May 15 for general public.

Speaker: Dr. Greg Poezler Professor, Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy Department of Political Studies, College of Arts and Science Executive Chair of the International Centre for Northern Governance and Development, University of Saskatchewan, and Fulbright Arctic Initiative Scholar Staff from the University of Regina Bookstore will be on hand and have copies of Dr. Poelzer's co-authored book from UBC Press: From Treaty Peoples to Treaty Nation A Road Map for All Canadians Greg Poelzer and Ken S. Coates Book excerpt: "There are plenty of good, thoughtful, and creative solutions to the political challenges facing Aboriginal people in Canada. Most of these ideas operate at the level of ideals and political philosophy and are not yet grounded or tested in practice. At present, they represent idealized and diverse notions of what Canada could be. All agree that the issue is of great national importance. All agree that the status quo is not viable. All agree that major changes are in order, even as they disagree profoundly about what those changes should be. A merging of political ideals with practical realities could accomplish much."

Category: Other EventDates: October 22, 2015 - October 22, 2015
Dr. Stephen L. Chew from Samford University in Birmingham, AL will examine common misconceptions among both students and teachers that undermine student learning. Students often overestimate their level of understanding, mistakenly believe they can multi-task effectively, and select poor learning strategies. Teachers often believe that student engagement, "active" learning, and struggle are critical to teaching effectiveness when these concepts have serious limitations.

(University of Regina)
Category: Other EventDates: October 22, 2015 - October 22, 2015
Only four decades ago, Norway was considered a bit of a backwater in Scandinavia. It lagged behind its Scandinavian neighbours in per capita wealth, education attainment and other economic and social indicators. It had a significantly higher rural population and an economy reliant on traditional industries such as fisheries and agriculture... Today, Norway is viewed as one of the best countries in the world in which to live... Norwegians have high life expectancy, almost no poverty, low levels of unemployment and high levels of education attainment. The country's vibrant economy, mostly known for its petroleum wealth, is more diversified than most realize. Saskatchewan has the core elements and opportunities needed to become the next Norway, with a high standard of living, equality of opportunity, carefully planned resource development and long-term economic stability. Achieving these goals will not be easy. Norway shows what is possible through smart policy decisions and the strategic use and investment of natural resource revenue.

Category: Live MusicDates: October 21, 2015 - October 21, 2015
Salt-N-Pepa gave females across the globe a voice within their communities and the music industry as a whole. As the first ever female rap crew, Salt-N-Pepa, broke barriers and opened doors wide open that were once closed to women in hip-hop. They gave women a voice in a male dominated industry and transformed the way the music world saw women forever. With the hit songs, "Push It", "Tramp", "Shake Your Thang", "Shoop" and "Whatta Man", Salt-N-Pepa would defy everyone's expectations and catapult hip-hop to new levels.
Twenty five years into their career, they continue to aspire to great heights with history making firsts. They are the first female rappers to receive a Grammy and three MTV Video Awards. Whether it's the top of the charts or on stages at sold out shows across the continent, Salt-N-Pepa, consisting of Cheryl James (Salt) and Sandy Denton (Pepa) along with Deidre "Dee Dee" Roper (DJ Spinderella), changed the face of hip-hop as we know it. No matter what you call them, Salt-N-Pepa revolutionized a people, changed a culture and totally revamped the way the world saw music forever. You can't list or mention the top rap songs of all time without their hit songs showing up. And you can't talk about music history without mentioning their names. Their contributions to a culture and to the world of hip hop has influenced the landscape and look of music as we know it today.

Category: Live MusicDates: October 17, 2015 - October 17, 2015
Martin Short, a celebrated comedian and actor, has won fans and accolades in television, film and theater since his breakout season on Saturday Night Live almost 30 years ago.
Short won his first Emmy in 1982 while working on Canada’s SCTV Comedy Network, which brought him to the attention of the producers of Saturday Night Live. He became a fan-favorite for his portrayal of characters such as Ed Grimley, lawyer Nathan Thurm and “legendary songwriter” Irving Cohen. His popularity and exposure on Saturday Night Live led Short to cross over quickly into feature films. He made his debut in Three Amigos and followed with Inner Space, Three Fugitives, Clifford, Pure Luck and Tim Burton’s Mars Attacks. One of Short’s most memorable roles was in the remake of Father of the Bride, as Franck the wedding planner, a role he reprised a few years later in Father of the Bride Part II. Short is featured in the animated film Madagascar 3 and the Tim Burton film Frankenweenie.
Marty’s much anticipated memoir titled I Must Say was released on November 4 th , 2014 through HarperCollins Publishing.
Starting January 4 th , 2015, Short took over Nathan Lane’s role in the immensely successful hit It’s Only a Play on Broadway.
In 1994, Short was awarded the Order of Canada, the Canadian equivalent to British Knighthood. He was also inducted into the Canadian Walk of Fame in June, 2000.

Pam Tillis and Lorrie Morgan Grits and Glamour Tour (Casino Regina)
Category: Live MusicDates: October 16, 2015 - October 16, 2015
Pam Tillis and Lorrie Morgan are currently delighting old and new fans across North America on their highly successful Grits and Glamour tour. From the road to the red carpet, on centre stage in the theatre or under the spotlight in a honkytonk, these two women are comfortable in their high heels. Veteran recording artists and performers, they grace the country format with style, flair and undeniable talent that is captivating and timeless.
Their career highlights are numerous and varied. Combined, they have recorded 28 top 10 hits, sold more than 18 million records and 12 number one songs. There have been Grammys, Country Music Association Awards, movie credits, television appearances and Broadway performances. They have rocked arenas, helmed world-class symphonies and toured on almost every continent. These 50-somethings are more than a little flattered that they can still sell out shows, turn heads and make hearts beat quickly nearly four decades into their careers. It’s almost unnecessary to point out how rare it is to have such long-term success in an industry so fickle, but Pam Tillis and Lorrie Morgan haven't missed a beat. In fact, they both maintain extensive solo touring schedules enhanced by the buzz that surrounds the Grits and Glamour tour.
Formed in 2009, the Grits and Glamour tour is a “together is better” event. The show is only loosely scripted. Good-natured ribbing and off-the-cuff remarks are just part of the fun. They add tight harmonies to each other’s material, classic songs like Tillis' “Maybe It Was Memphis” and “Mi Vida Loca” and Morgan’s “Something In Red” and “Except for Monday” as well as new and original music from more recent recordings. The ladies are backed by some of Nashville’s finest musicians and singers. After years of working solo, both artists find teaming up fresh and interesting.
Songs: “Maybe It Was Memphis”, “Don’t Tell Me What To Do”, “Shake The Sugar Tree”, “A Picture Of Me”, “Good As I Was To You”, and “Something In Red”.
Tickets on sale April 15 for Players Club Members, April 17 for general public.

Category: Other EventDates: October 14, 2015 - October 14, 2015
Canadian voter turnout in the last federal election was 61%. Certainly the people who, 100 years ago, fought for women's right to vote would have been appalled. To them, voting was a crucial democratic right, one that guaranteed equal standing in Canadian society. In this lecture, we will explore Canadian women's fight for the vote. We will also ask: why were so many Canadians against women's suffrage? Finally, we will see that although the Canadian state granted most women the right to vote in 1918, it continued to withhold that right from men and women of First Nations and Asian heritages. Professor Donica Belisle is a specialist in Canadian gender history. She is the author of Retail Nation: Department Stores and the Making of Modern Canada (UBC Press, 2011) and several articles on gender and consumer culture. She is fascinated by how Canadian gender roles have changed over time, and has spent far too many hours in the archives exploring this topic.
