Join us for the fourth installment of the year, where we’ll hear from two passionate experts, each speaking for 20 minutes about their subject, after which there will be a Q&A addressing both topics. One speaker is from the Ottawa-Gatineau community, and one is from the Carleton community. DOUBLE MAJOR is a fun and friendly way to stimulate discussion of seemingly disparate topics, and to make new connections between people and ideas.

War Art (Laura Brandon) and Addictive Behaviours (Kim Hellemans)

DOUBLE MAJOR is held at CUAG. Lectures start at 7pm. DOUBLE MAJOR is brought to you by Carleton University Art Gallery and the Carleton University Alumni Association.

Speakers:
Dr. Laura Brandon, Historian, Art and War, Canadian War Museum, is the author of Art or Memorial? The Forgotten History of Canada’s War Art (2006) and Art and War (2007), a survey of western war art.
