DOUBLE MAJOR is back in the Art Gallery! Join us for the third installment of the new academic 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.

Co-op Housing (Calinda Brown) and the Higgs-Boson Particle (Thomas Koffas)

Tuesday, November 18, 2014

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:
Calinda Brown is a housing activist and the current president of CCOC, a non-profit landlord in Ottawa - and she is also a tenant in one of their buildings. She works as a legislative assistant on Parliament Hill and enjoys discussions on how policy decisions should make life better.

Thomas Koffas is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Carleton University. His primary research interest is on experimental particle physics. As a member of the ATLAS collaboration, which is a multi-purpose detector operating at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Europe, he works to reconstruct the tracks of charged particles, electrons, and photons.
