Join us for an exciting program of casual yet informative exhibition walkthroughs. Special guests from across campus and the broader community will respond to McIntosh Gallery's current exhibition, Three Dimensions, from their unique perspectives. This Insight Out session features expertise from the fields of digital art, blockchain and NFTs, theatre production and audience engagement, and the architectural precarity of colonial expansion. Light refreshments will be provided. 

Dr. Jameelah Imani Morris is an Assistant Professor in Anthropology and Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies (GSWS). She is an interdisciplinary Black Studies scholar whose sociocultural anthropological research examines how Black communities in Latin America and the Caribbean confront and theorize state violence, displacement, and the ongoing legacies of slavery and colonialism. Her current book project focuses on how Black placemaking is produced, inherited, and deployed through the political mobilization of multigenerational movements that contest the expansion of Colombia’s tourism industry in Cartagena de Indias. Ongoing collaborative community-based projects are a key part of her work. She co-founded and co-directs a collaborative community-based digital archive project called “Memorias de Resistencia” (Memories of Resistance) focused on Black women-led organizing for urban infrastructure, housing rights, and justice in Cartagena, Colombia throughout the second half of the 20th century. 

Dr. Hubert Pun is the Professor of Management Science at the Ivey Business School. In 2022, he was honored with the university-wide Western Faculty Scholar Award in recognition of his groundbreaking research on blockchain business applications. He has also been consistently acknowledged for his teaching excellence, earning Ivey Dean’s Teaching Commendation Letters and being named to the University Students’ Council Teaching Honor Roll in 2016/2017. Additionally, he has received the Research Merit Award for seven consecutive years (2019–2025). In 2023, as one of the top recipients, he was named one of two holders of the prestigious J. Allyn Taylor/Arthur H. Mingay Chair. His case, "Royal Bank of Canada: Bitcoin Mining and Climate Change?" is the winner of the “Finance & Banking” category in the 2023 European Foundation for Management Development Case Writing Competition.
