Big Thinking Podcast ·

2026/07/30

Soccer is often described as the world's game. It crosses borders and brings people together through languages and cultures in ways few other sports can. And every four years, the FIFA World Cup turns that connection into a global spectacle, drawing billions of people into the same unfolding story of victory, heartbreak, and national pride. Soccer has the power to bring people together, but it can also reflect the divisions that already exist beyond the field. So who actually gets to belong? ...

Those who’ve completed a degree in Canada know that it’s a demanding experience, but for many students without safe or stable housing, the challenge is even greater.

Nourishing Black scholarship, nurturing collective joy

Big Thinking Podcast ·

2026/02/27

Something remarkable happens when spaces are allowed to feel more human—when they are welcoming, grounded in care, and shaped with intention.

Across the country, centres for Black studies are emerging as spaces like these. They are places where Black scholarship is held with care, where history and leadership ar...
