It's a childhood book familiar to and beloved by many. Lissa Paul, Director of the Interdisciplinary Humanities PhD program and Brock University Faculty of Education prof spoke to CBC about the book's enduring appeal.

Margaret Wise Brown's now-classic picture book about a bunny saying goodnight to everything it sees was slow to find a home on bedside tables. But since its publication 75 years ago, Goodnight Moon has sold more than 40 million copies and continues to top best-seller lists.

A: THIS HAPPENED: STORIES AND MASKS

Museum in the Hallway: Boîte-en-valise

SEPT 14, 2022 – NOV 20, 2022

SECOND FLOOR EAST ALCOVE BETWEEN THEATRE ENTRANCES

Museum in the Hallway: Boîte-en-valise is a rotating exhibit of material culture from the students of Centre of Studies in Arts and Culture. The program consists of five exhibits, including objects and evidence of course outcomes and workshops delivered by special guests (including Walker Cultural Leaders for 2021-23). “Boîte-en-valise” is an expression coined by avant-garde artist Marcel Duchamp to refer to the aesthetic value of collecting and assembling.

This exhibition showcases masks created by students in an examination of material culture that employed conceptual brainstorming and participation in short writing exercises. This project advanced the professionalization of their learning and practice of curation, providing a micro curated piece/project that drew upon their experience during the COVID-19 pandemic.
