My Dad, John Harewood, turns 90 in Nov. Yesterday he was back @uottawa.ca where he served as a professor & advisor for over 30 yrs. He was attending the remarkable #ScarboroughCharter Forum that brought together 100s of Black Canadian academics & students. He was in his element!
Had the good fortune to record part of the upcoming episode of my @ricochetmedia.bsky.social podcast “In Bed with the Elephant” at the studios of #Acikradio an independent community radio station in #Istanbul, Türkiye . Thanks to my new friends Kubra, Selahattin & Odes!!
I’m enjoying @davideliot.bsky.social new book “Artificially Intelligent: The Very Human Story of AI.” It charts the evolution of #AI. Eliot’s story begins in 780 AD in Baghdad, an intellectual hub of the #IslamicEmpire & home to some of the most dynamic mathematicians of the era.
20 yrs. ago when I hosted my first show on #CBC I interviewed #DavidSuzuki about his autobiography. He was 70 then. Mr. Suzuki has written a new memoir. He’s 90 now. Today I get to talk to him about it. Our conversation will air on a future episode of my @ricochetmedia.bsky.social podcast.
If you have access to the @Carleton_U Kanopy Video Streaming Service through the MacOdrum Library, the entire collection of the late great #FrederickWiseman’s documentaries is now available for you to screen.
Thanks to the wonderful students, teachers & counsellors at Frederick Banting Alternative High School in #Stittsville for welcoming me so warmly today. We had a great #BHM session talking about the power of stories. The future is bright w/ these young folks leading the way.

Had a great conversation w/ @uh.edu scholar #DavidMcNally about his new book, “#Slavery & #Capitalism” @octopusbooks.ca event in Ottawa. Echoing CLR James, W.E.B. DuBois & Sylvia Wynter, McNally argues that the enslaved who worked the plantations of the Americas constituted a modern working class.
That’s British author #BernardineEaristo winner of the 2019 #BookerPrize for “Girl Woman Other, & Congolese writer Alain Manbackou among a crowd of @akefestival.bsky.social authors listening attentively to @lolashoneyin.bsky.social outside “Ouida Books”, her beloved bookstore in #Lagos.
#FatimaBala is the Canadian literary superstar most Canadians have probably never heard of. The romance novelist from Calgary has sold over 100,000 copies of her steamy books & yet still flies under the radar in her hometown. Among her Nigerian fans @akefestival.bsky.social she’s royalty!
