Research and Creative Activity

With summer fast approaching, it’s not just the temperature that’s rising — so are the risks on the road. A new study suggests drivers are more likely to be distracted this time of year.

Francesco Biondi, a professor in the Department of Kinesiology and an expert in driver behaviour, led a study with Windsor Police Service examining rates of distracted and aggressive driving in school zones and business improvement areas (BIAs) around the city.

Education professor Susan Holloway will share some of the findings of research in two areas of growth in multiliteracies: using multiliteracies pedagogy to teach adult learners and to teach culturally and linguistically diverse additional language learners as a keynote address at the symposium “Multiliteracies in Plurilingual Societies: Dialogues for Sustainable Communication,” May 12 and 13 at the University of Huelva, Spain.

Ana Jain will exhibit paintings during “The Stories We Tell,” this week at Mackenzie Hall.
