Red Deer College says the next installment of its Perspectives: Canada in the World speakers’ series will challenge the myths, assumptions and pop culture influences on how we consume information.
On Tuesday, March 24, Professor Timothy Caulfield will lead session where he will challenge the celebrity-dominated worldview that has a profound influence on people’s ideas about health, beauty and success. Caulfield will also debunk common health myths and provide practical, evidence-based recommendations for audience members.
“In a fast-paced society where access to information is immediate and abundant, Red Deer College invites guests to pause and consider what they are reading, hearing and learning,” the college says in a release.
Caulfield is a Canada Research Chair in Health Law and Policy, a professor in the Faculty of Law and the School of Public Health, and a Research Director of the Health Law Institute at the University of Alberta. His academic research focuses on topics including stem cells, genetics, research ethics, and the public representations of science and health policy issues.
