End of the Rainbow: a film sponsored by ACIC

End of the Rainbow explores the human dimensions of industrial gold mining in two remote locations. As the mine's structures and equipment are dismantled in Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo, then transported and reconstructed to begin gold processing in Guinea, West Africa, what unfolds is an elegiac portrait of the changes brought by the mine and of the universal human desire for a better life.

Research on Tap: Forgiveness vs. Revenge

Forgiveness and revenge. Each of us has, in the past, had to choose between one or the other. Choose forgiveness, and we face the possibility of appearing weak. Seek revenge, and we come across as mean and spiteful. UPEI social psychology professor Stacy MacKinnon will talk about forgiveness and revenge on Tuesday, February 9, at this month’s Research on Tap. The discussion begins at 7 p.m. in Mavor’s Bar at the Confederation Centre of the Arts. MacKinnon is an assistant professor of social psychology whose research areas include trust, risk, forgiveness and revenge. At Research on Tap, she’ll discuss "Revenge and Forgiveness: Deciding whether or not to, how to, and how it's going to feel afterward." She will illustrate why a blanket policy of forgiveness might not be a good idea, and she will delve into the dark satisfaction we seek when we carry out revenge. Research on Tap is a series of public discussions with UPEI’s researchers in a comfortable environment. Every month of the winter, we bring a UPEI researcher to a local pub—in this case, Mavor’s—to discuss his or her area of expertise.
