The world is paying attention to the current war between Russia and Ukraine. While it is devastating and horrific for the Ukrainian people, it is just the latest in more than a century of war, occupation, oppression, and resilience. What makes a person resilient? What makes a people resilient? And how does that come through in a country where violence and threats from all sides have been ongoing for lifetimes? Tomas Vanderkam's research into resilience is informed by his Ukrainian heritage, and he joins the podcast to explore both.

A virtual reality tour of a residential school with Dr. Iloradanon Efimoff and Dr. Katherine Starzyk
Dr. Katherine Starzyk and Dr. Iloradanon Efimoff created a virtual reality tour of a residential school. They collaborated with Survivors and computer scientists to see if a tour in this manner could change attitudes toward residential schools and reconciliation. Did it work? Well...kind of. But that doesn't mean the study wasn't worth doing! On today's episode we discuss what they learned and how even disappointing results move science and understanding forward.
Can a virtual reality residential school, developed with Survivors, improve empathy toward Indigenous people? Conversation article: https://theconversation.com/can-a-virtual-reality-residential-school-developed-with-survivors-improve-empathy-toward-indigenous-people-249996
