This will be an online Zoom meeting. Please RSVP on our Meetup for this event to get access to the Zoom link. See our online meeting instructions at: https://torontooasis.org/online-meeting-instructions

Our program will run from 11 am to 12:30 pm and you can join in to the meeting starting at 10:45 am for our open social. Followed by an extended discussion for a half hour. Volunteers please join by 10:30 am.

We will be watching and discussing a YouTube audio interview with linguist and science communicator Gretchen McCulloch. She discusses her recent book about the linguistics of the internet, in which she describes what is new and not-so-new about the language we use online and the ways we perceive it. The topic and YouTube clip will be introduced by Lola Bradford, who studies linguistics and is a regular Toronto Oasis participant.

We will also be having live music this Sunday! Our featured musician will be Cassie Norton, a Toronto-based singer-songwriter, violinist and climate activist. Cassie is also the music director of Toronto Oasis.

Cassie has recorded two full length albums as a solo artist, Little Strength (2009) and Quiet Wilderness (2010). Cassie and her band released their first EP: Lullaby for the End of Time in February 2019. When she isn’t busy making her own music, Cassie shares her love of music with others through teaching. She teaches a variety of private and ensemble classes at Regent Park School of Music, and through her private studio. Her website is: https://www.cassienorton.com/

Please RSVP on meetup.

Looking forward to seeing familiar faces and perhaps some new ones!
