Dr. Stephanie Stobbe, Associate Professor of Conflict Resolution Studies
This is the second in a series of three lectures for CMU's 2024/25 first-year course, Ways of Knowing 1 (WK1). In this collaboratively taught course, students work with faculty in seminar settings, roundtable discussions, and public lectures to engage the central question chosen by faculty—what are people for? WK1 invites students into the heart of CMU, involving them in an interdisciplinary, cohort-based class that gets faculty and students thinking theologically together about an issue of current concern, across disciplinary edges.

Thursday, October 24, 2024 @ 6:31 PM
Growing up in Winnipeg, I always thought I would leave this wintery plain the moment I turned 18. University seemed like the kind of thing you had to move away from Winnipeg for, to have a good experience like you see in the movies. I had visited other universities around Winnipeg and had seen the thousands of students rushing around the overwhelmingly large and at times not-so-aesthetically-pleasing campuses, running to catch busses in the freezing cold. I thought, "Yeah, I might take my business elsewhere."
Then I ended up at CMU by chance for a high school internship. The internship itself taught me so much and gave me the opportunity to work with a publishing company at 17 years old, but I was also enchanted by the architecture of the old castle building and the tiny classrooms compared to large lecture halls of other universities. This learning experience seemed to promise a more one-on-one approach.
I grew up in the North End of Winnipeg, which I found difficult for a plethora of reasons. When I moved to northern Manitoba, I made a promise to myself that when I moved again, I would never move back to Winnipeg. If you've ever seen the movie Lady Bird, I had sort of the same melodramatic line of thinking as the main character. As she says in the film, "I want to go to the east coast. I want to go where culture is."
