Spring Session
May 7, 2026 Forensics: Foundations + Fieldwork
8 part Lecture Series: Thursdays 12:30-2:30pm
LIFEInstituteTMU Registration closed
Through rich visual presentations, guided field trips, and case file discussions, students explore the methods and materials used to investigate crime scenes and all suspicious deaths. The course defines the role of coroners, and their respective interactions with police and lab scientists, and includes the identification and reconstruction of human remains. Emphasis is placed on how various forms of evidence are categorized, documented, and interpreted, alongside expert testimony, offering students a grounded understanding of forensic science in real-world contexts.
Fall Session
Oct 2026 Drawing from Within: An Introduction
8 part Art Series: TBD
TMU LIFE Institute
This new course introduces participants to drawing as a process rooted not in replication, but in visualization and structured expression. Moving away from strict reliance on reference imagery, students will develop a personal visual language through guided exercises, material exploration, and compositional strategies. Rather than focusing solely on technical correctness, this course emphasizes the relationship between perception, intuition, and expression, encouraging participants to create art from lived experience, internal dialogue, and personal creative strategies.
NB. Required course materials will be discussed during the first class. Open to all levels of experience.
