#10 - York University is rising above and breaking through For the second year in a row, York University has earned recognition from Times Higher Education (THE) in its Impact Rankings, placing an impressive 33rd out of 767 universities. York ranked in the top ten in four key categories, and top 100 in 15 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals measured by THE. York was ranked first in Canada (fifth in the world) for Clean Water and Sanitation, first in Canada (ninth in the world...

Panorama, the online journal of the Association of Historians of American Art. Entitled "The Time Has Now Gone by When Things of This Nature Are to Be Hidden from the Public: Mediating Bodily and Archival Violence," the article describes her encounter with a portrait of Martha Ann Banks, a young African American woman abused by her former enslaver, at the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C. Drawing from her dissertation research, Cross offers insights int...

Publication Date December 18, 2020 For more than three decades, retirees and other community members have come to campus to participate in UCALL – the Union College Academy of Lifelong Learning.
