Untangling the Weave: Why Sewing Has Made a Remarkable Comeback

When Joeita Gupta found out that Reflections Producer Grace Scoffield inherited a sewing machine and was taking up the hobby, she started to wonder if sewing was a lost art, or a growing hobby among people of all ages.  With the growth of fast fashion over consumption and trendy looks, it seemed as though sewing was losing popularity. So, what’s driving this comeback?  Leila Kelleher is an Assistant Professor of Fashion Design at Toronto Metropolitan University and explains how sewing can provide inclusive clothes for people with disabilities or people who are plus-sized, something that mainstream fashion designers don’t always provide. Kristine Fraling, Founder of the New York Sewing Centre, shares how she can get aspiring sewists making their own clothes in as little as 8 hours; her students are looking at sewing as a means of survival and sustainability.  Linda Dineen, Ontario-based fiber artist, lends her perspective on how upcycling materials into art has become popular because of growing sustainability movements. Reflections Producer Grace Scoffield shares how inheriting a 50-year-old sewing machine from her great grandmother completed her craft room and handed her an opportunity to learn a brand-new skill.

The Rosetta Stone of Accessibility: Featuring the GovAI Grand Challenge

There are so many creative uses for AI that go far beyond chatbots. The Government of Canada's G7 GovAI Grand Challenge invited students and professionals across G7 countries and the EU to develop practical AI solutions for public service challenges. Grant Hardy spoke with two winning teams for a sneak peek at their cutting-edge AI technologies. Innervation AI’s “Debiaser” tool scans AI-generated content for ableist language, suggesting safer alternatives before it’s published. Innervation AI Co-founder Jameson Jones-Doyle and Head of Sales Max Brault share how they hope their new tool will make language more inclusive across critical public services. Akemi Izuko, Steven Tang, and Oliver Chen are three Computer Science students at the University of Alberta. They introduce us to ReadyFormAI, their winning entry in the G7 GovAI Grand Challenge. It transforms secure government PDFs into interactive voice conversations, allowing you to fill out and review the form without having to visually navigate the documents.

Disability Representation in Children’s Literature: An Exploration

After Joeita Gupta’s nephew was born, she started to think about what kinds of books to add to his first personal library. She's interested in books that show disability in a positive light and express disability as part of the full human experience. Joeita speaks to Dorothy Ellen Palmer about her book called The Scooter Twins, and they get into a discussion around disability representation in children’s literature. Joeita’s also joined by Kelly Fritsch and Anne McGuire, who speak about their disability representation research and their book We Move Together. And to round out the conversation, Karen Li shares how Groundwood Books aims to publish children’s stories that accurately represent peoples lived experience with disabilities.

AI Up Close and Personal: At Home

Are our fears around AI justified? Kelly MacDonald continues to figure out the answers to this question with a focus on AI's place in our personal lives. Registered Psychologist Dr. Christine Korol is back with insight into how AI is being used in Talk Therapy and other clinical settings as a mental health tool. Technology Analyst and Journalist Carmi Levy, who strongly supported Canada creating Canadian AI chat platforms during his last appearance talking AI, sheds light on how we can think critically about AI's benefits and shortfalls before jumping to black-or-white conclusions. Andrea Howard, Professor in the Department of Psychology at Carleton University, helps us gage our interactions with AI, including on social media platforms, to truly understand what it can offer us and how it can hurt us in today's social worlds.
