I am on vacation this week, so here is a slightly shorter version of my weekly newsletter.
This week, we profiled Prof. Hinton Bradbury, who died in June at the age of 82. My colleague Jill Wilson was a student of Bradbury’s at the University of Winnipeg, and she wrote about how his courses changed her.

“We learned about how the stories we tell ourselves (and others) are both as old as time and as unique as the person telling them — a lesson that applies both to psychology and the arts.

A Life’s Story
When fresh-faced students flock to the University of Winnipeg campus in a few weeks for their first taste of post-secondary education, for the first time in nearly half a century they will not have the opportunity during their undergraduate degrees to learn about what’s happening in their own heads from Hinton Bradbury, a gifted professor of psychology who joined the faculty in 1974.
