Bringing our Values to Life: a roundtable
Roundtable eventNovember 13, 2026, 5:00-6:30pm
Hybrid event
Feminist Media Studio, CJ Building, Room 2.130
Concordia University 7141 Sherbrooke W Montreal (Qc)
Our FMS Lab Values are a living document of the shared values guiding our feminist thinking and doing at the FMS. Collectively authored by our members across a series of meetings grounded in building our feminist library—BaFL, the identified values stand at the core of the work we aim to do here. These values and how we define them continue to evolve as does our membership, staff, and the feminist work we enact together.
Each year, we work collectively to reflect on, refine, redefine and enact a lab value, to maintain the values as a “living document” of the Studio. For 2026-27, we will turn to “practicing queer and trans politics.” Join us on November 13th from 5pm-6:30pm for a group discussion of the lab value. FMS members Raph Bessette-Viens, Piper Curtis, Nik Forrest, Cael Keegan, Natalie Kouri-Towe, Krista Lynes, Chantal Partamian, and Annie Thao Vy Nguyen will begin the discussion with some prepared remarks, leading into an open discussion on this and our lab values at large. Drop by early to tour the space, meet our staff, and connect with other current and future FMS members.
Light vegetarian and vegan snacks and refreshments will be served. We ask that you kindly RSVP to help us gauge numbers, but drop-ins are also welcome. Bring a friend!

The Feminist Media Studio is located on the second floor of the Communications and Journalism (CJ) building on the Loyola Campus which can be accessed via an outdoor staircase or ramped entrance. The second floor can then be reached by indoor stairs or elevator. The lab door opens outward into a hallway with a key card entry (restricted to active FMS members).
Inside the lab there is a lounge area with low seating, a narrow kitchenette that may be difficult to navigate with a wheelchair or walker, a large conference room with sliding barn doors, moveable tables and chair seating, the technician’s office which requires key-access, and a production studio which requires key access and features a small sound booth, with a raised floor.
