Habib is a Dal prof who was hosting the Crosswalk Safety Information Café Wednesday, a chance for the Dalhousie Transportation Collaboratory (DalTRAC) and the HRM Crosswalk Safety Advisory Committee to meet with city employees and the public to talk about crosswalk plans and crosswalk […]
Lawyer: put warning labels on gas pumps
What is human nature? In the 21st century, the concept has calcified around a figure of the human being as a rational, advantage-seeking individual, a figure conveniently suited to a capitalist free market economy.
