The York University Magazine’s Winter 2018 digital issue is available at magazine.yorku.ca. This edition is only the second digital version of the award-winning publication, and the first under the direction of long-time Globe and Mail staff journalist, Deirdre Kelly, who joined York University in November as the magazine’s new editor.

Inside you’ll find: “Dancing on the Edge,” highlighting the nearly 50-year history of York’s Department of Dance; “Nail Biter,” uncovering a doctoral student’s examination of toxic discount nail salons; “Giller Guys,” introducing two former film students who went on to win Canada’s biggest literary prize; “Fresh Coat,” profiling luxury outerwear designer Bojana Sentaler; “Winter’s Dirty Secret” documents important work by a chemistry professor who is looking into the quality of winter air; and much more.
