Parution du nouveau num?ro de la revue tic&soci?t? sur le th?me Objets connect?s : enjeux technologiques, enjeux de soci?t? (vol. 16, n? 2-3 | 2?me semestre 2021 ? 1er semestre 2022) (https://journals.openedition.org/ticetsociete/) Ce nouveau num?ro de la revue tic&soci?t?, coordonn? par B?a Arruabarrena, traite des objets connect?s et des diff?rents enjeux qu?ils soul?vent. Les objets connect?s repr?sentent un secteur de l??conomie en tr?s forte croissance et donnent lieu ? des applications dans de tr?s nombreux domaines, allant de la sant?, ? l?habitat en passant par les transports, l??nergie ou la ville ? intelligente ?. En permettant de capter, d?analyser et de visualiser des donn?es, le plus souvent en temps r?el, ils s?ins?rent rapidement dans toutes les sph?res de la vie quotidienne. Si les recherches et discours d?accompagnement soulignent que les objets connect?s repr?sentent de v?ritables perspectives d?avenir, par exemple pour le suivi des maladies chroniques ou encore pour la gestion de la consommation d??nergie avec le d?ploiement de compteurs ?lectriques ??intelligents??, leurs usages restent controvers?s et les enjeux sociaux, ?thiques, politiques et ?conomiques qu?ils soul?vent restent encore trop peu abord?s. Le pr?sent num?ro vise justement ? aborder les diff?rents enjeux que recouvrent les objets connect?s pour la soci?t?. Les articles qu?il rassemble apportent des ?l?ments de r?ponse tant sur les enjeux technologiques que soci?taux en permettant de clarifier les fonctions de ces nouveaux objets dans leurs usages, leur conception et leur ?valuation dans le contexte de la ? soci?t? num?rique ?. Apr?s l?introduction et un article r?dig? par la coordinatrice (B. Arruabarrena) pr?sentant un ?tat des lieux des travaux en cours sur les objets connect?s, deux textes portent sur des applications dans le domaine du bien-?tre et du sport, l?un s?int?ressant ? la redistribution sociotechnique des responsabilit?s individuelles et collectives dans le design des dispositifs d?automesure du sommeil (C. Calvignac) et l?autre aux promesses d?empowerment port?es par les discours de promotion d?applications d?activit?s physiques (B. Soul?). Les deux textes suivants portent respectivement sur le r?le de l'imaginaire social dans l?acceptabilit? sociale des tatouages connect?s (A. Boutet-Di?ye, A. Seznec) et sur les usages et enjeux de la g?olocalisation dans le contexte de la surveillance parentale (Y. Bruna). Deux autres textes sont consacr?s ? la conception de dispositifs connect?s dans le domaine de la sant?, l?un proposant une nouvelle approche de codesign de dispositifs de suivi de maladies chroniques (M.J. Catoir-Brisson, E. Wremble, P.M. Riccio) et l?autre analysant une recherche en codesign d?objets connect?s pour l?accompagnement de personnes atteinte de la maladie de Parkinson (H. German, N. Del Campo). Un dernier texte apporte un ?clairage juridique sur la protection de la vie priv?e face ? l?essor des objets connect?s, ? partir des modalit?s de mise en ?uvre du r?glement g?n?ral europ?en sur la protection des donn?es (RGPD) (G. Donadieu). Finalement, quatre articles pr?sent?s dans la rubrique ? Varia ? compl?tent ce num?ro double. -------------------------------------------------- Voici le sommaire de ce num?ro du 2?me semestre 2021 et 1er semestre 2022 (vol. 16, n? 2-3) https://journals.openedition.org/ticetsociete/6199 Introduction : Objets connect?s : enjeux technologiques, enjeux de soci?t?

This logic is reflected in discourses of digital inclusion, which seek to integrate marginalized individuals, groups, and territories in existing digital infrastructures and systems. Starosielski (2015, pp.10?11) notes in her study of the undersea cable network that ?centralizing forces continue to permeate and underpin the extension of networks,? while at the same time surfacing the ?conflicts, contestations, and negotiations that shape systems on the ground? (Starosielski, 2015, p. 82). The process of digital inclusion involves tensions and contradictions grounded in the conditions of groups and individuals located at the nodes of globalizing networks. As Baym (2015, pp. 51?52) writes, ?machines can and do accelerate certain trends, cultural weaknesses, and fortify certain social structures while eroding others.? Furthermore, researchers have long identified embedded values in the design, development, and implementation of digital technologies and infrastructures, many of which inadvertently threaten to perpetuate existing hierarchies and introduce new forms of domination and inequality in areas such as class, race, gender and so on (e.g., van Deursen & van Dijk, 2013). In short, struggles between hegemonic ontologies of inclusion and the agency of socially marginalized groups are present in digital inclusion projects situated in a variety of ?hard to reach? terrains: from spatially dispersed communities to those which remain metaphorically ?disconnected,? sometimes by choice. In this thematic issue we invite research that contests, challenges, and reimagines what digital inclusion is and what it should be. We welcome submissions on any facet of this topic writ large. In addition, we are also interested in diverse ?non-adopters? of digital technologies, with the goal of learning from them about the potential and limitations of existing forms of digital inclusion. Pursuant to Dutta (2020, p. 333), who argues that ?the principle of communicative equality shapes the solidarities in the actual work of building communicative infrastructures that are anchored in subaltern voices, guided by subaltern logics and owned by subaltern communities,? we invite authors to consider ways to think about network ontologies from the perspectives of non-adopters. We encourage authors to probe new ways to consider social and digital inclusion from understudied vantage points such as non adopters who wish to remain disconnected. We also anticipate submissions from geographically dispersed communities to learn from groups who are working to connect themselves. Finally, we welcome work that foregrounds values and design choices that can inform understandings of how to shape digital initiatives in more inclusive directions, as well as work that joins agency with critical analysis, pointing us to ways to conceptualize emergent digital networks as active mediating forces in relations of social inclusion. Instructions for Authors: Authors interested in submitting a paper for this issue are asked to consult the journal's instructions for authors and submit their abstracts (maximum of 250 words, with a tentative title) through the abstracts system (here). When submitting their abstracts, authors are also asked to confirm that they are aware that Social Inclusion is an open access journal with a publishing fee if the article is accepted for publication after peer-review (corresponding authors affiliated with our institutional members do not incur this fee). Open Access: The journal has an article publication fee to cover its costs and guarantee that the article can be accessed free of charge by any reader, anywhere in the world, regardless of affiliation. We defend that authors should not have to personally pay this fee and advise them to check with their institutions if funds are available to cover open access publication fees. Institutions can also join Cogitatio's Membership Program at a very affordable rate and enable all affiliated authors to publish without incurring any fees. Further information about the journal's open access charges and institutional members can be found here.

Contextes, th?ories et recherches empiriques dans la collection Communication dirig?e par Gaby Hsab. Celui-ci est en libre acc?s aux ?ditions des Presses de l?Universit? du Qu?bec. Nous avons fait ce choix afin de contribuer ? la libre circulation du savoir. Nous vous invitons par cons?quent ? l?utiliser le plus possible dans le cadre de vos cours. https://www.puq.ca/catalogue/livres/perspectives-critiques-communication-3819.html. ? noter qu'il est toujours possible de commander la version imprim?e (payante) sur le site des PUQ. En vous remerciant de votre attention Tr?s cordialement France, ?ric et Julien R?sum? Le deuxi?me tome de cet ouvrage collectif entend compl?ter ce qui avait d?j? ?t? engag? en 2016 en dressant un tableau de perspectives critiques ?labor?es en sciences humaines et sociales, donnant une intelligibilit? ? de multiples ph?nom?nes contemporains qui rel?vent de la communication. Ces approches visent ? comprendre et ? expliquer ce qui, de mani?re intuitive, ??ne va pas?? dans nos soci?t?s actuelles. Autrement dit, elles cherchent ? expliquer les pathologies sociales de notre pr?sent historique?: rapports de domination de genre, m?pris pour la participation d?mocratique, in?galit?s dans la redistribution des richesses, racisme, colonialisme, instrumentalisation des espaces de parole ? des fins id?ologiques, souffrances dans les organisations professionnelles, gestion technocratique des d?veloppements technologiques, etc. Les auteurs et autrices ayant contribu? ? cet ouvrage s?emploient ? pr?senter des ?uvres incontournables pour les personnes qui souhaitent se doter des ressources conceptuelles afin de penser et d?agir dans notre monde, monde dans lequel la communication se voit attribuer une place toujours plus pr?pond?rante. Sont abord?es, entre autres, les ?uvres de Simone de Beauvoir, de Judith Butler, de John Dewey, d?Andrew Feenberg, de Nancy Fraser, d?Antonio Gramsci, de Stuart Hall, de Harold Innis, d?Armand Mattelart, mais aussi, plus largement, de nombreux ?crits appartenant aux domaines des ?tudes postcoloniales, de genre, des ?tudes critiques de discours, de la communication organisationnelle ou des humanit?s num?riques.

The upcoming one, titled "Communication, Citizenship and Representative Democracy: Theoretical and Practical Approaches", intends to bring together doctoral scholars to discuss research focusing on Media, Politics, Communication and Democracy. May you help us distribute the following CFP to your departments/schools' graduate cohorts? Many Thanks! Best Regards Sibo Chen ProCom at TMU --- CFP --- Web version: https://iamcr.org/webinars/presidential/communication-citizenship PhD Research Webinar: "Communication, Citizenship and Representative Democracy: Theoretical and Practical Approaches" Convened by Nancy Gakahu, University of Leeds, UK IAMCR is pleased to invite applications for the 2022 IAMCR presidential PhD Research Webinar on ?Communication, Citizenship and Representative Democracy: Theoretical and Practical Approaches? convened by Nancy Gakahu, University of Leeds, UK. This webinar intends to bring together doctoral scholars to discuss the place and role of citizens in representative democracy, and mainly, how citizens use various media and communication channels and platforms to connect and engage with the political class. The role and place of citizens in a representative democracy is an important but overlooked component in governance and democratic fronts. This problem stems from misconceptions of political engagements as mere activities done to the people, thereby elevating the actions of the representative (politicians) over those of the represented (the citizens). In a representative democracy, however, citizens have a deliberative role and should be regarded as partners with their representatives. Representative democracy is at its best when it involves pursuits that are done ?with the people.? We encourage a wide range of topics from doctoral students who are interested in the subject of Media, Politics, Communication and Democracy Potential topics include (but are not limited to): *How do citizens utilise various media (electronic, print, digital, social) for democratic engagement? *Can media be utilised by citizens to undermine representative democracy? *The interplay between media, culture, citizenship, and representative democracy. *The interplay between media ownership, regulation, citizenship, and democratic processes. *The transformative power of media and communication technologies in democratic politics. *Citizen journalism and democratic processes. To submit your paper to present in the webinar, download and complete the application form (*) and send it to Nancy Gakahu, the convenor of the webinar, and also Mazlum Kemal Da?delen (IAMCR presidential assistant), with the subject ?IAMCR Presidential PhD Research Webinar: {title of your paper proposal}" by 20 August 2022. If there are several presenters, each should fill in an individual application form and send all the forms in one email. These are the email addresses to be used: Nancy Gakahu > N.Gakahu at leeds.ac.uk Mazlum Kemal Da?delen > mazlum at iamcr.org Acceptance of an application is based on the proposed presentation's academic quality, relevance to the field and the main topic of the webinar, and originality.

Thank you, Emily Emily Collins (she/her) PhD Student, Cinema & Media Arts, York University Research Assistant, Knowledge Mobilization, Archive/Counter-Archive Teaching Assistant, Cinema & Media Arts, York University Graduate Research Associate, Sensorium Centre for Digital Arts & Technology, York University www.emilycollins.info Are you planning on presenting research related to Archive/Counter-Archive (A/CA) at the 2023 Society for Cinema and Media Studies Annual Conference (April 12-15th, 2023, Denver, Colorado)? Please let us know by August 8th! We would love to coordinate paper proposals and constitute A/CA-related panel(s) (see CFP below). CFP: Living Archives and Counter-Archives in Film, Video, and Media Arts in Canada Archives are generally associated with things that are dead and static, but digital media are impacting the very meaning and location of archives along with the production of more dynamic and diverse histories. Since the archival turn in the early 1990s (generally attributed to the rise of the internet and the expansion of local area networks globally), artists and digital humanists, often working in collaboration with archivists, have been at the forefront of developing new ways to animate and create archives both public and private. Artists are using film and media archives to disrupt traditional forms of history, collection, and national narrative. New approaches to celluloid, video, and digital media are process-oriented, participatory, and performative. Archives used in this way foster new living ecologies of entanglement that are generating more complex epistemological models of memory and place. Archive/Counter-Archive: Activating Canada?s Audiovisual Heritage is a SSHRC Partnership Grant research-creation project dedicated to activating and remediating audiovisual archives created by Indigenous Peoples (First Nations, M?tis, Inuit), the Black community and People of Colour, women, LGBT2Q+ and immigrant communities. Political, resistant, and community-based, counter-archives disrupt conventional narratives and enrich our histories. For the purposes of this project, we have defined counter-archives as political, ingenious, resistant, and community-based. They are embodied differently and have explicit intention to historicize differently, to disrupt conventional national narratives, and to write difference into public accounts. They seek to counter the hegemony of traditional archival institutions that have normally neglected or marginalized women, Indigenous, Inuit and M?tis Peoples, the LGBT2Q+ community, and Black, racialized, and immigrant communities. This panel invites presentations on research and research-creation related to the themes and approaches of Archive/Counter-Archive. Keywords: archives and counter-archives; archival film, video, and media; community media; media by women, Indigenous, Inuit and M?tis Peoples, the Black community and People of Colour, the LGBT2Q+ community, and immigrant communities. Please send proposals to Andrew Bailey (kmo at counterarchive.ca) by August 8th. In your proposal, please include your name, a short bio (50 words), submission title, a short abstract (250-350 words), keywords (3-5) and bibliographic references (2-5). -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

URL: From rianka at yorku.ca Thu Aug 4 07:56:36 2022 From: rianka at yorku.ca (Rianka Singh) Date: Thu, 4 Aug 2022 13:56:36 +0000 Subject: [acc-cca-l] Announcing the launch and publication of Re-Understanding Media Message-ID: [?EXTERNAL] Dear CCA Colleagues, I am excited to announce the launch of the recently published Re-Understanding Media: Feminist Extensions of Marshall McLuhan edited by Sarah Sharma and me (out with Duke University Press) will be held next week, on June 13th at Fonderie Darling in Montreal. You can find more details on the launch here: https://fonderiedarling.org/en/Reunderstanding-Media-Symposium. I hope to see some of you there! Re-Understanding Media advances a feminist version of Marshall McLuhan?s key text, Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man, repurposing his insight that ?the medium is the message? for feminist ends. They argue that while McLuhan?s theory provides a falsely universalizing conception of the technological as a structuring form of power, feminist critics can take it up to show how technologies alter and determine the social experiences of race, gender, class, and sexuality. This volume showcases essays, experimental writings, and interviews from media studies scholars, artists, activists, and those who work with and create technology. Among other topics, the contributors extend McLuhan?s discussion of transportation technology to the attics and cargo boxes that moved Black women through the Underground Railroad, apply McLuhan?s concept of media as extensions of humans to analyze Tupperware as media of containment and take up 3D printing as a feminist and decolonial practice. The volume demonstrates how power dynamics are built into technological media and how media can be harnessed for radical purposes. We are so lucky to include contributions from Nasma Ahmed, Morehshin Allahyari, Sarah Banet-Weiser, Wendy Hui Kyong Chun, Brooke Erin Duffy, Ganaele Langlois, Sara Martel, Shannon Mattern, Cait McKinney, Jeremy Packer, Craig Robertson, Sarah Sharma, Ladan Siad, Rianka Singh, Nicholas Taylor, Armond R. Towns, and Jennifer Wemigwans. You can order the book directly from Duke University Press at a 30% discount.

We are sending a note on behalf of the Media Fields journal to announce the CFP of Media Fields 18- "Media Mutualities." We invite short scholarly essays of 1,500 to 2,500 words that are thinking in new, creative, and unexpected ways on the intersection between media and mutualities. The deadline for these short pieces for peer-review is October 1, 2022. Please email ucsb.media.fields at gmail.com for any questions. We have attached the CFP below, and the text version of the same is available here- Mediascapes have always been the site of trans-, multi-, and inter-. From transspecies encounters in Jean Painlev??s zoological journeys within French surrealism, the internationalism gestured in Chris Marker?s ?I?ll do what I can? to a young Patricio Guzman?s call for production aid, to the global multilingual manifestations of Black Lives Matter, relationality has always been a prime mover in shaping radical mediascapes. While trans-, multi-, and inter- serve well as descriptive categories of the sociocultural designs that we inhabit, encounter, resist, or even seek to unlearn (Azoulay 2019), the clarion call from both the margins and the centers of capital have been to go beyond mere descriptions of designs. To imagine another design is to first analyze the very design principles that engender such descriptive categories and learn from those principles to make ?another world? possible. At the core of every design principle lies a set of relations, fungible or otherwise, that actuate such design. We at the Media Fields collective suggest that the form of relations at stake for potentiating a new design is mutuality. Mutuality is an active form of relationality. Not dictated by the forces of capital or state, but by an immanent desire to potentiate interrelations among communities, regions, or even species into counterhegemonic action, mutuality is reciprocity?s political offspring. We acknowledge the implicit presence of mutuality in conceptual paradigms like ?Hemispheric imagination? (Taylor 2001), ?Global South'' (Sousa Santos 2005), ?Urban South? (Simeone 2018), ?Friction? (Tsing 2004), or ?Pluriverse'' (Escobar 2019) as they underline how mutuality shapes cultures and spaces across geographies. Spatial design aside, scholars of commons have also thought of strategies of temporal design. Instead of being bound to capitalist speculative models of risk, they argue for a more radical notion of the commons where the vocabulary of risk is replaced by the praxis of ?affirmative speculation? (Uncertain Commons 2014), staying open to futures whose potentialities are not already harnessed by a predictive model of risk. In pushing mutuality to its brink, we propose that mutuality allows a transversal movement across the epistemic categories like Commons, Global South, Hemispheric Imagination etc., binding them together into a field of mutual pedagogy where the design principles implicit in these categories can learn from each other to shape, as Zapatistas remind us, those possible worlds to come. ?Media mutualities? is then an invitation to think of encounters between media, mediation, and mutuality. Both mediation and mutuality are, in effect, design principles of the existing and potentially sensible world(s). ?Media mutualities? thus moves along two primary axes of inquiry: a) the ways in which perceived examples of mutuality are mediated, and b) using a capacious understanding of media, how does media facilitate mutuality as a practice. Keeping these two axes as the foci of our present issue, we are interested in a wide spectrum of possibilities of mutualities, ranging from but not limited to: ? Media festivals by oppositional collectives ? Ecocritical thinking, creative geographies, and non-extractive design ? Sensing strategies and their interfaces (e.g. the corporeal, the environmental) ? Conversations between epistemological categories (e.g. Global South, commons, Hemispheric imagination) ? Emergent mediascapes amongst and between marginalized or displaced communities ? The relationship between forms of activism, media, and mutuality ? Genealogies of mutualities in film and media studies (e.g. historiography, theory) ? New archival forms and potential knowledge formations We are expecting articles of 1500-2500 words (excluding footnotes) from potential contributors. Please email submissions to submissions at mediafieldsjournal.org by October 1, 2022. Please review our submission guidelines at mediafieldsjournal.org ahead of submission.

We are happy to launch the website for our multimodal research project, ?Against Catastrophe?, with the Ukraine Dispatch. Our project challenges the normalization of catastrophic thinking and necropolitical designs in the contemporary world. It does so through the histories of science and technology, infrastructure studies, environmental criticism, research-based art and speculative design. The project outputs will include an edited volume, offline and online art/design exhibitions, and a series of online publications. As we were conceptualizing the project, Russia invaded Ukraine. Faced with the resulting humanitarian and geopolitical crisis, we felt a need to respond to the unfolding tragedy. With ?Dispatches? ? a short-form, multimedia, online publishing format ? we hope to move past the news cycle-based temporality of contemporary catastrophism, but faster than traditional academic publishing, to shed light on the longer-term structural causes and implications of catastrophes. In the first dispatch, on Russia?s war of aggression against Ukraine, our intention is not to offer a single response to the immediate human tragedy, but to explore the war in and beyond the multiple catastrophes it has wrought. The six collected dispatches here ? by Asia Bazdyrieva, Anna Engelhardt, Krolikowski Art, Katarzyna Nowak, Oleksiy Radynski, and Jonathon Turnbull et al. ? are products of war, but focus on its antecedents and impacts through infrastructure and non-human nature. You can read the full editorial statement here: https://againstcatastrophe.net/editorial ?Against Catastrophe? is led by Dr. Orit Halpern, Lighthouse Professor and Chair of Digital Cultures and Societal Change at Technische Universit?t Dresden. The core project team is based out of Concordia University (Montreal), MIT, and TU-Dresden. ?Against Catastrophe? is funded by Fonds de recherche du Qu?bec and the Swiss National Science Foundation, and is part of the larger Governing Through Design research cluster.

For the 2022 Media Fields conference, we invite scholars to focus on zones as a framework through which to conceptualize and understand film and media. Zones are traditionally conceived as regions or areas set off and distinguished from their surroundings. As the historical zoning of ecological disasters, marginalized communities, and other states of exception have shown, the notion of the zone is inherently embedded in practices of restriction and purpose. At the same time, zones encircle and exist between parallel planes or places. They allow for a more congealed nature of space and place?not as distinct areas but as always already co-mingling. The zone and its etymology thus account for a more porous nature of borders and technics that may elicit unique points of contact, resistance, and imaginary potential. At this conference we ask: What zones have been central to media and film history? What does the concept of the zone add to the discourse on spatiality in media studies? How might thinking about zones enhance studies of space and place? How is our understanding of media archives, infrastructure, film history, and media ecology bolstered by the concept of the zone? With these questions in mind, we seek to take stock of the scholarship on the zone and work towards an interdisciplinary understanding of the zone as a concept in film and media studies at large. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We welcome presentations that engage broadly with zones of mediation and their connections to cinema, media, and technology. Presentations may engage with, but are certainly not limited to the following themes: ? Exclusion and Exception: war zones and ?camps?; prisons and other carceral spaces; biopolitical borders and disciplinary regimes; contact zones and critical pedagogy ? Contamination and Exposure: quarantine and containment zones; biogeographic realms and ecological disasters; extraction practices ? Media and Environment: ecological zones; environments and/as media; media/mediated zones for nonhumans; media and environing ? Infrastructure and Design: urban and rural zoning; architectural practices; forensic architecture; sensing technologies; academic disciplines and methodologies ? Exhibition and Distribution: screenings; questions of logistics; the piratical; regions of coordination and resistance utilizing film and media ? Temporality and Progression: time zones and periods; archives and spaces of preservation; disassociation and other psychological contexts --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We invite scholarship from across disciplines and methodologies. Alternative presentation formats and early-stage projects are welcome. Participants will have 15-20 minutes to present their work virtually over Zoom. Please email a 250-300 word proposal and a brief bio to zones.mediafields at gmail.com by September 12, 2022. -- Media Fields Conference | http://mediafields.wordpress.com/ Media Fields Journal | http://www.mediafieldsjournal.org/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Teaching materials and career videos are also available from the author Sara Bannerman; feel free to get in touch at banners at mcmaster.ca. ?At last, a book on Canadian communication policy that thoroughly integrates critical theory including political economy, gender, and race-based approaches, as well as Indigenous and postcolonial analysis. Bannerman?s crystal-clear prose and exhaustive research provide readers with the definitive guide to who benefits from public policy in a digital age.? ?Vincent Mosco, Queen?s University, Author of The Smart City in a Digital World ?With its robust attention to critical race theory and intersectionality, Bannerman?s book enriches scholarship in Canadian communication policy and law. The book tackles some of the most pressing communication and digital policy issues today, highlighting in particular the imbrication of power and politics and the importance of upholding the often-vexed nature of the public interest.? ?Leslie Regan Shade, Professor, Faculty of Information, University of Toronto "This exciting and innovative new text from Sara Bannerman brings a diverse range of critical perspectives to bear on enduring issues and pressing concerns in communications policy, law, and regulation in the 21st Century. The scope is as ambitious as it is impressive. At each step of the way, Bannerman deftly guides readers through the hotly contested issues that will continue to shape the terrain of intellectual property, freedom of expression, privacy and data protection, telecommunications, broadcasting, and internet regulation for years to come.? ?Dwayne Winseck, Professor, School of Journalism and Communication, Carleton University ?This work is immensely valuable in many respects?it offers an engaging introduction to a wide range of theoretical approaches that are made accessible through clear prose and compelling real-world examples. Unlike many introductory texts, which present perspectives on law and policy in a neutral fashion, this work offers a vigorous critique of Canada?s legal and regulatory communications framework?a regime that, while neutral in its face, serves to reinforce inequity and preserve the status quo.? ?Lisa Taylor, Associate Professor, School of Journalism, Ryerson University ?Sara Bannerman offers a unique primer on a range of Canadian policy and legal issues pertaining to media and communications; its expansive scope is unparalleled. What especially stands out about this book is its attention to the underlying power structures that shape policy and law, as well as its innovative approach to guiding readers through the process of legal research. This text is essential for anyone interested in how Canadian media and communications are shaped by law and policy.? ?Tamara Shepherd, Communication, Media and Film, University of Calgary ?Canada?s rapidly-changing communications system requires thoughtful analysis of both long-standing and emergent issues, from intellectual property law to telecommunications policy. Synthesizing decades of research and legal precedent, Dr. Bannerman unpacks core debates from various theoretical and normative standpoints, paying close attention to power relations and systemic bias, and offering readers a framework to engage in policy research. This is a valuable resource that connects communications policies with the lived experiences of the diverse individuals and groups who make up Canadian society.? ?Rob McMahon, Communications and Technology, University of Alberta Summary This essential resource examines the central issues in Canadian communication policy and law, including freedom of expression, censorship, broadcasting policy, telecommunications policy, internet regulation, defamation, privacy, government surveillance, intellectual property, and more. Taking a critical stance, Sara Bannerman draws attention to unequal power structures by asking the question, whom does Canadian communication policy and law serve? The in-depth discussions consider fundamental theories for analyzing law and policy issues, such as pluralist, libertarian, critical political economy, feminist, queer, critical race, critical disability, postcolonial, and intersectional theories. Accessibly written and featuring further readings, a glossary, and a chapter on legal and policy research and citation, this book provides a superb introduction to the field for students in media studies and communications programs, while also synthesizing advanced critical analysis of key problems in Canadian communication policy and law.

Independent Jewish Voices Canada has called on the Canadian government to condemn the Israeli raids on the offices of seven civil society organizations in Palestine last week. The raids come ten months after Israeli occupation designated six of these organizations as ?terrorist? groups, although it has failed to provide any substantial evidence to support its claims. ?Israel?s crackdown on these organizations is a blatant anti-democratic attempt to delegitimize and ultimately silence Palestinian civil society,? said IJV Communications and Media spokesperson Rowan Gaudet. ?This motive is made especially clear by the attack on Defense for Children International?Palestine which is investigating the killings of some 37 Palestinian children this year alone.? In July, the foreign ministries of Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden jointly investigated Israel?s designation of these organizations as terrorist groups and came to the conclusion that the charges were unsubstantiated. The decision has also been protested by more than twenty Israeli human rights groups and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet, among others. In December 2021, Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister M?lanie Joly said she was in contact with Yair Lapid, then foreign minister, who she claimed to have asked for ?clarity? on the situation. ?The government has had ample time to seek clarity? continued Gaudet. ?It?s time for Canada to take action.

It's also vile to justify such comments because an angry individual's "spirit is assaulted." This opinion piece in yesterday?s Globe and Mail provides insight: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-the-public-service-does-not-understand-antisemitism/ The headline for the piece is ?The Public Service Does Not Understand Antisemitism.? I would add that neither do some in academe. I won?t engage in further discussion of this issue in a public forum dedicated to academic issues. If anyone reading this has a thoughtful and civil comment to make, perhaps they could use our private email addresses, not the CCA's. As much as I respect individual members of Independent Jewish Voices and their supporters, including Professor Berland, they're described as a fringe group. In no way do their views reflect those of members of the larger Jewish community. All peoples should be entitled to self-determination, including the Jewish people. Anyone who disputes the right of Israel to exist (the classic definition of Zionism) is engaging in antisemitism, whatever disingenuous rationalizations might be used. Supporting Israel's statehood is, of course, different from criticizing policies of specific Israeli governments. Finally, in case it needs to be spelled out, my opinions are my own.

It is unfortunate to see the group Independent Jewish Voices Canada (IJV) so mischaracterized in the comments below. As a signatory to past public statements issued by the IJV, I cannot restrain myself from addressing a couple of these, if you will indulge me. First, while there is little doubt, to my mind at least, that IJV represents a small minority position among Canadian Jewish organizations, this is hardly evidence that the positions taken by IJV in no way reflect the concerns or views of ?the larger Jewish community.? I dare say, neither Prof. Barber nor I are qualified to make claims about the views of this larger constituency, in the absence of sustained research that would examine, not only the stated opinions of official leaders and members of community and religious organizations, but also the large number of unaffiliated Jews, who now constitute the demographic majority of the Canadian Jewish population. The case has been made by more than one observer that there has been a markedly growing discomfort among many (especially but not only unaffiliated) Jews with regard to positions taken by official Canadian Jewish organizations who publicly defend Israeli policies or criticize the way issues are handled in the media, and enforce a vision of Jewish solidarity that dismisses criticism of Israel as abhorrent and, in Prof. Barber?s words, merely ?fringe." A marked decline in successful fundraising efforts among these official groups might offer some interesting evidence of the popularity of the positions they have taken. The point here, lest we get lost in the weeds about who represents the ?real? Jewish community or what the position the majority support, is that there is a diversity of opinion on many matters, criticism of Israel policies and actions in Palestine being a clear case in point. The conflation of criticism of Israel with antisemitism is an ongoing, and increasingly deployed tactic adopted by a number of Canadian Jewish organizations, and the argument they put forward conforms well with the position articulated by Prof. Barber. The tactic has been used in recent years to put pressure on Western governments, including Canada, to officially adopt the working definition of anti-semitism proposed by the intergovernmental organization, International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) which conflates criticism of Israel and antisemitism on several fronts. In response to this definition, promoted by Canadian organizations such as B?nai Brith Canada, and recently enshrined by the Government of Ontario and the Government of Canada (and others now?), the IJV encourages an alternative model for defining and fighting against antisemitism, based on the 2020 Jerusalem Declaration, which has been signed by hundreds of academics and others around the world. We urgently appeal to fellow Canadians, Jewish and non-Jewish, to consider carefully the terms of the Jerusalem Declaration, which insists that it is not necessarily antisemitic to support alternative political solutions to the crisis of Israel/Palestine, or to compare the Israeli treatment of occupied territories with settler colonialism and apartheid, among other contentious positions. Criticism of Israeli political policy, military actions, even support for the BDS movement are not inherently antisemitic. This is not to say that there are no antisemites among critics of Israel. Of course there are and hateful racist attacks on Jews must be challenged and denounced. But all Canadians, Jewish and non-Jewish, should also be alarmed and disconcerted at the success with which the Canadian government has bought into the IHRA definition of antisemitism and the threats that definition poses to legitimate criticism of Israel?s occupation of Palestine, freedom of speech, anti-racist activism, and not least the (very weak but still existing) prospects for future Jewish-Palestinian alliances that might point to some ways forward. As scholars concerned with the power of images and words to shape our world, we all should be concerned about the issues raised on this list over the past day or so. This is not in any way intended to excuse, rationalize, or dismiss concern over recently surfaced tweets from Laith Marouf, although as media experts, we surely know even in this alarming case, it is important to carefully parse the words that were actually used rather than rush to make claims about their meaning or consequence. I offer the remarks above in the spirit of encouraging some badly needed reflection on not just Mr. Marouf?s words, but on the terms that have been used to dismiss the political view he presents. Without this, I humbly submit, I see no way out of this mess.

I believe we can and should criticize the policies and aggressions of a government whose actions have been deemed war crimes with the same concerns that lead us to criticize the colonizing violence of our own governments or the racist comments of a single angry individual whose spirit is assaulted by the actions described below and the complicit silence of our elected representatives about them.

It is the first statement by a Canadian politician supporting the rights of Palestinians in line with the policies of The United Nations, Amnesty International, and human rights organizations within both Israel and Palestine.

The widespread use of anti-racist language to suppress the human rights claims of Palestinians is unfortunately common in our media and our universities.

Independent Jewish Voices Canada has called on the Canadian government to condemn the Israeli raids on the offices of seven civil society organizations in Palestine last week. The raids come ten months after Israeli occupation designated six of these organizations as ?terrorist? groups, although it has failed to provide any substantial evidence to support its claims. ?Israel?s crackdown on these organizations is a blatant anti-democratic attempt to delegitimize and ultimately silence Palestinian civil society,? said IJV Communications and Media spokesperson Rowan Gaudet. ?This motive is made especially clear by the attack on Defense for Children International?Palestine which is investigating the killings of some 37 Palestinian children this year alone.? In July, the foreign ministries of Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden jointly investigated Israel?s designation of these organizations as terrorist groups and came to the conclusion that the charges were unsubstantiated. The decision has also been protested by more than twenty Israeli human rights groups and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet, among others. In December 2021, Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister M?lanie Joly said she was in contact with Yair Lapid, then foreign minister, who she claimed to have asked for ?clarity? on the situation. ?The government has had ample time to seek clarity? continued Gaudet. ?It?s time for Canada to take action.

I dare say, neither Prof. Barber nor I are qualified to make claims about the views of this larger constituency, in the absence of sustained research that would examine, not only the stated opinions of official leaders and members of community and religious organizations, but also the large number of unaffiliated Jews, who now constitute the demographic majority of the Canadian Jewish population. The case has been made by more than one observer that there has been a markedly growing discomfort among many (especially but not only unaffiliated) Jews with regard to positions taken by official Canadian Jewish organizations who publicly defend Israeli policies or criticize the way issues are handled in the media, and enforce a vision of Jewish solidarity that dismisses criticism of Israel as abhorrent and, in Prof. Barber?s words, merely ?fringe." A marked decline in successful fundraising efforts among these official groups might offer some interesting evidence of the popularity of the positions they have taken. The point here, lest we get lost in the weeds about who represents the ?real? Jewish community or what the position the majority support, is that there is a diversity of opinion on many matters, criticism of Israel policies and actions in Palestine being a clear case in point. The conflation of criticism of Israel with antisemitism is an ongoing, and increasingly deployed tactic adopted by a number of Canadian Jewish organizations, and the argument they put forward conforms well with the position articulated by Prof. Barber. The tactic has been used in recent years to put pressure on Western governments, including Canada, to officially adopt the working definition of anti-semitism proposed by the intergovernmental organization, International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) which conflates criticism of Israel and antisemitism on several fronts. In response to this definition, promoted by Canadian organizations such as B?nai Brith Canada, and recently enshrined by the Government of Ontario and the Government of Canada (and others now?), the IJV encourages an alternative model for defining and fighting against antisemitism, based on the 2020 Jerusalem Declaration, which has been signed by hundreds of academics and others around the world. We urgently appeal to fellow Canadians, Jewish and non-Jewish, to consider carefully the terms of the Jerusalem Declaration, which insists that it is not necessarily antisemitic to support alternative political solutions to the crisis of Israel/Palestine, or to compare the Israeli treatment of occupied territories with settler colonialism and apartheid, among other contentious positions. Criticism of Israeli political policy, military actions, even support for the BDS movement are not inherently antisemitic. This is not to say that there are no antisemites among critics of Israel. Of course there are and hateful racist attacks on Jews must be challenged and denounced. But all Canadians, Jewish and non-Jewish, should also be alarmed and disconcerted at the success with which the Canadian government has bought into the IHRA definition of antisemitism and the threats that definition poses to legitimate criticism of Israel?s occupation of Palestine, freedom of speech, anti-racist activism, and not least the (very weak but still existing) prospects for future Jewish-Palestinian alliances that might point to some ways forward. As scholars concerned with the power of images and words to shape our world, we all should be concerned about the issues raised on this list over the past day or so. This is not in any way intended to excuse, rationalize, or dismiss concern over recently surfaced tweets from Laith Marouf, although as media experts, we surely know even in this alarming case, it is important to carefully parse the words that were actually used rather than rush to make claims about their meaning or consequence. I offer the remarks above in the spirit of encouraging some badly needed reflection on not just Mr. Marouf?s words, but on the terms that have been used to dismiss the political view he presents. Without this, I humbly submit, I see no way out of this mess.

Independent Jewish Voices Canada has called on the Canadian government to condemn the Israeli raids on the offices of seven civil society organizations in Palestine last week. The raids come ten months after Israeli occupation designated six of these organizations as ?terrorist? groups, although it has failed to provide any substantial evidence to support its claims. ?Israel?s crackdown on these organizations is a blatant anti-democratic attempt to delegitimize and ultimately silence Palestinian civil society,? said IJV Communications and Media spokesperson Rowan Gaudet. ?This motive is made especially clear by the attack on Defense for Children International?Palestine which is investigating the killings of some 37 Palestinian children this year alone.? In July, the foreign ministries of Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden jointly investigated Israel?s designation of these organizations as terrorist groups and came to the conclusion that the charges were unsubstantiated. The decision has also been protested by more than twenty Israeli human rights groups and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet, among others. In December 2021, Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister M?lanie Joly said she was in contact with Yair Lapid, then foreign minister, who she claimed to have asked for ?clarity? on the situation. ?The government has had ample time to seek clarity? continued Gaudet. ?It?s time for Canada to take action. We call on the government to immediately condemn Israel?s attempted shut down of Palestinian groups who are exposing and opposing its well-documented system of apartheid.? ?Just this past June, Justin Trudeau reiterated that Canada and Israel ?are close friends bound together by shared democratic values?,? said Gaudet. ?Does this mean we can expect Canada to shutter the offices of Canadian human rights and Indigenous groups and seize documents they?re using to investigate our government? Or will Canada finally condemn these actions and join with its European allies in rejecting Israel?s claims??

Some members are engaging in Anti-Palestinian racism. Antisemitism and anti-Palestinian racism are both unacceptable. Period. We must find new ways to engage in this discussion. Considering this exchange, I advise the Canadian Communication Association to adopt a clear policy on this issue. I suggest this society adopt a #NoIHRA motion developed by the Academic Alliance Against Antisemitism, Racism, Colonialism and Censorship in Canada (ARC). Language could be used from the Canadian Anthropology Society #NoIHRA motion, or ARC could advise. It is time for us to say no more Anti-Palestinian Racism + no more Antisemitism. Academic Alliance Against Antisemitism, Racism, Colonialism & Censorship in Canada (ARC) #NoIHRA Academic Campaign Highlights * So far, 40 faculty associations and academic unions in Canada have passed motions against the IHRA definition. * On November 26, 2021, the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) national council voted unanimously to oppose the IHRA definition. ?CAUT supports the academic freedom of its members and recognizes the need to safeguard the rights of scholars to critique all states, including the state of Israel, without fear of outside political influence, cuts to funding, censorship, harassment, threats, and intimidation.? CAUT is the national voice for academic staff representing 72,000 teachers, librarians, researchers, general staff and other academic professionals at some 125 universities and colleges across the country. * On October 28, 2020, OCUFA?s Board of Directors, with representatives from over 30 Faculty Associations, unanimously voted against the IHRA definition. ?The working definition, with its list of illustrative examples, conflates legitimate criticism of the state of the State of Israel with antisemitism and may compromise academic freedom at Ontario?s universities by promoting censorship on campus and beyond? (OCUFA President Rahul Sapra). OCUFA represents 17,000 professors and academic librarians in 30 faculty associations across Ontario. * On June 4, 2021, around 300 delegates at La F?d?ration nationale des enseignantes et des enseignants du Qu?bec?s annual convention unanimously adopted the ARC Motion. FNEEQ-CSN represents over 35,000 union members in 46 CEGEPs, 41 private institutions & 12 universities. * 122 leading Palestinian and Arab academics, journalists and intellectuals have criticized the IHRA definition. * 170+ prominent Jewish scholars from across Canada have released a historic statement criticizing the IHRA definition: https://jewishfaculty.ca/. * 650+ Canadian academics have signed the Independent Jewish Voices Open Letter opposing the IHRA definition. * The lead drafter of the IHRA definition has warned of the grave impacts to academic freedom if universities adopt it. * There is no consensus regarding this definition ? an alternative definition of antisemitism written by 200 of the world?s preeminent Jewish and Holocaust studies scholars criticizes the IHRA definition (?Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism?). * There are now dozens of instances of the weaponization of the IHRA definition to censor speech on Israel-Palestine, all of which pertain to progressive, anti-racist speech on Israel-Palestine (despite the real threats of antisemitism from white supremacists). * After the release of the University of Toronto Anti-Semitism Working Group Report (December 8, 2021), the university administration accepted the recommendation to reject the IHRA definition on the grounds of academic freedom. National & Provincial Confederations Opposed to the IHRA Definition: * Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) * Ontario Confederation of Faculty Associations (OCUFA) * Canadian Union of Public Employees of Ontario (CUPE Ontario) * La F?d?ration nationale des enseignantes et des enseignants du Qu?bec (FNEEQ-CSN) 40 faculty associations and academic unions across the country have passed motions against the IHRA Definition: 1.

York University Faculty Association + Other faculty associations and academic unions across the country are currently working on passing a motion against the IHRA Definition. Core Issues The IHRA definition poses a serious threat to academic freedom and intersectional anti-racist and decolonial initiatives across educational institutions. If governments and universities adopt the definition, there will be consequences for scholarship in Canada, including research funding cuts, outside political influence, censorship, harassment, defamation, and intimidation. The IHRA de?nition misconstrues the term to include a broad range of criticism of the State of Israel, particularly targeting decolonial and anti-racist critiques of the policies, structures, and practices of the Israeli state. Together we must stop the IHRA definition from being used not only to censor critical and engaged scholarship but also to undermine anti-racist and decolonization campaigns in our colleges and universities.

The raids come ten months after Israeli occupation designated six of these organizations as ?terrorist? groups, although it has failed to provide any substantial evidence to support its claims. ?Israel?s crackdown on these organizations is a blatant anti-democratic attempt to delegitimize and ultimately silence Palestinian civil society,? said IJV Communications and Media spokesperson Rowan Gaudet. ?This motive is made especially clear by the attack on Defense for Children International?Palestine which is investigating the killings of some 37 Palestinian children this year alone.? In July, the foreign ministries of Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden jointly investigated Israel?s designation of these organizations as terrorist groups and came to the conclusion that the charges were unsubstantiated. The decision has also been protested by more than twenty Israeli human rights groups and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet, among others. In December 2021, Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister M?lanie Joly said she was in contact with Yair Lapid, then foreign minister, who she claimed to have asked for ?clarity? on the situation. ?The government has had ample time to seek clarity? continued Gaudet. ?It?s time for Canada to take action. We call on the government to immediately condemn Israel?s attempted shut down of Palestinian groups who are exposing and opposing its well-documented system of apartheid.? ?Just this past June, Justin Trudeau reiterated that Canada and Israel ?are close friends bound together by shared democratic values?,? said Gaudet. ?Does this mean we can expect Canada to shutter the offices of Canadian human rights and Indigenous groups and seize documents they?re using to investigate our government?

I read the statement as a call for an ethno-nationalist state, but on closer reading, this was not stated. I apologize. I retract the first paragraph of this email. It was a misreading. Colpa mia. I still think, however, that we need to find ways to negotiate these tensions without sliding into zero-sum frames, which the IHRA sets up. Self-determination of any people doesn't have to be a mutually exclusive. I believe the ACC-CCA needs a policy around this issue. The ARC campaign could help here. Sincere apologies to everyone, Greg Bird. ________________________________ Dear all, I agree that the statements made by Marouf have crossed the line, but another line has been crossed in this discussion. Some members are engaging in Anti-Palestinian racism. Antisemitism and anti-Palestinian racism are both unacceptable. Period. We must find new ways to engage in this discussion. Considering this exchange, I advise the Canadian Communication Association to adopt a clear policy on this issue. I suggest this society adopt a #NoIHRA motion developed by the Academic Alliance Against Antisemitism, Racism, Colonialism and Censorship in Canada (ARC). Language could be used from the Canadian Anthropology Society #NoIHRA motion, or ARC could advise. It is time for us to say no more Anti-Palestinian Racism + no more Antisemitism. Academic Alliance Against Antisemitism, Racism, Colonialism & Censorship in Canada (ARC) #NoIHRA Academic Campaign Highlights * So far, 40 faculty associations and academic unions in Canada have passed motions against the IHRA definition. * On November 26, 2021, the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) national council voted unanimously to oppose the IHRA definition. ?CAUT supports the academic freedom of its members and recognizes the need to safeguard the rights of scholars to critique all states, including the state of Israel, without fear of outside political influence, cuts to funding, censorship, harassment, threats, and intimidation.? CAUT is the national voice for academic staff representing 72,000 teachers, librarians, researchers, general staff and other academic professionals at some 125 universities and colleges across the country. * On October 28, 2020, OCUFA?s Board of Directors, with representatives from over 30 Faculty Associations, unanimously voted against the IHRA definition. ?The working definition, with its list of illustrative examples, conflates legitimate criticism of the state of the State of Israel with antisemitism and may compromise academic freedom at Ontario?s universities by promoting censorship on campus and beyond? (OCUFA President Rahul Sapra). OCUFA represents 17,000 professors and academic librarians in 30 faculty associations across Ontario. * On June 4, 2021, around 300 delegates at La F?d?ration nationale des enseignantes et des enseignants du Qu?bec?s annual convention unanimously adopted the ARC Motion. FNEEQ-CSN represents over 35,000 union members in 46 CEGEPs, 41 private institutions & 12 universities. * 122 leading Palestinian and Arab academics, journalists and intellectuals have criticized the IHRA definition. * 170+ prominent Jewish scholars from across Canada have released a historic statement criticizing the IHRA definition: https://jewishfaculty.ca/. * 650+ Canadian academics have signed the Independent Jewish Voices Open Letter opposing the IHRA definition. * The lead drafter of the IHRA definition has warned of the grave impacts to academic freedom if universities adopt it. * There is no consensus regarding this definition ? an alternative definition of antisemitism written by 200 of the world?s preeminent Jewish and Holocaust studies scholars criticizes the IHRA definition (?Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism?). * There are now dozens of instances of the weaponization of the IHRA definition to censor speech on Israel-Palestine, all of which pertain to progressive, anti-racist speech on Israel-Palestine (despite the real threats of antisemitism from white supremacists). * After the release of the University of Toronto Anti-Semitism Working Group Report (December 8, 2021), the university administration accepted the recommendation to reject the IHRA definition on the grounds of academic freedom. National & Provincial Confederations Opposed to the IHRA Definition: * Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) * Ontario Confederation of Faculty Associations (OCUFA) * Canadian Union of Public Employees of Ontario (CUPE Ontario) * La F?d?ration nationale des enseignantes et des enseignants du Qu?bec (FNEEQ-CSN) 40 faculty associations and academic unions across the country have passed motions against the IHRA Definition: 1.

York University Faculty Association + Other faculty associations and academic unions across the country are currently working on passing a motion against the IHRA Definition. Core Issues The IHRA definition poses a serious threat to academic freedom and intersectional anti-racist and decolonial initiatives across educational institutions. If governments and universities adopt the definition, there will be consequences for scholarship in Canada, including research funding cuts, outside political influence, censorship, harassment, defamation, and intimidation. The IHRA de?nition misconstrues the term to include a broad range of criticism of the State of Israel, particularly targeting decolonial and anti-racist critiques of the policies, structures, and practices of the Israeli state. Together we must stop the IHRA definition from being used not only to censor critical and engaged scholarship but also to undermine anti-racist and decolonization campaigns in our colleges and universities.

Brantford, Kitchener, and Waterloo are located on the Haldimand Tract. The Haldimand Tract: On 25 October 1784, Sir Frederick Haldimand, the governor of Qu?bec, signed a decree that granted a tract of land to the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois), also known as the Six Nations, for their alliance with British forces during the American Revolution (1775-83). The Haldimand Tract extends by 6 miles on both sides of the Grand River, from its source in Dundalk Township to its mouth at Lake Erie. Originally, 950,000 acres were designated for the Haldimand Tract. Today approximately 48,000 acres remain.

It's also vile to justify such comments because an angry individual's "spirit is assaulted." This opinion piece in yesterday?s Globe and Mail provides insight: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-the-public-service-does-not-understand-antisemitism/ The headline for the piece is ?The Public Service Does Not Understand Antisemitism.? I would add that neither do some in academe. I won?t engage in further discussion of this issue in a public forum dedicated to academic issues. If anyone reading this has a thoughtful and civil comment to make, perhaps they could use our private email addresses, not the CCA's. As much as I respect individual members of Independent Jewish Voices and their supporters, including Professor Berland, they're described as a fringe group. In no way do their views reflect those of members of the larger Jewish community. All peoples should be entitled to self-determination, including the Jewish people. Anyone who disputes the right of Israel to exist (the classic definition of Zionism) is engaging in antisemitism, whatever disingenuous rationalizations might be used. Supporting Israel's statehood is, of course, different from criticizing policies of specific Israeli governments. Finally, in case it needs to be spelled out, my opinions are my own. I don't speak for my university.

They are terrible as are all vile racist smears against any people defined by race or religion. I just wish our media and our government would take an equally strong (or even just more balanced) position on the circumstances in the Middle East that inspire such comments. Where is the outrage about the well documented illegal violence being committed every day year after year by the Israeli government against Palestinian journalists, human rights organizations, universities, hospitals, medical staff, refugee camps, homes, students, and civilians? These military attacks have been condemned by many governments (not ours), Amnesty International, and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. I believe we can and should criticize the policies and aggressions of a government whose actions have been deemed war crimes with the same concerns that lead us to criticize the colonizing violence of our own governments or the racist comments of a single angry individual whose spirit is assaulted by the actions described below and the complicit silence of our elected representatives about them. I encourage CCA members to push for a fair and truthful accounting of this tragic state of affairs from our media and from our governments. I have attached the statement calling for a revised policy on Israel and Palestine just released by Jagmeet Singh. It is the first statement by a Canadian politician supporting the rights of Palestinians in line with the policies of The United Nations, Amnesty International, and human rights organizations within both Israel and Palestine. When an MP from Hamilton posted Singh?s statement, he was accused of being antisemitic. The widespread use of anti-racist language to suppress the human rights claims of Palestinians is unfortunately common [cid:182e54b87cde07889281] in our media and our universities. I hope the critique of that strategy will be as instant and energetic.

Harvey, the Bad Seeds and Warren Ellis, among others) and that remain profoundly trans- and interdisciplinary (music, cinema, literature, etc.). Adding to the program of Stranger Than Kindness: The Nick Cave Exhibition, presented in Montreal at the Galerie de la Maison du Festival until September 2022, this conversation will engage with and reflect on the imaginative process of the artist and his obsessions, major themes, influences, working methods, and archives. The event will bring together experts and artists who will compare diverse aspects of Nick Cave?s work, taking into consideration the scenography of the exhibition, where biography, autobiography, and fiction blend to create a unique universe. In this context, the sonic environment and the conception of the showrooms reflect the various narrative forms the artist has engaged with during his life. They initiate a very direct and sensorial entry into this fascinating world, a constantly evolving and living archive.

I invite readers to consider the following account of the circumstances leading up to Marouf's inflammatory and racist statement. This account, by Davide Mastracci for Passage, spells out the history. You will aee that Goldberg, a self-identified Zionist communications consultant,? had Marouf banned from twitter in 2019. * LOG IN * BECOME A MEMBER * Laith Marouf, The Israel Lobby And Anti-Racism Funding [https://readpassage.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/passag-article-banners-2.png] Photo created by Kian Malekanian, using an edited screenshot from a TRT Arabic broadcast. The consequences of the campaign against Marouf will pose a threat to pro-Palestine groups throughout Canada. Davide Mastracci SEPTEMBER 6, 2022 * MEDIA * PALESTINE * RACISM In 2016, Mark Goldberg and Laith Marouf got into an argument on Twitter. Goldberg, a telecommunications consultant and blogger, and Marouf, an independent media consultant and producer, had differing views on a matter before the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), an organization they both had an interest in. This argument led Goldberg to start following Marouf?s presence online, logging more than a hundred of his tweets over the next few years. It wasn?t a mere difference of opinion about CRTC intricacies, however, that motivated Goldberg ? it was something else entirely. Goldberg has said that he is ?proud to be a Zionist,? has a daughter that ?made Aliyah? and was formerly active in ?Zionist organizations.? Marouf, meanwhile, is a Palestinian-Syrian man born in Jordan, who has been involved in anti-Zionist and pro-Palestine activism for decades. Goldberg believed that much of Marouf?s online commentary about these issues was antisemitic, and attempted to get him into trouble for it. He claims he got Marouf banned from Twitter in 2019, but his real victory came last month. In 2021, the federal government granted the Community Media Advocacy Centre (CMAC) more than $133,000 as part of Canadian Heritage?s Anti-Racism Action Program. Marouf is a senior consultant at CMAC. This funding came to Goldberg?s attention in April of this year thanks to a CMAC press release about a series of events it was launching as a result of this grant, which contained quotes from both Marouf and Ahmed Hussen, the minister of housing and diversity and inclusion. At this point, Goldberg claims he started trying to get the attention of media figures and politicians, arguing that Marouf shouldn?t be the recipient of government funding due to his statements. In August, right-wing media figures began boosting Goldberg?s efforts, and by the middle of the month a personal feud had turned into a national scandal that has since been covered in every major Canadian news media publication. Reporters and politicians started publicly asking Hussen why the government provided money to CMAC, and demanding that they stop doing so. On August 22, they got their wish, as the government announced it cut funding to CMAC due to ?antisemitic comments? from Marouf. CMAC has since announced that it?s suspending its activities. As a general principle, I agree with the idea that the government shouldn?t fund racism, and if it is, should stop doing so. But the issue isn?t so simple in this case, and its consequences likely will extend far beyond Marouf, posing a threat to pro-Palestine groups throughout Canada. ________________________________ Many, though not all, of Marouf?s tweets that have surfaced throughout this scandal were sent in the context of a member of an oppressed group speaking out against the oppression they and their people face. I don?t feel entitled to police such thoughts (whether from Black people about white people, Indigenous people about settlers, or Palestinians about Israelis), but I acknowledge that people can be genuinely disturbed by them, regardless of the context. That?s been the case with some of Marouf?s tweets. Yet the scandal hasn?t focused solely on these specific tweets, with many of those decrying Marouf instead smuggling his criticisms of Israel as a state, or even simple declarations of facts, into their condemnations of him as an antisemite. (Marouf has denied this allegation through his lawyer, who told the Canadian Press that he doesn?t hold ?any animus toward the Jewish faith as a collective group.?) Here are some examples of this coming from powerful and prominent organizations, as it?s crucial to understanding what?s going on, and what may come next. DIG DEEPER [https://readpassage.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/D3GgOkBXgAE2wWQ-300x200.jpg] Exposing How Pro-Israel Groups Manufacture Antisemitism Narratives These narratives attempt to have the public, media and politicians focus on bogus allegations of antisemitism instead of Israel?s actions. On August 24, B?nai Brith put out a press release calling for the government to get back any of the money it had already given CMAC, arguing that the group?s events themselves, not just Marouf on his personal social media accounts, were antisemitic. The press release notes: ?At a meeting this week, B?nai Brith asked Irwin Cotler, Canada?s Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting Antisemitism, to advise the Government regarding the conclusions of [an independent review into CMAC]. Mr. Cotler agreed. ?In our call with Special Envoy Cotler, we told him the situation is far worse than simply Marouf?s social media tweets,? said Marvin Rotrand, National Director of B?nai Brith?s League for Human Rights. ?The seminars paid for with public money contain overt antisemitism. The tapes of the CMAC seminars so far have escaped public scrutiny. They are an eye-opener.?? Their proof for these claims? An event held by CMAC on May 14 with Marouf as a speaker, which they write ?commences with a hateful diatribe by Marouf in which he falsely claims Israel assassinated journalist Shirheen (sic) Abu Akleh, denounces what he calls the ?Zionist occupation? while claiming that the Zionist militias committed genocide in 1948.? None of these claims are controversial. The fact that the Israeli army killed Abu Akleh is the consensus, and has been proven by in-depth research from several news outlets, organizations and governments. Israel?s occupation of Palestinian lands objectively exists, is motivated by Zionism and is widely condemned as being illegal under international law. And the fact that Israel was created with ethnic cleansing is indisputable, while the claim that it has engaged in genocide is hardly marginal. Yet according to B?nai Brith, these claims are not just wrong or even bad, but supposedly worse than the tweets from Marouf that kickstarted this scandal. Similar allegations were made by Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center (FSWC) in an August 23 press release, where they argue that the recording of the CMAC event shows Marouf ?falsely claiming ?colonialism and racism? govern media and Israel is a ?Zionist apartheid regime? whose ?Zionist militias? had ?waged a campaign of genocide.?? Sure, these groups could be ramping up their rhetoric a bit with the goal of having any money given to CMAC clawed back, but this isn?t the only or even primary motivator for doing so. Instead, it?s to not only lump standard criticisms of Israel into what they deem to be antisemitism, but to actually label these criticisms the worst type of antisemitism. ________________________________ Thus far, we know that CMAC has lost its funding, that it or Marouf likely won?t get any again, and that there?s a chance the government will try to claw back the money it already provided to them. But the consequences of this scandal won?t end with CMAC. Instead, media, politicians and the Zionist organizations I mentioned alike have all pushed for reviews of Canadian Heritage?s funding process for the Anti-Racism Action Program. As a general principle, I agree that if a government funded a racist group, it would make sense to conduct a review to ensure it wouldn?t happen again. But, as mentioned earlier, that?s not what?s going to happen here. We?re not going to get some sort of fair and balanced review of existing funding that genuinely tackles racism. So, what will we get? We can assume this review will be focused on searching for allegedly antisemitic groups or individuals to the detriment or complete exclusion of other forms of racism. That?s the case for a couple reasons. First, the bulk of the accusations against Marouf have been focused on alleged antisemitism, and the loudest voices right now cheering on the review are ones that prioritize combatting it over anything else. Anti-racist groups haven?t been pushing for this review or even speaking on it, and it seems unlikely they?ll have any sway in shaping how it develops. Second, Canada has worked hard in recent years to give the impression that fighting antisemitism is a priority. For example, the federal government committed more than $5.6 million in the 2022 budget over five years to the office of the Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting Antisemitism. In addition, in 2021 the federal government held a National Summit on Antisemitism, where they made several promises for further action and also provided more than $500,000 in additional funding to groups they say ?address antisemitism and hate.? DIG DEEPER [image.gif] Anti-Palestinian Racism Is Behind IHRA?s Antisemitism Definition Ontario?s adoption of IHRA?s antisemitism definition isn?t the first act of its kind to target Palestinians, and it won?t be the last. But the federal government conceives of antisemitism in a very specific and destructive way. As I mentioned, groups like B?nai Brith and FSWC have been attempting to portray standard criticisms of Israel from Marouf as antisemitism. Yet this is hardly unique to this case, and is instead the inevitable result of using the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism, which they all do. They?ve also been successful at getting many other groups within Canada to do the same, including the federal government. To make matters worse, Cotler ? a Zionist who has been accused of anti-Palestinian racism, had his events protested for his ?constant justification of Israeli violence against Palestinians,? and has had personal ties with Israeli government figures ? is Canada?s special envoy on antisemitism, and is a major proponent of IHRA?s definition of it. And now, these forces are explicitly trying to get this definition to be used when assessing if a group that has received funding is antisemitic or not. For example, in their August 24 press release, B?nai Brith argues that this review must involve a ?contract-vetting process [that includes] applying the [IHRA] definition of antisemitism.? So, what will this mean in practice? We know that Zionist organizations lump anti-Zionism in with antisemitism as a principle, and not as an accident. We know that they?ve done that in this case, claiming Marouf?s lecture comments about Israel are antisemitic, and actually worse than the tweets that initially went viral. We know that these groups are pushing for a review of all funding to root out organizations they believe to be antisemitic according to this definition of it. We know that the government cares about fighting this sort of alleged antisemitism, and has funded someone who will make sure it happens. And we know that all sorts of individuals, non-profits, charities and other organizations have been harmed by these baseless claims in the past. As a result, we can safely assume that this review, which Prime Minister Justin Trudeau himself has promised will be conducted, will end up solely or disproportionately taking money and funding from groups that engage in anti-Zionism (or even just criticism of Israel) but are smeared as antisemites. This could happen to groups already rewarded the funding or prevent others from being given it in the future. And it may encourage those in either situation to engage in self-censorship due to the fear of being targeted, therefore watering down the work they do. There?s a lot at stake here, and it would be an error to let this scandal pass without any critical input. Marouf won?t be the only, or even main, target of this campaign for very long. Not because the pro-Palestine movement is secretly filled with antisemites, but rather because many parties have a vested interest in portraying it as such, and are using this moment to put as much pressure on the government as they can to act accordingly. * TWITTER * FACEBOOK * REDDIT * COPY LINK Davide Mastracci is the managing editor of Passage.

Adding to the program of Stranger Than Kindness: The Nick Cave Exhibition, presented in Montreal at the Galerie de la Maison du Festival until September 2022, this conversation will engage with and reflect on the imaginative process of the artist and his obsessions, major themes, influences, working methods, and archives. The event will bring together experts and artists who will compare diverse aspects of Nick Cave?s work, taking into consideration the scenography of the exhibition, where biography, autobiography, and fiction blend to create a unique universe. In this context, the sonic environment and the conception of the showrooms reflect the various narrative forms the artist has engaged with during his life.

Le lancement aura lieu en deux parties: (1) Une prise de parole de deux auteurs de chapitres ainsi que de deux lecteur.rice.s entre 15h30 et 16h45: Julien Daigneault-Boucher et Artur Jorge de Matos Alves pr?senteront bri?vement leurs chapitres respectifs puis feront des liens avec des enjeux contemporains, que ces derniers soient d?ordre communicationnel, culturel, ?conomique, politique, social ou technique; Nikolai Vokuev et Lena H?bner nous diront en quoi les textes leur ont ?t? utiles dans le cadre de leurs ?tudes puis aborderont ?galement les liens qu?ils voient entre ces textes et des enjeux contemporains. Cette premi?re partie aura lieu ? la fois en pr?sence ? l?Universit? du Qu?bec ? Montr?al (UQAM, local J-1187) et ? distance (un lien zoom sera envoy? aux personnes int?ress?es ? merci de nous ?crire au centrecricis at gmail.com) (2) Un cocktail entre 17h00 et 18h30 en salle J-1060 (pavillon Judith Jasmin) ? l?UQAM. Le cocktail sera une bonne occasion de nous retrouver afin de souligner l'ann?e acad?mique qui s'amorce pour le CRICIS. En esp?rant vous voir en grand nombre D?avance, bienvenue ! France Aubin, ?ric George et Julien Rueff _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ? propos du tome 2 des Perspectives critiques en communication : Le deuxi?me tome de cet ouvrage collectif entend compl?ter ce qui avait d?j? ?t? engag? en 2016 en dressant un tableau de perspectives critiques ?labor?es en sciences humaines et sociales, donnant une intelligibilit? ? de multiples ph?nom?nes contemporains qui rel?vent de la communication. Ces approches visent ? comprendre et ? expliquer ce qui, de mani?re intuitive, ? ne va pas ? dans nos soci?t?s actuelles. Autrement dit, elles cherchent ? expliquer les pathologies sociales de notre pr?sent historique: rapports de domination de genre, m?pris pour la participation d?mocratique, in?galit?s dans la redistribution des richesses, racisme, colonialisme, instrumentalisation des espaces de parole ? des fins id?ologiques, souffrances dans les organisations professionnelles, gestion technocratique des d?veloppements technologiques, etc. Les auteurs et les autrices ayant contribu? ? cet ouvrage s?emploient ? pr?senter des ?uvres incontournables pour les personnes qui souhaitent se doter des ressources conceptuelles pour penser et agir dans notre monde, monde dans lequel la communication se voit attribuer une place toujours plus pr?pond?rante. Sont abord?es, entre autres, les ?uvres de Simone de Beauvoir, de Judith Butler, de John Dewey, de Andrew Feenberg, de Antonio Gramsci, de Stuart Hall, de Harold Innis, de Armand Mattelart, mais aussi, plus largement, de nombreux ?crits appartenant aux domaines des ?tudes postcoloniales, de genre, des ?tudes critiques de discours, de la communication organisationnelle ou des humanit?s num?riques. France Aubin est professeure au D?partement de lettres et communication sociale de l?Universit? du Qu?bec ? Trois-Rivi?res (UQTR) et directrice de l?axe de recherche Pratiques et conditions de production de l?information du Centre de recherche interuniversitaire sur la communication, l?information et la soci?t? (CRICIS). ?ric George est professeur titulaire ? l??cole des m?dias de l?Universit? du Qu?bec ? Montr?al (UQAM), directeur du Centre de recherche interuniversitaire sur la communication, l?information et la soci?t? (CRICIS) et membre du Coll?ge des nouveaux chercheurs et cr?ateurs de la Soci?t? royale du Canada. Julien Rueff est professeur associ? au D?partement d?information et de communication de l?Universit? Laval. Ses recherches portent sur les aspects sociaux, culturels et politiques des m?dias num?riques, ainsi que sur les enjeux m?thodologiques de la recherche en communication.

I don?t know anything more than what is on the website: https://globalmediastudies.network/ Our field is ripe for change. While most agree that it needs to be more internationally diverse, progress has been slow. Good ideas are not lacking, but their diffusion and application has lagged. We hope to build a network that will accelerate the development of more globalised ways of studying and teaching media and communication. Our network is not a department or a research centre. We are an informal collective of academics from different continents. We believe that there is already a critical mass of colleagues who have been pushing the boundaries of our field, and even larger numbers who intuitively share our broad vision. We think that loosely coordinated collaboration can accelerate the changes we would like to see. Our immediate goal is to develop a resource hub for teachers: it will recommend topics and course materials for colleagues who want to globalise their syllabi but are not sure how. We are also keen to stimulate more global research in areas that remain highly western-centric, through events and publications. We are starting with an open call to join our network. You may be an academic who is already engaged in efforts to globalise, dewesternise, and decolonialise the field. Or, you may be open to the idea of adapting your teaching and research to make it more diverse and inclusive, but not have figured out an approach that suits you. Please sign up so we can keep the conversation going?. -- Dr. Rebecca Sullivan The University of Calgary SS1142, 2500 University Drive NW Calgary, AB.

Starting in March 2020, COVID-19 pushed newsroom production and reporting courses online or into hybrid online-offline spaces across Canada and around the world. Emerging journalists learned critical skills in environments that necessarily emphasized distance, masking and safeguarding their own and others? safety. Visual storytelling demanded renewed creativity as well as deeper engagement with copyright laws, archived or provided images or footage, and data-driven reporting. At the same time, journalists grappled with the industry?s ?unexamined, power-laden, gendered, racialized, and colonial? roots and structures (Callison and Young 2020, p. 24), pushed to do so after George Floyd was murdered by police in the United States in May 2020 and the limits and failures of doing journalism as it has always been done came into clear focus. This special multimedia issue of Facts and Frictions/Faits et Frictions aims to examine how journalism educators across Canada have and continue to guide students to cover stories in new ways. The objective of this multimedia journal, to be published in Fall 2023, is to ? for the first time ? take on and weigh the continuing effects of pandemic pedagogy in Canadian journalism education. To pool lessons learned and consider opportunities and challenges for the future, we particularly welcome contributions that ponder one or more of the following questions: * How have field reporting and production been taught remotely through a shifting public health crisis? How has the pandemic influenced thinking about the importance or role of the reporter?s body ?on the scene? or ?in the field?? * What lessons were learned in centring accessibility, disability and inclusion in journalism education? * What are the intersections of pandemic pedagogy and reckoning with racism, oppression and colonialism that have emerged in the journalism industry? How are these issues being addressed in journalism schools? * How have lessons focused on data journalism, science journalism and specialized health journalism developed or changed? * How have the demands of gendered, precarious or emotional labour inside and outside of the COVID-19 experiential learning ?classroom? shifted or changed? What is the role of empathy in journalism education? Should empathy play a bigger role in the practice of journalism? * How have journalism educators engaged with students? mental health? How can broader findings regarding journalists? mental health (see Pearson and Seglins 2022) influence (post-) pandemic classroom practices, discussions or reporting assignments? * How has student work on and off campuses changed? What new practices have campus media employed? What are the promises or pitfalls of new international or remote internship or training opportunities? * How has ?I? journalism?testimonials, sharing, questioning aloud?developed through the pandemic? How can critical subjective skills be taught or facilitated in the journalism classroom? * How has the pandemic put a spotlight on the challenges and opportunities of preparing students for newsrooms and journalism careers in the future? What kinds of training demand recovery or re-examination? This special issue is being co-edited by Trish Audette-Longo (Carleton University), Christine Crowther (Carleton University), Nana aba Duncan (Carleton University), Chantal Francoeur (Universit? du Qu?bec ? Montr?al) and Shenaz Kermalli (independent). We invite participation from all journalism educators, including established and emerging scholars and those teaching in precarious or contract positions. Recognizing that a number of factors influence the time and resources available to individual journalist-educators, we invite proposals of 200-500 words (excluding references) for contributions in any one of the three following formats: * original scholarly articles of 5,500-7,000 words that share new journalism education research or theoretical interventions, subject to blind peer review; * original commentary, calls to action, and/or annotated resource lists or syllabi of 1,000-2,000 words that show, explain and reflect on how courses, assignments or lessons were reimagined through the pandemic, subject to blind peer review; * or, a topic for discussion during a theme-based roundtable with other journalism educators via Zoom that will be recorded, transcribed, edited and produced as shareable podcasts and videos. Participants in these sessions will not be expected to prepare a written submission following the roundtable; they will be named as co-authors of transcribed and edited conversations, and identified as co-panelists on the recorded roundtables that will be made available online as podcasts and videos. Proposals are due by email to forcedchange.changementforce at gmail.com by 11:59 p.m. PT on Oct. 31, 2022. Invitations to participate in the special journal issue will be emailed in January, 2023 with deadlines for submission in the spring. * The subject line for emailed proposals for scholarly articles should include ?ARTICLE? and take the form of 500-word abstracts that include a research question and reference to conceptual and methodological frameworks. * The subject line for emailed proposals for commentary, calls to action or annotated teaching materials should include ?COMMENTARY? and take the form of 250-word pitches that set out a problem and a proposed or practiced solution. * The subject line for emailed proposals for roundtable discussion should include ?QUESTION? and take the form of a question you would like to address and why. Proposed co-panelists or group submissions are also welcome.

Les ?tudiants en journalisme ont acquis des comp?tences essentielles dans des environnements qui mettent in?vitablement l'accent sur la distance, le masquage et la protection de leur propre s?curit? et de celle des autres. La narration visuelle a exig? une cr?ativit? renouvel?e ainsi qu'un engagement plus marqu? ? l'?gard des lois sur le droit d'auteur, des images ou des s?quences archiv?es ou fournies, et des reportages ax?s sur les donn?es. Parall?lement, les journalistes se sont attaqu?s aux racines et aux structures ? non examin?es, charg?es de pouvoir, sexu?es, racialis?es et coloniales ? de l'industrie (Callison et Young 2020, p. 24), pouss?s ? le faire apr?s le meurtre de George Floyd par la police aux ?tats-Unis en mai 2020 et la mise en ?vidence des limites et des ?checs du journalisme tel qu'il a toujours ?t? pratiqu?. Ce num?ro sp?cial multim?dia de Facts and Frictions/Faits et Frictions a pour but d'examiner comment les professeurs de journalisme ? travers le Canada ont et continuent de guider les ?tudiants ? couvrir des histoires de fa?on novatrice. L'objectif de cette revue multim?dia, qui sera publi?e ? l'automne 2023, est - pour la premi?re fois - d'assumer et de peser les effets continus de la p?dagogie de la pand?mie dans l'enseignement du journalisme au Canada. Pour mettre en commun les le?ons apprises et envisager les opportunit?s et les d?fis pour l'avenir, nous accueillons particuli?rement les contributions qui r?fl?chissent ? une ou plusieurs des questions suivantes : * Comment le reportage et la production sur le terrain ont-ils ?t? enseign?s ? distance ? travers une crise de sant? publique mouvante ? Comment la pand?mie a-t-elle influenc? la r?flexion sur l'importance ou le r?le du corps du journaliste ? sur les lieux ? ou ? sur le terrain ?? * Quelles le?ons ont pu ?tre tir?es des r?flexions sur, notamment, l'accessibilit?, la d?ficience et l'inclusion dans l'enseignement du journalisme? * Quelles sont les intersections entre la p?dagogie pand?mique et la prise en compte du racisme, de l'oppression et du colonialisme ayant ?merg? dans l'industrie du journalisme? Comment ces questions sont-elles abord?es dans les ?coles de journalisme? * Comment les enseignements ax?s sur le journalisme de donn?es, le journalisme scientifique et le journalisme sp?cialis? dans la sant? se sont-ils d?velopp?s ou ont-ils ?volu?? * Comment les exigences du travail genr?, pr?caire ou ?motionnel ? l'int?rieur et ? l'ext?rieur de la ? classe ? d'apprentissage exp?rientiel dans le cadre du COVID-19 ont-elles ?volu? ou chang? ? Quel est le r?le de l'empathie dans l'enseignement du journalisme? L'empathie devrait-elle jouer un r?le plus important dans la pratique du journalisme? * Comment les enseignants en journalisme se sont-ils engag?s dans la sant? mentale des ?tudiants ? Comment des connaissances plus larges concernant la sant? mentale des journalistes (voir Pearson et Seglins 2022) peuvent-elles influencer les pratiques de formation (post-) pand?mique, les discussions en classe ou les reportages ? r?aliser? * Comment le travail des ?tudiants sur et hors des campus a-t-il chang?? Quelles nouvelles pratiques les m?dias de campus ont-ils employ?es? Quelles sont les perspectives ou les obstacles des nouvelles possibilit?s de stage ou de formation internationales ou ? distance? * Comment le journalisme du " je " - t?moignages, partage, questionnement ? voix haute - s'est-il d?velopp? ? travers la pand?mie? Comment les comp?tences subjectives critiques peuvent-elles ?tre enseign?es ou facilit?es dans la classe de journalisme? * Comment la pand?mie a-t-elle mis en lumi?re les d?fis et les opportunit?s de la pr?paration des ?tudiants aux salles de r?daction et aux carri?res de journalisme ? l'avenir? Quels types de formation exigent une r?vision ou un nouvel examen? Ce num?ro sp?cial est cor?dig? par Trish Audette-Longo (Universit? Carleton), Christine Crowther (Universit? Carleton), Nana aba Duncan (Universit? Carleton), Chantal Francoeur (Universit? du Qu?bec ? Montr?al) et Shenaz Kermalli (ind?pendante). Nous invitons tous les enseignants en journalisme ? participer, y compris les chercheurs ?tablis et ?mergents et ceux qui enseignent dans des postes pr?caires ou contractuels. Reconnaissant qu'un certain nombre de facteurs influencent le temps et les ressources dont disposent les journalistes-enseignants en tant qu?individus, nous invitons les propositions de 200 ? 500 mots (sans les r?f?rences) pour des contributions dans l'un des trois formats suivants : * des articles acad?miques originaux de 5 500 ? 7 000 mots qui partagent de nouvelles recherches sur l'enseignement du journalisme ou des interventions th?oriques, soumis ? une ?valuation ? l?aveugle par les pairs ; * des commentaires originaux, des appels ? l'action et/ou des listes de ressources annot?es ou des plans de cours de 1 000 ? 2 000 mots qui montrent, expliquent et r?fl?chissent ? la mani?re dont les cours, les devoirs ou les le?ons ont ?t? red?finis gr?ce ? la pand?mie, sous r?serve d'une ?valuation anonyme par les pairs ; * ou, un sujet de discussion lors d'une table ronde th?matique avec d'autres enseignants en journalisme via Zoom qui sera enregistr?e, transcrite, ?dit?e et produite sous forme de podcasts et de vid?os partageables. Les participants ? ces sessions ne seront pas tenus de pr?parer une soumission ?crite ? la suite de la table ronde ; ils seront nomm?s en tant que cor?dacteurs des conversations transcrites et ?dit?es, et identifi?s en tant que copan?listes sur les tables rondes enregistr?es qui seront mises en ligne sous forme de podcasts et de vid?os en ligne. Les propositions doivent ?tre envoy?es par courriel ?lectronique ? forcedchange.changementforce at gmail.com avant 23h59 PT le 31 octobre 2022.

Le s?minaire s?attache ? ?tudier les questions f?ministes, intersectionnelles et de genre(s) en termes de m?thodes, m?thodologies et ?pist?mologies (cf. syllabus infra). Deux s?minaires sont pr?vus pour le semestre d?automne 2022 et trois pour le semestre d?hiver 2023 Programmation de l?ann?e 2022: 14 octobre 2022, 9-12h (15h-18h ? Paris): Repr?sentations des genres dans les jeux vid?o Jessica Benonie, docteure en sociologie et chercheure associ?e au LISST Cers (Universit? Toulouse 2) : Enjeux et points de tensions dans l??tude du genre et des jeux vid?o en France. L?ouvrage ? Genre et jeux vid?o ? (Lignon, (sous la dir. de), 2015) issu du premier colloque ?ponyme et sp?cialis? sur le sujet en 2012 semble avoir ouvert la voie dans l??tude des rapports de domination au sein de la premi?re pratique culturelle des fran?ais?e?s. Depuis, ? un niveau pluridisciplinaire, les enqu?tes et analyses sur le genre et les jeux vid?o sont de plus en plus pr?sentes (Andlauer, 2019 ; Benonie, 2019 ; Coville, 2014, 2016). Apr?s la pr?sentation d?un panorama des analyses disponibles et en s?appuyant sur les enseignements de ce r?cent h?ritage, cette communication propose d?identifier des pistes de r?flexions et les points de tensions qui demeurent autour du duo genre et jeux vid?o. Il s?agit de mettre en dialogue les approches existantes et d?identifier ? la fois les enjeux m?thodologiques et les points de crispations que posent une sp?cialisation dans cette th?matique de recherche. ?lodie Simard, doctorante en communication ? l?Universit? du Qu?bec ? Montr?al (UQAM) : Enjeux ?pist?mologiques et m?thodologiques pour une ?tude des repr?sentations vid?oludiques ?tant donn? leur nature interactive, les jeux vid?o ne peuvent ?tre pens?s ind?pendamment des joueurs et joueuses. En effet, le jeu est une ??activit? v?cue?? qui existe dans l?exp?rience du joueur ou de la joueuse (Bonenfant, 2015). Le discours des fans de Tomb Raider quant au personnage de Lara Croft soul?ve des ?l?ments laissant croire que les repr?sentations n?ont pas n?cessairement l?impact pr?sum? par certaines recherches. L?identification aux personnages vid?oludiques se r?v?le un ph?nom?ne complexe qui nuance l?importance de la repr?sentation pour les joueurs et les joueuses et remet en question les arguments n?olib?raux promouvant la pluralit? des repr?sentations au sein des jeux vid?o (au d?triment de la diversit?), mais ?galement l?id?e que puisque le public est soi-disant compos? majoritairement d?hommes h?t?rosexuels, que les protagonistes doivent absolument leur ressembler pour qu?ils se sentent interpell?s (Shaw, 2014). Nous proposons donc d?appr?hender une posture ?pist?mologique compl?mentaire aux ?tudes traditionnelles des repr?sentations en jeu vid?o ainsi que de possibles m?thodologies pour aller au-del? d?une seule analyse visuelle. Plusieurs enjeux m?thodologiques et interrogations ?mergent de cette vision plus complexe des repr?sentations. Il s?agit de les mettre en lumi?re et de les discuter afin de proposer des pistes de r?flexion pour de futures analyses des repr?sentations vid?oludiques. 18 novembre 2022, 9-12h (15h-18h ? Paris): Analyser les antif?minismes, manosph?res et mouvements masculinistes : enjeux m?thodologiques et ?thiques C?line Morin, Ma?tre de conf?rences en Sciences de l'information et de la communication et co-directrice du d?partement Information-Communication de l?Universit? Paris Nanterre D?tails ? venir M?lissa Blais, professeure associ?e ? l?Universit? du Qu?bec en Outaouais et ? l?Institut de recherches et d??tudes f?ministes Investir un terrain dangereux sans se faire mal : le cas de l?antif?minisme Dans le cadre de cette pr?sentation, nous discuterons des enjeux m?thodologiques li?s aux terrains dangereux et plus pr?cis?ment ? l??tude de l?antif?minisme en ligne et hors ligne. Comment se prot?ger et prendre soin de soi lorsque nous sommes confront?.e.s a des discours haineux ? En Am?rique du Nord, l??thique de la recherche en sciences sociales exige souvent que les chercheur.e.s fassent preuves d?une transparence sans failles aupr?s des sujets ? l??tude. Mais qu?en est-il lorsque cette transparence met ? mal la s?curit? des chercheur.e.s ? Comment conjuguer cette n?cessaire dissimulation avec une ?thique f?ministe qui privil?gie le don contre don ? Pour mieux r?pondre ? ces questions, nous aborderons divers aspects de l'architecture de la recherche ? commencer par la d?finition de l'objet (? partir d'un positionnement f?ministe) jusqu'? la diffusion des r?sultats, en insistant sur les questions de s?curit? et du "care" en recherche. ? propos des s?minaires Genre(s) et m?thodes Initi? par H?l?ne Bourdeloie et L?na H?bner et co-organis? par le LabSIC (Laboratoire des Sciences de l?information et de la communication, Universit? Sorbonne Paris Nord, France) et le CRICIS (Centre de recherche interuniversitaire sur la communication, l?information et la soci?t?, Qu?bec, Canada), le s?minaire Genre(s) et m?thodes (GEM) s?attache ? ?tudier les questions f?ministes, intersectionnelles et de genre(s) en termes de m?thodes, m?thodologies et ?pist?mologies. Concept transdisciplinaire fluide et non fig?, le genre ? ou les genres, pour ?chapper ? un fonctionnement social binaire ? a fait l?objet de travaux qui, en proposant un d?centrement radical, ont transform? le paysage des sciences sociales et humaines tout au long du XXe si?cle. Ce s?minaire a pour objectif de proposer un espace pour discuter des apports de ces ?tudes ? la pratique scientifique. Nous y discutons des fa?ons de faire de la recherche lorsqu?on travaille sur le(s) genre(s), de ses / leurs articulations avec d?autres formes de minoration, et du pouvoir critique de cet outil pour d?sessentialiser le monde social. Cherchant ? soustraire la r?flexion ? la pens?e universaliste, nous y d?centrons les regards pour aborder les questions de luttes, de r?sistances, ? l?exemple de celles de corps racis?s qui subissent diff?rents rapports de domination. Nous r?fl?chissons ? la fa?on dont sont op?r?s les d?centrements des concepts et aux d?marches mises en ?uvre pour d?construire les normes dominantes sur les identit?s de genre, les sexualit?s et d?autres rapports de pouvoir comme la classe ou la race. Pluriels, les questionnements portent sur la capacit? ? penser le positionnement de la chercheuse ou du chercheur, son engagement, sa subjectivit?, le d?voilement de biais en termes de production ou d?interpr?tation de donn?es, la r?flexivit? sur ces biais en tant que ressources heuristiques, ?pist?miques ou politiques, les questions ?thiques soulev?es par des objets per?us comme impurs, ou encore l?historiographie ou l?analyse du caract?re genr? d?un objet ou d?un dispositif d?enqu?te? Il s?av?re pertinent de mettre au jour et d?analyser les fa?ons dont le(s) genre(s) ? ainsi que les concepts qui lui / leur sont rattach?(s) ? sont travaill?s et reconstruits par le terrain? Enfin, cet espace de dialogue a aussi pour vocation d?interroger la possible singularit? des m?thodes, m?thodologies et ?pist?mologies des approches par le genre et des ?tudes f?ministes et intersectionnelles. Ce s?minaire met en lumi?re des travaux s?inscrivant dans les champs des m?dias et de la communication, et plus largement en sciences humaines et sociales (sociologie, histoire, anthropologie, sciences politiques ou philosophie?).

Although existing literature has examined the relationship between acculturation and health outcomes, health acculturation as an emerging concept has not been fully developed from a communication perspective. Health acculturation entails a dual process by which both migrants and healthcare professionals change their health beliefs and practices through contact with the other?s cultures. Our edited book aims to unpack the complexity surrounding the health acculturation process through different theoretical frameworks, as well as cross-cultural applications of the concept in a range of communication contexts, including interpersonal, group, organizational, mass, digital and social media. Scope and Recommended Topics: Health acculturation involves the process of gradual changes and development along dimensions such as: 1) health beliefs and practices, 2) health literacy, 3) health systems (e.g., insurance and hospital systems), and 4) health-related social networks/support. Therefore, we invite chapters that theorize and apply the concept of health acculturation in a variety of cultural contexts at the individual, institutional, and societal levels. We welcome submissions from scholars and practitioners in any disciplinary field. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to: ? Theoretical development of health acculturation from different disciplinary perspectives ? Migrants? experience of coping with the differences in health beliefs, practices, and systems in their culture of origin and host culture ? Development of health literacy among migrants across the globe ? Migrants? development of health-related social networks/social support in the host cultures ? Health communication between migrants and healthcare professionals ? Cultural competence of healthcare professionals ? Cross-cultural comparison of health beliefs, practices, and systems and their impact on health acculturation ? Health acculturation strategies adopted by migrants and healthcare professionals ? The role of mass and social media in health acculturation Target Audience: The target audience for this book will consist of upper-level undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty members and practitioners in both communication studies and health sciences, as well as their respective allied fields (e.g., cultural studies, psychology/psychiatry, sociology, anthropology, media studies, medical science, nursing, and public health). In addition to speaking to an academic audience, authors are encouraged to write so as to provide valuable information and resources to practitioners, administrators, and policy makers working in the health sector. Submission Guidelines: Chapter proposals should include the following components: 1. A title page with contact information for all authors; 2. A 700-1200 word (including references), single-spaced extended abstract clearly explaining: a. The purpose and the contents of the proposed chapter; and b. How the proposed chapter relates to the overall aim of the book; 3. A working bibliography ? a list of potential resources for your chapter done in APA style (7th edition); and, 4. A brief biographical statement (maximum 200 words) written in the third person containing the following information: a. Current position and affiliation; b. Highest degree held, field, and institution granting that degree; and, c. Current area of research and/or current research project. Please combine all files into one word document and email to qian at kutztown.edu or rahmed4 at albany.edu no later than October 25, 2022. Please put the subject line as ?health acculturation book chapter.? Notification of acceptance will be sent in early December, 2022. Full chapters will be due by April 10, 2023. Full chapters should be between 6,000-8,000 words, including references. NOTE: Submitted work must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. The editors will review all complete chapter proposals; however, there is no guarantee of eventual publication. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Carleton University is strongly committed to fostering diversity within its community as a source of excellence, cultural enrichment, and social strength. In addition to First Nations, Inuit and M?tis peoples, we welcome those who would contribute to the further diversification of our University including, but not limited to: women; visible minorities; persons with disabilities; and persons of any sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression. In accordance with the University?s Employment Equity Program and pursuant to the Ontario Human Rights Code Section 14, this selection will be limited to Indigenous peoples. Candidates from Indigenous communities and the groups noted above are encouraged to self-identify. Carleton University acknowledges and respects the Algonquin Anishinaabe people, traditional custodians of the land on which the Carleton University campus is situated. The successful candidate will develop courses for the journalism program; teach and advise undergraduate and graduate students; explore collaborations with other units at Carleton; lead a program of research on Indigenous journalism that will engage students and the journalism industry; explore ways to further decolonize journalism; and continue creating or producing impactful journalism in their chosen medium. The successful candidate will be an active participant in the journalism program?s broader pedagogical mission, including teaching theory-based and professional journalism courses in a variety of subject areas and media formats at undergraduate/graduate levels, and undertaking graduate supervisions. The successful candidate will also contribute to efforts to foster journalism skills and education in Indigenous communities across Canada. About the Academic Unit The School offers Bachelor and Master of Journalism degrees; current combined enrolment is approximately 550. It launched the Bachelor of Media Production and Design program in Fall 2018; total capacity by 2022 is expected to be in excess of 200. To learn about our journey, please visit https://carleton.ca/sjc/journalism. Perched on the banks of the Rideau River, Carleton University?s journalism program is a vibrant, student-centred department focused on the crucial work of developing the next generation of thoughtful, skilled journalists at a time when journalism itself is often under attack. Included among the ranks of our dynamic faculty and instructors are award-winning broadcast and print journalists, celebrated authors, and innovative researchers. But we?re far from perfect. Our journalism program remains at a crossroads, despite recent progress in implementing an anti-racism and decolonizing action plan to correct decades of neglect when it comes to the lack of diversity in our faculty, our hiring practices and our curriculum. In recent hiring decisions, we recognized the near absence of full-time faculty members who are racialized or identify as Indigenous, Black, or as persons of colour was a grave disservice to our students and our industry, and put us out of step with the Canadian reality. Hiring an Indigenous faculty member on a full-time basis to fashion an innovative program of teaching, research and outreach is a critical step to Carleton?s journalism program responding to the Calls to Action issued by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the university?s own Kin?m?gawin report. Qualifications Applicants must be accomplished journalists or academics with professional experience intersecting with issues of Indigenous journalism and Storytelling. Applicants will also be expected to show evidence of research experience or potential; and evidence and/or strong potential for outstanding teaching contributions, including the aptitude and enthusiasm for incorporating inventive approaches to pedagogy. A demonstrated ability to work effectively as a contributing team member in a collaborative environment, and evidence of the capacity and initiative to assume a leadership role, is crucial. A graduate degree in a relevant discipline, while not mandatory, may be considered an asset. Application Instructions Please submit the following dossier requirements (as separate PDFs): * Cover letter about you and your connection to Indigenous communities; * Curriculum vitae; * Describe an innovative journalism, research or pedagogical project that you have worked on recently that could contribute to your ability to connect Carleton to Indigenous communities; (500 words); * Describe your research interests/capabilities and connection to Indigenous communities in the field of Indigenous Journalism and Storytelling. (500 words); * Three samples of journalistic or academic work (links acceptable); * Please provide a statement that identifies your strengths in advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion in your discipline and on campus as well as your future plans. * Names/contact information of three referees.

An increasing number of these tools for creative practices are software whose use is a near-compulsory aspect of the contemporary working lives of their practitioners. Despite the ubiquity of software tools in contemporary cultural production, and while there are studies that consider individual fields or industries, there have been few opportunities to consider this condition from an interdisciplinary perspective. This book will explore how creativity is increasingly designed, marketed, and produced through these digital products and services ? a process we refer to as softwarization. We use this term as a kind of provocation that speaks to historically and materially specific sensibilities that shape contemporary cultural practices and creative industries. While softwarization draws particular attention to application software as the quintessential contemporary creative tool, we use the term to encompass a more complex digital assemblage that includes complementary processes in the composition of creative tools including their remediation, platformization, and datafication (to name only a few). If, as we argue, creative tools and softwarization are key to understanding contemporary cultural production, it is essential that we understand them as articulations of political forces, economic interests, and cultural forms in their own right. Creative Tools and the Softwarization of Cultural Production aims to advance this concept from a variety of creative disciplines and practices, toward a more holistic understanding of the relations between cultures and their contemporary means of production. By bringing disparate creative and methodological traditions together in one volume, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of approaches for understanding this complex, emerging, and dynamic field that speaks beyond the disciplinary-specific categories of ?tool,? ?instrument,? and/or ?software?. This edited book will make a unique intervention in the fields of cultural production and the cultural and creative industries. This edited volume is to be published in late 2023 in Palgrave Macmillan?s ?Creative Working Lives? series, edited by Susan Luckman and Stephanie Taylor. We welcome contributions from researchers, instructors, and creative practitioners from any discipline. We also welcome contributions from anywhere in the world. Examples of creative tools: We acknowledge that ?creative tools? and ?software tools? are imprecise terms that point to the lack of shared vocabulary across disciplines ? thus, we find it appropriate to suggest example types of tools that we are particularly interested in: 1. Digital audio workstations (Pro Tools, Ableton Live, GarageBand), plug-ins, software synthesisers, and peripheral hardware 2. Image editors (Photoshop, Sketch) and historical visual editors (e.g. Flash, Corel Draw) 3. Video editors (Premiere Pro, Final Cut) 4. Game engines (Unity, Unreal), middleware (Wwise), and in-game creative tools (Roblox, Minecraft) 5. 3D modelling (CAD, Blender) and animation software (Maya) 6. Bespoke text editors (e.g. Scrivener, Ulysses) and mainstream text editors used in literary production (Microsoft Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice) 7. Suites, software bundles, and parent companies (Adobe Creative Cloud, Avid, Apple, Autodesk) and historical examples (Macromedia) 8. Presentation software (PowerPoint, Canva) 9. Social media content creation functionality (e.g. video editing in TikTok) The chapters for this book will be between 6000-7500 words and will be organised into the following broad areas: * Creative tools and technologies for cultural production: theoretical perspectives Chapters in this section will examine various definitions of creative tools and their implications for cultural production along various theoretical and methodological perspectives (ex. historical, ethnographic, political economic, etc.). How can scholars of cultural production take the role of media technologies and digital tools seriously without falling into technological determinism? In what ways does the softwarization of artistic and creative practice shape cultural production? What theories of techno-social relations can account for the rise, proliferation, and in some cases hegemonic status of softwarization? How can we reconcile changing conceptions of creativity and artistic agency with advancements in theories of technological mediation? How do existing conceptions of creative tools reproduce existing gendered and racialized inequities (to name only two)? How might we better critique such conceptions? * From tools to platforms: developing and maintaining technical ecologies Processes of softwarization for creative tools sometimes embrace the logic of the platform, bringing creatives, third-party developers, and secondary content creators together in some sort of mediated exchange of cultural goods. Distinct from content distribution platforms like Amazon, Spotify, or Netflix, the platformization of creative tools can foster new industries, such as audio plug-ins or 3D model libraries, bringing reputation and diversity to the platform. However, developing for privatised platforms carries risks and contingencies, and, as attested by Photoshop?s transition to Creative Cloud, can be captured into proprietary ecosystems. In this section, we consider the political, economic, and infrastructural effects of organising cultural production and tool development in this way. We also consider adjacent processes and structures of development such as certified educational programmes, proprietary or third-party hardware, application programming interfaces (APIs) for creative tools, and software-as-a-service pricing models. * Cultures of creative tools: communities of practice and their individuation Commercial interests continue to co-opt and reify artistic and creative methods into tools as a means of establishing a particular, neoliberal kind of creative working life. This engenders new forms of community and participation, from social media platforms and forums dedicated to certain creative tools to communities of artistic and creative practitioners organising to design and disseminate and use creative tools that challenge this alienating creativity dispositif. In this section, we collect case studies and examples of collaborations, remixes, hacks, and any other alternative approaches to creative tools for cultural production. The following is a list of potential topics: * Bridging theories of technology and cultural production * Categorical distinctions between software tools and digital media * Theoretical perspectives on creative agency and its mediation/mediatization through creative tools * Cultural/creative industries of software and creative tools * The material assemblages of creative tools * Affordances of softwarization and creative tools * The marketization, financialization, and/or assetization of creative practice through software * Cultural work of designing creative tools * Creative labour with creative tools * Critical pedagogical perspectives on creative tools * (Con)figurations of creativity through creative tools * Representations of creative subjectivities through advertising and grey literature on software tool * Gendered subjectivities of creative tools and their communities * Global perspectives on creative tools and their intersections with race, class, and cultural capital * Colonizing and decolonizing creative practice through software * Alternative uses of creative tools * The aesthetic economies of plugins and patches * Social media as creative tools * Gaming and creative tools * Music and creative tools * Graphic design and creative tools * Video and creative tools * Memes and creative tools * Presentations and creative tools * Visualization and creative tools * Photography and creative tools * Conceptualizing creative tools for cultural production * Exploring the various modalities of creative tools * The platformization of creative tools * Designing software tools greater creative autonomy for practitioners * Creative tools and the culture industry Potential list of approaches and methodologies invited to discuss these topics: * Software studies * The political economy of creative tools * Comparative studies of softwarization * Historical studies of creative tools * Case studies of creative tools for alternative forms of co-creation and distribution * Case studies of the softwarization of creative practices * Communities of practice and creative tools * Creative organizations and creative tools * Art worlds and software tools * Fields of cultural production and softwarization * Cultural techniques and softwarization * Media archaeologies of creative tools * Ethnographies of creative software development * Tool criticism and analysis About the editors: Fr?d?rik Lesage is an Associate Professor in the School of Communication at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada, whose research focuses on the intersections between digital culture and cultural production.
