Workshop: Researching the Administrative history of Diasporic Media

Dr. Mark Hayward will lead a workshop entitled “Researching the Administrative history of Diasporic Media”.

The workshop will focus on some of the ways in which government archives present a series of conceptual and pragmatic problems for researchers exploring the history of diasporic media in Canada. What are the ways that the role that media has placed in Canada’s diasporic community are both captured, and overlooked, within the administrative archives of media the state? Students interested in media and diversity, diaspora and media history are encouraged to discuss their own projects.
