What new perspectives are gained when Black narratives are included in politics, journalism, and research, and what work is needed to get there?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspired by&nbsp;<em>Black on the Ballot<\/em>, a new podcast and research report documenting the experiences of Black Canadians in politics, this panel will provide a critical look at the experiences of Black Canadians in politics, and the role of the journalists and researchers who chronicle their stories. Panelists will discuss how to increase the number of Black Canadians in public life and offer practical strategies for integrating Black perspectives into politics, journalism, and research.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":61,"featured_media":1783,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_event_type":[],"cu_event_audience":[],"class_list":["post-1780","cu_event","type-cu_event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"cu_event_start_date":"2025-02-11 18:00:00","cu_event_end_date":"2025-02-11 20:30:00","cu_event_location_type":"in-person","cu_event_meeting_address_type":"on-campus","cu_building":"RB","cu_event_meeting_room":"2nd Floor Atrium","cu_event_meeting_address_full":null,"cu_event_virtual_type":"tbd","cu_event_virtual_meeting_link":"","cu_post_thumbnail":"","cu_event_cost":"","cu_event_registration":{"title":"More Info and Registration","url":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sjc\/cu-events\/black-on-the-ballot\/","target":""},"cu_event_secondary_button":"","cu_event_contact_name":"","cu_event_email":"","cu_event_phone":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/1780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/61"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/1780\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1782,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/1780\/revisions\/1782"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1783"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_type?post=1780"},{"taxonomy":"cu_event_audience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_audience?post=1780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
