Canada\u2019s first journalism program is launching its first-ever lecture series named for a woman.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Annual Mary Ann Shadd Cary Lecture Series: Voices of Change in Canadian Journalism<\/span><\/a> will feature leading women and non-binary journalists from historically under- and mis-represented communities, who will share their stories and expertise.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCarleton\u2019s first journalism class took place in October 1945. The first Mary Ann Shadd Cary Lecture is scheduled to take place 80 years later, in October 2025,\u201d Trish Audette-Longo, an assistant professor in the journalism program, said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an opportunity to celebrate and centre women and non-binary journalists\u2019 work, and to give students in our undergraduate and graduate programs opportunities to meet some of their heroes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The lecture series is named for Mary Ann Shadd Cary, the first Black woman publisher in North America and the first woman publisher in Canada. In 1853, Shadd Cary founded <\/span>The Provincial Freeman.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cMary Ann was known for her impressive lectures, and for speaking the truth to audiences who sought change, but didn\u2019t always understand her because she was an outspoken woman,\u201d said Nana aba Duncan, the Carty Chair in Journalism, Diversity, and Inclusion Studies and the founder of the Mary Ann Shadd Cary Centre for Journalism and Belonging at Carleton University.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been my mission to make sure our industry recognizes and honours her legacy in journalism. Launching a lecture in her name \u2013 at Canada\u2019s oldest journalism institution \u2013 is the perfect way to do it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Shadd Cary\u2019s pioneering spirit and unwavering commitment to supporting and advancing Black communities, education, and women\u2019s rights through journalism laid the foundation for a more inclusive and just society. Her example will guide the selection of invited speakers, who will deliver public lectures at Carleton University.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Mary Ann Shadd Cary Lecture Series will be a cornerstone initiative led by the <\/span>Mary Ann Shadd Cary Centre for Journalism and Belonging<\/span><\/a> and journalism faculty in Carleton University\u2019s School of Journalism and Communication.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new lecture joins a pair of long-standing annual series in the school. The annual <\/span>Kesterton Lecture<\/span><\/a> is named for Wilfred Kesterton, one of the journalism school\u2019s first graduates and faculty members. The annual <\/span>Peter Stursberg Foreign Correspondents Lecture<\/span><\/a> commemorates Stursberg, who reported on the ground during the Second World War, becoming the \u201cvoice of the frontline.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

But the Annual Mary Ann Shadd Cary Lecture will look different from other public lecture series.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Journalism students will be hired and trained to join guest speakers on stage, where they will ask their own questions and moderate audience questions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mary Ann Shadd Cary lecturers will also deliver small workshops or seminars in journalism classes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To make this possible, Audette-Longo and Duncan have launched <\/span>a FutureFunder campaign<\/span><\/a> and aim to raise $55,000 by March 31, 2025 to fund the first four years of the lecture series.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Audette-Longo said the lecture series will provide students with hands-on learning and more opportunities to imagine themselves doing journalism in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a wish list of established, award-winning, brilliant journalists we hope to bring to Carleton, to talk about how they cover the stories that matter in their communities, in the world, in politics, on climate \u2013 there is so much to take on, and I\u2019m so excited,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Duncan emphasized the significance of this event, particularly as efforts to shut down programs focused on inclusion and diversity continue to grow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“This is not the time to pause the work,” she stated. “On the contrary, now is when we double down and intensify our focus on people from historically underrepresented and misrepresented communities.”<\/span><\/p>\n
