Envisioning Asian Canadian Futures
POSTPONED: Envisioning Asian Canadian Futures: Film Studies as Anti-Racist Pedagogy
Following discussions with the panelists, we have all agreed to postpone the upcoming event, Envisioning Asian Canadian Futures: Film Studies as Anti-Racist Pedagogy. This event, which was to take place on Tuesday, May 18, promised to facilitate a very important discussion on timely topics for our community, province and country as a whole. Given the disturbing rise in anti-Asian racism across North America over the past year, we recognize how critical it is to shine a light on this topic. As such, we're looking forward to rescheduling the event at a later date.
