BETWEEN: LIVING IN THE HYPHEN

Hello class, I’ve done a short documentary review that ties into one of the key words “hyphenated-Canadian” that was presented in Don and Elizabeth’s presentation. As well as in Yasmeen Abu-Laban’s article. I have also enclosed the link to the documentary for you guys to watch and comment.

WHAT'S THE MEANING BEHIND THE MONUMENT to MULTICULTURALISM

WHEEL OF CONSCIENCE MONUMENT

Here is an interesting article I found relating to Kristen and Sarah’s presentation and Vukov’s article “Performing the Immigrant Nation at Pier 21: Politics and counter politics in the Memorializing of Canadian Immigration”.  The article provides a detailed background behind the creation of the monument.

WELCOME!

A little about me....

I am a fourth year university student in the Faculty of Public Affairs and Policy Management-specializing in the Human Rights. I have created this blog for CDNS3600A to further explore topics we discuss in the class and the readings. Feel free to participate and if you have any further suggestions or if you would like me to post something up, I can be contacted at maureenattivor@carleton.ca.

Hope you enjoy it :)!
