Join our university club’s interactive seminar, bringing together students from diverse backgrounds to explore what press freedom means, factors that can infringe upon press freedoms, the impacts of press restriction, and the current state of press freedom in Canada and around the world. This will be a seminar held online by Lisa Taylor. She is teaching in Nova Scotia (University of King’s College Halifax) before that she taught at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University), where she served in the School of Journalism as a tenured faculty member, undergraduate program director, and associate chair. If you are interested in learning something new about journalism at a Canadian level or in a global level then you will be delighted. Bill C-18 is trending in Canada so why not hear thoughts about it directly from a journalist? Typically the first hour of our seminars is a presentation by our wonderful guest speaker then the second hour marks our Q&A session with the speaker. Mark your calendar to be part of this inclusive and informative discussion.
The University of Guelph Debate Club acknowledges that much of our work takes place within the Between the Lakes Purchase (Treaty 3); the treaty lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. It is recognized that the Anishinnabe and Hodinöhsö:ni’ peoples have unique, long-standing and on-going relationships with the land and each other and that the Attawandaron people are part of the archaeological record.
