The web is an integral part of our digital lives and like all media, how websites are designed and developed reflects cultural values. This influences what we see and what we don’t see, what we can do there and what we can’t.
On Thursday, Jan. 25, 7 p.m. at the Sandman Signature Lodge, Melissa Shouting (BHSc ’19) and Christine Clark (BFA – New Media ’10, MFA ’14) will explore how the web is being reshaped in Indigenous worldviews for cultural revitalization, renewal and relationship building in their PUBlic Professor Series talk — Weaving World Views: The Web as a space for cultural vitality.
WHAT: Media availability for Melissa Shouting and Christine Clark
WHEN: Tuesday, Jan. 23, 2 p.m.
WHERE: Markin Hall Atrium
As many media members are unable to attend the evening PUBlic Professor Series talks, this is an opportunity to speak to the researchers about their work.
