Thanks for getting in touch. I’d be happy to help and have just sent you an email.

Best,
Naomi

I’m presently beginning my Masters in Media Studies at Concordia University and have just discovered your thesis on Mixed Race representation in Film. I have a similar thesis project more specifically within the context of French Canadian Media in general and would love to ask you a couple of questions about your work.

Thanks in advance for our time

Great to hear from you.

Naomi

I’m very interested in the work that you are doing. A colleague and I are putting a panel together for the Canadian Historical Association conference that is taking place in Frederickton, New Brunswick, in May of next year. The conference theme is “History, Memory, Place,” and the panel we are proposing addresses the use of memory – specifically collective memory – in resolving conflict within specific ethnic or religious communities. Denis McKim and I are both Ph.D. candidates at the University of Toronto in the final year of our programs. Denis studies Canadian Presbyterians; I study Canadian Doukhobors. Your work seems to intersect with what we are doing, and we were wondering whether you’d be interested in joining us by presenting work-in-progress on truth and reconciliation processes?

Please contact me to discuss further, and I can share the specifics of what Denis and I have in mind. I would be pleased to make your acquaintance in any case.

Sincerely,
Ashleigh Androsoff

All the best,
Naomi
