Constructing Heritage in Canada’s South Asian Diasporas — June 16

We invite you to a symposium:

Constructing Heritage in Canada’s South Asian Diasporas

June 16, 2021

10 am (Pacific Daylight Time) via Zoom.

Presented by the Association of Critical Heritage Studies – Canada

In partnership with

South Asian Studies Institute, University of the Fraser Valley

University of Alberta Kule Institute for Advanced Studies

Northumbria University

This symposium examines the construction and performance of cultural heritage in South Asian diaspora communities in Canada. Panelists bring critical perspectives on how and why ‘heritage’ is important in grassroots settings, and whose heritage is omitted from the Canadian historical record.

And we ask: How does diasporic heritage challenge issues – such as the term South Asian, or the term Canadian?

SPEAKERS

Dr Srilata Ravi, University of Alberta

Itrath Sayed, Simon Fraser University

Kathleen Boodhai, Northumbria University

Moderators

Dr. Shabnam Inanloo Dailoo and Dr Susan Ashley (Co-chairs ACHS – Can)
