PTJC will start its annual lecture series next year to bring interested scholars and community people to out centre. Our first speaker will be Professor Jordan Stanger-Ross (University of Victoria), an award-winning historical scholar of race and ethnicity. Dr. Stanger-Ross has written a book and many articles including the recently published collection edited with Pamela Sugiman, Witness to Loss: Race, Culpability, and Memory in the Dispossession of Japanese Canadians (McGill-Queen's University Press, 2017). He is currently the director of the Landscapes of Injustice research project. Based on the new archival findings, this talk examines an irony of political apology: official acknowledgements of wrongdoing tend to encourage the production of new knowledge that undermines the closure sought in the act of apology itself.
All ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ staff, students, alumni and their invited guests are welcome to attend.
