Nov. 25 Communication Speaks! with Desmond Cole and Shama Rangwala

[Wendy Philpott]

The Department of Communication Arts is delighted to present the Fall Communication Speaks! event with Shama Rangwala and Desmond Cole. Everyone is welcome.

WHAT: "Replay, a pop culture and politics podcast" with Shama Rangwala and Desmond Cole
WHEN: Nov 25, 2021, 7:00-8:00 pm
WHERE: Online via Communication Speaks YouTube Channel<https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuevoYFnQIJKKoyBFKV7_dg>

In this online Communication Speaks! event Shama and Desmond will present their new podcast, Replay. Like much of their other work, Replay critiques racial capitalism, but rather than current events it focuses on pop culture and media. In this talk, they will address why looking at politics through pop culture matters and why they enjoy the culture they critique.

SHAMA RANGWALA is Assistant Professor in the Department of Humanities at York University. Her intermedia and interdisciplinary research focus is on the adaptations of racial capitalism throughout the modern history of settler colonialism. Her other research includes the cross-disciplinary project, “Sounding Race” and public humanities project “Pedagogy and Practice.” Her public-facing work has appeared in Jacobin, The Star, The Globe and Mail, and Canadaland, and she is a regular panelist on Alberta Primetime (CTV).

DESMOND COLE is an award-winning journalist, radio host, and activist in Toronto. His writing has appeared in the Toronto Star, Toronto Life, The Walrus, NOW Magazine, Ethnic Aisle, Torontoist, BuzzFeed, and the Ottawa Citizen. Cole’s first book, The Skin We’re In: A Year of Black Resistance and Power (2020) has foregrounded and redefined national conversations on systemic racism and policing in Canada.
