Abstract

Canada is defined by its commitment to multicultural diversity, tolerance and liberalism that belie the dominant whiteness of our institutions, including academia. Canadian Communication Studies, despite its history of attending to the power dynamics of the center and the margins, is no exception to this rule. Studies of racism and colonialism are confined to the corners of the discipline, reflecting the lack of representation in communication departments, the canon, and in the field’s flagship journal. This sharply contrasts the prevalence of contemporary issues concerning race, religion, nationalism, nationwide Indigenous movements and anti-racist campaigns, as well as mobilizations against police violence, Islamophobia, and pipelines. Colonialism, race and racialization are central to the framing of these issues and demand urgent attention.

摘要

加拿大以对多元文化多样性，宽容和自由主义的承诺而定义，这掩盖了包括学术界在内的我们机构的主要白人地位。尽管加拿大传播学历来关注中心和边缘的权力动态，但也不例外。种族主义和殖民主义的研究仅限于该学科的角落，这反映出通讯部门，经典和该领域的旗舰杂志缺乏代表性。这与种族，宗教，民族主义，全国范围的土著运动和反种族主义运动以及动员起来反对警察暴力，仇视伊斯兰和管道的动员的当代问题的形成形成鲜明对比。殖民主义，种族和种族化对于这些问题的形成至关重要，需要紧急关注。
