ON THIS WEEK'S INDIGENOUS ROUNDTABLE:
Corona commiseration. It’s the topic on everyone’s mind, all the time—which itself can be a challenge, for us included. Inundated with infection information, how much might be too much for our mental health? It’s a real question: with so many media already covering Covid-19 so much, should we?
Please email rick@mediaindigena.com with your thoughts on how you might like us to approach our choice of topics going forward and/or formats you might like us to explore.
Joining host/producer to share their thoughts on exactly that and more are Ken Williams, assistant professor with the University of Alberta’s department of drama, and Brock Pitawanakwat, Associate Professor of Indigenous Studies at York University.
