How to decolonize journalism: For decades, Canadian media have covered Indigenous communities with a heavy reliance on stereotypes - casting Indigenous Peoples as victims or warriors. This deep-seated bias in the news can have unsettling consequences for both how a community perceives itself as well as how others perceive them.

He joins Vinita to talk about what Canadian media could be doing better. by Don’t Call Me Resilient

What’s so funny about race?: A lot of comedians we know and love put race, ethnicity and cultural stereotypes at the centre of their comedy.

Vinita gets into it with Faiza Hirji, Associate Professor of Communication Studies and Media Arts at McMaster University and stand-up comedian Andrea Jin. They look at how comedy can be an easier way to talk about difficult issues, and at how we can find a way to laugh with each other, rather than at each other. by Don’t Call Me Resilient
