The MHRC is pleased to invite you all to a free special screening and discussion of two experiments in university television.
In 1961, Sir George Williams University produced a short series of half-hours programs, with the local CBC affiliate, to extend university life into the city. We will screen two of these – ‘The Humanities’ and ‘The Role of the University’ – followed by a panel discussion on the history of the university’s relationship to changing media contexts and on the legacy of Concordia’s innovative efforts in media pedagogy.
