At present most of my activities relate to one of these ongoing projects:
- Networks of Exclusion (Charles Davis, principal investigator): Funded by research grants from the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), CERIS- The Ontario Metropolis Project and the Canadian Media Research Consortium, this project takes an original look at the issue of cultural diversity in the Canadian media by focusing on what we call the mediation of cultural diversity in the Ontario screen media production sector. In particular, we examine the creative and economic challenges that are uniquely experienced by creative media professionals who are visible minorities and/or members of various cultural communities.
- The Interactor Commodity: Funded by a standard research grant from the SSHRC, this project examines the linkages between internet users, social media platforms and advertising.
