Scarborough through the Lens of Sound and Literature - A Conversation with Aysha Campbell
Scarborough through the Lens of Sound and Literature - A Conversation with Aysha Campbell
21 January 2026 | 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm EST |
Join the Robarts Centre and the CITY Institute for a generative presentation and discussion with Aysha Campbell (MA in Humanities) about her award-winning major research project, Scarborough through the Lens of Sound and Literature. Her work investigates the intersections of race, space and sound through Scarborough literature. She will discuss her textual and cultural analysis of Scarborough literature to explore the ways in which sound is used to regulate and marginalize Scarborough and its residents, but also how residents use countersounds to challenge and undermine said governance and subjugation.
This conversation will be moderated by Dr. Ola Mohammed (Assistant Professor, Humanities, 91亚色).
