Date and Time

Location

Jerry White is Canada Research Chair in European Studies at Dalhousie University. His work ranges across literature and filmmaking (including documentary and avant-garde practices), with a particular focus on “small” or marginal cultures. 

This event is presented by the Film and Visual Studies Colloquium and the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures.
