The class Lindsay TAed was CS101, *Canadian Communication in Context*

Lindsay Shepherd is doing a 12 month Master of the Arts at Wilfrid Laurier university. Her MA is specified as "Cultural Analysis & Social Theory". The English Communications class that Lindsay was TA for was CS101, "Canadian Communication in Context". CS101 was the class where "one or many" students spoke a complaint but did not write a complaint to make it formal and official. CS101, which is "Canadian Communication in Context", was meant to educate this: "An Intro to key issues in Canadian mass communications from a variety of perspectives, including such topics as social history of mass media in Canada, public policy and politics, and popular culture." *Canadian Communication in Context* was meant to teach beyond English grammar. Lindsay was required to introduce discussion about Canadian public policy, politics and popular culture whenever these topics were concerned with the English language. An Example that Lindsay tried to teach was the Jordan Peterson & Nicholas Matte debate on public television (TVO Ontario). That debate on The Agenda was a sample of the contentions that many Canadians are having as their criticism of Bill C-16, or a law that compels use of a vocabulary of pronouns rather than prohibiting use of words as slurs. She was doing her job when she used a video clip -- from public television(!) -- of Jordan Peterson and Nicholas Matte.
