History has often been told through a white-male, colonial lens. Revelstoke Museum & Archives’ exhibit, Reclaimed Voices, challenges this narrative of history within its community by centering the voices of women, Indigenous Canadian, Japanese Canadian, children, and contemporary voices, including people with disabilities. I am incredibly honoured to have been interviewed by curator Cathy English as part of this project. You can view the contemporary voice interviews on YouTube.
Written as part of the requirements to complete my Master of Arts in Professional Communication at Royal Roads University (2010), Invisible: Narratives on Homelessness in Revelstoke, B.C. uses photovoice, semi-structured qualitative interviews, and reflexive journaling to explore the concept of being unhoused in a small town. You can access a free copy through Library and Archives Canada.
