#3 - The Global Filipino / Snowden in a Box


Listen Later

On this episode, we’ll be looking ahead to CRAM, a one-night festival of ideas that is bringing Toronto’s four main universities together (imagine an all-night art festival, but for research). We look at two of the night's most unique presentations.
Patrick Alcedo is a scholar, dancer, filmmaker, and associate professor in York’s Department of Dance. His presentation “The Global Filipino: A Moving Experience,” brings together his many interests. Combining documentary film, lecture, and live Philippine folk dances, the presentation explores the Filipino diaspora in Canada.
PLUS: Wouldn’t it be nice to study Edward Snowden’s leaked documents without the government knowing? Well, good news – there’s a technology for that. The Snowden Archive-in-a-Box in an offline archive of all of the publicly available files that Snowden leaked. Libraries and other institutions can use this technology to disseminate sensitive material without incorporating it into their actual collections. Evan Light is an assistant professor of Communications at Glendon College, and shows how it works.
CRAM takes place April 5. For more information, go to https://cramtoronto.com/.
