DESCRIPTION:\n\nMarnina Gonick | Professor of Education/Women and Gender St
 udies\, Mount St Vincent University\n\n'Voices in Longitude and Latitude: 
 Representing Youth at the Intersection of Art and Ethnography'\n\nFriday\,
  December 7\, in the Art Hive (1st Floor\, Faculty of Education) from 11:3
 0-2:30. Sandwiches\, cookies\, tea\, and coffee will be served.\n\n \n\nMa
 rnina Gonick is the author of Between Femininities: Identity\, Ambivalence
  and the Education of Girls\, published by SUNY Press\; the co-author of Y
 oung Femininity: Girlhood\, Power and Social Change published by Palgrave 
 and co-editor of Becoming Girl: Collective Biography and the Production of
  Girlhood\, published by Canadian Scholars/ Women’s Press. Her articles ha
 ve been published in journals such as Gender and Education\, Feminist Medi
 a Studies\, Qualitative Inquiry\,  Jeunesse: Young People\, Texts\, Cultur
 es.\n\n'This presentation is an experiment in thinking about girls and gir
 lhood through bringing art and ethnography together in a video installatio
 n called Voices in Latitude and Longitude that I collaborated in making wi
 th a professional filmmaker/artist. The presentation will explore methodol
 ogical questions on working across disciplinary boundaries and the implica
 tions for representations of young people and their everyday lives. In pro
 ducing the video\, we travelled to four Canadian geographical regions to w
 ork with girls (ages 13-23) from different communities – Inuit in the Cana
 dian far north\,Transgender in Halifax\, Nova Scotia on the east coast\, J
 ewish in Toronto\, Ontario\, Canada’s largest urban centre\, and Immigrant
 s from different African countries (Congo\, Rwanda\, Ethiopia\, Sudan) in 
 Winnipeg\, Manitoba\, the country’s geographical centre. We video-taped ei
 ghty hours of documentary footage of the girls in their own social milieu 
 (on ski-dos\, at gymnastics class\, at their houses\, etc) landscapes and 
 cityscapes\, domestic and public settings and a series of ethnographic int
 erviews.\n\n'Voices explores the multi-sensory and affective relations of 
 place and becomings through assemblages of bodies\, landscape\, infrastruc
 ture\, and girls’ voices. In the hybrid space of ethnography and art\,Voic
 es explores the “intra-action” (Barad\, 2007) of these elements to produce
  assemblages that\, I suggest open new epistemologies for making sense of 
 girls’ experiences. I am interested in how these assemblages can provide i
 nsights into resources and barriers that diverse girls encounter in their 
 daily lives\, their dreams and aspirations for the future.Not only are not
 ions of girlhood and what it means to be a girl challenged\, but when girl
 s\, places and other manner of matter come together in dynamic ways I sugg
 est that what may be created\, if only temporarily\, is something new\, so
 mething Other.'\n
