Stanley trial highlights colonialism of Canadian media

The Conversation published an op-ed by two UBC journalism professors about the controversial trial of Gerald Stanley, who was on trial for killing Colten Boushie, a young Indigenous man.

“Indigenous scholars, activists and community members are largely doing the important work of situating Colten Boushie’s life and death within the colonial context, answering not if race was a factor, but how and why it matters,” wrote Candis Callison and Mary-Lynn Young.
