Is Cancel Culture the issue we think it is? When has Cancel Culture gone too far? And above all else, what even is Cancel Culture?

Join Morgan, Sarah and Tehreem as they discuss the controversial phenomenon known as Cancel Culture and the impacts that it has on society. They will be discussing topics that branch from politics to internet celebrities, and all the way to musicians. As well, they will try to answer the question we all want the answer to: “Does Cancel Culture actually work?”

Our online data is more valuable than we think. During this episode, Cassidy and Morgan speak with expert Megan Perram on the topic of social media surveillance and commodification. We uncover the sociology behind power relations and the ‘panopticon’, why social media users aren’t concerned with the surveillance of their online actions, and dig into how the commodification of social media influences identity creation.

Canada prides itself in its multiculturalism, with its “unity in diversity” claim. However, how much of that stands true? This episode of ConvHERsations reveals the ins and out of racism in Canadian institutions. As a neighbour of the United States, Canada is able to portray itself as picture-perfect, which is nothing but a façade. Sherouk and Taamara open a discussion regarding Canada’s racist acts, joined by guests Jason Seguya and Yanaminah.
