Kwantlen's Miss Representation Action Group Documentary Series
Founded by ACP English instructors Helen Mendes and Janice Morris, the Miss Representation Action Group is a Kwantlen-based community of practice that came together in response to Kwantlen's Miss Representation documentary screening and town hall event in January 2012. The Miss Representation Action Group's mission is to continue the dialogues started at that event. The 2012-2013 Documentary Series is just one of the projects Kwantlen's Miss Representation Action Group has decided to undertake.
Space is limited, so register early! Note, that everyone must register individually for each screening.
