Abstract
What is the Canadian Dialect when it comes to Audio Description? Do descriptions of race, class and gender pronouns matter anymore and why? When does it make the best sense to not describe race at all? How do Canada’s open cultural borders and immigrant rich society affect describers and consumers? How can an Audio Describers own race, gender, and class hang up the process and what are some tools to use when this happens? In this presentation Rebecca, a cis-gender Canadian settler of multiple ethnicities, will guide us through a myriad of tough questions being asked in Canada today.
