PR and Society: The Generative powers of history in the present and future.

Dr. Jahansoozi was granted Research and Professional Development funds to collect professional life stories from women and their contribution to the public relations sector in Canada.

For the past year, Virginia McKendry and I have collaborated in the first phase of a long-term research agenda focused on Canadian public relations, and in particular, our interest in how, where and why gender matters in public relations practice in this country. We are taking a critical approach and have produced findings from professional life stories gathered from women who have contributed to the formation of the public relations sector in Canada.
