The Subaltern Series: This multi-faceted Series was designed to integrate research, teaching and technology, as well as to produce free learning objects that could be made available through the Internet and used for teaching, learning and public education worldwide. The concept for the Series was developed by Dr. Malinda S. Smith in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Alberta, and implemented with the generous assistance and financial support of a number of people, University, Faculty and departmental units, as well as a core partnership with the Department of Political Science, Arts Resource Centre and Athabasca University.


Research Assistance and Volunteers: Outstanding RA support for the Series was provided by Political Science doctoral student Nisha Nath, particularly for each seminar, the lecture series, and community outreach. The Series was enabled by the generous support of the following: Megan Mackenzie, Stephanie Fletcher, Natasja Treiberg (Political Science Graduate Students Association), and Derek Volker (Political Science Undergraduate Association). The PSUA, in particular, provided volunteers to assist with posters and set up for each seminar. The PS GSA provided invaluable assistance with the Students-Only seminars, which followed each Subaltern Voices lecture.
