Nana aba Duncan | Journalist & Carty Chair in Journalism, Diversity and Inclusion Studies, Carleton University

This week, host Eva Hartling is joined by Nana aba Duncan. Nana aba is a Canadian Journalist who was recently appointed as Associate Professor and the Inaugural Carty Chair in Journalism, Diversity and Inclusion Studies at Carleton University. You may know her from her gigs as guest host of q, an arts and culture show on CBC Radio, and As It Happens, one of the network's most popular radio titles. She has also guest-hosted CBC Toronto's leading weekday morning radio show Metro Morning, the city's afternoon radio show Here & Now, and the Canada-wide Saturday radio show Day 6.

After winning the International Development and Research Centre’s international journalism award, Nana aba headed back to her birthplace of Ghana, where she reported with Ghana Broadcasting Corporation and moved on to produce human rights stories and help establish the radio division of Journalists for Human Rights.

In this conversation, Eva speaks to Nana Aba about racial and gender representation in media and what improvements are needed to achieve equity in the industry — a goal she gets to tackle in her new role at Carleton University.
