Biographical history

Barbara M. Freeman holds a Bachelor of Journalism degree and a Master of Arts in Canadian Studies from Carleton University. She graduated with a Ph.D. in History from Concordia University in Montreal. She began teaching at Carleton University in Ottawa in 1980 after a career in broadcast journalism. As an adjunct research professor of journalism at Carleton University, her key research areas were communications history, and gender and diversity issues in the media in the School of Journalism and Communication. She is the author of Beyond Bylines: Media Workers and Women’s Rights in Canada (2011), The Satellite Sex: The Media and Women’s Issues in English Canada, 1966-1971 (2001), and of Kit’s Kingdom: the Journalism of Kathleen Blake Colema (1989). In these essays, she examines historical cases of women who worked in print and broadcast media and were committed activists as well. Her case studies illustrate how the language and foci of women’s rights have changed from the late 19th century until the year 2000 as her subjects sought equality in education, suffrage, fair employment practices, reproductive and sexual freedom, and the rights of indigenous women. She has also published articles in several anthologies and journals. She is a founding and executive member of the Media and Communication History Committee and a member of the Canadian Committee on Women’s History.

Barbara M. Freeman est titulaire d'une licence en journalisme et d'un master en études canadiennes de l'université Carleton. Elle a obtenu un doctorat en histoire à l'université Concordia de Montréal. Elle a commencé à enseigner à l'université Carleton à Ottawa en 1980 après une carrière dans le journalisme de radiodiffusion. En tant que professeure adjointe de journalisme à l'université Carleton, ses principaux domaines de recherche étaient l'histoire de la communication et les questions de genre et de diversité dans les médias au sein de l'école de journalisme et de communication. Elle est l'autrice de Beyond Bylines : Media Workers and Women's Rights in Canada (2011), The Satellite Sex : The Media and Women's Issues in English Canada, 1966-1971 (2001), et de Kit's Kingdom : the Journalism of Kathleen Blake Colema (1989). Dans ses essais, elle examine des cas historiques de femmes qui travaillaient dans la presse écrite et audiovisuelle et qui étaient également des militantes engagées. Ses études de cas illustrent la manière dont le langage et les priorités des droits des femmes ont évolué entre la fin du XIXe siècle et l'an 2000, alors que ses sujets recherchaient l'égalité dans l'éducation, le suffrage, des pratiques d'emploi équitables, la liberté sexuelle et reproductive, et les droits des femmes indigènes. Elle a également publié des articles dans plusieurs anthologies et revues. Elle est membre fondatrice et exécutive du Comité d'histoire des médias et de la communication et membre du Comité canadien d'histoire des femmes.
