  • Under the white gaze : solving the problem of race and representation in Canadian journalism

    Creator

    Cheung, Christopher

    Abstract

    Canada's multiculturalism stops where most newsrooms begin. Despite recent efforts to increase diversity in the news, people of colour are often presented as clichés – from freeloading immigrants to keepers of exotic cultures – rather than individuals with complex stories. Instead of treating diversity like a missing ingredient – simply add one racialized reporter and the problem is solved – journalist Christopher Cheung wants newsrooms to change how they cover stories.

  • The culture box : museums as media

    Creator

    Parker, Harley

    Abstract

    In / The Culture Box, Harley Parker applies Marshall McLuhan's medium theory to the museum, analyzes the museum as the site of many media, and specifies the ways in which designer-communicators can engage in inter-sense design to connect audiences and artifacts. Parker argues that museums should retrain the sensory perception of visitors and foster cultural engagement, participation, and empathy.

  • Secularism, race, and the politics of Islamophobia

    Abstract

    Dominant scholarship identifies Islamophobia as a form of racism where race and religion have become conflated in social structures. These important analyses form a complex ideological, social, political, and historical construction. However, the authors in this volume argue that current scholarship does not account for the relationship between secularism and race in social structures in theorizing Islamophobia.

  • Troubles online : ableism and access in higher education

    Abstract

    Online education is often heralded as a solution for accessibility to higher education; however, ableism thrives online. In this timely collection, contributors aim to trouble what online teaching looks like and think critically about how disability is addressed in online classrooms. Through narratives, poetry, interviews, and scholarly analysis, they reflect on disabled, mad, sick, and crip online pedagogy and highlight the possibilities of expanding critical standards for accessible teaching and learning.

  • Les hommes et le féminisme : faux amis, poseurs ou alliés

    Creator

    Dupuis-Déri, Francis

    Abstract

    Opportunisme, fumisterie ou solidarité ? Théâtre politique ou alliance véritable ? Les féministes ont vu neiger. Tant d'hommes font mine de rejoindre leurs rangs pour des motivations douteuses, qui n'ont rien à voir avec l'émancipation des unes ou le disempowerment des autres. Or certains, que l'on soupçonne d'être moins bruyants, chercheraient à être solidaires pour vrai.

  • Stamped : antimanuel d'histoire antiraciste

    Creator

    Reynolds, Jason

    Abstract

    Le livre que vous avez entre les mains n'est pas un manuel d'histoire. C'est un livre sur l'instant présent. Un livre pour comprendre pourquoi nous en sommes arrivés là. Un livre sur la race. Le concept de race a toujours été utilisé pour obtenir le pouvoir et le conserver—mais aussi pour séparer les êtres humains et imposer le silence aux personnes racisées. Ce remix de Stamped From the Beginning d'Ibram X. Kendi met en avant l'histoire des discours racistes en Amérique—porte l'espoir d'un avenir antiraciste.

  • Troubled : a memoir of foster care, family, and social class

    Creator

    Henderson, Rob.

    Abstract

    National bestseller – One of The Economist's Best Books of the Year. In this "affecting...intriguing...heartbreaking" (Booklist) coming-of-age memoir, Rob Henderson vividly recounts growing up in foster care, enlisting in the US Air Force, attending elite universities, and pioneering the concept of "luxury beliefs" – ideas and opinions that confer status on the upper class while inflicting costs on the less fortunate. Rob Henderson was born to a drug-addicted mother and a father he never met, ultimately shuttling between ten different foster homes in California.
