This paper contributes to migration studies, settler colonial studies and critical internationalization studies by mapping as connected two concurrent settler colonial preoccupations, reconciliation and internationalization.

Public Space as a Stress-Relieving Healing Environment
High population and fewer opportunities in rural areas, coupled with migration has resulted in an increase of population in urban areas of developing countries like India.Unskilled labour and a low level of education have forced people to resort to street vending for their livelihood.Moreover, street vending does not need high levels of skills and there is also no rental burden.In fact, it has a very low capital requirement.They now make up about…
Witnessing Public Mourning in Haudenosaunee Youth Theatre
While the Indigenous youth suicide crisis in Canada is widely acknowledged, there is little scholarly attention given to writers who reflect on this from the perspective of being suicide survivors. In this article, I consider the play, And She Split the Sky in Two , by Aleria McKay, a youth survivor from Six Nations. I explore how her work functions as an anti-colonial text that re-envisions the suicide crisis at Six Nations through mourning the …

My focus is on the development of a condoling methodology to e…

The Problem of 'Authentic Experience
Educational workshops are a common approach to addressing racism and homophobia in institutional and organizational settings. One underlying rationale of these efforts is that more knowledge of 'the other' - non-white and queer participants - will lead to greater equity. This article investigates this premise through empirical research into anti-racist and anti-homophobic workshops in a variety of settings. In particular, our analysis focuses on …
