Liaison variable et modèle variationniste labovien
Une analyse de la liaison chez 96 élèves de lycée a démontré que le nombre global de liaisons produites a été nettement supérieur en lecture qu’en conversation et que les filles en ont réalisé plus que les garçons. Si ces deux résultats ne surprennent guère, ils vont néanmoins à l’encontre des attentes de la théorie variationniste. Nous soutiendrons que ces deux tendances ont pour facteur commun le rôle de la liaison comme marqueur de l’écrit à l…
Transforming higher education towards a socially just pedagogy
Possibilities towards a socially just pedagogy
This paper contributes to an emerging debate on what it means to transform teaching and learning in higher education and to renew the social justice mission of universities. By focusing on the teaching and learning environment, we set the stage for the special issue, exploring the idea of socially just pedagogy, where it comes from and what it means in the present day. The social justice-pedagogy nexus as taken up in this paper aims at using peda…
Exception française? Levelling, Exclusion, and Urban Social Structure in France
This chapter aims to investigate two areas of French exceptionality. First, there is the fact that Labovian variationist research methodologies, widely and successfully applied in Britain, Scandinavia, and anglophone and francophone North America, appear to have made almost no headway in France, without the reasons for this being obvious. Second, as even a casual reader of the sociolinguistic literature will note, there is the surprisingly high d…
Canadian foreign policy in Africa
South Africa's bilateral relationships in the evolving foreign policy of an emerging middle power
This article introduces the special issue on ‘South African Foreign Policy: identity, directions, and intentions’. Here we seek to summarize key insights from the contributions to this special issue to deepen understanding of South Africa’s evolving post-apartheid foreign policy through an exploration of the nature and trajectory of key bilateral relationships from both the global ‘South’ (Brazil, China, Iran, the AU) and ‘North’ (Japan and the U…
Breaking with tradition? South Africa–UK relations
Just over twenty years into its new era of democracy, South African foreign policy appears to be undergoing important changes in orientation and global positioning. Indeed, post-apartheid South African foreign policy has been steadily shifting away from a preoccupation with more traditional partnerships to developing alliances and coalitions with emerging economies and actors seeking to reform the global governance order. The paper seeks to under…
Communities and scholarship in supporting early-career academics at the University of the Witwatersrand
The present paper reports on early-career academics’ (ECAs) experiences of support for teaching in a research-intensive university in Africa. Through conducting a questionnaire and follow up in-depth interviews greater insight into how ECAs perceive and experience support for developing their teaching practice, is gained. Our analysis suggests that most academics interviewed began their first teaching position with no preparation for all that tea…
Risk Regulation, Science, and Interests in Transatlantic Trade Conflicts
When regions like Canada, the US and the EU have disagreed over the legitimacy of risk perceptions they have placed science at the centre of international trade conflict. By looking across cases dispu
Changing perception into reality
Canadians tend to perceive Canada's historic engagement and influence in Africa in ways very much disconnected from reality. Canada's self-image as a humane internationalist country deeply engaged with Africa relies on an idealized version of history. Nevertheless, there have been times when the reality of Canadian foreign policy engagement with Africa has been much closer to that ideal than it is now. This paper seeks to contribute to the debate…

Introducing International Studies
There is a popular perception that large classes result in low levels of student motivation, satisfaction, and engagement. In International Studies (IS) programs, this suggests a challenge for getting students to understand and connect with complex theoretical concepts used to deconstruct the international system and can affect the overall quality of the academic experience. The present study offers insight into how to cope with large IS classes,…
South Africa–Canada relations
Setting the stage for a special section dedicated to interrogating the Canada–South Africa relationship, the paper finds the current South Africa–Canada relationship to be disconnected, fraught and uneasy. This comes as a surprise given the close ties forged during South Africa's democratic transition. In line with a history of support and shared membership of the Commonwealth, G20, Cairns Group and involvement in the Kimberley Process, it is ass…
Peacebuilding, power, and politics in Africa
Peacebuilding, Power, and Politics in Africa is a critical reflection on peacebuilding efforts in Africa. The authors expose the tensions and contradictions in different clusters of peacebuilding activities, including peace negotiations; statebuilding; security sector governance; and disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration. Essays also address the institutional framework for peacebuilding in Africa and the ideological underpinnings of key …
The International Food Safety Complex in Southern Africa
The article seeks to contribute to discussions about international institutional complexes, in particular how they emerge and form functional niches. Testing the premise that competition between international institutions guides functional niche selection, the International Food Safety Complex (IFSC) is characterised and examined in light of the experience of Southern Africa. Institutional competition is shown not to be a necessary precondition f…
Dedialectalization in France
This article challenges the received view that geolinguistic variation in France is both imminent and inevitable. It is certainly true that France's ancestral dialects and regional languages are in terminal decline, and that a combination of late industrialization and the dominance of an oversized capital conurbation has engendered regional dialect leveling of a particularly extreme kind. But we will argue that new varieties are emerging, and tha…
Nafta's Shadow Hangs Over Kyoto's Implementation
The Canadian government indicated recently that it will not meet its Kyoto targets but will develop a "made in Canada" solution to deal with the reduction of climate-changing greenhouse gas emissions. Canada is still legally obligated to achieve its Kyoto reduction requirements and has indicated that it will participate in the second round of Kyoto Protocol talks. However, as a co-signatory of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Cana…
Blue-sky thinking
This paper tests the predictions of Bollack’s 1903 article against the now known reality of twenty-first-century French. While many of his claims are undoubtedly naïve, Bollack often proves an astute observer of spoken French, who merely underestimates resistance to change in the written language. Moreover, he identifies themes which were to dominate the mainstream linguistic agenda, and sets out principles of change which would influence comment…
