Refugee” as Metaphor in TripAdvisor Reviews
While reading through Tripadvisor travel reviews for an article I was writing on the temporary housing of refugees in hotels, I made a curious -if not disconcerting -discovery. I noticed that when I searched the English language Tripadvisor.ca site with the keyword "refugee(s)" in any hotel review, without applying any filters to geographic regions, the term was most frequently used metaphorically
Minimizing and Denying Racial Violence: Insights from the Québec Mosque Shooting
On 29 January 2017, a twenty-seven-year-old white man named Alexandre Bissonette entered a mosque in a suburb of Québec City and opened fire, killing six people. Focusing on Canadian media reports, this article examines two seemingly incongruent responses to this heinous massacre.

Justice globale et positionnement du sujet racialisé chez les militants chrétiens du Nord
Au cours des dernières années, le mouvement altermondialiste et les Forums sociaux mondiaux (FSM) ont fait l’objet de critiques sérieuses.

D’autres ont remarqué et commenté la prédominance des groupes du Nord aux différents forums. Mon objectif est d’étudier le positionnement rac…
