Natural history museums are missing an opportunity to present research and collections on YouTube
There have been repeated calls in the US for scientists to communicate the importance of biological collections to both a general public audience and to policy makers. Natural history museums that house both collections and research staff while maintaining online media presences, are well positioned to communicate that value. Our study aims to understand how these museums present themselves and their research and collections via YouTube. We creat…
Temporary Labour Migration and the “Ceremony of Innocence” of Postwar Labour Law
The article considers the temporary labour migration program in Canada, which catapults workers from the global South into work and wider relations in the global North, in the context of debates swirling around Anglo-American labour law. There is widespread consensus that labour law is experiencing a sustained moment of crisis in the face of neoliberal globalization. Not widely considered is how this crisis relates to temporary labour migration a…
Sacrifice Zones” in the Green Energy Economy
The environmental justice movement validates the grassroots struggles of residents of places which Steve Lerner refers to as “sacrifice zones”: low-income and racialized communities shouldering more than their fair share of environmental harms related to pollution, contamination, toxic waste, and heavy industry. On this account, disparities in wealth and power, often inscribed and re-inscribed through social processes of racialization, are unders…
Migration, development and security within racialised global capitalism
Within international labour migration, received wisdom holds that the migration-development and migration-security couplings co-exist in discord. The migration-development-security relationship is perceived to swing like a pendulum. In this article I reject the simple pendulum formulation which suggests security stands at odds with development. I examine the ways in which migration controls occur through and reproduce racialised global capitalism…
Unfree Labour
"Troubling "Project Canada
Despite persistent denials, Canada's relationship to the Caribbean is fraught with concerns about imperialism and racism. While we have experienced a resurgence in "critical" theorizing on capitalist imperialism, including a focus on Canada's place in global affairs, these interventions fail to meaningfully address labor migration. In taking seriously the racism–imperialism nexus in the context of Canadian–Caribbean relations, I argue that the Ca…
Legal Consciousness and Resistance in Carribean Seasonal Agricultural Workers
On considère que les travailleurs des Antilles du Commonwealth qu'embauchent les producteurs agricoles au Canada en vertu du Programme canadien des travailleurs agricoles saisonniers ignorent tout des normes du travail en vigueur. Cet état de fait constitue non seulement une affirmation empirique concernant l'ignorance et la connaissance du droit, mais aussi une affirmation théorique concernant le rôle du droit dans les relations capitalistes, et…
