Shifting play experiences during the Covid-19 pandemic: Family responses to pandemic restrictions
Children’s play has shifted within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly with increased time within the family home. This study responds to the following research questions: How did COVID-19 restrictions influence children’s play within and outside the home? How did parents describe their role in their children’s play during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic? Canadian Maritime families (n = 30) took part in three telephone inte…
The Birmingham Pen Factories, and Their Female Workforce, 1850-1914
From the mid-nineteenth century, the Birmingham pen factories supplied the world with steel pens. The industry was completely reliant on the high productivity levels and compliance of its predominantly female workforce. Accounts written by nineteenth-century factory visitors lauded the clean light factories and the manufacturers’ care for their employees. However, by piecing together factory inspector reports, oral accounts and union records, a d…
Relative Importance of Well-Being Determinants in Atlantic Canadian Families During the Pandemic
Framed by the socio-ecological model of well-being, we examined the relative importance of factors contributing to three dimensions of well-being (child, parent, and family) during the COVID-19 pandemic. A sample of 536 participants from the Atlantic provinces of Canada answered a cross-sectional survey in 2021, covering experiences during the pandemic (eg, changes in family life and well-being). Well-being was assessed with 3 single-item measure…

Rewriting writing in higher education: The Contested Spaces of Proofreading
This article reports on a research project on proofreading, prompted by its proliferation in contemporary higher education. The article is framed by an academic literacies perspective and develops the concept of ‘writtenness’, which draws attention to both the underlying culturally and socially constructed values relating to the production and reception of written work, and the tendency to under‐acknowledge the academic achievement of writing wel…

Academic Literacy in Post-colonial Times: Hegemonic Norms and Transcultural Possibilities
In this paper, I argue that it is important to bring proficiency in written English language into the frame of a critical pedagogy for academic literacy. This may at first seem a counter-intuitive goal with connotations of constraint and convergence rather than opening up and diversity. However, what is often not taken into account in the notion of opening up new spaces of critique or new 'languages' is that those new critical 'languages' operate…

Declining Social Services and the Threat to Social Reproduction: An Urban Dilemma
RECENT FISCAL CRISES experienced by city and federal governments, together with changes in the economy, have resulted in a decline in basic urban services. Since these services are important aspects of the material resources necessary for survival, their decline is threatening the ability of poor and working-class populations to maintain themselves. The magnitude of current urban problems suggests that we are in the midst of a nationwide crisis i…
Long-Term Effects of Community Service Programs
The need to develop connections between life in the school and that in the community is a recurring theme in educational literature. Of the many means for doing this, one of the more prominent is experiential learning or planned opportunities for learning outside the classroom (Hamilton 1980). Within the experiential learning concept, one variation which has received a good deal of attention is youth participation programs or community service pr…
