  • Media representations of Canadian offshore schools in China

    Open AccessIan Alexander, Yu Guo et al.ARTICLEDiscourse Studies in the Cultural…2026

    Canadian offshore high schools have operated in China for 30 years, yet public knowledge and opinions remain limited. Given the media's role in shaping public opinion, it is important to examine how these schools are represented in both Canadian and Chinese media. Using critical discourse analysis, we examined news coverage published about Canadian offshore schools from 2008 to 2026 in both countries, and in both Chinese and English languages. Dr…

  • Excerpts from a Conversation with Noam Chomsky

    Ian Alexander, Ian J Alexander et al.ARTICLEBulletin for the Study of Religion2023

    While discursive approaches and social theory enjoy some notoriety in the academic study of religion, the so-called critical turn is no stranger to challenges. Some reject it as philosophically apolitical; others, as ignorant of biological and psychological insights. In this edition of The Interview, we turn to an exchange with MIT Professor Emeritus Noam Chomsky, whose work has informed how many scholars of religion approach the sciences and cul…

    Tim Anderson, Gillian N Saunders-Smits et al.ARTICLEHigher Education Research &…2022

    The doctorate and doctoral writing remain popular areas of inquiry and discussion, and yet very little research has empirically investigated the trends in dissertation types and how these trends might indicate broader changes in dissertation writing practices. This article builds on our recent work that investigated the macrostructures and research designs of 1,373 education-based PhD dissertations from five major Canadian research universities. …

  • Cinco Contemporâneas Anglófonas De Carolina Maria De Jesus

    Open AccessIan Alexander, Ian J AlexanderARTICLEOrganon2022

    Roberta Flores Pedroso descreve Carolina Maria de Jesus (1914-1977), autora de Quarto de despejo (1960), como “mulher negra, pobre, semialfabetizada e migrante” que “se tornou um fenômeno editorial”. Na tentativa de estabelecer um contexto anglófono para a leitura comparativa de Quarto de despejo, este artigo apresenta cinco autoras negras, anglófonas, de países periféricos, nascidas entre 1904 e 1924, e analisa de quais maneiras os termos pobre,…

    This paper examines the strength of Western Australia's claim to be ‘the resource state’. It traces the history of the state's mineral development and points to close links between the development, the growth of the economy and the spread of settlement. The crucial role of the state government in facilitating capital investment and fostering a growth ideology is also highlighted. The paper argues that while resource development and capital invest…
