Learning to stay or learning to go? Lived citizenship learning and young adults’ mobility decisions in a peripheral region
This article examines how young adults’ geographic mobility decisions function as processes of lived citizenship learning in Atlantic Canada, a peripherally economic region with long histories of youth outmigration and demographic change. Drawing on survey data and qualitative interviews with domestic and international students in Nova Scotia, Canada, the analysis explores how caregiving obligations, peer networks, immigration uncertainty, and ex…

It's a reward for good performance: Exploring the role of employer-employee relationships in Canada's two-step economic immigration system
This article is based on personal narrative-style interviews with various stakeholders connected to Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Programme and delves into the significant role employers play in the two-step immigration system and to the rise of Canada’s Provincial Nominee Programme. The research draws from interviews with employers, settlement workers, union representatives, and government officials, shedding light on the transition from a h…
Levelling up: Towards decolonising apprenticeship learning
With a focus on the Western-Canadian province of Manitoba, this article aims to develop a conceptual and empirical exploration of how apprenticeship learning can be transformed to meet the needs of Indigenous apprentices. Conceptually, the article layers an articulation of decolonising education onto apprenticeship learning in such a way as to explicitly support apprentices’ prior knowledge and recognise the socio-political context within which a…
When my home is your business’: Transforming stories of housing in a post-industrial city
This article examines how performance-oriented arts practice with members of socially marginalised communities can be harnessed as a mode of grassroots civic participation, one that can transgress the expected norms of public communication that render some stories and speakers legitimate, and some not. The article will offer an analysis of a community-based theatre project that took place with a small group of high-rise tenants living in the mid-…

‘Escaping’ managed labour migration: Worker exit as precarious migrant agency
This article narrows in on the mundane yet extraordinary events surrounding migrant farm workers’ decisions to leave their state-approved employment and to seek a better life in Canada outside of state-managed circulatory labour migration. In so doing, this research contributes to conceptualisations of precarity, and of precarious status in particular, that are beginning to recognise its effects not only on workers’ economic survival, but also th…
Frenzied synchronicities: Reworking the rhythms of temporary labour migration
This article examines low-wage migrant workers' experiences of secondary internal mobility within Canada during the period between 2011–2016 during which the federal government imposed an immigration rule whereby migrant workers were forced to leave the country after four years of continuous residence. Introducing the concept of reworking rhythms, the article examines how a landscape of uneven and complicated immigration policies produced an envi…
The Negotiation of New Family Formation Post‐migration among Low‐wage Migrant Workers: The Case of Canada
This article examines how post‐migration relationships are critical to shaping long‐term migration and employment aspirations among migrant workers. The article offers an analysis of low‐wage migrant workers' experiences of establishing new families after migration within Canada's state‐managed foreign labour migration regime. While the relational dynamics of migrant labour are well documented, scholarship in this area tends to focus on the affec…
Precarious work, harassment, and the erosion of employment standards

Design/methodology/approach A narrative inquiry approach to data collection and analysis was adopted. The paper draws from 72 interviews conducted with workers in precarious jobs from various industries in three cities in the Canadian province of Ontario, as well as 52 em…

Play-making with migrant farm workers in Ontario, Canada: A Kinesthetic and Embodied Approach to Qualitative Research
This article is a reflection on the use of theatre creation in qualitative research with migrant farm workers in Ontario, Canada. In this article I examine how the fundamentally embodied and kinesthetic dimensions of seasonal agricultural workers' lives in Canada highlight the need to seek out and develop corresponding embodied approaches that are able to access and accurately represent the fraught and dynamic nature of workers' experiences. I br…

Methodological K/nots: Designing Research on the Enforcement of Labor Standards
This article traces methodological discussions of a multidisciplinary team of researchers located in universities and community settings in Ontario. The group designed and conducted a research project on the enforcement of labor standards in Ontario, Canada. Discussions of methodological possibilities often began with “nots”—that is, consensus on methodological approaches that the team collectively rejected. Out of these discussions emerged sugge…
A silent revolution: ‘Image Theatre’ as a system of decolonisation
This article summarises the ways in which Image Theatre, a practice originally developed by Augusto Boal which continues to be developed in the hands of applied theatre practitioners and critical arts educators worldwide, can be used as a pedagogical and dramaturgical system of decolonisation at the level of communities and individuals. Through reference to two examples from my own work, I argue in this article that Image Theatre is a unique cult…

Barely legal: Racism and migrant farm labour in the context of Canadian multiculturalism
This article investigates how colonial attitudes towards race operate alongside official multiculturalism in Canada to justify the legally exceptional exclusion of migrant farm workers from Canada's socio-political framework. The Canadian Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program is presented in this article as a relic of Canada's racist and colonial past, one that continues uninterrupted in the present age of statist multiculturalism. The legal cont…

Contemporary Society: An Introduction to Social Science
This best-selling text emphasizes why social and cultural changes are the pervasive realities of our time. A key theme of Contemporary Society is that the transition from an industrial to a post-industrial order in today’s world is fraught with difficulties, as was the transition from an agricultural to an industrial order in an earlier era. Within this framework, we can observe the increasing fragmentation of the social order today, which tends …

Movements of the Earth's Crust: Discussion
Phoneme and supralect
Ever since the appearance of the monograph On Defining the Phoneme (Twaddell, 1935), it has become customary to classify the views of the phoneme into the four categories: mentalistic, physical, functional, and abstract. The reader is also referred to Jones (1957, and 1967: 212 ff.) and Fudge (1970) for discussions on that basis. However, we can achieve additional insight into the problem of defining the phoneme if we classify the views of the ph…
