Nog-da-win-da-min
The history of the relationship between child welfare agencies in Canada and First Nations has been fraught with pain, and the removal of children from their families and communities is often described as an attempted cultural genocide. The realities of colonization, residential schools, and the “60s scoop” have created a legacy of pain and distrust which can be difficult for today’s Native child welfare services to address.

Indigenizing and Decolonizing the Teaching of Psychology
Canada's 2015 Truth and Reconciliation Commission published 94 Calls to Action including direction to post‐secondary institutions “to integrate Indigenous knowledge and teaching methods into classrooms” as well as to “build student capacity for intercultural understanding, empathy, and mutual respect.” In response, Canadian universities have rushed to “Indigenize” and are now competing to hire Indigenous faculty, from a limited pool of applicants…
China's Confucius Institutes and the 'Necessary White Body
Confucius Institutes (CIs), modelled on similar European organizations, promote China's official national language and culture abroad. Unlike their European counterparts, however, the interactions between CIs and Canadian audiences are haunted by complex histories of a racialized 'Oriental Other' in Canada and 'Western Other' in China. Through ethnographic research on the Confucius Institute in Edmonton and the CI Headquarters in Beijing, this pa…

The article concludes with policy recommendations to improve the impact of work-based subsidies on poverty among low-income men. S…
Gendered political socialization in four contexts
This article examines whether gender influences the level of political interest, the perception of politics as a male sphere, and the belief in the importance of political participation. By looking at junior high students in four countries, we explore whether culture or level of economic development produce gendered patterns of political socialization. We conclude that girls valued participation in politics at least as much as boys, but that the …
