Antiracism in appreciative inquiry: Generative tensions and collective reflexivity
Appreciative inquiry is an action research methodology focused on revealing an organization’s positive core. As a cross-racial team of antiracist researchers, we were drawn to appreciative inquiry due to its congruences with community-based research perspectives on power-sharing and co-constructing knowledge. Our collaborative reflexivity brought us to question whether Appreciative inquiry’s hyper-focus on positivity would fit our antiracist rese…
Antiracist Interventive Interviewing: Subverting Colonial Interventions with Public Sector Workers
What does it mean to intervene in antiracist interviews with public sector workers? What do interventions look like in research seeking to name complicity in settler colonial violence and imagine otherwise relationships between non-Indigenous and Indigenous people? How might we methodologically define interventions and their pedagogical purpose(s)? In this paper, we share our experience of adopting a dual-pedagogical antiracist interventive resea…
Settler Colonial Socialization in Public Sector Work: Moving from Privilege to Complicity
In this piece, we ask, what are the risks of a pedagogy and politics that begins and ends with privilege? What does it mean to declare privilege when embedded in institutions of the settler colonial state? These questions are raised through an ongoing project where we interview provincial public sector workers on Treaty 6, 7 and 8 (Alberta, Canada) and Coast Salish Territories (British Columbia, Canada) about their implications in settler colonia…
Learning to become white girls in a settler colonial context: Exploring the racial socialization of white Euro-Canadian women
This piece particularizes the subjectivities and experiences of white Euro-Canadian women to understand how they become implicated in relationships and systems of power that sustain the settler colonial state. This examination is driven by assertions from settler colonial scholars to explore the ‘everydayness' of settler colonialism, efforts by critical whiteness scholars to spatially locate whiteness, and by long-time calls from critical race fe…

Some Remarks on the Structure of Greek Vowel Systems
Some Phonological Characteristics of Rājasthānī
Rājasthānī in its historical aspect has been admirably served by Western scholarship-most notably by the work of Tessitori on Old Western Rājasthānī (OWR), and of Sir Ralph Turner on Gujarātī phonology (since OWR 'represents the stage of comparative linguistic unity of Gujarātī and Rājasthānī'). Last year saw the unveiling in Bikaner of a memorial to Luigi Pio Tessitori; this year sees the seventieth anniversary of his birth, and the publication …

Retroflexion in Sanskrit: Prosodic Technique and its Relevance to Comparative Statement
In an earlier article it was suggested that the allotment of certain phonic data of Sanskrit to prosodic categories would make it possible to eliminate the antiquated and improper process-metaphor of ' assimilation ' by stating such data as exponents of properties of appropriate structures. It was not then intended to go beyond a purely descriptive statement; but it has since appeared that a fuller exploitation of prosodic techniques may result i…
Some Prosodic Aspects of Retroflexion and Aspiration in Sanskrit
Under the traditional titles of Assimilation and Dissimilation, we are presented with two linguistic phenomena apparently involving a principle similar to that which is known in physical science as " action at a distance "--regularly in the latter case, occasionally in the former (under special titles, such as "dilation", "Fernassimilation"). The classical example of this type of assimilation is provided by the Sanskrit "cerebralization" (nati) o…
Ancient Ideas on the Origin and Development of Language
Supplementary Note on the Name of the Black Sea
Since my article in C.Q. xli, pp. 86 ff., a further discussion of the problem has come to my notice. H. Jacobsohn, in an article entitled Σκνθικ⋯ in Zeitschr. f. vergleichende Sprachforschung , liv, pp. 254 ff., anticipates my point that the Greek ᾊξε(ι)νƿς is borrowed not from Avestan but from some other Iranian language, probably Scythian. He also makes outan attractive case, based on the word παφ⋯δεισ¿ς, for considering the Iranian pronunciati…
The Name of the Black Sea in Greek
In an article on ‘The Name of the Euxine Pontus’ in C.Q .xxxiv (1940), pp. 123 ff., A. C. Moorhouse rejects the suggestion made by M. Vasmer and supported by Boisacq that the original Greek title ἃξε(ι)νος was a popular rendering of the Avestan adjective αχṦαệνα, ‘of dark colour’. Moorhouse raises the following objections to this theory: i. There is no direct evidence of the Avestan adjective ever being applied to the Black Sea. ii. In historical…
Street Railway Franchises in Massachusetts
Although Massachusetts was not the first state in which rail- ways for the transportation of passengers were laid in the streets, yet it was among the earliest, and the great development in recent years, which has taken place, not alone along physical lines but also upon legal and economic lines, has made the conditions in that state of especial interest.The first street railway was opened in New York in 1852, and in the following year the legisl…
