Can Colour-Blind Communication be Culturally Responsive? Input on Sexual Violence Policies and Services from Culturally Matched Student Focus Groups
Exploring the Relationship Between Student Success and Participation in Extracurricular Activities
In our research on university students from historically under-represented backgrounds who successfully graduate from their undergraduate degree program or are in their final year, we found that many who participated in out-of-class activities indicated those activities were important to their success. We take a strengths-based approach to focus on: (1) students who have reached their final year of study or have recently completed their undergrad…
What participatory photography can tell us about immigrant and refugee women’s learning in Atlantic Canada
Migration is a gendered phenomenon, embedded within patriarchal structures and social relations that extend beyond State borders. We draw on a transnational feminist framework to explore the gendered dimensions of young refugee and immigrant women’s migration and learning experiences. Ten women were involved in a participatory photography research project over a period of two years in which they took and shared photographs, and engaged in storyte…

This article provides an account of how the LG was modified for a study that examined personal critical reflection papers written by 27 fourth-year dietetics university students after they participated in an arts-informed module on body image in a dietetics professional practice course. By relying on the main principles of the LG, we demonstrat…

Preparing North American Preservice Teachers for Global Perspectives
Given the economic, political, and social conditions in the world today and the increased diversity in Canadian classrooms, schools require teachers who have a strong sense of self-awareness and understanding of global issues.

We draw on the theories of Africentricit…

Growing Health(y) Workers
Policymakers have promoted high-school work-experience programs as one way of addressing areas of labour shortage. For example, the Ministry of Health and Wellness in Alberta funds an internship program designed to encourage high-school students to consider careers in health care. This paper shifts from the "supply-side" focus that is inherent in policy to address questions that warrant greater attention by educators and other partners involved i…
