Growing Up with America
Enter your watchwoman”
As a feminist medium, Alanis Morissette’s music provides her fans with both a feminist perspective and lessons for living. As a young adult, she used music to uncover and resist the numerous challenges she faced as a female in a patriarchal business and sexist society. She continues to make the experiences and needs of young people a focus of her songs. Overall, Morrisette writes as a voice for many generations of youth, a popular voice that cont…

“She Wished Someone Would Help Them”
Girls and Rape Culture
In 1983, Andrea Dworkin addressed the Midwest Men’s Conference in Minneapolis. She discussed the rape culture in which we live, noted the similarities between rape and war, and, following the title of her talk, asked for a “24-hour truce in which there is no rape.” And she asked why men and boys are so slow to understand that women and girls “are human to precisely the degree and quality that [they] are” (n.p.). Every sexual assault begins with t…
Talking Back to History in Indigenous Picturebooks
This article examines how Indigenous picturebook authors counter Canada's history of child removal. Drawing on Daniel Justice's mandate to read Indigenous writing as political, intellectual, artistic, and geographic self-determination, it analyses the ways in which these books critique the imperial practices of child relocation through the stages of the residential school experience, and the ways in which they work to educate all readers and coun…
Are You Preparing for Another War?”
Drawing from the body of just war theory, this article analyzes Suzanne Collins’s discussion of warfare in the Hunger Games trilogy, tracing the ways in which decisions about war unfold along the lines of the love triangle plot involving Peeta and Gale. Although there are important issues about social injustices driving the trilogy, a fair amount of scholarship has focused on romance in the novel. The more interesting tension in the narrative is …
Like Alice, I was Brave’
In the genre of residential school narratives for children, stands out for the determination, courage, and resilience of its narrator, a young girl who chooses to go to a Catholic boarding school, and then draws on both her culture and a British novel, Alice in Wonderland, about a brave girl for strength and resilience. This article traces Olemaun’s journey as she follows Alice into literacy but finds her own methods of resisting colonial oppress…
Living in your American skin”
Springsteen's songs have a stake in our shared world. They also have the depth and the density of the best lyric poetry, and the narrative force and immediacy of the most enduring ballads. This essay reads Bruce Springsteen's lyrics as literature and as political narratives. Drawing on Rancière, Isin, and other political theorists, I examine Springsteen's politics and the ways of being political he has exemplified for more than thirty years
Better Friends”
This essay examines several of the animal narratives that Margaret Marshall Saunders (1861–1947) wrote for children. From her first book, Beautiful Joe, a Dog’s Own Story, the first Canadian book to sell more than a million copies, to the end of her long career, Saunders developed a trenchant set of pedagogies and rhetorical strategies in support of humane education. Even as she negotiated her own culturally endorsed tendencies to see the animal …
Making of Our Lives a Study
This article examines the relationship between feminist theologies and women’s poetry and fiction. Using Sheila Hassell Hughes’ work on this same relationship as a point of departure, I contend that feminist theologians rely on literature by women for a variety of reasons, and I focus on how literature by women offers feminist theologies a multitude of examples of women’s experience, embodied experience in particular. If women’s experience is the…
Contributions of Social Epidemiology to the Study of Medical Care Systems
The Euratom Commission agreed to the construction of a specific experimental reactor, ESSOR, for the study of the technological problems which still exist for reactors of the ORGEL type. The ESSOR installation is being built in the Ispra common research center. Reactors of the ORGEL type are heavy water reactors with good neutron economy whose cooling is accomplished by a low melting point mixture of terphenylene. This mixture, under the influenc…
