Home and Its Refusals: Tensions of Flesh and Place in the Racialized and Diasporic Subject
This article explores the phenomenon of alienation as it figures in the often-coinciding experiences of racialisation and diaspora. Working through the sites of body and home, this article draws out some of the tensions that inhere in the racialized and diasporic condition. Part 1 examines racialized alienation through the concept of bodily confiscation, and considers what it is to have one’s body taken away through the processes of racism. The a…
Advancing a case for critical realism in forensic mental health scholarship and practice with youth convicted of sexual offences
Purpose Critical realism presents a philosophical and paradigm shift in forensic mental health scholarship and practice with youth convicted of sexual offences, which addresses current deficits in the risk management approach. Through universalism and essentialism, the dominant risk management approach classifies diverse youth by criminal behaviour and risk through predictive algorithms with a failure to account for history and oppression. In con…
Perceived Discrimination and Sense of Community Belonging among Canadian Young Adults: A Population-Based Study
This research examines the relationship between perceived discrimination and community belonging among Canadian young adults (15-34) with diverse backgrounds. Utilizing data from the 2020 General Social Survey - Cycle 35: Social Identity, we analyze a subset of 6,326 participants using binary logistic regression. Our findings confirm the significant negative association between perceived discrimination and community belonging and shed light on va…
Her Mother's Tongue: Bilingual Dwelling, Being In-Between, and the Intergenerational Co-creation of Language-Worlds
This article takes up the idea of language as a home and dwelling, and reconsiders what this might mean in the context of diasporic bilingualism, where as a "heritage speaker" of a minority language, the "mother tongue" may be experienced as both deeply familiar yet also alien or alienating. Drawing on a range of philosophical and literary accounts (Cassin, Arendt, Anzaldúa, Vuong, among others), this article explores how the so-called "mother to…
A Qualitative Investigation of the Factors that Enhance, Impede, and Require Attention for the School Success and Engagement of At-Risk Newcomer Students
Little is known about best practices to support newcomer students with a history of emotional, behavioral, or learning challenges in their pursuit of school success and engagement. The Enhanced Critical Incident Technique was employed to explore the helping, hindering, and desired practices among nine teachers who have successfully supported at-risk newcomer youth in their educational pursuits in Canada. Results revealed 64 helping and 43 hinderi…
Critical phenomenology and the banality of white supremacy
Critical phenomenology is a rapidly flourishing field of research within philosophical phenomenology. This article undertakes a genealogy of the critical philosophical enterprise, drawing out its key commitments, motivations, tensions, and productive potential. In the second half of this article, I explore the promise of critical phenomenology, by examining how a critical phenomenological approach to questions of racism and racialised embodiment …
Critical Philosophy of Race: An Introduction
This special section brings together scholars working in Critical Philosophy of Race to explore questions of racism, coloniality, and migration, and in doing so, offers a glimpse into some of the s
Get Over It'? Racialised Temporalities and Bodily Orientations in Time
In this paper I examine the temporal dimensions of racialised and colonised embodiment. I draw on the work of Alia Al-Saji, whose phenomenological reading of Frantz Fanon examines the multiple ways in which racism and colonialism affix the racialised and colonised body to that of the past; a temporalisation that serves not only to anachronise these bodies, but also to close off their projective possibilities for being or becoming otherwise. Such …

Simulating the Lived Experience of Racism and Islamophobia: On 'Embodied Empathy' and Political Tourism
This paper considers a certain genre of anti-racist solidarity — what I call simulations of lived experience – in order to critically examine the premises and pitfalls of such efforts. Two primary examples are examined: (1) a 2014 smartphone app called Everyday Racism, where users are invited to ‘play’ a racialised character for a week in order to ‘better understand’ the experience of racism; and (2) various iterations of ‘Hijab Day’, where non-M…
Racist habits: A phenomenological analysis of racism and the habitual body
This article examines how the phenomenological concept of habit can be productively deployed in the analysis of racism, in order to propose a reframing of the problem. Racism does not unfold primarily in the register of conscious thought or action, I argue, but more intimately and insidiously in the register of bodily habit. This claim, however, relies on a reading of habit as bodily orientation – or habituation – as developed by Merleau-Ponty in…

This article takes up the idea of language as a home and dwelling, and reconsiders what this might mean in the context of diasporic bilingualism, where as a "heritage speaker" of a minority language, the "mother tongue" may be experienced as both deeply familiar yet also alien or alienating. Drawing on a range of philosophical and literary accounts (Cassin, Arendt, Anzaldúa, Vuong, among others), this article explores how the so-called "mother to…
