Alone, Lost, and Unprepared by the System: Indigenous Care Leavers’ Experiences of Aging Out of Child Welfare Care in Manitoba
Limited research has been carried out on Indigenous young people transitioning out of care in Canada. This article provides a coherent and meaningful account of the journey of aging out of care in the province of Manitoba, as presented by 17 Indigenous care leavers. Using a qualitative multilevel approach grounded in first-person narratives, this study focused on incorporating and elevating the voices of Indigenous care leavers. Participants deta…

Fixing” the Journalist-Fixer Relationship: A Critical Look Towards Developing Best Practices in Global Reporting
Sociologists and media scholars have offered a robust body of literature regarding the daily workings of global journalism – both in newsrooms and with freelancers. Within this literature, which is both critical and reflexive, the role of fixers is acknowledged, but rarely questioned. Such work often fails to critically examine power dynamics inherent in the actual institutional and global arrangement. This project aims to fill this gap, focusing…
Follow the money: International donors, external homelands and their effect on Romani media and advocacy
While Roma are both Europe's largest minority, there is no "homeland" state that claims to guard their interest. The lack of "an external national homeland" [Brubaker, R. 1996. Nationalism Reframed: Nationhood and the National Question in the New Europe. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press] to watchdog and safeguard their rights has a particular effect on how Roma engage as political actors and subjects. International donors/foundations have as…
Media mirrors? Framing Hungarian Romani migration to Canada in Hungarian and Canadian press
The most recent migration of Roma from Central-Eastern Europe to Canada started in the 1990s. Several thousand people from former socialist countries, including Hungarian Roma, moved overseas. There were many reasons but for Roma, the motivations not only included a drastic loss of employment, but re-emerging systemic and increasingly violent racism. This article focuses on the discursive framing of these motivations and the reaction within both …
Reshaping the Borders of Journalism: Lessons learned from transnational peoples’ journalism
The Saami and the Roma are both transnational peoples with robust journalistic practices. Although vastly different in socio-economic standing and relationship to the state, both groups choose to develop journalism and journalists to share their perspective of the world; and do so while remaining true to the distinction between journalism and propaganda. This requires access and ability to frame issues and actors, problems and solutions while mai…
Nation-building, not “Resistance Radio: Self Determination, the State, & Saami Media
Saami media are an important, if not invaluable, part of Saami society recognized as both a right and a service to the Saami people. In fact, the role of media and media outlets has often been referenced as a manifestation of self determination. However, whereas other Indigenous and ethnic minority media often seek clear financial independence from the state, my research shows that the Saami have a more nuanced and complicated approach. Based pri…
Cooperation is the story’ – best practices of transnational indigenous activism in the North
Although separated by thousands of kilometres and possessing of distinct cultures, the terrain and climate, along with a similar history of colonialism and oppression, enable the Saami and Inuit to create a similar strategy of advocacy – cooperation without cooptation. This article outlines the strategic steps taken to cultivate this strategy by outlining the creation and exercise of formal institutions, such as the Inuit Circumpolar Council and …
Expelling the Victim by Demanding Voice: The Counterframing of Transnational Romani Activism
This article traces how Roma are crafting and changing their representation in the media and thus discursively moving from passive victims to active subjects by engaging in strategic framing and advocacy. I focus on public discussions of the French expulsion of Roma in the summer of 2010. The nature of the coverage and the engagement of Romani voices mark a shift away from the traditional trope of Roma as criminal, victim, or absent. This is part…
