"Remember, love knows no boundaries and comes in many forms"
Using the fandoms of Harry Potter, Supernatural (2005–2020), and Our Flag Means Death (2022–2023), we interrogate the sociotechnical system that underpins generative AI and potential biases toward queerness embedded in them. Given its historical ties to addressing cultural inequities, especially around queerness, fan fiction offers a critical space to examine the sociotechnical underpinnings of generative AI in producing fiction and as an extensi…
Reframing Ecotage as Ecoterrorism
This study examined how national newspapers have participated in the production and reproduction of the discourse on ecotage through a lens of terrorism. The approach used in this study is to apply the thesis of Altheide (2003) that mass media uses the discourse of fear to report on acts of terrorism. Through a content analysis of six national newspapers, this study sought to answer two questions: Do national newspapers frame ecotage acts primari…
Reframing Garbage
A series of powerful focusing events established solid waste as a national problem in Canada and a provincial and local problem in Nova Scotia. The traditional approach, expanding and improving disposal options, was rejected at the provincial and local levels.

Yet, although the problem of hazardous waste and its resultant contamination has long been known, no one took it seriously until about 1978. An interesting question is, Why did the public and media ignore hazardous waste for so long, particularly during a…
