The Equity Myth
The university is often regarded as a bastion of liberal democracy where equity and diversity are promoted and racism doesn’t exist. In reality, the university still excludes many people and is a site of racialization that is subtle, complex, and sophisticated. While some studies do point to the persistence of systemic barriers to equity in higher education, in-depth analyses of racism, racialization, and Indigeneity in the academy are more notab…

Gathering accurate data on representation of racialized and Indigenous faculty is compounded by the lack of reliable, detailed data. The paper attempts to redress the lack of data, based on a methodology of facial and name recognition in a small sample of Canadian universities. Photos and names of racialized faculty on departmental websites at selected universities in three faculties: engineering, management/business, and social sciences were exa…
Interviews with Racialized Faculty Members in Canadian Universities
This paper is based on 89 interviews conducted with racialized faculty at ten Canadian universities as part of the larger study of racialization at the university.

Indigenous Faculty at Canadian Universities
This paper is based on twenty-three interviews conducted with Indigenous faculty at ten universities in Canada. Only .9% of total university faculty are Indigenous. While Indigenous faculty shared some concerns with racialized faculty such as under-representation, the lack of diversity among senior administration, and the policies around tenure and promotion decisions, most of their apprehensions were unique to their Indigenous heritage and cultu…
Contributions and Challenges of Addressing Discursive Racism in the Canadian Media
Over the last three decades, our research has largely focused on the social systems that contribute to and reinforce racism in Canadian society.

Media discourse plays a large role in reproducing the collective belief system of the dominant White society and the core val…

Canada's Contribution to the "Management" of Ethno-Cultural Diversity
It is often believed that Canada is able to "manage" its diverse society to the extent that it is cited as a model for other countries to follow. The main reason for this perception is that Canada is one of the very few countries to have legislated multiculturalism. Diversity and multiculturalism have, however, become sharply contested issues in Canadian society today as many people perceive them to be a threat to their traditional way of life. M…

In recent years there has been a steady increase in attention paid by anthropologists to themselves and their field relationships as significant factors in the selection of research problems, the collection of data, and the interpretation of it.
