Autoethnography on Exchange
No full textThis podcast is an interview between Outstanding Scholar Student Laila Albalkhi and Outstanding Scholar Coordinator Tim Brunet. Learn about the practice of auto ethnography and why Outstanding Scholars will have an opportunity to do research while on exchange.
Laila Albalkhi, Deborah Laze, and Samantha Blackwell have begun constructing autoethnography exercises and resources. No autoethnographies will begin until it received Research Ethics Board clearance.
Abstract: This paper provides both pedagogical exercises and an autoethnography methodology for university students on exchange. This project was developed with the Coordinator of the Outstanding Scholars program and three Outstanding Scholar Students at the University of Windsor. The Outstanding Scholars program is an elite academic program for high-achieving and community-engaged students who complete six paid research placements during their undergraduate studies. Students in the program can complete an international exchange and use this autoethnography framework for paid placementsduring their exchange. This paper introduces the practice of autoethnography, proposes research activities, provides standard operating procedures, publishes pedagogical exercises, declares research methodology, provides the project\u27s scope, lists limitations, and suggests generative opportunities for further development. This autoethnography initiative is part of a larger pedagogical framework informed by the Capability Approach and the University of Windsor’s UWill Discover Sustainable Futures project. This paper offers vetted research activities where students think critically about their interpersonal communications before, during and after their exchange. Students can complete the assignment as a pedagogical exercise, publish their work in an agreed upon journal, or develop new exercises for the project. The paper includes sample exercises for students
Race, Place, and Religion: African American Missionaries in the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries
No full textThis paper attempts to provide a more complete analysis of the various conceptions of race and identity held by African American missionaries working in Africa during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. While some attention has been paid to African American missionaries working in Africa at this time, little has been written about how their different theological beliefs impacted their conceptions of race and identity as it relates to the local African populations they encountered. It can be determined that there were distinct links between the different theological beliefs held by African American missionaries working in Africa at this time and their conceptions of race. For example, evangelical African American missionaries more often associated themselves with a Pan-African identity than non-evangelical ones. Alongside this, their theological understandings of the Back-to-Africa Movement were quite different depending on where they worked in Africa and it impacted how they viewed themselves in association with the local African populations they encountered. Finally, different conceptions of race and identity manifested themselves along eschatological lines. Although these missionaries’ conceptions of race have already been analyzed, the connection to their theological beliefs and how it influenced their conceptions of race is relatively unexplored
No-Fault, Motor Vehicle Accidents, and The Civil Resolution Tribunal: Effective Justice or False Prophet?
No full textSince May 2021, instead of using tort litigation and lawyers to determine a lump-sum amount for what a person should be compensated for after being injured in a car crash, the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia [ICBC] has shifted to a new No-Fault system that provides statutorily defined entitlement to care, recovery and income replacement benefits. Disputes over those benefits are now under the jurisdiction of the rapidly growing Civil Resolution Tribunal [CRT], an online tribunal lauded for its contribution to access to justice (A2J) as a negotiation and adjudication platform for use without lawyers for smaller and simpler civil matters. This article asks whether the combined shift to No-Fault and CRT jurisdiction effectively meets the access to justice needs of those injured in motor vehicle accidents. After surveying the institutional changes to the A2J landscape for those injured in MVAs, narratives surrounding the changes, and conducting a quantitative outcome of analysis of CRT decisions between individual claimants and ICBC where ICBC was found to be successful before the CRT in 73% of cases, this article concludes that ICBC’s new No-Fault system creates A2J concerns and significant bargaining inequalities for those injured in MVAs that are not overcome by recourse to the CRT. More broadly, this article illustrates the complexities of A2J as a relational and multi-faceted phenomenon in an era where one-dimensional metrics of cost-savings, speed, and efficiency are frequently promoted as novel A2J cures.En mai 2021, la société de l’assurance automobile de la Colombie-Britannique a fait la transition vers un régime de responsabilité sans égard à la faute pour fixer le montant forfaitaire de la compensation à verser aux blessés d’un accident de la route, plutôt que de passer par des litiges délictuels et des avocats. Ce régime établit les droits aux soins prévus par la loi, ainsi que les prestations de rétablissement et de remplacement du revenu. Les litiges relatifs à ces types de prestations sont maintenant du ressort du tribunal de règlement des différends civils (« Civil Resolution Tribunal » ou « CRT »), un tribunal en ligne en plein essor qui a été encensé, sur le plan de l’accès à la justice, en tant que plateforme de négociation et de règlement des différends plus simples et de moindre importance qui ne requièrent pas l’intervention d’avocats. Le présent article examine si l’effet combiné de la transition vers un régime de responsabilité sans égard à la faute et du transfert de la compétence au CRT satisfait efficacement aux besoins en matière d’accès à la justice des accidentés de la route. Après un examen des changements institutionnels dans l’accès à la justice pour les accidentés de la route et des explications liées à ces changements, ainsi qu’un examen quantitatif des résultats de l’analyse sur les décisions du CRT entre les demandeurs et la société de l’assurance automobile, le présent article conclut que le nouveau régime de responsabilité sans égard à la faute crée des problèmes au titre de l’accès à la justice et des inégalités importantes sur le plan de la négociation, au détriment des accidentés de la route, problèmes et inégalités qui ne sont pas résolus par le recours au CRT. De façon plus générale, l’article illustre la complexité de l’accès à la justice, un phénomène relationnel et multifacette dans une époque où des valeurs unidimensionnelles comme l’économie de coûts, la brièveté des délais et l’efficience sont souvent mises de l’avant comme des solutions toutes désignées en matière d’accès à la justice
The Charter of Whites: Systemic Racism and Critical Race Equality in Canada
No full textThis article outlines the concept of “critical race equality” in Canadian constitutional law and critiques the Supreme Court of Canada’s jurisprudential silence on systemic racism under section 15 of the Charter. First, the article discusses the theory of critical race equality. It describes six principles that animate a critical race perspective, which understands equality as ambitious, contextual, ideological, comparative, systemic, and positive. Second, the article discusses the practice of critical race equality. It traces a genealogy from the Supreme Court’s first equality decision (Andrews) to its latest (Fraser), both of which reflect the principles of critical race equality. This genealogy demonstrates that critical race equality has been consistently affirmed by the Supreme Court, yet has never been applied by the Court to ubiquitous systemic inequality confronting Black and Indigenous communities in Canada. This article concludes that systemic racial justice advocacy under section 15 of the Charter is doctrinally viable. Consequently, it calls upon a coalition of scholars, lawyers, and organizers to recognize that viability as one of many tools for challenging unconstitutional state neglect and advancing systemic racial justice.
L’auteur de cet article présente la notion d’« égalité raciale primordiale » (« critical race equality ») en droit constitutionnel canadien. Il reproche à la Cour suprême du Canada son silence quant au racisme systémique porté par le régime de l’article 15 de la Charte. En premier lieu, il expose le modèle théorique de l’égalité raciale primordiale. Il décrit ainsi les six principes qui sous-tendent une perspective critique conduisant à voir l’égalité raciale sous sa forme élargie, contextuelle, idéologique, comparative, systémique et positive. En deuxième lieu, l’auteur discute de la mise en pratique de l’égalité raciale primordiale. Il retrace les arrêts de la Cour suprême qui portent sur l’égalité. Les arrêts Andrews et Fraser reflètent tous deux les principes de l’égalité raciale primordiale. Il ressort du portrait qu’il dépeint que la Cour suprême a toujours reconnu l’égalité raciale primordiale, mais qu’elle ne l’a jamais mise en application dans le contexte de l’inégalité systémique généralisée à laquelle se heurtent les collectivités noires et autochtones du Canada. L’auteur conclut que la défense de la justice raciale systémique fondée sur l’article 15 de la Charte est viable sur le plan doctrinal. Il invite donc universitaires, avocats et organisateurs à faire front commun pour que cette viabilité trouve sa place dans la trousse à outils de la promotion de la justice raciale systémique et de la lutte contre la négligence inconstitutionnelle de l’État
Countering Stereotypes and Enabling Resilience: Ethiopian Male Perspective on their Educational Experiences in Canada.
No full textThis article examines how stereotypes of Black males and Black masculinity operate in the construction of the Black male of African descent in the Canadian educational context. Specifically, the study discussed here examined how this archetypal frame informed the lived experience of second-generation Ethiopian males in relation to race, academic performance, ambition to achieve their desired goals, and integration into Canadian society. From qualitative interviews conducted with 11 second-generation Ethiopian males, the study found that stereotypes of African cultural identity and its cumulative effects in their developmental years, along with culturally specific protective factors by way of family, nurturing relationships, and robust social support systems equipped them with the ability to nurture their potential and build on their abilities and skills, to enable them to realize their ambitions. The findings have implications for how social workers/counsellors in educational or clinical contexts can better advocate for a more expansive curriculum and support Black male students of African descent in their pursuit of educational success to enable a healthier pathway to integration
Jay Justin Clarke and the Ennis, Texas Ballpark
No full textJay Justin Clarke is known for hitting eight home runs for his team, the Corsicana Oil Citys, in a 51-3 win in a 1902 Texas league (Class D) game. Previous researchers into the game expressed frustration at the lack of information about the ballpark, aside from a short right field fence that contributed to the home run total. New research has found details about the ballpark to provide a more complete story of the game. In addition to the ballpark details, this paper recaps Jay’s career and related stories about the game including why the game was moved from Corsicana and why the losing pitcher threw a complete game.Jay Justin Clarke est connu pour avoir frappé huit coups de circuit pour son équipe, les CorsicanaOil Citys, lors d’une victoire 51-3 dans un match de la ligue du Texas (classe D) en 1902. Les chercheurs qui sesont penchés sur ce match ont exprimé leur frustration face au manque d’informations sur le stade, à l’exceptiond’une clôture rapprochée au champ droit qui a contribué au nombre total de circuits. De nouvelles recherchesont permis de trouver des détails sur le terrain afin de fournir une histoire plus complète de ce match. En plusdes détails sur le stade, cet article récapitule la carrière de Jay et les histoires liées au match, y compris la raisonpour laquelle le match a été déplacé de Corsicana et la raison pour laquelle le lanceur perdant a lancé un matchcomplet
Les modes de prévention et de règlement des différends [PRD] : une forme de participation citoyenne?
No full textAppropriate Dispute Resolution [ADR] methods are part of an evolution in our justice systems towards greater individual involvement. The Quebec Code of Civil Procedure, which has been in effect since January 1, 2016, encourages individuals to participate in resolving their own disputes and litigation. The concept of “participatory justice” heralded such a cultural shift long before the Code came into effect. This article aims to examine whether these ADR processes foster a form of “citizen participation” within the justice realm. The concept of participation is indeed at the heart of the development of ADRs. Over time, and with various actors involved in shaping these processes, diverse conceptions of participation have emerged, some deviating significantly from the citizen logic. After distinguishing between them, we propose exploring the extent to which research on citizen participation prompts a critical view of participative justice, notably by examining the ability of individuals to participate in resolving their disputes as well as questioning the growing instrumentalization of ADRs.Les modes de prévention et de règlement des différends [PRD] s’inscrivent dans une évolution de nos systèmes de justice vers une plus grande implication des individus. Le Code de procédure civile du Québec, en vigueur depuis le 1er janvier 2016, encourage la participation des personnes à la résolution de leurs différends et de leurs litiges. Le concept de « justice participative » annonçait bien avant l’entrée en vigueur de ce code un tel changement de culture. Le présent article propose de vérifier si ces processus prennent part à une forme de « participation citoyenne » dans le monde de la justice. Le concept de participation se situe, certes, au cœur du développement des modes de PRD, cependant des conceptions différentes de la participation, plus ou moins éloignées de la logique citoyenne, ont émergé selon les époques et les acteurs engagés dans le développement de ces processus. Après avoir les avoir distinguées, nous proposons d’explorer dans quelle mesure la recherche sur la participation citoyenne invite à poser un regard critique sur la justice participative, notamment en s’intéressant à la capacité dont disposent les personnes à participer à la résolution de leurs différends ainsi qu’en interrogeant l’instrumentalisation grandissante des modes de PRD
