L’accueil d’un « ailleurs » : May Agnes Fleming et la paternité de l’oeuvre transatlantique à la fin du dix-neuvième siècle
No full textAuthorship in Canada during the nineteenth century was fundamentally transatlantic. Authors who resided in British North America, and later Canada, needed to navigate the system of trans-border publishing if they wished to see much in the way of financial compensation or wide readerships. While the material and legal conditions of trans-border publishing were a hindrance to many authors residing in Canada, some were able to negotiate these conditions to their advantage. One such author is May Agnes Fleming, a New Brunswick-born writer whose literary career was made possible through her pursuit of trans-border — and eventually transatlantic — publishing. In this article, I explore how Fleming’s accrual of mass-market, transatlantic readers and subsequent significant financial success was born by this period’s international copyright agreements. Using Fleming as a case study, this article encourages us to challenge our perceptions of nineteenth-century publishing conditions as exclusively an obstacle to authorship, instead making room for authors who cannily negotiated these conditions in an exceptional, intentional way.Au Canada, la paternité de l’œuvre au dix-neuvième siècle était fondamentalement transatlantique. Les auteur·trice·s qui résidaient en Amérique du Nord britannique et, plus tard, au Canada, devaient naviguer le réseau d’édition transfrontalière afin de recevoir une compensation financière ou atteindre un grand nombre de lecteur·trice·s. Alors que les conditions matérielles et judiciaires de l’édition transfrontalière étaient considérées comme des obstacles auprès de nombreux·ses auteur·trice·s canadien·ne·s, quelques-un·e·s en ont tiré profit. Tel a été le cas de May Agnes Fleming, autrice néo-brunswickoise dont la carrière littéraire a été rendue possible par sa poursuite de l’édition transfrontalière – et, ultérieurement, transatlantique. Dans cet article, j’examine comment l’acquisition d’un vaste lectorat par Fleming ainsi que son succès financier subséquent sont nés des accords sur le droit d’auteur de l’époque. En présentant l’exemple de Fleming comme étude de cas, cette analyse nous encourage à repenser notre perception des circonstances éditoriales du dix-neuvième siècle comme une entrave à la paternité de l’œuvre pour laisser de la place aux auteur·trice·s qui ont su les négocier habilement et délibérément

No full textBarriers to Service and Care: An Exploratory Review of Public Library Accessibility for Disabled Children
No full textThe public library is a space that strives to be welcoming and inclusive of any potential user. In order to create an equitable environment, libraries must take active measures to be inclusive to users who face systemic barriers, including provisions like special considerations, outreach, and accommodation. As a user population, children with disabilities require particular care when crafting library spaces due to the intersectionality of being young and disabled; as such, public libraries should be aware of the potential opportunities and barriers disabled children experience.
This exploratory review examines the current literature on how public libraries serve children with disabilities and identifies common themes that impact the quality of library service for disabled children as a user group. After reviewing 19 relevant articles, this review identified seven themes throughout the literature: accessibility of the physical environment, library training, outreach and marketing, caregiver roles, specialized programming, images of representation, and financial considerations.
By identifying these themes, this review seeks to highlight current practices within public libraries that consider the needs of disabled children as library users, as well as barriers to and opportunities for service. This review also notes the lack of direct input from children with disabilities and suggests opportunities for further research
Between Surveillance and Street Photography: The Ethics of Putting Strangers on the Internet
No full textThe rise of smartphone cameras and social media has increased the reach of the average person and the information they share online. While considerable attention has been paid to people who share their own information, less has been said about what it means from an ethical perspective to share information about others. Drawing connections back to the longstanding tradition of street photography and attendant ethical concerns, this paper considers the ethics of sharing visual representations of strangers online. This phenomenon is examined through three case studies featuring individuals who went viral online without their knowledge or consent. It ultimately concludes that the decision to share personal information related to other people and thereby risk exposing the subject of the photo or video to unwilling virality is, at best, ethically fraught. Street photographers, including amateur ones, are encouraged to reflect on the possibility that their decision to capture and share moments in others’ lives could have a far-reaching negative impact which they can neither anticipate nor control
Using community-to-care provider dialogue to promote anti-racism and culturally safe health care
No full textCulturally safe approaches to health care are fundamental to addressing Indigenous-specific racism and improving health care experiences and health outcomes for Indigenous peoples. However, historical and structural barriers in British Columbia, Canada mean that health care and services are not consistently or predictably provided in a culturally safe manner as people cross from Indigenous-led health services to mainstream health care providers who serve Indigenous communities. The Nuu-chah-nulth Patient Voices Project was a participatory research-to-action project which aimed to facilitate dialogue between health care providers and Nuu-chah-nulth community members about the impact of culturally unsafe care delivery on health outcomes. The Nuu-chah-nulth Voices project was conducted in partnership with the Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council, Tseshaht First Nation and Mowachaht/Muchalaht First Nation. The research team utilized a storywork and brokered dialogue methodology facilitated between members of the participating First Nations and mainstream health care providers serving Nuu-chah-nulth communities, including family practice and emergency department physicians and nurse practitioners. The findings demonstrate that cultural safety requires a multi-pronged approach – including education, changes in standard care practices, policy and procedure changes in patient advocates and complaint processes, increasing access to primary care in Indigenous communities, and instigating workplace culture change in hospitals and clinics. Importantly, these strategies will be most effective when they are rooted in the perspectives of Indigenous patients and developed in collaboration with health care providers, bridging the divide between care provider and patient experiences
First Nations, Métis, Inuit Youth Mental Health and Indigenous (FNMI) Ways of Knowing: A Theoretical Interpretation and Application
No full textDue to the colonial genocides that have happened (and continue to happen) in Aotearoa, Australia, Turtle Island and beyond, and Indigenous rights movements that have generated iconic, historical shifts in research praxes to improve the health of Indigenous Peoples, globally. Mental health services for Indigenous youth require an approach and design grounded in Indigenous Ways of Knowing. Through this theoretical paradigm shift, researchers in public health are starting to understand that cultural safety is critical in the delivery of FNMI (Indigenous) health services that actually provide healing and do not further harm people (deliberately or not). Still in progress, public health researchers and youth mental health service providers continue to (allegedly unknowingly) uphold the colonial legacies, highlighting an urgent need for Indigenous Ways of Knowing and Doing. As we discuss Indigenous Ways of Knowing and Doing, the reader will find descriptions of the main theoretical tenets with examples of their application. Strengths and challenges will serve as the throughline for the discussion. The paper concludes with the extension of these tenets and their potential application for mental health services for Indigenous youth
Editorial: Vol 20, No 2
No full textFor over twenty years, the Network Environments for Indigenous Health Research (NEIHR) has been a key initiative of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research-Institute of Aboriginal Peoples’ Health, now the Institute of Indigenous Peoples’ Health (CIHR-IAPH-IIPH). The NEIHR Program is a national initiative of 9 networks with a national coordinating centre (NCC) across Canada focused on capacity development, research and knowledge translation centred on First Nations, Métis and Inuit Peoples (FNMI). These independent, Indigenous-led networks provide supportive research environments for Indigenous health research driven by, and grounded in, Indigenous communities across Canada (CIHR-IIPH, 2023)
