Full text linkIn Lydia: Anthem to the Unity of Women, Kally Forrest documents the extraordinary life of the late Lydia Komape (Kompe), affectionately known as ‘Mam’ Lydia’. The biography chronicles her journey from her rural childhood, to her life as a trade unionist and a rural land restitution activist, to a member of South Africa’s first democratic parliament. Forrest draws on interviews with Mam’ Lydia, her family and fellow comrades, to provide an insightful window into a life deeply entwined with South African struggles for equality and justice. Mam’ Lydia’s story unfolds against the backdrop of the pervasive and oppressive apartheid system, which legally enforced racial discrimination and political, social and economic exclusion
Carving out a path: Exploring the impact of a student-partnership led undergraduate conference through hands-on experiential research opportunities
Full text linkThis research paper examines a student-partnership project on developing the first undergraduate student conference in the Social Psychology Program at McMaster University. This article first situates our research within the broader pedagogical literature on student partnership and engagement in research-based learning opportunities, followed by an overview of the research methodology, including a discussion of the exit survey administered to the first conference participants in 2022. Further, we discuss significant findings and challenges that arose from this student-partnership project by reflecting on the experiences of the student-partner team members, examining feedback received from undergraduate student conference participants at the first undergraduate conference in the Social Psychology Program, and discussing how the original conference in January 2022 informed the development of the March 2023 and March 2024 conferences. We conclude with suggestions for future research in this area of student-partnership based research and share the lessons learned
Le bâtard
Full text linkThis poem reflects on my journey as an undiagnosed Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)/Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) foster child growing up in rural Newfoundland. It highlights the abusive and neglectful developmental years and how that lack of guidance drove me to a directionless life, regardless of the paths I tried to walk.It attempts to highlight the paths I have taken, the frustrations felt, the mistakes made, and the meeting of my wife. I am still "licking old wounds" in her shade.Life has been incredibly complex due to the multitude of masks I was forced to wear in order to survive, alone, without any evidence as to who, or what I am. I still do not fit, but at least I now know why. That’s a great starting point.Ce poème reflète mon parcours d’enfant non diagnostiqué ayant un trouble du spectre de l’autisme (TSA) et un trouble déficitaire de l’attention avec hyperactivité (TDAH) et placé en famille d’accueil dans la campagne de Terre-Neuve. Il met en lumière les années de développement marquées par les abus et la négligence et montre comment ce manque d’orientation m’a conduit à une vie sans direction, quels que soient les chemins que j’essayais de prendre.
Il tente de mettre en lumière les chemins que j’ai empruntés, les frustrations ressenties, les erreurs commises et la rencontre avec ma femme. Je suis encore en train de « panser de vieilles blessures » à son ombre.
La vie a été incroyablement complexe en raison de la multitude de masques que j’ai été forcé de porter pour survivre, seul, sans aucune preuve de qui, ou de ce que je suis. Je ne suis toujours pas à ma place, mais au moins je sais maintenant pourquoi. C’est un bon point de départ
Tout commence par un diagnostic : : Notre parcours et la promesse de la Stratégie pour l’autisme au Canada
Full text linkThis narrative shares the story of a family’s journey into understanding and supporting their child, beginning with the transformative moment of an autism diagnosis. The diagnosis helped them step into his beautiful universe filled with things that spin. The essay explores the role that Canada’s Autism Strategy plays in shaping a brighter future for families like theirs. Focusing on the Strategy’s priorities—screening and diagnosis, public awareness and acceptance, and tools and resources—it reflects on how these initiatives promise a more equitable and inclusive future. This is a story of love, discovery, and advocacy, grounded in the belief that change begins with understanding, and that every journey begins with a diagnosis.Ce récit raconte l’histoire d’une famille qui s’est efforcée de comprendre et de soutenir son enfant, en commençant par le moment transformateur qu’a été son diagnostic d’autisme.

L’essai explore le rôle que joue la Stratégie pour l’autisme au Canada dans la construction d’un avenir meilleur pour des familles comme la leur. En se concentrant sur les priorités de la stratégie (dépistage et diagnostic, sensibilisation et acceptation du public, outils et ressources), l’autrice réfléchit à la façon dont ces initiatives promettent un avenir plus équitable et plus inclusif. Il s’agit d’une histoire d’amour, de découverte et de plaidoyer, fondée sur la conviction que le changement commence par la compréhension et que tout voyage commence par un diagnostic
