Model Minority Stereotype and Racialized Habitus: Chinese Canadian Youth Struggling with Racial Discrimination at School
No full textThis paper examines how Chinese Canadian youth struggle with the model minority stereotype and experience racial discriminationat school. Three negative connotations associated with model minority stereotype are identified, which respectively treat Chinse students as academic achievers and thus social nerds, undesirable immigrants (descendants) from the non-Western world, and targets of bullying.Drawing on Bourdieu, I elaborate on a concept of racialized habitus, particularly in relation to the model minority stereotype. I argue that in addition to the existing theorization of racism as institutional and systemic, racism has also been maintained and reproduced at the individual level as a racialized habitus
The Power of Civility: A Transdisciplinary Examination of Adolescent Social Power and Bullying
No full textAdolescents are keenly aware of the importance of social power, leading some to bully others in order to acquire and/or maintain that socialpower. Traditional efforts to understand and prevent adolescent bullying have largely proven to be limited or ineffective. In response to this, researchers have called for a transdisciplinary approach to bullying. Unfortunately, a transdisciplinary approach is challenging to implement, partly because it depends on, and is sometimes constrained by, the successful implementation of civility. We suggest that civility may not only be required for research but may also serve as a key for transdisciplinary efforts to understand and guide adolescents’ use of social power
Learning Together: Our Reflections on Connecting People and Practices in Intergenerational Meaning-Making Experiences
No full textThis article is a reflection on our experiences as researchers / research assistants in five different intergenerational settings. We envision the entangled nature of connections in intergenerational meaning making and explore this theme of connection as it occurs between people (children and elders) and across meaning-making practices. We identify three principles that support meaning making in both intergenerational and monogenerational settings
Caldera Index
No full text"Caldera Index" grapples with the synthetic power of words and of language, and how they hold up (or how they don\u27t) against the raw, natural power of the things they describe. A volcanic eruption leaves onlookers in a crisis of danger and silence. Can language really be used to describe such events? Nature says no, poetry says yes. 
La « frontière » selon Paul de La Pradelle
No full textAuteur indispensable sur la « frontière », Paul de Geouffre de La Pradelle est connu pour sa théorie juridique originale. L’auteur fait la distinction entre la « délimitation » (qui est une ligne) et la « frontière » (qui est une zone de coopération). Il différencie également ce qu’il nomme la « frontière nationale » (« objet d’étude du droit public interne ») et la « frontière internationale » (« objet d’étude du droit international public et privé »)
