A Subversive Role for Collaborative Inquiry in Academia Today
No full textThe purpose of this article is to speculate about the application of John Heron’s concept of Co-operative Inquiry in the context of present day western academic institutions. While this article was written in two institutional locations - one in Canada and the second in Australia, academic contexts in the rest of North America, the UK, and Australia are striking in their similarities. Given the current context of neoliberal policy enacting algorithmic governmentality in education, an application of Co-operative Inquiry as an institutional organizing framework for the work of academics in the humanities, while desirable and possible, would be highly improbable. Since protests and criticisms of the currently ubiquitous policy tend to be muted in view of the risks involved for the protesters, it is suggested that Co-operative Inquiry could be used as a subversive strategy for saving human creative capacity. Keywords: Algorithmic governmentality; corporate university; Co-operative Inquiry; Integral Model; research planning in educatio

CPI Welcomes Kathleen Sitter’s Special Issue Artistic Pedagogies in Academia
No full textInspired by Heron’s research on different ways of knowing, as importantly, as a result of her considerable knowledge and expertise in the field, Kathleen Sitter has designed, developed, indeed masterminded and crafted, a very special CPI issue. Textual discourses, in this issue, are often complemented by artworks. Yet, at other times, works from the visual arts occupy centre stage. Within Sitter’s issue, the range of ways of depicting not only, how one knows that one knows, as well as, the who- what- where and whys, become lively players in processes of knowledge-making. For educational purposes, the rich combination of types of texts and artworks demonstrate interactive pedagogies for teaching and learning for social justice
Transitive Poetry: Arts-Based Research as a Mode for Student Voice
No full textArts-based research marks a unique nexus of curricula and its social context. Through the application of semiotics and a focus on anti-oppressive pedagogy, this paper articulates the function of art curricula in empowering student voice to approach and begin to dismantle the oppression of minoritized peoples. We have initiated a political, participatory application of Erasure Poetry that emphasizes the relationship of participants to their broader political environment. The presence of students throughout every dimension of the classroom experience makes the facilitation of their voices a key tool for consciousness-raising and the promotion of equitable, pluralistic, and democratic pedagogies. We posit that making political poetry is an important vehicle for personal reflection, critical thinking, self-expression, and demonstrating knowledge through action that is particularly effective for engaging minority learners, such as those who identify as gender and sexually diverse, in conservative times. Keywords: Erasure poetry, semiotics, student voice, gender & sexually diverse learner
Loss
No full textThis quilt was designed to represent an encounter I experienced while working with Child, Youth, and Family Services (CYFS) that involved the removal of a child. The left side of the quilt symbolizes this baby’s life when she was living with her family. This was a happy time where she was with the people with whom she was most familiar. The right side of the quilt symbolizes loss. I chose dark colors for this side because this represents sadness and fear, in some cultures
