Transformative Pedagogy Through Strong Poetry
No full textAbstractIn No Return, a refugee story in poems, the author reflects on the critical stance of art, particularly, language as art. The anthology uses an eclectic set of methodological tools drawn from critical discourse and literary analyses, and as importantly, it incorporates critical pedagogy theory. This article consists of two parts. The first is a literary deconstruction of the introductory poem in the story.

Us-Them-Us: Artists Interrogate the Ambivalent Structures of Belonging
No full textUs-Them-Us was an exhibition held as part of the pre-conference to the Social Sciences and Humanities Congress 2016 of the Comparative and International Education Society of Canada at the University of Calgary, Alberta. The exhibition included the work of seven artists whose work engage in discourses surrounding identity and belonging.
