No full textHow can I express the feelings that aptly describe that ‘one a we’ has been invited to present a Keynote lecture for the SSHRC Congress at the University of Ottawa? This prestigious, national academic conference, annually, showcases some of the very best thinking and research in the country. The conference was once called: “The Learneds Societies Conference”, at a time when the boundaries between ‘town and gown’ were firmly delimited.

CPI Welcomes Cyril Dabydeen’s Anthology: “Myth-Making: From Margin to Centre”
No full textCPI’s, summer and fall issues for 2016, continue to hold tremendous promise for the Journal’s well -being.

Breaking Silence and Opening Windows: Insider Stories of South Asian Canadian Women
No full text As a series of backdrops, this paper draws on important works of Megan Boler (1999), as well as critical feminist studies (Baszile, 2008; Delpit, 1988; Mogadime, 2008. It explores how understanding the roles and functions of emotions (positive and negative) provides valuable insights into identifying forms of social control. It further explains some key strategies of enforcement of dominant discourses in public educational institutions. As importantly, it identifies minority women teachers’ responses to the socio-economic and cultural work environments in which minorities are seldom welcome. The discussion will include a few findings from my far larger study about the experiences of South Asian women teachers in a western Canadian, prairie city (Aujla-Bhullar, 2012) as a window revealing insights concerning emotions previously silenced.
