A place to start: Understanding disability identity and community at Mount Allison University
No full textThis thesis is a phenomenological exploration of disability, identity and community at Mount Allison University. I conducted 10 semi-structured interviews with students who self-identified as having disabilities. Participants' accounts reflected embodied perspectives of disabled identity which recognize both disability and identity as contextual and multifaceted. Findings demonstrated how disabled students' identities were informed by the neoliberal expectations and limitations placed on them by the university, and also revealed the ways in which participants were working to decenter and resist these norms. Though institutional policies and practices often separated disabled issues from the rest of the university environment, participants found community by resisting the expectation of remaining quiet about disability. A sense of community with other disabled students was discussed as a factor that positively influenced participant identities. By building community, participants resisted the isolation imposed upon them by the institution. The findings of this study also revealed ways in which participants were prioritizing interdependent communities in a university environment that privileges individualism, and critiquing neoliberal notions of self-care that neglect community

Trajectories towards transformation: An abolitionist analysis of student organizing at Mount Allison University
No full textThis thesis explores student organizing at Mount Allison University through frameworks of analysis derived from prison abolitionists. In the context of the research, abolition is regarded as a broad theory of emancipation and social transformation, presented in conjunction with theoretical perspectives on Black Marxism, decoloniality, and critical pedagogy. Seven semi-structured interviews were conducted with self-identified student organizers, surrounding the themes of accountability and social change. A qualitative analysis was conducted on the contents of the interviews. Three major themes emerged: neoliberal organization, community accountability, and transformative practices. In the following chapters, these themes are analyzed in correspondence with existing literature, which draws from the works of scholars and organizers such as Angela Davis, Paulo Freire, Ruth Wilson Gilmore, and Mariame Kaba. Additionally, the research also references studies on other social movements, including the Zapatista Movement, the Maple Spring protests, the Sir George Williams University student uprisings, and the fossil fuel divestment movement. The findings reveal the importance for developing critical consciousness and community accountability practices in organizing, as well as identify the reproductive role of neoliberal institutions
