Community involvement was recently demonstrated in the Southern Ontario town of Unionville. Vandals entered a school and did over $170,000 damage with water and fire extinguishers. Local residents came out in large numbers to help with the clean up. It was obvious these people accepted ownership for the criminal act in their community and did something, constructive about it.

  • Contesting the Reproduction of the Heterosexual Regime Geographies of Oppression and Resistance
    CONTESTING THE REPRODUCTION OF THE HETEROSEXUAL REGIME GEOGRAPHIES OF OPPRESSION AND RESISTANCE: CONTESTING THE REPRODUCTION OF THE HETEROSEXUAL REGIME By ALI GRANT, B.Sc., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Ali Grant, December 1996 - ----- ----------- DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (1996) McMaster University (Geography) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Geographies of Oppression and Resistance: Contesting the Reproduction of the Heterosexual Regime. AUTHOR: Ali Grant, B.Sc. (University of Strathc1yde), M.A. (University of Toronto) SUPERVISOR: Professor Vera Chouinard NUMBER OF PAGES: viii, 264 11 ABSTRACT In this thesis I offer a specifically lesbian and geographic analysis of particular struggles for social change in Hamilton, Canada. Through an investigation of the deployment of the political regime of heterosexuality in the regulation and containment of local anti-violence activism in the 1990s, I build on emerging work in feminist, and lesbian and gay geographies on the institution of heterosexuality as regulatory. Through an exploration of both the struggles over the development of spaces of political resistance, and the importance of gender, sexuality, and "difference" in local urban politics, I suggest that "unnaturalizing" categories such as Woman\Man can offer insights to the processes of identity formation in place. Through employing a politically engaged methodology and constructing this research as part of local struggles for social change, I offer local activists critical analyses of political strategies and processes of institutionalization in Hamilton, as well as challenging the ongoing invisibility of lesbians in geography and beyond. 111 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the members of my committee, Dr.
