  • Like Day and Night: on Becoming a Teacher in Two Distinct Professional Cultures in Rural Saskatchewan
    Like Day and Night: On Becoming a Teacher in Two Distinct Professional Cultures in Rural Saskatchewan Dianne M. Miller Laurie-Ann M. Hellsten University of Saskatchewan Framed within ecological and institutional ethnography perspectives, and situated within a larger study of beginning teachers in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, this paper focuses on the dramatically different experiences of one beginning teacher who happened to secure half-time contracts in two rural schools within commuting distance of one another. His account of these experiences and how he makes sense of them orient researchers to the broad social, economic, and material conditions that organize the mutually dependent work of parents and teachers. This analysis contributes to beginning teacher research by affirming the value of personal stories of learning to teach, moving beyond studies of individual adaptation to fixed notions of professional success, and opening to scrutiny the shared conditions of early and later career teachers as they are institutionally and discursively organized, thus promoting appreciation of the complexities of learning to teach attuned to variation in local rural circumstances.

  • Less Than Two Weeks After "Star Trek Discovery" Wrapped up Its Third
    Less than two weeks after "Star Trek Discovery" wrapped up its third season in January, the new season of "Endlings" — another space series featuring a "Star Trek" star, actor Oyin Oladejo. The second season of "Endlings" premieres on Hulu Friday (Jan. 15). For those who are new to the show, "Endlings" has a similar focus on environmentalism, diversity and space that you are used to in "Star Trek." However, the show is a little more geared towards a younger audience. Without giving away any spoilers, the first season of "Endlings" focuses on four children who discover an alien on their foster father's property. This discovery sounds like the best thing ever for an imaginative bunch of kids, but the finding comes with a twist: the alien's species is on a quest to save endangered species from us humans on Earth, and not everyone agrees with what they are doing. For example, Oladejo's character Abiona Maina is the caretaker of an elephant called Tuko, and has spent her entire life "on a focused mission to save animals," Oladejo told Space.com in an exclusive interview. "When that was torn away from her, she ended up in North America in this family. In thinking back on it, she starts to realize [in Season 2] that there are other people out there in the world doing the same thing she's doing," Oladejo said. Maina, Oladejo continued, is a "very calculated, strong woman that has seen brutality" in her life. Getting to know the children, however, leads Maina to realize there is more than one way to be an environmentalist.
