More than a newsletter but not quite a journal, RACE-Link at best constitutes a quasi-journal. In this issue, we continue to plot the lines defining race in its contemporary configurations in the post 9/11 Canadian context. This issue begins with Sunera Thobani’s article ‘No Academic Exercise’ tracing the highly problematic notion of academic freedom. Thobani calls attention to the lack of such freedom in voicing dissent against the ongoing War on Muslim bodies. She underlines the tenuous position of women of colour in the academy whose grounded knowledge is neither validated nor their critique acknowledged.

As one of the few sociological investigations into the medical practice of male enhancement, this research reorients our analytical gaze away from the somatic transformations of historically-oppressed people’s sexed bodies, towards bringing the male body, cis masculinity, and whiteness into the spotlight of critique. This investigation is grounded in fifty hours of online observations of a male enhancement forum for cis men interested in augmenting their genitals; and twenty in-depth, qualitative interviews with medical practitioners who specialize in male enhancement procedures.

  • The Discursive Construction of Ideal Heavy Metal
    1 Vulgar Discourses of Power: The Discursive Construction of Ideal Heavy Metal Subjectivity and the Erasure of Black, Indigenous, and Women of Colour in Heavy Metal Music Culture By Michelle Bona A Thesis Submitted to Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, Nova Scotia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Women and Gender Studies April 2021, Halifax, Nova Scotia Copyright Michelle Bona, 2021 Approved: Dr. Tatjana Takševa Supervisor Approved: Dr. Jacqueline Warwick Examiner Approved: Dr. Tracy Moniz Reader Date: 23 April 2021 2 Abstract Vulgar Discourses of Power: The Discursive Construction of Ideal Heavy Metal Subjectivity and the Erasure of Black, Indigenous, and Women of Colour in Heavy Metal Music Culture By Michelle Bona Heavy metal music culture has been a bastion of working-class white masculinity since its beginnings in the early 1970s. Through canonization and Historical documentation, white male dominance has been ensured, obscuring contributions made by white female performers and erasing black, Indigenous, and women of colour (BIWoC) from the genre. Utilizing feminist critical discourse analysis (feminist CDA) to examine texts by canonized male bands reveals the discursive parameters of ideal heavy metal subjectivity (IHMS). Exploration of texts created by white female performers, including a case study of Arch Enemy vocalist Alissa White-Gluz, isolates the necessity for white female performers to reproduce the discourses of IHMS in order to secure their participation in the culture, further contributing to the erasure of BIWoC performers. However, feminist CDA also reveals transformative potential within these texts to de-centre IHMS as the default subject position and shows white women’s agency and resiliency as performers.

  • A Theoretical and Discursive Framing of Multiculturalism and Global Citizenship Education in the Canadian Context
    RELATED AND CONFLATED: A THEORETICAL AND DISCURSIVE FRAMING OF MULTICULTURALISM AND GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION IN THE CANADIAN CONTEXT by Karen Pashby A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Humanities, Social Sciences and Social Justice Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Karen Pashby 2013 RELATED AND CONFLATED: A THEORETICAL AND DISCURSIVE FRAMING OF MULTICULTURALISM AND GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION IN THE CANADIAN CONTEXT Doctor of Philosophy 2013 Karen Pashby Graduate Department of Humanities, Social Sciences and Social Justice Education University of Toronto Abstract There is a public perception that Canada is an ideal place for cultivating global citizenship because of its culturally plural demographics and official policies of multiculturalism. Global Citizenship Education (GCE) is a growing field in Canadian education and is an explicit focus in the Alberta social studies curriculum. This thesis brings together four conversations within which multiculturalism and GCE are both related and conflated: (a) the public perceptions of Canada as a model of cultural diversity and global citizenship, (b) the scholarly discussions of GCE and multiculturalism, (c) the policy context where multiculturalism is set alongside GCE, and (d) the practical ways that the two are mutually related in curriculum and lesson documents. There are four interrelated sections to this thesis; each identifies the tensions inherent to multiculturalism, GCE, and the perceived relationship between these fields. First is a wider philosophical and theoretical framing of the topic. Second is the examination of educational research on the topic. Third is a critical discourse analysis of policy, curriculum, and lesson plan documents in the province of Alberta.

  • Transgressing Boundaries of Izzat: Voices of Second-Generation Punjabi Women Surviving and Transgressing “Honour' Related Vi
    TRANSGRESSING BOUNDARIES OF IZZAT: VOICES OF SECOND-GENERATION PUNJABI WOMEN SURVIVING AND TRANSGRESSING “HONOUR’ RELATED VIOLENCE IN CANADA by Mandeep Kaur Mucina A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Leadership, Higher and Adult Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Mandeep Kaur Mucina 2015 Transgressing Boundaries Of Izzat: Voices Of Punjabi Women Surviving And Transgressing “Honour” Related Violence In Canada Mandeep Kaur Mucina Doctorate of Philosophy Graduat Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education University of Toronto 2015 Abstract This study is an act of witnessing second-generation Punjabi women who have survived displacement/excommunication/exile from their family and/or community after transgressing boundaries of izzat. Izzat is a cultural construct that holds particular importance in the Punjabi community of Northern India and is translated into English as meaning “honour”. The life histories collected in this study are a result of in-depth interviews through narrative inquiry with 5 second-generation Punjabi women living across Canada. The women’s stories speak to the complexities of “honour” related violence in the West, they challenge the dominant discourses that frame family violence in South Asian communities, and they allow the reader to hear how they resisted/reclaimed izzat while challenging/surviving layers of heteropatriarchy, violence and racism throughout their lives. This study aims at shifting dominant discourses that use “honour”

    Public Inquiry Commission on relations between Indigenous Peoples and certain public services in Québec: listening, reconciliation and progress Final report Public Inquiry Commission on relations between Indigenous Peoples and certain public services in Québec: listening, reconciliation and progress Final report NOTE TO READERS In keeping with the Indigenous languages, the Commission has endeavoured to reconcile the terminology used with the spelling preferred by the Indigenous peoples themselves. As such, the names used to designate the First Nations communities are those used in the Indigenous languages. The same goes for the nations. The unchanging nature of certain Indigenous words (e.g. Inuit) has also been observed. The term First Nations includes the Abénakis, Anishnabek (Algonquins), Atikamekw Nehirowisiw, Eeyou (Cree), Hurons-Wendat, Innus, Malécites, Mi’gmaq, Mohawks and Naskapis. The expression Indigenous peoples designates First Nations and Inuit collectively. Also note that translations of quotations are our own, unless otherwise stated. This publication was drafted following the work of the Public Inquiry Commission on relations between Indigenous Peoples and certain public services in Québec : listening, reconciliation and progress.

  • Rethinking Representations of Violence Against Indigenous Women in Vancouver’S Downtown Eastside
    “(listen to the women)”: Rethinking Representations of Violence Against Indigenous Women in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside by Sylvie Lorraine Vigneux A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English Department of English and Film Studies University of Alberta © Sylvie Lorraine Vigneux, 2015 Vigneux ii Abstract This thesis investigates contemporary representations of violence against Indigenous women in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES). I argue that sensationalist representations of violence against Indigenous women serve to distance readers from understanding their own implication in systems of colonial violence and sever individual acts of violence from their broader colonial context. Pushing back against such sensationalism, I turn in my first chapter to Missing Sarah, a memoir written by the sister of one of Vancouver’s missing women. I argue that, although this text eschews the sensationalism that characterizes mainstream coverage of violence against Indigenous women in the DTES and seeks to humanize the victims of violence, its political potential is circumscribed by its unacknowledged Western cultural investments. In my second chapter, I take up the work of Mohawk/Tuscarora poet Janet Marie Rogers alongside first-hand narratives of women living and working in the DTES. Together, I suggest that these representations offer a more nuanced understanding of ongoing violence in Canada and, in the case of Rogers’ work, a vision for a decolonial future that moves beyond this violence to reconnect Indigenous women to the land. Vigneux iii Acknowledgments First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor, Teresa Zackodnik. From the earliest stages of this project, Teresa has guided and supported me with unwavering calm, a sense of humour, and a clear belief in my abilities.
