  • Abusive and Offensive Speech Online: an Overview of Canadian Legal Responses Focusing on the Criminal Law Framework1
    Abusive and Offensive Speech Online: An Overview of Canadian Legal Responses Focusing on the Criminal Law Framework1 INTRODUCTION & OVERVIEW 1.1 Abusive and offensive attacks on individuals and on communities made vulnerable by racism, sexism, colonialism and other forms of oppression and their intersections were not created by the advent of digital communications technologies (DCTs). However, the widespread distributional capacity, immediacy and sense of anonymity associated with networked communications via the internet have amplified both the consequences and public awareness of offensive and abusive content. Canada had a relatively comprehensive framework of legal responses for addressing many types of abusive and offensive content prior to the advent of the internet, including human rights, civil, regulatory and administrative, and criminal law. As in other countries, since the mid-1990s, DCTs and other forms of technology have featured prominently in Canadian economic and social policy. Early parliamentary debate around what was then known as the “information super highway” was highly optimistic about its potential to improve the human condition generally and the Canadian economy specifically. However, very shortly thereafter concerns about offensive and abusive content arose, especially in relation to children.2 1.2 With these concerns have come both attempts to apply pre-internet law to abusive and offensive content online, as well as the creation of new kinds of legal responses. The latter include human rights remedies,3 proactive education law responses and public awareness campaigns aimed at addressing root causes of discriminatory and harassing content, as well as remedial responses such as: civil 1 Professor Jane Bailey, University of Ottawa, Faculty of Law (Common Law), Co-Leader of The eQuality Project.

  • Affordances and Recontextualizations: a Multiple-Case Study of Young Children‟S Engagement in Information Literacy Practices in School and Out-Of-School Contexts
    AFFORDANCES AND RECONTEXTUALIZATIONS: A MULTIPLE-CASE STUDY OF YOUNG CHILDREN‟S ENGAGEMENT IN INFORMATION LITERACY PRACTICES IN SCHOOL AND OUT-OF-SCHOOL CONTEXTS by MARIANNE EMILY MCTAVISH B.Ed., The University of British Columbia, 1981 M.Ed., The University of British Columbia, 1991 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Language and Literacy Education) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April, 2010 © Marianne Emily McTavish, 2010 Abstract Students‟ future worlds will require the use of conventional print literacies and new multiliteracies in order to access and construct information that requires print, electronic and face-to face interactions within private and public economic sectors, and within local and global corporate worlds (Luke, 1998). Research has called for a new understanding of literacy and literacy teaching and learning to account for the context of our culturally and linguistically diverse and increasingly globalized societies, and to account for the burgeoning variety of text forms associated with information and multimedia technologies (Lankshear & Knobel, 2003a). Drawing on a sociocultural theory of literacy learning situated in particular contexts, this qualitative multiple-case study examines the school and out-of-school contexts of four second- grade children. It focuses on the ways in which these contexts afforded and constrained opportunities for the children to engage in, appropriate, and recontextualize information literacy (IL) practices. Findings show that despite similar constraining factors in both contexts (i.e., press of time, perceived needs, access to informational texts, and disruptions and interruptions), the out-of-school contexts offered the children greater and more diverse opportunities for engagement than did the school context.
