Carpenter “During my first post-lockdown massage we had the requisite chit chat about our lockdown experi- ences. He gushed: ‘Oh man. It was so great. Every day I woke up, drank coffee, read, rode my bike…’ This did sound pretty great. But it was nothing like my own, anxiety-ridden ordeal. Had I done the lockdown wrong?” 1 In Next Time There’s a Pandemic, artist Vivek Shraya reflects on how she might have approached 2020 and the covid-19 pandemic differently, and how challenging and changing pervasive expressions, attitudes, and behaviours might transform our experiences of life in—and after—the pandemic.

Nhung N. Tran-Davies Josée Bisaillon A young girl is torn by her desire to stay home with her family and the familiarity of their village, and her desire to go to school and discover the world beyond the mountains that surround them.

Their loving exchange reveals the struggles and sacrifices that they will both have to make for the sake of the young girl’s future. The sweet, simple text captures a mother’s love and her wish for a life of opportunity for her daughter. NHUNG N. TRAN-DAVIES is a physician and advocate for social justice through education.

    FALL 2021 The University of Calgary Press publishes works that embody the spirit of curiosity inherent in scholarly inquiry. We invest in ideas that inform how we think and shape our world in order that we may connect local realities to global experiences. On questions of history and identity, people and nature, policy and community; from the transpolar to the southern cone, from regions in Africa to places in the mind; we try to engage one central theme: what matters? THANK YOU! We gratefully acknowledge the support of the following agencies for our publishing activities: Arctic Institute of North America Calgary Institute for the Humanities Canada Council for the Arts Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences Centre for Military, Security and Strategic Studies The Government of Alberta The Government of Canada Livres Canada Books Network in Canadian History and Environment Mount Royal University Thompson Rivers University The University of Calgary Press is located on the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprising the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations) as well as the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations).

  • Treasures from Our Archives
    On the banks of the Don there’s a dear little spot, Our boarders are honest, not one of them steals, A boarding house proper where you get your meals hot, For we count all our knives and forks after each meal; You’ll get fine bread and water, and you won’t pay a cent, Our windows are airy, and barred up besides, Your taxes are paid for, your board, and your rent. To keep our good boarders from falling outside. If you want to get into the palace so neat, So turn out every man of you, all in a line, Take Tanglefoot whiskey, and get drunk on the street; From the cell to the stoneyard you all must keep time; You’ll have a fine family carriage to drive you to town, You’ll work like a Turk ‘til the bell it strikes one, To that grand institution just over the Don. In that grand institution just over the Don. Treasures from Our Archives Twenty Years Ago Old Native and Métis Fiddling in Manitoba and Bulletin 22.2-4 (December 1988).

In collaboration with Indigenous Studies scholar Robert Henry (Métis), they share their stories using photovoice, an emancipatory research process where 1 participants are understood to be the experts of their own experiences. Each photograph in Indigenous Women and Street Gangs was selected and placed in order to show how the authors have changed with their experiences. Following their photographs, the authors each share a narrative that begins with their earliest memory and continues to the present. Together the photographs and narratives bring a deeper meaning to the women’s lived realities. Throughout, these women show us the meaning of survivance, a process of resistance, resurgence, and growth. While often difficult to read, the narratives shared by Amber, Bev, Chantel, Jazmyne, Faith, and Jorgina are direct, explicit, sensitive, and imbued with hope and humour. They provide unparalleled insight into the lives of these women and break all kinds of stereotypes along the way.
