Diversity Discourse and the Ontario Educator: The Understandings of Race and Whiteness Among New White Ontario Teachers

As a recent teacher education graduate, I have been left with more questions than answers about how to create and maintain an equitable and antioppressive classroom. These complicated questions of equity laid the groundwork for this study, which explored how new teachers understood diversity, specifically whiteness, and how they connected these perceptions to their course-related experiences in their teacher education program. Using a qualitative approach, this study problematized the lack of critical discussions around diversity taking place in Ontario teacher education courses. Through purposive, homogenous sampling, 7 new Ontario educators participated in a semistructured interview that focused on their experiences as teacher candidates and new teachers and their understandings and ideas regarding diversity, race, and more specifically, whiteness. The findings suggest that the greater Canadian discourse surrounding multiculturalism impacts the everyday diversity talk of the participants, and that problematic ideas of acceptance and tolerance are common. The findings also show a strong discomfort and unfamiliarity among the participants with the terms whiteness and white privilege. Finally, the results also revealed that new teachers have limited experience in their teacher education to discuss and learn about diversity, particularly critical discussions about race and privilege. Through this investigation, I aimed to bring attention to the necessity of having these critical, albeit difficult, discussions around diversity and whiteness in order to support new, predominately white, teachers.

How do Young People Choose College Majors?

Previous studies on the determinants of the choice of college major have assumed a constant probability of success across majors or a constant earnings stream across majors. Our model disregards these two restrictive assumptions in computing an expected earnings variable to explain the probability that a student will choose a specific major among four choices of concentrations. The construction of an expected earnings variable requires information on the student s perceived probability of success, the predicted earnings of graduates in all majors and the student s expected earnings if he (she) fails to complete a college program. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, we evaluate the chances of success in all majors for all the individuals in the sample. Second, the individuals' predicted earnings of graduates in all majors are obtained using Rumberger and Thomas's (1993) regression estimates from a 1987 Survey of Recent College Graduates. Third, we obtain idiosyncratic estimates of earnings alternative of not attending college or by dropping out with a condition derived from our college major decision-making model applied to our sample of college students. Finally, with a mixed multinominal logit model, we explain the individuals' choice of a major. The results of the paper show that the expected earnings variable is essential in the choice of a college major. There are, however, significant differences in the impact of expected earnings by gender and race.

Les politiques de stérilisation sexuelle au Canada et aux États-Unis : une pratique à l'intersection de rapports de genre, de race et de classe

Dans ce mémoire, l’objectif poursuivi sera d’éclairer les dynamiques de genre, de race, de classe, de nation et de handicap à travers le phénomène du contrôle des capacités reproductives des femmes. Dans un premier temps, j’essaierai de comprendre comment les passés coloniaux du Canada et des États-Unis ont structuré leur rapport à la reproduction et comment celle-ci est devenue un enjeu politique de premier plan au sein de l’idéologie eugéniste. Dans un deuxième temps, j’explorerai quel a été le rôle de la science dans la mise en place, en Occident, de systèmes experts capables de guider la société vers le Progrès. Ces réflexions me permettront de retracer quel a été le contexte d’émergence des lois sur la stérilisation sexuelle et quels discours de légitimation ont été mis de l’avant afin de justifier l’appropriation des capacités reproductives de certaines populations jugées « indésirables ». Ainsi, je poserai l’hypothèse que les valeurs et présupposés « scientifiques » racistes, sexistes et classistes sous-jacents à l’élaboration de ces lois ont mené à des stérilisations forcées de certains groupes minorisés, c’est-à-dire les femmes autochtones au Canada et les femmes noires aux États-Unis. Je tenterai alors d’évaluer si, effectivement, les politiques de stérilisation aux Canada et aux États-Unis ont été discriminatoires dans leur formulation et dans leur mise en application à l’égard de ces populations. Finalement, je mobiliserai les figures de la welfare queen et de la squaw afin de comprendre comment ces identités assignées ont permis de légitimer un traitement différencié à leur égard et comment elles structurent encore aujourd’hui leur rapport à la sexualité et à la reproduction.
