School of Racism

Toutes nos disparitions
Je lance un regard en direction du salon. Serena, ma sœur de onze ans, somnole sur le divan rose pâle. Elle s’est endormie en espérant le retour de notre mère, partie en trombe sur sa mobylette tremper son chagrin dans une soupe tonkinoise et ses olives dans une chaudière de dry martini. Le vendredi, c’est sa soirée de recharge mentale parce que des enfants, ça suce l’énergie, ça gruge, ça use. Je ne l’attends jamais avant minuit, ce qui me laisse le temps de mettre en scène ma disparition. Lucie simule son propre enlèvement pour tenter de rabibocher sa famille et faire revenir son père, qui passe son temps à Paris sans lui en révéler la véritable raison. Son plan dérape, mais au travers des mensonges qui ne trompent plus personne, de nombreux secrets se dévoilent. Diplômée du Conservatoire d’art dramatique de Québec, Catherine Larochelle a collaboré à plusieurs projets, tant au théâtre, au cinéma, qu’à la télévision. Quand elle disparaît, c’est au milieu des coussins, pour lire ou écrire. Par souci d’ergonomie, elle devrait s’aménager un bureau.
L'école du racisme
Outil de socialisation, l’école est aussi une fenêtre sur le monde et un lieu d’apprentissage – stéréotypes et préjugés compris. Dans cet ouvrage, l’autrice postule que l’école au Québec, tant francophone qu’anglophone, a, dès ses débuts et pendant des décennies, enseigné et cautionné la domination coloniale et le racisme. Elle éclaire la façon dont les figures de l’Autre ont été construites par une variété de discours, selon différentes caractéristiques culturelles ou corporelles, et la façon dont elles ont occupé diverses fonctions dans la formation de l’identité collective de l’élève québécois, blanc et civilisé. L’ouvrage montre bien comme...
Assessing the adoption of high-iron bean varieties and their impact on iron intakes and other livelihood outcomes in Rwanda: Main survey report
An impact assessment (IA) study was conducted in Season B 20152 to establish the reach of high-iron bean (HIB) varieties to Rwandan bean farmers since these varieties were released in 2010, and to understand the adoption and diffusion patterns that have occurred so far. The IA was carried out in two parts. The first part was a listing survey, which was conducted at the beginning of Season B 2015, during the planting period. A total of 19,575 households were enlisted in 120 randomly selected villages throughout the country, and 93 percent of those households were bean-producing households. The listing exercise revealed that 28 percent of bean farmers had grown at least one HIB variety in at l...

On les réveille pour leur annoncer un événement tragique. À 29 ans, Charlie n’a plus de temps à perdre. Sa liste de choses à régler est interminable. Elle entreprend un périple vers le pardon et le deuil, accompagnée de son frère détesté, de sa cheeky best friend, du fantôme de son père, de sa mère trop intense et de son amoureux q...

Aging in multiple sclerosis: from childhood to old age, in women and men
In recent years attention has been drawn on changes in multiple sclerosis (MS) prevalence according to sex and age. We are now aware that MS is not a disease with onset exclusively in the young adult, but that pediatric cases are not infrequent, as well as onset in older adults. The need to assess the role of aging, sexual hormones, diet, and infections, has boosted research in many areas, from immunology to imaging techniques to psychology. An increasing awareness of the impact of MS on personal and sexual relationships, with the need to assess patient related outcomes also in clinical trials, has driven research not only in psychology, but in many other areas. The need to integrate information from all these different research areas is deeply felt.
Lymphocytes in MS and EAE: More than just a CD4+ World
Multiple sclerosis is degenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS) in which myelin destruction and axon loss leads to the accumulation of physical, cognitive, and mental deficits. MS affects more than a million people worldwide and managing this chronic disease presents a significant health challenge. Multiple lines of evidence indicate that MS is an autoimmune disorder in which immune cells launch an inflammatory attack targeting myelin antigens. Indeed, myelin-reactive T cells and antibodies have been identified in MS patients and in animal models (namely experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, or EAE) that recapitulate many features of human disease. Animal model studies ha...
