Bridging the Opportunity Gap
Bridging the Opportunity Gap offers an empowerment tool that investigates and analyzes the experiences of school principals and the processes they underwent in their promotion from educator to principal. Author Dr. Danielle Hyles-Rainford interrogates the notion of career mobility in school systems. The purpose of this study is to explore actual career barriers that impede the mobility of aspiring educators, with a specific focus on race and gender, and also to give agency attributes and navigational tools to attain personal empowerment and systemic resiliency for career success. Previous research in the field of mobility and leadership in education has rarely brought together issues of race...
Schooling the System
In post–World War II Canada, black women’s positions within the teaching profession served as sites of struggle and conflict as the nation worked to address the needs of its diversifying population. From their entry into teachers’ college through their careers in the classroom and administration, black women educators encountered systemic racism and gender barriers at every step. So they worked to change the system. Using oral narratives to tell the story of black access and education in Ontario between the 1940s and the 1980s, Schooling the System provides textured insight into how issues of race, gender, class, geographic origin, and training shaped women’s distinct experiences wit...

One of the King's Men
“One of the King's Men” is the completely factual account of the remarkable life of my son Cameron, whose short Earthly journey demonstrated his unique connection with the miraculous, heavenly realm in which he could function with complete ease and gladness. Cameron was a tall, blond athlete; a kind, loving, and helpful boy; obedient and well-mannered always; a consistent trier; neat and tidy; and a joy to his whole family. Right from his babyhood, he began to demonstrate his exceptional capacity for the supernatural realm of the Spirit and his unquenchable desire to connect with heaven and with God. Cameron was, in many ways, a typical, laid-back Aussie kid growing up in the 1980s and i...

Idolatry of Blood
The preponderance and influences of religions in our world need not be established. Religions are largely represented in two categories of fundamental beliefs regarding the deity: those who claim monotheism and polytheists. If there is a single common thread between all religions, it is that they are all founded on at least some elements of beliefs that defy logic. Those unexplainable beliefs are accepted as faith by their devotees. If this observation is correct, one has to reflect on a few basic questions. If intelligent supernatural forces created humans, they are also the creators of logic. This suggests that the religions of our world should not be short on logic, but a simple analysis ...
