A New Approach to Global Studies from the Perspective of Small Nations
With emphasis on East Asian and North American examples – notably Japan and Quebec – Date, Laniel and their contributors take a new approach to the understanding of small nations and their role in the international system. Small nations, by their very nature, raise significant questions about what a nation is. Some small nations are sovereign states with relatively small populations and limited territory, others are nations within larger sovereign states, with distinctive cultures, governance structures or other features that differentiate them from their “parent” state. By focussing on non-European nations in particular, the contributors to this volume challenge our conceptions of w...
École - Familles immigrantes - Communauté. Outils de collaboration en 42 pratiques et 255 actions clés
L’accroissement de l’immigration au Québec, autant dans la ville de Montréal qu’en dehors de celle-ci, exerce beaucoup de pression sur l’école, qui se trouve au centre de débats sur différents enjeux touchant la diversité. Dans ce contexte, la direction d’école doit, plus que jamais, exercer son leadership pour soutenir une bonne collaboration entre les acteurs scolaires et sociaux pour garder le cap sur la réussite. Mais pour s’acquitter de leur rôle, ces trois instances, soit école, famille et communauté, doivent se doter d’outils pour guider leurs pratiques dans le quotidien. Ce livret, basé sur des entrevues avec différents acteurs scolaires et sociaux et sur les écrits dans le domaine, présente 42 pratiques efficaces et 255 actions clés reliées à la collaboration école-familles immigrantes-communauté (ÉFIC). Il s’adresse à ces acteurs en contexte d’immigration, mais peut également être adapté à d’autres situations nécessitant la collaboration des trois instances (élèves à besoins spéciaux).
Immigration et nouvelles vies
Le contexte pandémique de 2020-2021 a soulevé nombre de défis et d’occasions socioéconomiques et politiques. Toutes et tous avons dû nous réinventer pour nous adapter. Les personnes issues de l’immigration doivent accepter de perdre leurs repères habituels, leurs représentations sociales pourtant acquises depuis le berceau. Si plusieurs d’entre elles choisissent de vivre dans un nouvel environnement, d’autres optent pour cette solution en raison de conditions socioéconomiques et politiques difficiles, parfois inhumaines. Les guerres, les génocides, les conflits et les conditions climatiques génèrent et provoquent de plus en plus de trajectoires migratoires du Sud au Nord. Les gestionnaires et propriétaires d’entreprises, les membres de la communauté étudiante et du corps enseignant et le lectorat du grand public intéressés à cette interdépendance globale apprécieront lire et appliquer ces pratiques d’intégration sociale, scolaire, postsecondaire et professionnelle concrètes et expérimentées avec succès au Québec et dans plusieurs pays membres de l’Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques (OCDE).

Life History Evolution
The social sciences share a mission to shed light on human nature and society. However, there is no widely accepted meta-theory; no foundation from which variables can be linked, causally sequenced, or ultimately explained. This book advances “life history evolution” as the missing meta-theory for the social sciences. Originally a biological theory for the variation between species, research on life history evolution now encompasses psychological and sociological variation within the human species that has long been the stock and trade of social scientific study. The eighteen chapters of this book review six disciplines, eighteen authors, and eighty-two volumes published between 1734 and 2015—re-reading the texts in the light of life history evolution.

By engaging with Indigenous epistemologies and strategies, the contributors navigate the complexities of the decolonization and indigenization of post-secondary institutions. What is needed in this field is less theorizing and more action: the contributors offer practical steps on how one might positively transform the Canadian academy. Through this lens of action-based solutions, each of the fifteen chapters advances critical scholarship on issues of pedagogy, curriculum, shifting power dynamics, and challenging Eurocentr...
