No Debate
During 2008-2009, Israel lobby organizations made concerted efforts to block a planned conference on statehood for Israel and Palestine at Toronto's York University. This book is a report of an independent investigation by author Jon Thompson for the Canadian Association of University Teachers, an organization that has been active in the defence of free speech and academic freedoms which have been challenged on Canadian campuses. Controversy began at York soon after the Israel-Palestine conference was advertised, and intensified over the following months. The event was repeatedly denounced, and university administrators were deluged by irate e-mails and phone calls. York, as the host univers...
The Open Door
This book is a commentary on the Mother Tongue and English Teaching Project (MOTET) which investigated the effects of the first year of a bilingual programme for young South Asian children entering two schools in the Bradford Metropolitan District.
Unthinkable Thoughts
In 2009, an international conference exploring models of statehood for Israel and Palestine was held at York University. The conference became a cause c�l�bre when extraordinary pressures were exerted on organizers and university administrators by academics, private donors, pro-Israel lobbies, and other groups concerned with this issue. This book covers the events from the perspective of one of the conference organizers. Based on her own experiences and communications, as well as drawing from confidential e-mails released under Freedom of Information legislation, Susan Drummond offers a behind-the-scenes, insider's look at these extraordinary events and their implications for academic freedom.
Aspects of Bilingualism in Wales
The minority language and culture of Wales is under threat.

Race, Culture, and Politics in Education
"Through her far-ranging autobiography, Kogila Moodley provides readers with a detailed glimpse of how she managed as a person of color amid divided societies, from Apartheid South Africa, to anti-Semitism in Europe, and sectarian conflict in the Middle East. Moodley's message to readers is to find ways to combat oppression and racism in order to foster a more interconnected world"--
The Education of Linguistic and Cultural Minorities in the OECD Countries

The book synthesises data from more than 30 national case studies and consultants' reports prepared for an OECD-sponsored study.
Language, Minorities and Human Rights
One of the most vexing issues in many of the world's so-called ethnic or minority conflicts is the question of language use by the State and its citizens. While international and national law has traditionally viewed language preference to be within a State's prerogative - at least when involving governmental activities and machinery - this position has proved to be a continuous source of acrimony and conflict, and wrong in some respects. Language, Minorities, and Human Rights is the most complete book ever written on the topic, providing for the first time an analysis of every aspect of language and the law. In addition to presenting a theoretical model for language's particular position an...
Policy Unplugged
The integration of technology into Canadian public schools remains an illusive goal for policy-makers and educators who believe that investment in computers yields concrete results. Policy Unplugged documents the realities of computer use in schools and unveils the often hidden barriers to teachers' integration efforts.
