Robots and Gadgets
Why did we need to reflect on and write about smart-home technologies for the older person? What is a smart-home techology? In the face of smart-home promises to help the elderly person, and before these technologies are more widely used, we need to examine the ethical issues.

Alliances and Treaties with Indigenous Peoples of Québec
In the context of the recognition of the Maliseet of Viger First Nation (MVFN, now Wolastoqiyik Wahsipekuk) by Canada (1987) and Québec (1989), we propose to examine how and why this nation was forgotten. The story is set in a long-term perspective and in the broader context of the official recognition of Indigenous Peoples in Canada (1982), of Indigenous Nations in Québec (1985 and 2000) and of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007).
Blackness and la Francophonie
This book delves into the complexity of the exclusion of multiple minority identities against the backdrop of anti-Black racism, linguistic discrimination, slavery, and colonialism and neo-colonialism, along with resilience against identity exclusion. Analyzing the construction and negotiation of Canadian, Francophone, and Black-African identities, we juxtapose inclusive identity meanings with dominant perceptions to show ways in which race, language, ethnicity, and religion shape identities in the 21st century. Drawing on the criterial tradition, critical race theory, critical multiculturalism, and critical ethnography, we engage the work of Frantz Fanon and Negritude and utilize semi-structured interviews, document collection, and content analysis to interpret identity and identification. We shed light on identity exclusion and subjectivity that fuels identity strategizing and agency, and recommend reforms, including naming Black Canadians an independent designated group, and combining multiculturalism and official bilingualism to strengthen belongingness among Blacks and other marginalized communities and to build the inclusive future that we long for.

Cet ouvrage vient clôturer deux années de réflexion intensive sur les enjeux à l’intersection entre la justice sociale et les technologies d’IA. Une compréhension de ces impacts sociétaux dépasse alors l’aspect technique pour se concentrer principalement sur le fait social.
