As part of this event, EDST PhD student, Keith Dormond, will be presenting his work entitled “Understanding honour related violence and oppression in ways that are helpful for victims, their communities, and Canadian society”.

A new publication (in French) from EDST’s Dr. André Mazawi:
“Colonialism, adversities, and statelessness: Teachers and teaching in the Palestinian context”
The evolution of the teaching force in Palestinian society happened over more than a century of colonialism and resistance. The main challenge is to understand how the vernacular constructions of what teaching stands for are positioned in relation to each other, over an increasingly fragmented territory and field of power, and how these constructions interface with political struggles around contested collective imaginaries.
