dr. pauline sameshima (professor and canada research chair in arts integrated studies), has won a sshrc “aid to scholarly journals” grant, for the open-access journal of the canadian association for curriculum studies (jcacs). dr. sameshima is editor-in-chief of jcacs. lakehead doctoral student, holly tsun haggarty, is the associate and managing editor of jcacs.
the three-year award, valued over $100,000, will support this canadian journal in continuing to publish the most innovative and provocative curriculum work in canada — experimenting in various modes of knowledge mobilization, and increasing dissemination, discoverability and readership of original research results.
jcacs publishes articles semi-annually in both french and english that address curriculum issues of interest to canada and canadians and an international readership such as curriculum pedagogies in elementary and secondary schools, undergraduate and graduate courses, and informal or community-based settings. the journal aims to reflect the diverse scholarship of the members of the canadian association for curriculum studies, which includes the special interest groups: science education research group, language and literacy researchers of canada, regroupement pour l’étude de l’éducation francophone en milieu minoritaire, canadian critical pedagogy association, and the arts researchers and teachers society.
"the funding is critical to developing a sustainable, accessible, and inclusive journal. we will be able to operationalize our goals of including bilingual abstracts, publish more french articles, support social media dissemination, develop mentorship/community dialogues, and update and secure our current platform, dr. sameshima says. "we are so grateful for the support of the social sciences and humanities research council."
congratulations to dr. pauline sameshima (professor and canada research chair in arts integrated studies), who has won a 2018 contribution to research award for her relevant research activities over the past three years.
the award recognizes dr. sameshima’s productivity in quantity and quality, her interdisciplinary range, and her scholarly outputs such as peer-reviewed journals and books while she creates, disseminates, and curates research through the arts. it also recognizes her mentorship of graduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , her attainment of funding, and her research collaboration with scholars across disciplines.
“the arts offer loving ways to engage communities in collaborative research, and through the arts, we can share research with different communities. i am honoured to have received this award and am grateful to co-researchers, community partners, graduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , and lakehead for making my work possible,” she says.
one of dr. sameshima's endeavors includes the addition of two new research art galleries that opened at lakehead this year. she curates the galleries@lakeheadu spaces, which are made up of five different locations for displaying research done at the university.

congratulations to phd student elizabeth boileau, whose research publication, “insect and human flourishing in early childhood education: learning and crawling together” (co-authored with dr. connie russell, professor), has won the graduate studies research excellence award, awarded during 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 ’s research and innovation week.
the research chapter, which is published in the research handbook on childhoodnature (springer, 2018), explores how educators might “offer young children opportunities to develop ethical and caring relationships with insects, including those who are commonly feared, disliked, or simply overlooked.” elizabeth has presented this research at two refereed conferences, and the publication is also being used as a course reading in a master of education course.
“winning this award is very exciting and validating! i am proud of the positive impact that this publication has had already. i am very grateful for the guidance of my supervisor, connie russell, through the research, writing and publication process,” elizabeth says.
she adds that this research bridges her professional and academic life, since it draws on her experiences working with children and working at an insect museum prior to the start of her phd studies.
dr. michael hoechsmann (associate professor, faculty of education – orillia) will present a public talk as part of the “uncovering the truth: investigative journalism in the age of ‘fake news’” series.
date: wednesday, february 27
time: 9:30-11:30 a.m.
location: st paul's centre, 62 peter street north, orillia, on
description: how we produce, circulate and consume knowledge, information and “news” has changed dramatically with the participatory web 2.0 and algorithmic web 3.0. a democratized internet gives voice to previously marginalized voices, and generally unleashes unfiltered views into circulation. less able to rely on professional editors we actively curate information from multiple sources through search engines and social media. the apparent fake news ‘crisis’ of lies and propaganda in the media is fueled too by the rise of authoritarian populism and the celebration of opinion and affect (“i believe what i feel like believing”) over knowledge and science.

the faculty of education’s humanities 101 program has been featured in the february issue of the walleye magazine (see page 64 of the link).
the article, entitled “the fundamental gift of the humanities,” discusses humanities 101, a program that provides a free, university-level experience to community members who have financial or social barriers that make it difficult for them to pursue post-secondary education.
as explained in the article: “in 2004, dr. christina van barneveld of the faculty of education and other educators began the ongoing process of implementing, revising, and sustaining humanities 101 at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 . the program is supported by a large network of community affiliates and volunteers including the thunder bay art gallery and the thunder bay symphony orchestra. people from a variety of backgrounds with different reasons for wanting to move towards their potential are attracted by the accessible approach... humanities 101 provides a unique individual and community-directed experience. it’s a way that education can open doors so 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 can find their own place to make way for personal positive change.”
humanities 101 is celebrating its 15th year in 2019. the program is offered on both thunder bay and orillia campuses.
