Our examination of these components in the current market schooling climate, with particular reference to the situation in Ontario, identifies some significant equity costs of market-driven education, including invisibility of systemic discrimination, co-option of gender equity initiatives to serve market objectives, failure to consider diversity and relations of power in educational practices, increased risks of sexual harassment, and increased barriers to social change. AICE equips educators with an analytical tool to conceptualize gender equity in a market-driven schooling climate. Les auteures proposent de conceptualiser le traitement équitable des sexes à l'aide d'un schéma formé de quatre éléments : accès, inclusion, climat et habilitation. L'analyse de ces éléments dans le contexte scolaire actuel, en particulier en Ontario, dévoile d'importants coûts inhérents à l'enseignement axé sur le marché, dont l'invisibililité de la discrimination systémique, l'assimilation aux objectifs du marché des initiatives en matière d'équité entre les sexes, l'occultation de la diversité et des relations de pouvoir dans les pratiques pédagogiques, les risques accrus de harcèlement sexuel et la multiplication des obstacles au changement social. Le schéma donne aux enseignants un outil analytique leur permettant de conceptualiser le traitement équitable des sexes dans un contexte éducatif axé sur le marché.
Putting People in the Picture: Visual Methodologies for Social Change, Jan 1, 2008
Getting the picture, constructing (and deconstructing) the picture, finding the picture, viewing ... more Getting the picture, constructing (and deconstructing) the picture, finding the picture, viewing the picture, being in the picture , changing the pictures --these are all phrases that apply to the fascinating world of 'putting people in the picture' in visual research within the Social Sciences. Putting People in the Picture: Visual Methodologies for Social Change focuses on the ways in which researchers, practitioners and activists are using such techniques as photo voice, collaborative video, drawings and other visual and arts-based tools as modes of inquiry, as modes of representation and as modes of disseminating findings in social research. The various chapters address methodological, analytical, interpretive, aesthetic, technical and ethical concerns in using visual methodologies in work with young people, teachers, community health care workers -- and even the self-as-researcher. The range of issues addressed in the work is broad, and includes work in the areas of HIV & AIDS, schooling, poverty, gender violence, race, and children's visions for the future. While the studies are situated within a variety of social contexts, the focus is primarily on work in Southern Africa. The book takes up some of the theoretical and practical challenges offered by Visual Sociology, Image- based Research, Media Studies, Rural Development, and Community-based and Participatory Research, and in so doing offers audiences an array of visual approaches to studying and bringing about social change.

Exploring the relationship between gender and colonialism, the paper speaks to the lived realities of young people from Indigenous communities across Canada. Over 85 young people participated in six different Indigenous community workshops to create artistic pieces that explored the connections between HIV, individual risk and structural inequalities. In the course of the research, Indigenous young people, and young Indigenous women in particular, talked about how gender intersects with race and colonisation to create experiences that are, at times, especially difficult for them. In this paper, young people discuss the ways in which colonialism has demeaned women's roles and degraded women's sexuality, and how continuing cultural erasure and assimilationist policies impact on their lives and on their bodies.

In this study we interviewed youth peer educators to inquire about their experience of program evaluation and their perception of what is needed to develop effective evaluation practices. Data were collected from eighteen participants in semi-structured qualitative interviews of youth (aged 16-28 years) sexual health peer educators in Ontario, Canada. Community-based research principles were employed throughout the project with youth involved in all stages of the research. Analysis of the data revealed four key themes relating to youth sexual health peer education evaluation: i) varied program goals; ii) benefits to peer educators; iii) diverse evaluation methods; and iv) challenges in conducting evaluation. We discuss the relevance of our findings for evaluation practices of peer sexual health education programs.

Concern is expressed for Maccoby's celebration of psychologists' search for sex differences. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
