Specifically, I will examine how the stated need for immigrant labour has made the official language proficiency of newcomers a site of increasing concern and regulation for the Canadian Government. Foucault's notion of governmentality as the conduct of conduct will frame my analysis as I examine how the immigrant language learner is subject not only to institutional processes of management but is also constituted as responsible immigrant language learners in terms of how they self-manage and control their own learning.

In this introduction, I ask what is our responsibility to the absent-presence of this remembrance and representation of Mary-Jo while we grapple with our grief and melancholic attachments. Ultimately, it is Mary-Jo’s exemplary integration of scholarship and activism that inspires the writings in this section.

Methodology: This retrospective observational study was conducted at a single Veterans Affairs hospital in the Southwestern region of the U.S. Patients with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter who were initiated on either warfarin or dabigatran prior to DCCV were reviewed. The time to cardioversion was compared between warfarin and dabigatran, as well as costs of therapy, rescheduling rates, and adverse events. Results: Out of 258 patients reviewed, a total of 68 patients were included in the study. All patients were male with an average age of 68 years (SD=8.6). A total of 38 patients (56%) received dabigatran and 30 patients (44%) received warfarin. Patients in both groups had a median CHADS 2 and HASBLED score of 2. The median number of days to cardioversion was 34.5 (range=22-148) for dabigatran compared to 66.5 (range=32-183) for warfarin (p<0.01). Total costs of anticoagulation for warfarin averaged $183.50 (SD=95.02) from initiation of anticoagulation to the end of the required four week period following cardioversion, whereas dabigatran costs averaged $193.20 (SD=59.38). Three patients (10%) in the warfarin group had DCCV rescheduled compared to none in the dabigatran group. There was one bleeding event in the warfarin group and no thromboembolic events in either group. Conclusion: The use of dabigatran prior to elective DCCV results in a significant decrease in number of days from initiation of anticoagulation to cardioversion as compared to warfarin, with a minor increase in total costs.

This paper attempts to examine how such a devastating proportion of LTC residents could have become the victims of the virus in a country which openly proclaims to have successfully flattened the curve of the virus. This paper examines this question by drawing on Agamben’s figure of the Muselmann and his thinking about the relation between the state of exception to the rule; specifically, how each secretly institutes each other. In particular, Thobani’s and Weheliye’s rethinkings of the Muselmann as the site of racialized logics and assemblages are mobilized to illuminate the techniques used to script the bodies of these LTC residents as bare life so their suffering and deaths come be seen as natural and expected in an ever-extending ...

The authors argue for a multidimensional conceptual approach to theorizing internationalization; one that takes into account the significance of language from the global, transnational and local levels of the social world whereby linguistic heterogeneity is viewed as the “norm” and one that allows for a broader and deeper engagement when considering what international education might mean for citizenship, integration, and linguistic minorities in Canada.

Approximately 10 years later, in a second qualitative study, we had the chance to conduct semi-structured interviews with 13 of the former students to find out what had happened to them in the intervening years. Two of the 13 had become tenured academics, three were on the tenure track after years in temporary positions, and most of the others worked in the contingent sector of the academic labour market. Bourdieu’s concepts of “habitus” and “field” are particularly useful for our analysis, and we explore the tensions between these concepts for our participants.
