Faculty

There are many responsibilities we have as knowers. The responsibility to share accurate information is one responsibility, but not the only one.

A Pan-African Literary Movement

From September 25, 2023, to November 24, 2023, the UWaterloo’s Sankofa Network for Transformative Community Research (SNTCR), in collaboration with the University of Waterloo Library, embarked on a mission to enrich the Sankara Pan-African Library. The resounding success of our Book Drive was made possible by the generous contributions and collective efforts of our vibrant community. We are thrilled to share that a total of 48 books were donated to this initiative.

The impact of these contributions extends far beyond the pages of a single book. By supporting the Sankara Pan-African Library, we are participating in a movement that strengthens communities and amplifies subaltern voices while pursing the decolonization of knowledge.

Testing Hiring Discrimination in Canada’s Blue-Collar Industry

Research suggests that openly queer blue-collar workers are among the most marginalized in the labour market. To understand the role of anti-queer hiring discrimination in Canada’s blue-collar sector, economist Dr. Maryam Dilmaghani (Saint Mary’s University) and queer health scholar Dr. Margaret Robinson (Dalhousie University) conducted an experiment.
