By Bonnie Shishko and Shawn Bowers As college professors with three combined decades of First-Year Writing experience, we’re observing two unsettling trends: first, that traditional undergraduate students are increasingly unlikely to tackle academic writing without relying on AI-tools, and second, that they are increasingly likely to hold rigid beliefs about writing—what it is, what it can do, and what it should sound and look like. As a result, we’re noting a third phenomenon: in the...| The Recipes Project

I recently had a new co-authored research article published in the journal Body & Society, titled Embodied Experiences of Trans Pregnancy. It is part of a special issue on Pregnant Bodies and Embodied Pregnancy. For this piece of writing, we were particularly interested in how embodiment is gendered and vice-versa. In the article, we draw […]| Dr Ruth Pearce

January is a hectic month at the gym. I race over right after school drop-off, just to get a parking spot. The treadmills are often taken, and it may take a little muscle to get a bench. By mid-February things will have calmed down, and by April we’ll be back to “Cheers bar” days, just […]| Fairer Disputations

How do we establish authentic connections? How do we get in touch with one another in such a way that we are both honoured in what we are, and yet we remain fully open to the other?

Our daily life moves through a number of socially codified scripts that show patterns for relating with other beings, via specific roles that we learned to play.

The point is not to take the mystery away, but just to fully understand what the mystery is about. Over the past four months or so, I transitioned from a very still and re...| Dhammavicaya
