Type d'Item : Item , Élèves noir·e·s dans les écoles de langue française de la région d'Ottawa : une recherche participative menée par des jeunes : Synthèse de recherche(2026-10-17) Afrofrancophonies-Ontario. Équipe de rechercheCette synthèse de recherche présente les résultats d’un projet de recherche participative mené par des jeunes sur les expériences scolaires des jeunes Noir·e·s dans les écoles de langue française de la région d’Ottawa. Quatre jeunes partenaires de recherche ont défini les priorités de recherche, mené des entretiens auprès de 13 pairs âgé·e·s de 14 à 17 ans et analysé les données collectivement. Les expériences étaient diverses, et les jeunes chercheur·e·s ont retenu quatre thèmes : la représentation contrastée des cultures noires et afrodescendantes, les stéréotypes, le racisme et les microagressions, le manque d’intervention du personnel scolaire, et les expériences positives, l’inclusion et le sentiment d’appartenance. Le résumé se termine par des recommandations pour des écoles plus inclusives : accueillir, écouter, valoriser et inclure.Type d'Item : Item , Power, Resistance, and Universities: The Case of the 2024 Palestinian Solidarity Encampments in Canada(Université d'Ottawa | University of Ottawa, 2026-11-12) Salame, Ghadir; Sondarjee, MaikaThe Palestinian solidarity encampments of 2024 became one of the largest student movements in recent Canadian history, prompting debates surrounding university governance, policing, media representation, and student activism. This research examines the experiences of students who participated in the encampments at the University of Ottawa and McGill University. Using a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten participants to explore their motivations for participating, their experiences within the encampments, and their perceptions of institutional responses, policing, surveillance, and media representation. This thesis aims to contribute to the growing literature on student activism, anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian racism, and the governance of dissent in Canadian higher education.Type d'Item : Item , Black Students in English Montreal Schools: A Youth Participatory Action Research Project: Research Brief(2026-10) Voices of Youth on Black Education (VYBE). Research TeamThis research brief presents findings from a youth participatory action research project on the school experiences of Black youth in English-language schools in Montreal. Five Youth Research Partners developed the research questions, interviewed twelve peers aged 15 to 17 and analyzed the findings with the research team. Experiences were diverse, and the youth researchers prioritized five themes: being a minority within the minority, the desire to speak French, racialized experiences and microaggressions, unequal disciplinary consequences, and coping and finding support. The brief closes with recommendations for schools, peers, families and communities.Type d'Item : Item , Unlocking Public Land for Affordable Housing: Lessons from the Wateridge Village Mikinàk Project: Executive Summary(2026-03) Fleury, Mathieu; Rousseau, ÉtiennePublic land is one of Canada’s most underutilized tools for expanding affordable housing. While governments increasingly recognize its potential, transforming surplus federal properties into new homes requires far more than making land available. Success depends on effective governance, coordinated decision-making, aligned funding programs, and strong partnerships among governments and housing providers. Canada’s housing affordability crisis has renewed interest in surplus public land as a strategic asset for housing development. Recent federal initiatives, including the National Housing Strategy, the Federal Lands Initiative (FLI), the Canada Public Land Bank, and, more recently, Build Canada Homes, reflect an increasing commitment to using federal land to accelerate the delivery of affordable and non-market housing. As governments seek to scale up housing supply, understanding how public land moves from federal ownership to completed housing projects has become increasingly important. This case study examines the Mikinàk project, a 271-unit affordable housing development delivered by Ottawa Community Housing (OCH) within Wateridge Village on the former Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Rockcliffe in Ottawa, Ontario. More than a successful housing project, Mikinàk provides a practical example of how surplus federal land can be transformed into affordable housing through collaboration among multiple public institutions. The project brought together Canada Lands Company (CLC), Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), the City of Ottawa, and OCH, each operating under distinct mandates, governance structures, and accountability frameworks. Drawing on interviews with senior representatives from these organizations, supported by an extensive review of policy documents, project records, and planning materials, this study examines how institutional relationships, governance arrangements, funding mechanisms, and decision-making processes influenced project delivery. Rather than focusing solely on construction outcomes, the report seeks to identify practical lessons that can improve future affordable housing development on federal public lands.Type d'Item : Item , Higher is not Better: An Economic Sociology of Business and Child Labour in India’s Global Cotton Value Chain(Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa, 2026-11-11) Khan, Andrea Carina; Notten, GerandaThis research examines child labour risks within India's cotton value chain among children and adolescents under age 18. Businesses and farmer groups face global market pressure to eliminate child labour despite deep-rooted structural inequalities shaping why children work. Poverty, informality, limited educational access, and uneven labour law enforcement increase children's vulnerability to harmful and illegal work. Drawing on economic sociology, integrative social contract theory, and transnational labour law, the study conceptualizes child labour risk as socially embedded, organized through value chain structures, normalized through compliance systems, and governed through public and private institutions. The research examines how businesses address child labour risks through employment practices and participation in voluntary sustainability standards, including Better Cotton, Fairtrade, and organic standards, under differing public policy and enforcement conditions. It develops a human-rights‑aligned Business and Child Labour Tool to evaluate governance responses, focusing on child labour specificity, public–private compliance and enforcement arrangements, and ethical capability. Using a mixed-methods design, the study combines legal research, surveys, interviews, and policy evaluation across three Indian states. The findings suggest that increasing minimum-age thresholds beyond India's statutory minimum of 14 is not, by itself, associated with better outcomes for children. Effective policy requires indicators that capture hazardous work, coercive practices, and gaps in safeguards, including schooling, child protection, and remediation. The study identifies misalignments between voluntary standard design, state enforcement capacity, and the conditions sustaining child labour risks, helping explain why increasingly robust governance procedures may coexist with limited evidence of sustained remediation. Enforcement is frequently society-dependent, with NGOs and community actors assuming protective and enforcement functions where state capacity is limited. Comparative analysis suggests that reductions in child labour risks may emerge through multiple pathways rather than a single governance model. The thesis concludes that reducing child labour risks requires governance arrangements that combine credible monitoring, remediation-capable enforcement, educational safeguards, and proportionate escalation linked to child-centred outcomes. Effective implementation depends on aligning international human rights norms with domestic legal requirements and local realities through context-sensitive, child-centred responses.
