by Pauline Tennent 17 Feb '23

17 Feb '23

Join us today Friday, February 17th at 2pm CST for a virtual conversation Harsha Walia and Dr. Alex Wilson to explore issues relating to borders, colonialism, sovereignty, human rights, and resistance. Harsha Walia is a Panjabi writer and organizer based in Vancouver, Coast Salish territories and rooted in migrant justice, anti racist, feminist, abolitionist, anti-imperialist, and anticapitalist movements and communities for over two decades. She is also the author of Border and Rule: Global Migration, Capitalism, and the Rise of Racist Nationalism (2021) and Undoing Border Imperialism (2013), and co-author of "Never Home: Legislating Discrimination in Canadian Immigration", as well as "Red Women Rising: Indigenous Women Survivors in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside." Dr. Alex Wilson (Opaskwayak Cree Nation) is professor in the Department of Educational Foundations at the University of Saskatchewan. Her scholarship has greatly contributed to building and sharing knowledge about land-based education; Two-Spirit People; Indigenous research methodologies; and anti-oppressive education. Her research and "coming in" theory has led to classroom and community practices that honour the contributions and lives of Two-Spirit People. As an Idle No More organizer and as coordinator of an Indigenous land-based Master's program, she focuses on the prevention of violence in the lives of Indigenous peoples and the protection of land and water.

INVITATION -- 28.02.2023 @ 11:30 -- Le droit des enfants à l'éducation en temps de pandémie | Children's right to education during a pandemic
by Viviana Fernandez 07 Feb '23

07 Feb '23

English follows. Le Laboratoire de recherche interdisciplinaire sur les droits de l’enfant (LRIDE) et la Faculté de droit, Section de droit civil de l’Université d’Ottawa sont heureux de vous inviter à cet événement hybride dans le cadre du Cycle de conférences de la Section de droit civil : Le droit des enfants à l'éducation en temps de pandémie<https://www.uottawa.ca/faculte-droit/droit-civil/lride/evenements/droit-enf…> La pandémie COVID-19 a changé nos vies pendant les trois dernières années. Alors que les secteurs de la santé et du travail ont retenu beaucoup l’attention des médias, relativement peu a été dit au sujet de l’éducation. Pourtant, les enfants ont été très touchés par la crise sanitaire. Les écoles ont été fermées pendant de longues périodes et le contenu de l’éducation a été réduit au strict minimum. Les enfants ont souffert de retards dans leur apprentissage, mais aussi d’autres problèmes liés à un suivi régulier dans le contexte scolaire. Peut-on dire que leur droit à l’éducation a été respecté? La conférence discutera des défis de la mise en œuvre du droit à l’éducation en temps de pandémie et de leçons à tirer pour l’avenir. Le droit à l’éducation est un droit clé pour les enfants, puisqu’il s’agit d’un droit fondamental qui est lié à l’exercice d’autres droits de la personne, notamment le droit de l’enfant au développement, le droit d’être protégé contre la violence, de droit de participer à la culture, les droits linguistiques des minorités, et le droit d’avoir accès à un soutien social. Mardi le 28 février 2023 11 h 30 – 13 h Événement bilingue en ligne sur Zoom & en personne au Pavillon FAUTEUX. INSCRIPTION OBLIGATOIRE que vous participiez en personne ou en ligne. ________________________________ The Interdisciplinary Research Laboratory on the Rights of the Child (IRLRC) and the Faculty of Law, Civil Law Section at the University of Ottawa are pleased to invite you to this hybrid event as part of the Civil Law Section Lecture Series: Children's right to education during a pandemic<https://www.uottawa.ca/faculty-law/civil-law/irlrc/events/children-right-ed…> The COVID-19 pandemic has changed our lives for the past three years. While the health and labor sectors have received much media attention, relatively little has been said about education. Yet children have been greatly affected by the health crisis. Schools were closed for long periods of time and educational content was reduced to a bare minimum. Children suffered from delays in their learning, but also from other problems related to regular follow-up in the school context. Can we say that their right to education has been respected? The conference will discuss the challenges of implementing the right to education in times of pandemic and lessons for the future. The right to education is a key right for children, as it is a fundamental right that is linked to the enjoyment of other human rights, including the child's right to development, the right to be protected from violence, the right to participate in culture, minority language rights, and the right to access social support. Tuesday, February 28, 2023 11:30 am – 1:00 pm Bilingual event online on Zoom & in person at the FAUTEUX Hall. REGISTRATION REQUIRED whether you participate in person or online. ____________________ Laboratoire de recherche interdisciplinaire sur les droits de l’enfant (LRIDE) | Interdisciplinary Research Laboratory on the Rights of the Child (IRLRC) Université d’Ottawa | University of Ottawa LRIDE(a)uOttawa.ca<mailto:LRIDE@uOttawa.ca>

Data Colonialism Revisited: The Violent Side of the Politics of Information, Marco Antônio Sousa Alves
by Centre for Human Rights Research Manager 25 Jan '23

25 Jan '23

[A picture containing background pattern Description automatically generated] TOPIC: Data Colonialism Revisited: The Violent Side of the Politics of Information Despite producing inequalities and posing risks to democracy and fundamental rights, the contemporary politics of information is usually seen as non-violent. We often consider current surveillance practices in post-panoptic terms and the emerging new power regime, in contrast to the totalitarianism of the early 20th century, as a soft power, that is, a supposedly harmless, efficient, and simple politics that does not touch, does not force, and is based on data, acting in real-time. I believe that this has been the dimension emphasized by a large part of the thinkers of our time (for example, Shoshana Zuboff when dealing with instrumentarian power, David Lyon when analyzing the surveillance culture, Bernard Harcourt when describing the new expository society, Thomas Berns when reflecting on the new government of relations, Byung-Chul Han when presenting psychopolitics, or Nick Couldry and Ulises Mejias when addressing the new data colonialism). In short, it is argued that power tends to function in contemporary times in a non-imposing way, without the need to say no, without explicit prohibitions, employing a more insidious governing strategy, which shapes environments and directs our behaviors in ways we are unable to perceive or resist. I believe it is essential to look more closely at the overtly repressive or negative dimension of the contemporary mode of power operation. I would like to direct my attention to the marginal experiences, on the other side of data colonialism. So I understand that an authoritarian drift is strongly felt in the Global South, where a colonial logic is reactivated, dehumanizing those who are deviant or unproductive.
