Emmanuelle Andrews & Katrina Sellinger guest editors on The Capilano Review
It is uncommon on this unceded Coast Salish land called “Vancouver” to see the radiant faces of so many black people in one room; more familiar are we with those rare, unexpected moments when we see another solitary “i” in this city, as Ian William so aptly notes in “Our eyes meet across yet another […]

Video: SenseLab director Erin Manning on Neurodiversity, Black Life and the University as We Know It
Creating the conditions for neurodiversity and black life in the university is not about creating a space for difference, a space where difference sequesters itself.

Ayesha Chaudhry interviewed Globe and Mail article, “Women need to play a role in ‘restoring’ Saudi Islam”
In her groundbreaking book “Domestic Violence and the Islamic Tradition,” UBC Professor Ayesha Chaudhry makes it abundantly clear that the “Islamic tradition” – beginning a few centuries after the Prophetic era to the precolonial era – reflected worldwide patriarchy of the times.
