What’s new in Open Shelf: November 2018

This month we have a special issue on language and power. Co-curated by Jennifer Brown, Tracy Munusami and John Pateman, this collection of stories and opinion pieces reflects a varied understanding of how the words we use impact our relationships with language and each other.

We have contributions from folks in Ontario, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, the United States and the United Kingdom. Plus, we have some “calls” for OLA members: To share their projects for the UNESCO Year of Indigenous Languages (2019) and to join us for our “editorial hackathon” at Super Conference 2019.

Our thanks to our guest editors for suggesting this important topic and bringing together the following rich variety of voices and perspectives (in the order the articles appear in the magazine):

As always, we hope you enjoy the show!

What’s New In Open Shelf: May 2021
It seems as though spring has truly sprung by this point in the month, with the warmth and sun finally showing themselves after what was a difficult winter for many. With the sun comes a promise of togetherness, if not now then soon. It conjures visions of sitting outside, perhaps in a park, perhaps in your backyard with a friend or loved one you have not been able to see in far too long and of catching up with one another.
