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: February 2021
February is Black History Month, Women’s History Month, and of course, the month of valentines. We are debuting cryptic crosswords for all of you who love puzzles with our new column 793.73. This month, we are featuring eight clues that challenge readers to identify eight Black authors whose work is worth celebrating. And we are also featuring articles from women co-edit books, find more respectful ways to describe people and their work, want to live in good relationships on Turtle Island, and land the right job because they know how to make the most of the interview process.

What’s new in Open Shelf: December 2020
Dear Santa, We’re the Open Shelf editorial team. Our favourite things to do are to engage with our friends in the OLA community. We write, we provide feedback, we get creative with pictures and tweets, we play tag all the time, and just basically have lots of fun. We’ll be snuggled at home during the holiday season, hopefully taking a break from work but still dreaming of new stories we can tell in Open Shelf in 2021. Although this has been a crazy year—the “Year of COVID”—we’ve still been able to play with our Open Shelf contributors and they have sent us lots of great stories to print in the magazine.
