Authors:   Instituto Politécnico Nacional, Escuela Superior de Comercio y Administración Unidad Santo Tomás, Ciudad de México, México, Silva Jorge
Published: November 2023

Water supply and access has gained widespread attention especially with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Summations from the documents show that the pandemic has led to investors holding out on channeling funds into water systems in Paraguay, thus leaving people in rural areas being unable to gain basic protection against the virus. The challenges faced are explored in the subsequent systematic review. Results show that Paraguay has a more than functional water system, which can, however, be improved through collaboration between private and government entities. Recommendations drawn call on the involvement of all stakeholders in decision making to find an iron-clad solution to the issue.

Relationship models between egg weight and internal quality of Alabio duck eggs (Anas platyrhynchos Borneo)
Authors: Biyatomoko Danang , Hartati Lilis , Febriyanti Febriyanti , Simanungkalit Gamaliel
Published: November 2023

This research aimed to determine the relationship models and phenotypic correlation between the egg weight of Alabio duck (Anas Platyrhynchos Borneo) and the Haugh unit (HU), albumen weight, yolk weight, albumen index, and yolk index. Five hundred eggs weighing 65.7 ± 4.62 g were collected from a flock of 32-week-old commercial laying hens as objects for this experiment. The observed variables were egg weight, albumen weight, yolk weight, albumen index, and yolk index. The data was analyzed using simple linear regression and Pearson's correlation coefficient (r). A significant correlation (P < 0.05) was found between egg weight and HU, albumen weight, yolk weight, and yolk index., with an r of -0.11, 0.83, 0.70, and 0.19, respectively. However, there was no significant correlation between egg weight and albumen index (P > 0.05). These results indicated that egg weight could be used as a variable to appropriately predict albumen weight and yolk weight with the equations y = -0.11 + 0.56x and y = -2.10 + 0.37x for albumen and yolk weight, respectively. However, egg weight as a single variable could not accurately predict the HU and yolk index of the Alabio duck egg.
Kualitas fisik dan fraksi serat silase rumput Gajah (Pennisetum purpureum) dengan penambahan molasses dan probiotik
Authors: Riyanti Lilis , Febriza Gian
Published: November 2023

The objective of the study was to analyze the use of molasses as an energy source of silage and probiotics on the physical/organoleptic quality of silage, fermentation characteristics, and NDF and ADF silage content. 15 kgs of Napier grass were packed in plastic silos for each treatment and stored for 21 days. The experiment used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 3 treatments and 4 replications. The treatment consisted of P0: control or the Napier grass silage, P1: Napier grass silage + 3% molasses, and P2: Napier grass silage + 3% molasses and EM4 probiotics. The data were tested by using an analysis of variance and the differences among treatment means were examined by the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test. The variables measured were organoleptic quality including color, odor, texture, presence of fungi, fermentation characteristics including pH, dry matter (DM), and fleigh value as well as the content of Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF) and Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF). The results showed that the molasses and probiotics addition had no significant effect on the color, odor, and texture of the silage (P>0.05) but had a significant effect on the presence of fungi (P<0.01). Molasses and probiotics addition as fermentation additives reduced the pH value and increased the value of fleigh silage (P<0.05) but did not affect the increase of silage dry matter (P>0.05), decreased the NDF content (P<0.05) and had no significant effect on the ADF content. The conclusion of the research was the addition of molasses as an energy source, as well as a combination of molasses and EM4 probiotics can improve the fermentative quality of silage, by decreasing the pH value, increasing the fleigh value, and being able to reduce the NDF content of silage.

Published: November 2023

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of supplementation of African leaf (Vernonia amygdalina) extract on quail blood lipid profile (comprising total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol concentrations) and yolk cholesterol. One hundred twenty female quail aged 8 weeks were fed a supplementary Vernonia amygdalina for 6 weeks. The study was of completely randomized design with 3 treatment and 5 replications. The treatment were no supplementation of African leaf extract to the control and supplementation of African leaf extract at doses of 3 and 6 ml quail/day. The observed variables were those of blood lipid profile (comprising total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol concentrations) and egg yolk cholesterol. Blood lipid profiles data were analyzed of variance and yolk cholesterol concentrations were analyzed descriptively with 1 sample (composite from each replication) for each treatment. The study results showed that African leaf extract significantly (P<0.05) reduced quail blood cholesterol and yolk cholesterol. Yolk cholesterol was reduced by 5.01% and 11.38, respectively, at doses of 3 and 6 ml quail/ day as compared to controls. Blood triglyceride, HDL cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol concentrations were not significantly different from those in controls. From these study results it was concluded that supplementation of African leaf at a dose of 6 mL quail/ day was capable of reducing quail blood cholesterol and yolk cholesterol.

Mengkudu fruit contains antioxidant substances to increase endurance, increase appetite, and reduce fat. This study aims to determine the effect of using noni fruit extract (Morinda Citrifolia) to improve broiler performance. The study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 4 replicates of 5 birds each. Treatments based on the concentration of mengkudu extract (EM) consisted of P0: control, P1: 10% EM, P2 12.5% EM, and P3: 15% EM. The treatment was given when the DOC was 1 day old until 28 days old. The research parameters were feed consumption, body weight gain, and feed conversion. The results showed that the use of noni extract in drinking water had no effect on broiler performance, body weight gain, and feed conversion. The use of mengkudu extract in drinking water from the level of 10 to 15% decreased feed consumption, increased body weight gain, and decreased broiler feed conversion significantly compared to the control. The addition of mengkudu extract in drinking water up to 15% improved broiler performance.
The Hidden Curriculum of Wilderness: Images of Landscape in Canada
Authors: Pente Patti Vera
Published: November 2023

In this article, I offer an analysis of the Canadian relationship with the land as a point of departure for educators to consider personal modes of resistance so that the curricular goals of communal responsibility for the land, and understanding within and across differences can begin and continue to flourish. Because of the reality of increasing encounters with difference in schools, teachers and students need space to examine their epistemological and ontological grounding: how they come to know who they are in the time and place of contemporary life. Relationships with images of the land are cogent aspects of this kind of deep, reflexive inquiry and pursuit of these connections involves critical visual literacy. Through a consideration of some forces that shape the development and maintenance of national identity in Canada, I examine the influences of images of wilderness on contemporary, collective life. In this light, I trace the historical evolution of the landscape work of the Group of Seven painters to the level of national icon. The hidden curriculum of “wilderness nation” is an influence that runs counter to the realities of many students’ learning experiences in Canadian schools. I discuss the ways that the signifier of wilderness maintains hegemonic, discriminatory practices within schools.
Apprenticing Teachers Reading: The Cultural Significance of Juvenile Melodrama
Authors: Radford Linda Anne
Published: November 2023

This article presents a study that reveals the educational significance of melodrama as a moral aesthetic, specifically in relation to work with literacies around identity in the teacher education classroom. Using methods of Lacanian discourse analysis and genre analysis, it unmasks the way two-award winning juvenile historical fictions depend on melodrama to instigate their narrative appeal. It unravels the skein of melodrama’s particularity and complicated affective potential for teachers who want to work in liberating ways with youth fiction in the classroom.

Attention to Place: Learning to Listen
Authors: MacDonald Craig , Wiebe Sean
Published: November 2023

In this paper we set out to explore the speculative function and nature of narrative in autoethnographic research. We consider how place--as locus, milieu, setting in which we narrate the distance between ourselves and events we can remember, places where we can remember being (or, in this case, becoming: becoming authors)--enriches our understanding of autoethnographic research in Education. Determining autoethnography as new frontier and as site for the construction of a way of life, we offer and invite beginnings in literary enjoyment of life through autobiographical writings for the Social Science of Education. We find ourselves digressing, and suggest that this may be a turn our memory takes on its homeward journey. We celebrate life.

The Bohemian Curriculum: Expanding Consciousness, Evolving Culture
Authors: DeLuca Christopher
Published: November 2023

Through an exploration of bohemian character and ideology, I examine the relationship between the construction of individual identity and an individual’s membership in multiple cultural groups. In particular, I examine a theory of cultural association that positions the individual within nested and overlapping cultures, where identity and self-narrative are defined in relation to cultural normativities. I assert that it is this position amongst various cultures that enables individuals to critically examine and broker juxtaposing normativities, a process with the potential to push individuals to rewrite their self-narratives and expand consciousness. But bohemians go further––they outwardly express their opposition of mainstream culture and publicize their self-narratives. By engaging in a community of creative minds, these ‘outsiders’ contribute in unique ways to the evolution of culture by challenging social affordances and pushing social limitations. Drawing upon the lessons learned from bohemianism, the paper concludes with an explicit link to education.  Specifically, the bohemian curriculum calls for a pedagogy that allows for the brokering of normativities within a safe and compassionate learning space that embraces unique learning at both individual and collective levels.
Virage pédagogique : Le cas du développement professionnel en arts visuels
Authors: Andrews Bernard W. , Vignola Marie-Josée
Published: November 2023

Les enseignants de l’élémentaire en Ontario, sont tenus d’offrir des cours en arts, soit en danse, en arts dramatiques, en musique et en arts visuels. L’acquisition d’une compétence élevée dans ces quatre disciplines représente un défi de taille pour eux. Une université bilingue ontarienne et un comité consultatif des arts de l’est de l’Ontario ont collaboré à la mise sur pied d’un programme de développement professionnel en arts visuels visant à répondre à ce besoin. Une étude du programme a su démontrer que les participants ont pu améliorer leur expertise, ont augmenté leur niveau de confiance, ont démontré plus d’efficacité au niveau de leur enseignement, se sont sentis plus à l’aise avec la discipline en général et ont, par conséquent, pris goût d’enseigner cette discipline. L’acquisition des connaissances des enseignantes dans le domaine des arts visuels a été favorisée en s’initiant aux différentes stratégies d’apprentissage utilisées dans l’enseignement des arts visuels, en étant encouragé de façon soutenue à explorer leur propre créativité, en s’engageant dans des activités concrètes, en ayant l’occasion d’observer le processus artistique et en se retrouvant dans un environnement dépourvu de risques et de préjugés. Les participants ont clairement énuméré leurs besoins par rapport à l’amélioration de leurs techniques d’enseignement des arts: l’acquisition d’une meilleure connaissance des habiletés à développer en arts visuels, l’accès à un programme de perfectionnement sur place, l’établissement d’un lien entre les habiletés en arts et les résultats d’apprentissage qui s’y rattachent et la possibilité d’avoir accès au développement professionnel dans toutes les disciplines des arts.
“I Sing the Poet Electric”
Authors: Robertson Judith P.
Published: November 2023

The poetry that follows was born in the slippages between pedagogy and art, memory and desire, chaos and learning. Through the gestures of poetic language, I explore fragilities tied to times of learning, the conflicts of academic identity, and being touched and calling out in turn. Initially performed under the aegis of “I Sing the Poet Electric” at Aprés Vous, a Canadian symposium organized in November 2012 at OISE in tribute to the extraordinary work of Professor Emeritus Roger Simon, the poems are given in loving memory of the ongoing power of affect of his singular demands and teachings.
The teacher-coach relationship- a relationship geared toward deep learning or increased institutional control?
Authors: Cameron David Hagen
Published: November 2023

This paper examines relationship(s) between school coaches and teachers. The paper positions teacher ongoing professional learning and change through this relationship as a contested experience that exposes both qualities of rich learning and new practice as well as power relations and relative disempowerment. The paper is drawn from a larger interpretive case study that followed the experiences of district-based consultants working in a large-scale consultancy-based reform, the Secondary National Strategy (SNS), in London, UK from 2002-2006. The paper uses unstructured interviews to reveal the various and diverse experiences that occurred in schools as a result of the introduction of the consultant-teacher relationship into schools. From these experiences, a complex picture of the coach-teacher relationship appeared. Amongst other things, the SNS consultants provided opportunities for teachers to collaborate and share their work in ways that helped break some of the structural isolation within secondary schools, while also serving to further control teachers’ workspace and classroom activities. The potential for teachers to take on new curriculum, refine their practice and potentially grow new forms of pedagogy within their work will also presumably require district, federation, faculty and government supporting conditions that are responsive to school and teacher workspaces. Viewing an instance of intensive interaction between teachers and coaches provides insights into the challenge of new, refined or adapted forms of pedagogy becoming institutionalized within large, diverse public school systems.
Provoking the very “Idea” of Canadian Curriculum Studies as a Counterpointed Composition
Authors: Ng-A-Fook Nicholas
Published: November 2023

I would like to hold off on writing abstract until requested revisions are made and if article is accepted. But here is an overview for reviewer and editors:In what follows, I provide narrative snapshots of some historical and contemporary works produced by curriculum scholars working at Canadian universities over the last decade. To readers and fellow colleagues who are associated (or not) with our larger Canadian Association of Curriculum Studies community, I apologize in advance for the many oversights, misinterpretations, and/or exclusions of your works. Like Chambers (2003), regionalism informs my understanding of the vast and rich intellectual and topographic characteristics of our field. Part of my methodological strategy for the initial research that informs this essay is to limit my references to articles published in curriculum studies journals between 2000 and 2013 by scholars who worked and/or are working at Canadian universities. From there, I selected key texts others or myself have used to teach an introductory course to Canadian curriculum studies either at the University of Ottawa and/or elsewhere. Therefore the narratives I selected are situated, and thus, partial—as if they could ever be otherwise. At the very least, this bibliography of Canadian curriculum studies might provide a future passageway for readers to revisit, add to, challenge, deconstruct, and play with the composition of our intellectual history anew as another documentary synoptic experimentation. I have attempted to structure this essay into three sections. The first section provides an overview of the key texts I engage with graduate students to support them toward becoming more familiar with the historical contexts of our field of study. The second section examines different institutional structures through which curriculum scholars are mobilizing and sharing their research. The last section discusses the differing contemporary “curricular schools of thought” I take up within graduate courses to develop and support what I continue to call A Canadian Curriculum Theory Project.
Our Curricular Oath
Authors: Christou Theodore , DeLuca Christopher
Published: November 2023

What is curriculum? What unites curriculum theorists, disciplinary practitioners from wide-­‐‑ranging subjects, constructs and practices? How might we be historically minded as we face the present and anticipate the past? Are discursive communities with diverse interests representing classroom practice, theory, teacher education, history, policy, and development, able to converse with each other? Are our conversations intelligible and open to the public at large? If they are not, why bother at all?
We began to pose these questions in our last editorial. We continue to probe at them here. As the editors of JCACS, we are committed to characterizing the multivocal and interdisciplinary nature of the complicated conversation that is curriculum.

Creative Tensions in Place-Conscious Learning: A Triptych
Authors: Greenwood David A.
Published: November 2023

This article was a keynote address delivered at the Curriculum for the

Bioregion Conference on “Fostering an Ethic of Place,” February 7, 2015

at the University of Puget Sound, in Tacoma, Washington. The Curriculum of

the Bioregion Project, led by Jean MacGregor from The Evergreen State

College, is a consortium of over thirty regional universities in the US and

Canada that engages faculty communities in exploring the issues of

sustainability and place-based learning in a broad array of courses and

disciplines. This address aims to narrate a fluid theorization of place as

curriculum that is responsive to the lived experience of everyday life. It

draws on key moments of learning in the author’s biography and presents

these learnings as three short stories. These stories try to convey and

clarify how a theoretical construct such as place is lived as nuance and

contradiction in everyday life, especially when we open to the experience of

others, human and more-than-human. Fostering an ethic of place, the author

suggests, depends on sensitivity to this nuance and the recognition of

parallax.
Two Hands, Two Decks and a Theory in Action: Expanding Thinking Vocabularies of Learners in the 21st Century
Authors: Fisher R. Michael
Published: November 2023

A complex 21st century offers us complex problems. We need more complex ways to think in order to solve them—such as Ken Wilber’s integral thinking. In this article, utilizing historical education referents for reconceptualizing curriculum in order to create more emphasis on meta-cognitive thinking about thinking, I offer a playful arts-based inquiry and performance of a unique curriculum device (a deck of thinking cards) that allows educators and researchers to bring forward their diverse vocabulary of types of thinking. I assert that it is time we passed on this vocabulary to our youth, to access and utilize in their own human potential growth and transformation into integral thinkers.

Poetic Ponderings of Being at Home/Not at Home: (Em)bodiment in the Spaces In-Between
Authors: Hébert Cristyne
Published: November 2023

This poetic inquiry grapples with the notion of home—what it means to be at home in all of its de/generative possibilities of dis/placement, be/longing, and be/coming. Home, as a place that one is from, is explored by way of the tensions in-between place and self, highlighted through a series of personal vignettes. In working through what it means to inhabit the space in-between, the author calls attention to the limits of language for representing the in-between within a text, detailing the constraints of the dash and ampersand and offering the slash as a possible means of representation.

Published: November 2023

This paper examines rhythm and repetition as possibilities for curricular wide-awakeness. When a rhythm is established, an expectation is established with it: patterned beats create momentum, so that subsequent beats arrive to a place that has been prepared by anticipation. But what happens when the rhythm stops? Grounded in the repetition of footsteps that constitute walking, this paper explores how rhythm offers pedagogical possibilities for curricular reconstruction, looking to the way that expectations for the future are informed by habits of listening to the present. It begins by framing the experience of monotony that can cloud sensitivity to daily life. Suggesting that “biographic situations” can be understood as beats in a historical phrase, the paper discusses poly-rhythms as invitations to observe, reflect and participate in the making of (rhythmic) history. Drawing on Deleuze, Pinar and Butler, it emphasizes the productive precarity of rhythm that is imminently falling away into the past, clearing spaces for new possibilities for imagining how circumstances and reactions could be otherwise. It concludes with a call to recognize the complexity of breaking with pre-established patterns of expectation, using sonic experience as practice for the cultivation of historical agency and ontological self-awareness.
unFIX Me in the Red: Re/collections and Re/novations
Authors: Sameshima Pauline
Published: November 2023

In ruminating on authors’ contributions in this issue, Wiebe’s 2014 video, Curricular Fixations and Poetic Tactics, is used as an anchor to consider the limitations of official and Tylerian curriculum, thought of as infrastructure. The need for reconstructing meanings, deliberating ideas, and reflecting in solitude are suggested as means to unfix ourselves from the comforts of canonized bodies of knowledge which eliminate difference and confine possibilities.
Post-Truth Simulacra: Inviting Mutable Meaning-Making
Authors: Sameshima Pauline
Published: November 2023

“Post-Truth Simulacra” is an artwork created to confront post-truth realities and constructions of meaning in response to the articles in this journal issue. An aerial photograph of Miami is used to depict the way humanity has fully operationalized the territory of the barrier islands. Various overlays are used to think about social theorist Jean Baudrillard’s precession of simulacra. Using the lens of Baudrillard's phases of representation from a pedagogical perspective, an analysis of meaning-making processes for each of the articles is discussed. The editorial recognizes the importance of place and autoethnography in the context of Canadian curriculum studies.
Book Review: Place, Being, Resonance: A Critical Ecohermeneutic Approach to Education
Authors: Leggo Carl
Published: November 2023

As a poet, I am always seeking to live poetically, informed and motivated by the rhythms and wisdom of poetry. Michael W. Derby’s Place, Being, Resonance: A critical Ecohermeneutic Approach to Education is a poetic rumination on place and ecological living. With attention to the etymology of ecopoiesis, Michael is making a home for dwelling, and he is calling others to engage in this home-making, where we do not take for granted the cultural norms and processes. Michael understands the efficacy of education for transformation. He understands the mystery of the ineffable, but he also understands the urgency to acknowledge how the ineffable is always dancing a wild tango with the effable. The role of education is to keep the mind, heart, spirit, intuition and imagination supple and nimble, always attuned to other possibilities.
Memory and Creativity: Finding a Place Where a Heart May Swirl
Authors: Cuculiza Brunke Annemarie
Published: November 2023

This article draws from the fieldwork of my MA thesis, “For a Seed to be Born”: Exploring the Links between Emotions and Everyday Creativity in Elementary Teachers´ Classrooms in Peru (Cuculiza, 2017). Informed by collage inquiry (Butler-Kisber, 2008) and memory work (Strong-Wilson, 2015), the fieldwork comprised an arts-based workshop in which participants were asked to explore and reflect on the lived experiences that contributed towards the development of their creativity (Averill, 1999; Runco 2010; Richards 2010). In focusing on the data collected from one of the participants, namely Heart Swirl (pseudonym), I attempt to answer the following questions: In what ways do memory and creativity interconnect? What sorts of spaces are conducive to the investigation of memories in the educational field? In what ways can artistic expression assist memory and creativity? In support of a reflective practice, this article highlights the importance of recognizing how spaces—and the emotions we attach to our memories of these spaces—may be “latent” in our present (Van Manen, 2016). Engaging in play through collage inquiry in an emotionally safe workshop can assist educators in the development of their own creativity and in their ability to become conscious of the ways in which their past lived experiences influence their pedagogy.
From Landfill to Loom: Two Teacher-Researchers Chronicle Their Sustainability Narratives via The Secret Under My Skin
Authors: Morawski Cynthia Marlene , Dunnington Catherine-Laura
Published: November 2023

Traditionally, the responsibility for sustainability education has been assigned to the fields of science, engineering, technology and outdoor education. More recently, English language arts have begun to play an integral role in educating students on the importance of preserving the environment for future generations. Pertinent research, however, indicates that many teachers, including those teaching English, do not feel fully prepared to address sustainability in their classrooms. Such teachers would benefit from either pre-service or in-service support where they would have opportunities to gain more knowledge about sustainability, while also critically inquiring into their related pedagogical beliefs and practices. Before beginning the process of planning and implementing relevant sustainability education experiences for English teachers, it is imperative that we, two teacher educators, first examine our own teaching narratives related to this important topic. Focusing on the dystopian young adult novel, The Secret Under My Skin (McNaughton, 2000), we make generous use of Rosenblatt’s (1995) transactional theory of reader response to critically inquire into past experiences that shape our recurrent views and actions in the classroom. We express our back-and-forth transactions in interspersing sections of poetry, prose and image, including emerging questions to consider as starting points for future engagement with teachers on the integration of sustainability education into the English language arts curriculum at the secondary school level.
Book Review: Indigenous Worldview and the Dehypnosis of the West
Authors: Lewis (Rafiq) Robert Sean
Published: November 2023

R. Michael Fisher’s Fearless Engagement of Four Arrows: The True Story of an Indigenous-Based Social Transformer recounts the life stories and praxis of Indigenous elder and scholar Four Arrows in order to elucidate how fear management can help us to achieve personal and planetary balance. To this end, the process of subliminal “normalized” fear induction is likened to mass hypnosis, and fear management is understood as a process of dehypnosis whereby we are able to use our entrancement by fear to access intuitive and primal knowledge, thus turning fear into a bridge to personal and planetary transformation. Four Arrows’ systematic approach to fear management is framed in terms of a fear vaccine that he calls CAT-FAWN, which refers to making constructive use of fear-induced “concentration activated transformation” (CAT) by consciously orienting ourselves to the holistic interdependence of “fear, authority, words and nature” (FAWN).

Math-a-POLKA: Mathematics as a Place of Loving Kindness and . . .
Authors: Khan Steven , Armstrong Alayne
Published: November 2023

In proposing this special issue, we sought to open a generative and healing conversation in the intersectionality of love, kindness, mathematics, curriculum and education, offering a call that invited the completion of the sentence, "I imagine/want mathematics to be a place of loving kindness and . . . " In their responses, contributors have highlighted the importance of communication in establishing loving kindness through patterns of caring responsiveness, acts of imagination and empathy, and conversations that matter. They envision a place of learning that values aesthetic and affective engagement in mathematical and pedagogical practices that promote capability and resilience among students. As guest editors, we each offer our responses to the prompt, exploring “kind-ness” as belonging and challenging readers to expand that further to the “kin’d-ness” of communal relations of multi-species flourishing, thus reimagining mathematics.
Hands-On: Curricular Bridging Concepts from Maker Spaces Re-Turning to Hand-Made and Many Hands Making Together
Authors: Lee Carol Marie
Published: November 2023

Poet, author and activist Maya Angelou once told Oprah Winfrey, "Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better" (Winfrey, 2011, 2:08). This is practical advice for anyone, including curriculum developers. Angelou was, of course, speaking of forgiveness, fortitude, perseverance and learning. What is interesting for me as an educator is how Angelou went about teaching Winfrey this lesson. Recognizing the power differential between her and the then young Winfrey, she did not begin their relationship by giving advice. She began it by making Winfrey food—a making gesture signifying Winfrey’s equality with the maker. After their meal, Angelou encouraged further communion by sharing poetry made by Paul Laurence Dunbar. The making of things, physical things as in a meal, and/or artistic things as with poetry, is not featured in most Canadian curriculums. Where it does appear, it is framed as optional or vocational; making is something for those with less cognitive aptitude or for artists with marginal value to community commerce. This orientation in curriculums has perhaps led to the under-valuation of “making” as a strategy for relationship building, for reconciliation and for bridging social power divides. My presentation describes a critical discourse analysis I conducted of this popular Angelou quotation and its historical context. I use it to explore insights related to how divides might be bridged through a curriculum that assigns greater value to “making” (Fairclough et al., 2014; van Dijk, 2001; Wodak, 2011; Wodak & Meyer, 2008; Wodak & Reisigl, 2006).
