Dr. Chartrand is Associate Professor in the Sociology Department at Bishop’s University, Québec. She is also Adjunct Professor in the Department of Criminology at the University of Ottawa. Her general research background and interests include penal and carceral politics, modern day colonialism, grassroots justices, and collaborative methodologies. Dr. Chartrand recently received a Fonds de recherche du Québec – Société et culture (FRQSC) emerging scholars grant to collect and document the initiatives and strategies of Indigenous families and communities to address missing and murdered Indigenous women and explore alternative grassroots justices. Her other current research project traces the historical links between penal and colonial logics to understand the incarceration of Indigenous peoples in Canada today. Other research has included pedagogy and abolition, women and prison release, institutional violence, and prison education. Dr. Chartrand has over 15 years of experience working in the non-profit, government, and voluntary sectors. This includes advocating for and with women and children, Indigenous communities, and prisoners. She is the founding member of the Centre of Justice Exchange; a collective of academics, students, and individuals who seek to advance more inclusive justices. Dr. Chartrand is the Prisoner Struggles Editor for the Journal of Prisoners on Prison and sits on the Editorial Boards of the Annual Review of Interdisciplinary Justice Research, Canadian Journal of Criminal Justice, Decolonization of Criminology and Justice, and the Journal of Prisoners on Prison.

Dr. Cole, who specializes in sociological theory, joined the department in 2010. His current research develops a Critical Realist reading of Pierre Bourdieu via an empirical analysis of musical “prosumers.” He is currently working on several articles and plans on completing a book, Sound Judgements, over the next three years.
An award winning teacher, Dr. Cole teaches Social theory, the Introduction to Sociology, and Social Problems. His courses aim to simultaneously define and demarcate Sociology as a social science while helping students see their world from a distinctly Sociological Perspective.

Dr. Donnan has brought the new areas of sustainability, cultural globalization and indigenous societies into the course offerings of Bishop’s Sociology. This is a broad area of study based in a political economy perspective but also drawing from other fields including women’s studies, political geography, post-colonial theory and native studies. Courses that she teaches include: Post Colonial Study; Canadian First Nations; Globalism and Culture; Sustainable Societies; and Advanced Post Colonial Theory. She has published in the areas of gender and academe; social sustainability and the sociology of gender. She is also working on a book: Diversity in Homelessness: A Sustainable, Multi-scalar Strategy for Ending a Canadian Urban Crisis. Dr. Donnan completed her Ph.D. in 2004 and has taught at Bishop’s since 1999.
Issues of diversity and inclusion also figure prominently in a book Dr. Donnan is writing about homelessness in Canada’s urban centres. The purpose of this book is to advance knowledge about development of long-term, sustainable solutions to the housing crisis in Canada. The strategy for this project involves analysis of patterns of disadvantage which significantly shape the likelihood of becoming homeless. That analysis reveals how the causes of homelessness are structural rather than individual. Key issues addressed are: the scale of social responsibility, responsiveness to diversity including, aboriginal people, recent immigrants, women, single parents, large families, and inclusivity of planning and decision-making processes in the development of housing policy.
Another research project of Dr. Donnan’s centres on the unique housing market for, and needs characteristic of Aboriginals in Winnipeg. While First Nations people constitute less than 10 per cent of Winnipeg’s overall population, they constitute 60 to 70 per cent of the homeless population within that city and face unique problems within their communities. A regional equity framework characterized by a commitment to including aboriginal perspectives within the process of building solutions, and racial equity in the outcome of program development will make this an original response to those problems. Dr. Donnan is doing a case study dealing with all of the housing and shelter challenges of First Nations peoples in Winnipeg with the intention of getting beyond the oversights of the mainstream housing programs which are so clearly not meeting the needs of that particular segment of Winnipeg’s population. The data collection process will involve textual documents, interviews and an active-research consultation process.

Dr. Cheryl Gosselin has been teaching in Sociology, Women’s Studies and Classics, at Bishop’s since 1990. While doing so she completed her Doctoral Thesis in 2003: Vers l’avenir. Quebec Women’s Politics Between 1945 and 1967: Feminist, Maternalist, and Nationalist Links. Her teaching includes Canadian and Quebec Societies, several courses in the area of Social Justice (including race, ethnicity, sexualities, women and globalization and gender), and theory and methodology. Her research interests include Quebec women’s history and feminism, and the documentation of women’s oral histories from the Eastern Townships. She has received several grants for this work from the Eastern Townships Research Centre. Dr. Gosselin also sits on the Board of Directors of the Lennoxville and District Women’s Centre and the Eastern Townships Research Centre.
Dr. Gosselin’s PhD dissertation, entitled VERS L’AVENIR: Québec Women’s Politics Between 1945 and 1967: Feminist, Maternalist and Nationalist Links, focused on the political and social activism of Quebec women. It explored the links between the women’s movement and nationalism in Quebec. The research revealed how women’s groups used the nationalist causes of Quebec’s Quiet Revolution to advance their own gendered interests, such as demanding social and political equality, welfare rights for mothers, and more working opportunities for married women. Far from being incompatible, feminism and nationalism combined to allow women to take part in the social mobilization processes at work during the 1950s and 1960s in Quebec.
Dr. Gosselin’s other areas of research involve the lives of English-speaking women in the Eastern Townships. Using oral testimonies, she is studying the lives of women from the past as well as the present and their work to effect social change to improve women’s status. She has studied the experiences of some of the first female students to graduate from Bishop’s, the working conditions of schoolteachers in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, volunteerism among churchwomen, and the social engagements of local branches of the Women’s Institutes and the Cercles de Fermières. Her most recent project explores how globalization and economic restructuring are affecting the socioeconomic status and well-being of Eastern Townships women.

I have begun a book about the Lennoxville and District Women’s Centre. It explores the 25 year history of the Centre and its role as advocate for English-speaking women’s rights in Québec’s Eastern Townships. The book will consist of interviews with members, a project funded by the ETRC in the summer of 2004, and a content analysis of the Centre’s archives. I plan to expand this into a research project that explores women who are part of minority language groups throughout Canada and how this marginalized status affects their activism.

In the Fall of 2008, Prof. Hunting organized a collaborative project between WOM101a and local Canadian Federation of University Women Grannies as part of the Grandmothers to Grandmothers project for the Stephen Lewis foundation.
Barbara Hunting joined the department in 2006 having recently completed her thesis The Social Challenge of Laptops in the Learning Environment at Concordia University in Montreal. She is presently publishing from this thesis. Her primary pedagogic research interest involves linkages between old and new methodologies of teaching. One part of this research extends to global activities via communications and learning projects. There are political, global, family, and socio-economic fields of research to be considered within this framework of the sociology. Beyond this she is currently examining globalization and its implications for women’s political action around the world. She is also researching the media representation of the hypersexuality of adolescent girls.

There are global and business implications that have blended themselves into the structure of education due to constrained budgets in this case creating a politics of technology).
