between attending and not attending graduate school i ve decided to pursue the phd and working on the proposal is both exciting and frustrating i m working with vague ideas about women violence and the internet but since we know that this is a huge issue it s taking a long time to get a focus and research question i m kicking around ideas about why gendered violence occurs online cultures of resistance against the harassment why certain individuals become targets victims and their agency lessig s four pillars of internet governance norms laws architecture market the role of the internet in constructing women s bodies identities consciousness this taken from romano s piece below and of course what to do about it all but first understanding it from a philosophical perspective maybe i

quotes 2 november 2008 candace 1 comment last week uzma shakir gta activist visited windsor to talk about activism feminism islam immigration community and violence against women racism sexism islamophobia sharia law and the imperiled muslim woman i kept a running list of quotes from the talks i attended here they are kids don t drop out of school they re pushed out because the knowledge is not meaningful multiculturalism is not just food music and dance i call it sari and samosa syndrome we re not talking about power let s talk about my right to wear hijab about power and privilege activism is not about convenience i cannot be antiracist all day and then go home at 5 o clock put my feet up and be a bigot as a white person you can walk away when you get tired about talking about white privilege a person of colour cannot walk away not all rappers are about guns and bitches i can speak english the gift of 200 years of colonialism you come out of your mother s womb speaking english i had an arranged marriage i arranged it myself my family turns into a nuclear family by virtue of immigration canada i was liberated in pakistan based on my class and family support in canada i feel very oppressed marginalized here i had no daycare and all i can get is a shitty job contract work is precarious employment it is contingent temporary mothering as a new immigrant is about going through hell and having no one to talk to i do parenting workshops to deconstruct the other parenting workshops social justice is hard work and messy work language is not neutral language is political the sharia hysteria if you want it you re a neanderthal if you don t want it you are a liberal muslims do not have a monopoly on oppressing women i don t get offended anymore if i m continually insulted i am frozen into inaction if i am the standard and you are different from me then i have the power when you get tired of anti racism and social justice remember those who cannot walk away you ve got to stand with them i don t mind being an immigrant but my children were born here their imagination of home begins and end in canada i can go home to pakistan but this is home to my children pakistan has been colonized for 200 years but the colonizers went home they left behind their cronies to watch over us but in canada the colonizers never went home i didn t know i was being a feminist until i came here a week ago i thought i was just a woman who liked to fight we have to fight together we have been marginalized and oppressed and if we re not careful we re going to marginalize and oppress someone else everyone wants to save the muslim woman some want to put the hijab on me and save me some want to take hijab off me and save me some want to bomb us and save me just give me a break man i can save myself i don t need western imperialism to save me or western feminism riding on the coattails of western imperialism to save me i can save myself just because we are doing social justice does not mean we are socially just we immigrants and refugees don t come here to live in poverty we don t come for the weather and we don t come for the food we bring the food we come for the democracy to hurt someone is to sin to watch someone else get hurt and do nothing is a greater sin if you are a man you can be a feminist if you are a man you must be a feminist because if you re not you re part of the problem i wish all i had to worry about was my son s baggy pants and who he dates i have to worry if he s going to get arrested if he s playing basketball out with his black and arab friends this is part of mothering for black mothers aboriginal mothers and now it is true for muslim mothers my children keep me grounded and i keep them political more about uzma s visit here sari and samosa syndrome and here uzma shakir is spending this week in windsor sari and samosa syndrome 24 october 2008 candace 7 comments sari and samosa syndrome coined by uzma shakir and shared at one of the stops on her visit to windsor this week this is what happens too often when people attempt to organize multicultural events people are invited to wear their traditional cultural dress and serve ethnic food there s music and dancing and before you know it we re all diverse and tolerant and there s no more racism right shakir argues that these are not transformative anti racist events without a discussion about power equality and social justice real issues what are we changing windsor is guilty of this multiculturalism is more than carousel of nations multiculturalism is not a weekend field trip who at carousel talks about poverty about discrimination violence about a woman s choice to wear or not wear hijab what about forced marriage having years of education rejected being unable to transfer skills and training about being both an engineer and a cab driver two years ago when i sat at a table at a social justice conference with a bunch of high school teachers this is exactly what i witnessed in attempt to deal with their frustrations with racism in the classroom at their school and a desire to recognize the diversity in the school s population they set out to plan a sari and samosa event i m sure it was very successful too so and so was a dancer so and so could bring food it s so delicious you know but the event was planned to be entertainment not issue focused ah well who doesn t like a samosa now and then and at a elementary school last year the local grade school sent home information about their multicultural fair bring in an ethnic food to share and to tell about your culture sorry but culture is a lot more than food food is something we share a point where we can recognize similarities not a place to emphasize difference why are we so afraid of the dialogue people new research methods book by alison jagger 23 october 2008 candace 1 comment alison jagger is professor of philosophy and women s studies at university of colorado boulder her latest book looks great and useful just methods an interdisciplinary feminist reader from the description feminist research is a growing tradition of inquiry that aims to produce knowledge that is not biased by inequitable assumptions about gender and related categories such as class race religion sexuality and nationality just methods is designed for upper level undergraduate and graduate students in a range of disciplines rather than being concerned with particular techniques of inquiry the interdisciplinary readings in this book address broad questions of research methodology they are designed to help researchers think critically and constructively about the epistemological and ethical implications of various approaches to research selection and research design evidence gathering techniques and publication of results a key theme running through the readings is the complex inter relationship between social power and inequality on the one hand and the production of knowledge on the other a second and related theme is the inseparability of research projects and methodologies from ethical and political values emphasis mine uzma shakir is spending this week in windsor 22
