Geography in America at the Dawn of the 21st Century, 2004

The Values, Justice and Ethics Specialty Group (VJESG) was formed in 1997 to respond to a felt need for geographers to focus on both the ethical issues that inform our academic work, and the ways in which that work is connected to larger societal issues. The concerns of the group have been less with a particular range of topics or approaches than with the ethical questions that cut across the entire discipline, on the assumption that such questions are bounded neither by subject matter nor by theoretical constraints. The group was formed at a time when questions of whether geographers should be concerned about the moral, e...

Using interviews and policy analysis, we document the process. Understanding local variations in the backlash phenomenon is important to strategies to combat oppression and systemic discrimination. RÉSUMÉ La politique sur l'équité en matière d'emploi de la Colombie Britannique a passé par un contre-coup de derrière corrosif, comparée à la politique plus classique de l'Ontario, ou le contre-coup de devant sous un changement de régime néolibéral similaire. En nous servant d'entrevues et d'analyse de politique, nous documentons ce processus. Comprendre les variations locales du phénomène de contre-coup est important aux stratégies pour combattre l'oppression et la discrimination systémique.
