Abstract
"Towards a Global Community: Theoretical and Practical
Perspectives on Education" was a timely and provocative theme
that inspired many at the 2008 Queen's University Graduate
Studies in Education Symposium. The interdisciplinary
symposium, organized annually by Queen's graduate students,
provides students with the opportunity to present their research
findings or works-in-progress to their peers. This collection of
papers from the 2008 Symposium is indicative of the high calibre
of work presented at the conference and illustrative of the
academic dedication of the student co-chairs of the event,
Jasmattie Yamraj and Hana Saab.
The papers in this collection were reviewed by academic
scholars from across the country. While the reviewers were
informed that the papers were written by graduate students, they
were aware that the intent was to publish papers of quality for this
peer-reviewed journal. Many students were asked to make
revisions based upon the reviewers' recommendations, and some
were notified that their papers could not be accepted. The papers
published in this journal are the ones recommended for publication
through this blind preview process.
While not all of the papers presented here deal overtly
with the symposium theme, to varying degrees all consider the
deep roots of theory that guide the practices of education.
The study, by Christelle Agboka explores the themes of
life history, the centrality of motherhood, and spiritual grounding
that emerged from analyses in research data collected through
interviews with four Christian established career women.
Focusing upon the development of a respectful research
methodology for non-Aboriginal researchers in Aboriginal
contexts, Marian Archibald highlights various Indigenous
methodologies, specifically two models which mediate western
research paradigms in light of Indigenous needs, values and issues.
Ted Christou's essay justifies the use of Kliebard's historical
framework for an examination of public discourses on
"progressive" education in Ontario between the two world wars.
