I describe my visits to the Black Cultural Centre and the former city of Africville, both of which are well worth visiting. I mention Faith Nolan, a Canadian folk and jazz singer-songwriter of mixed African, Mi’kmaw, and Irish heritage who works to prevent the erasure of Black experiences and contributions in Canada.]]> https://www.kathryntoure.net/2023/08/10/two-rich-days-of-solo-travel-in-halifax/feed/ 0 https://www.kathryntoure.net/2022/02/28/lucy-jacobs-stewart-midwife-extraordinaire-of-liberty-missouri/ https://www.kathryntoure.net/2022/02/28/lucy-jacobs-stewart-midwife-extraordinaire-of-liberty-missouri/#comments Mon, 28 Feb 2022 19:31:44 +0000 admin https://www.kathryntoure.net/?p=2018 Lucy Jacobs Stewart (1850s - 1939) is part of a long tradition of midwifery in Missouri and among many guiding hands in the tapestry of life in Liberty. Neighbors sent for Granny Stewart, as she was called, to assist laboring women. We do not know how many babies she caught, but she was a trusted member of the community and was consulted on a variety of family issues, at a time when 50% of births in the United States occurred at home, assisted by a midwife.]]> https://www.kathryntoure.net/2022/02/28/lucy-jacobs-stewart-midwife-extraordinaire-of-liberty-missouri/feed/ 1 https://www.kathryntoure.net/2021/01/28/cross-sectoral-approaches-to-ending-gender-based-violence-art-activism-research/ https://www.kathryntoure.net/2021/01/28/cross-sectoral-approaches-to-ending-gender-based-violence-art-activism-research/#comments Thu, 28 Jan 2021 19:25:19 +0000 admin https://www.kathryntoure.net/?p=1936 The Human Rights Institute and the Mailman School of Public Health's Global Health Justice and Governance Program host an interdisciplinary conversation between researchers, artists, and activists about approaches to ending gender-based violence (GBV), and the increase in GBV during the COVID-19 pandemic. ]]> https://www.kathryntoure.net/2021/01/28/cross-sectoral-approaches-to-ending-gender-based-violence-art-activism-research/feed/ 1 https://www.kathryntoure.net/2016/12/05/these-numerique-appropriation-pedagogique-des-technologies-de-l-information-et-de-la-communication-tic-par-les-educateurs-ouest-africains/ https://www.kathryntoure.net/2016/12/05/these-numerique-appropriation-pedagogique-des-technologies-de-l-information-et-de-la-communication-tic-par-les-educateurs-ouest-africains/#comments Mon, 05 Dec 2016 07:48:32 +0000 admin http://www.kathryntoure.net/?p=1557 Cette recherche examine comment et pourquoi les éducateurs en Afrique de l’Ouest, au Mali en particulier, s’approprient pédagogiquement les technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) et avec quels effets.

Behind them is all they have learned, and before them lies so much they do not know and that invites exploration. They accompany their students and invite others to join them in this journey. They do their best to learn, deepen their teaching, and perhaps also, through their example and their actions, encourage the revitalization of the school system. ]]> https://www.kathryntoure.net/2016/11/01/from-the-atlantic-to-the-virtual-ocean/feed/ 0 https://www.kathryntoure.net/2016/09/03/appropriation-pedagogique-des-technologies-de-l-information-et-de-la-communication-tic-par-les-educateurs-ouest-africains-livre-par-kathryn-toure/ https://www.kathryntoure.net/2016/09/03/appropriation-pedagogique-des-technologies-de-l-information-et-de-la-communication-tic-par-les-educateurs-ouest-africains-livre-par-kathryn-toure/#comments Sat, 03 Sep 2016 16:58:32 +0000 admin http://www.kathryntoure.net/?p=1476 Ce livre examine comment et pourquoi les éducateurs en Afrique de l’Ouest, au Mali en particulier, s’approprient pédagogiquement les technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) et avec quels effets.
