    Ce rapport présente les résultats du sondage en ligne effectué dans le cadre du projet Chaque prof sur les perceptions et les expériences des éducatrices et éducateurs canadiens de la maternelle à la 12e année en matière d’« éducation inclusive des personnes LGBTQ ». Le sondage englobait les programmes d’études, les politiques et les pratiques comportant de l’information positive et exacte sur les personnes lesbiennes, gaies, bisexuelles, transgenres, bispirituelles et queers (ou allosexuelles), ainsi que les questions et enjeux reliés à la diversité sexuelle et de genre (aussi appelée « éducation inclusive de la diversité sexuelle et de genre »). Ce type d’éducation est axé sur l’inclusion d’élèves qui, autrement, seraient marginalisés dans des milieux scolaires habituellement hostiles aux élèves lesbiennes, gais, bisexuels, transgenres, bispirituels, queers ou en questionnement quant à leur orientation sexuelle ou leur identité de genre (LGBTQ), ou encore, aux élèves ayant des parents, des amis ou d’autres proches LGBTQ, ainsi qu’aux élèves hétérosexuels cisgenres pouvant être affectés directement ou indirectement par l’homophobie, la biphobie ou la transphobie. Le sondage a été mené auprès de milliers d’éducatrices et d’éducateurs au cours de l’année scolaire qui s’est terminée en juin 2013. La phase du projet portant sur les entrevues et les groupes de discussion du projet Chaque prof fera l’objet d’un rapport en 2016."Nous tenons à souligner l’appui financier que nous avons reçu du Conseil de recherches en sciences humaines du Canada (subvention ordinaire de recherche de trois ans no 410-2011— 0845, concours 2010), de la Manitoba Teachers’ Society, de l’Université de Winnipeg et du Legal Research Institute de l’Université du Manitoba. Nous avons également reçu l’appui et des conseils du Fonds Égale Canada pour les droits de la personne, qui avait également financé le premier Sondage sur le climat national sur l’homophobie, la biphobie et la transphobie dans les écoles canadiennes. Nous remercions sa directrice Helen Kennedy, son directeur de la recherche, de la politique et du développement, Ryan Dyck, les membres du Comité de l’éducation Joan Beecroft, Jane Bouey et Miriam Greenblatt, ainsi que sa présidente, Sue Rose.

    The Every Teacher Project on LGBTQ-inclusive Education in Canada's K-12 Schools: Final Report

    This report presents the results of the online survey phase of the “Every Teacher Project” on Canadian K-12 educators’ perceptions and experiences of “LGBTQ-inclusive” education, including curriculum, policies, and practices that include positive and accurate information about lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, Two Spirit, and queer people as well as issues related to gender and sexual diversity (also known as GSD-inclusive education). This type of education is inclusive of students who would otherwise be marginalized by school climates that are typically hostile to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, Two Spirit, or queer students, or students questioning their sexual orientation or gender identity (LGBTQ); to students who have LGBTQ parents, friends or other loved ones; and to cisgender heterosexual (CH) students who can also be directly or indirectly affected by homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia. The project surveyed thousands of educators in the school year ending June 2013. We will report on the focus group phase of the Every Teacher Project in 2016."We ... acknowledge the financial support of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (through a three-year Standard Research Grant, 2010 competition, #410-2011-0845), and of The Manitoba Teachers’ Society, The University of Winnipeg, and the Legal Research Institute at the University of Manitoba. Egale Canada Human Rights Trust, which funded the First National Climate Survey on Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia, has also supported and advised the Every Teacher Project; many thanks to Executive Director Helen Kennedy, Director of Research Policy and Development Ryan Dyck, and Education Committee members Joan Beecroft, Jane Bouey, Miriam Greenblatt, and chair Sue Rose.

    The cancer's Margins project: access to knowledge and Its mobilization by LGBQ/T cancer patients

    Get PDF
    Sexual and/or gender minority populations (LGBQ/T) have particular cancer risks, lower involvement in cancer screening, and experience barriers in communication with healthcare providers. All of these factors increase the probability of health decisions linked with poor outcomes that include higher levels of cancer mortality. Persistent discrimination against, and stigmatization of, LGBQ/T people is reflected in sparse medical curriculum addressing LGBQ/T communities. Marginalization makes LGBQ/T persons particularly reliant on knowledge derived from online networks and mainstream media sources. In what is likely the first nationally-funded and nation-wide study of LGBQ/T experiences of cancer, the Cancer's Margins project (www.lgbtcancer.ca) conducted face-to-face interviews with 81 sexual and/or gender minority patients diagnosed and treated for breast and/or gynecological cancer in five Canadian provinces and the San Francisco Bay area (US). With specific attention to knowledge access, sharing, and mobilization, our objective was to document and analyze complex intersectional relationships between marginalization, gender and sexuality, and cancer health decision-making and care experiences. Findings indicate that cancer care knowledge in online environments is shaped by cisnormative and heteronormative narratives. Cancer knowledge and support environments need, by contrast, to be designed by taking into account intersectionally diverse models of minority identities and communities

    Voices from the Margins: Experiences of Street-Involved Youth In Winnipeg

    Get PDF
    In this study we sought to hear the voices of street-involved youth. We wanted to give them a forum through which to tell their stories. We wanted to know: 1) How they came to be involved with the street? 2) What their lives were like at that point in time? 3) What things made life on the street easier or harder? 4) What might facilitate their transition off the street and keep them off? A key feature of this study is that it was conducted from the perspective of street experienced youth. We interviewed twelve young people who had been involved with the street at some point in their lives. Their stories highlight their personal struggles to survive and transcend the harsh realities of the street. The data for this study come from their narratives about their experiences. In addition, four former street youth served as research interns who assisted in the development of the research project and with interviewing
