Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In this paper, I reflect on my experiences growing up in the suburbs and how I connected with spatial texts on television and in novels while being homebound. I discuss how Canadian youth television and literary texts offer those who are spatially limited or less mobile (such as suburban children) to observe how others navigate spatial difference and injustice, and reflect on their own relationships with place. For myself, the Degrassi series and Ready or Not provided insight into how a familiar place (Toronto) can be represented, especially when coupled with children navigating class and mobility. Laurence Yep’s historical fiction novels depict early Chinese American experiences, and similarly offered an understanding of how child protagonists spatially respond to discrimination and injustice. These reflections, in turn, allowed me to contemplate my own sense of place and while homebound, not feel as isolated.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
