Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Long recognized as a leader in critical literacy research, Canada is perhaps unique because of how critical literacy remains entangled with the curriculum. Simultaneously, Canada continues to contend with ongoing issues related to systemic racism, settler colonialism, and the rise of populist nationalism, creating urgent sites for critical literacy curriculum and scholarship. In this chapter, we draw together the work of foundational critical literacy scholars alongside official curricular documents and illustrate how, as Vivian Maria Vasquez (2004/2014) wrote, “deliberate attempts to expose inequity in the classroom and society need to become part of our everyday classroom life” (p. xv). Ultimately, we emphasize the tensions Canadians oriented toward critical literacies encounter and offer future directions for this work.

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.
