Making Politics and Creating Spaces: A Study of the 2012 Québec Student Strikes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This work uses historical, theoretical, and experiential lenses to examine the Québec Student Strikes of 2012.The first section of the work offers a condensed history of the evolution of post-secondary education (PSE) in Québec followed by a parallel review of student activism.The second chapter focuses on different conceptions of political and public space.By focusing on public space and the university as a changing spatial milieu and space of politics, I underline the multiplicity and polyvalence of space, and the ways in which people like students act upon and within spaces to renegotiate and reclaim them.The final chapter presents conversations from seven interviews with individuals who participated in the strike actions followed by theoretical reflections that relate back to the central themes of citizenship, representation, and political action and autonomy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
