Expanding the Boundaries of Political Solidarity: The 9/11 Generation's Understandings of the Enduring Post-9/11 Environment and American War Resisters of the Iraq War
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study investigates why the 9/11 Generation in Canada – a cohort of Muslim and/or Arab youth who came of age during the aftermath of the September 11th, 2001 attacks – can envision political solidarity with American war resisters of the Iraq War. Guided by interpretative phenomenological analysis, qualitative interviews with five members of the 9/11-G explored how critical reflections on their lived experiences, sparked by their engagement with the war resisters’ testimonies, enabled this cohort to rationalize why political solidarity is possible with these former soldiers. This research identified three pathways that rendered this solidarity as possible: humanization through fellow feeling and implicated, layered subjectivity; and additional rationales outside of the humanizing realm, such as secular criticism, universal unfreedom, and strategic considerations. These findings highlight why solidarity can emerge across complex divides, offering crucial insights into the necessity of a reimagined collective resistance in an enduring post-9/11 environment.

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.
