Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In Practice 4 Melissa, Sandra, and Janelle invite deeper awareness of practitioner positionality within colonial relationships. Janelle illustrates the All My Relations Teaching through an Indigenous, community-based, berry monitoring project, grounded the chapter in relationality and relationship to land and place. Throughout the chapter the authors invite readers to honour their shared humanity and interconnectedness. They reflect on how counselling, psychology, and other healthcare professions came to a place where they risk doing more harm than good, because of their roots in colonial histories and ideologies. They examine critically the colonial and individualist worldviews and the persistence of coloniality and white supremacy. The authors draw on the examples of ecological violence and racial violence as continued legacies of coloniality. They invite readers to consider their own positionality with colonial relationships as part of their own consciousness-raising. They propose that by recognizing our interconnectedness—as human beings, clients, students, practitioners, and educators, and as shared inhabitants of the earth—we can lean into relational accountability. The chapter ends with an invitation to action: coming together in solidarity to advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice in our professions and our society. The chapter is enhanced through the practice illustrations provided by the following co-authors. ● Zuraida Dada offers a series of videos throughout the book. In the first two videos in this chapter, she shares her insights on the relationship between apartheid in South Africa and the colonization of Indigenous Peoples in Canada as well as the legacy of colonization in Canada. ● Lisa Gunderson provides insights into racialized violence in Canada from the perspective of a Black woman who grew up in the US and immigrated to Canada as an adult. She includes important tips on cultural responsivity for counsellors working with racialized minorities.

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.
