The study of criminal careers has made it possible, up until now, to identify the mechanisms that lead a person to commit crimes. However, although it is well documented that the vast majority of offenders will one day cease their criminal activities (reference to the crime-curve), only in recent years have scholars focused on the last phase of these criminal careers: the moment at which they end. While desistance processes have been studied for probationers and prisoners, little is known about the desistance process of offenders on conditional sentence. At the present time, there are three main theories of desistance in the literature on which no consensus has been reached. Highlighting the limitations of these theories, this paper offers a new conceptual angle with which to understand desistance from crime. By applying this new conceptual framework to qualitative data collected from 29 offenders on conditional sentence in Quebec, the paper brings to light three separate processes (the convert, the repentant and the rescued) that contribute to stopping criminal behavior.

With increased interest in Latinx geographies there is a need for more in-depth exploration of how Latinx geographers are approaching this work in their own words. In this article, we open a discussion on Latinx geographies that is grounded in our multiple, different, embodied experiences as Latinx geographers who have gathered over the last several years to have conversations, create spaces and build relationships of care and accountability with each other. We reflect on how we each arrived to Latinx geographies, what it means to us, how we do Latinx geographies and what is on the horizon. We refuse singular or imposed definitions, and collectively imagine an expansive, nuanced, and relational Latinx geographies that critically engages with difference, conquest, power, and liberation across Turtle Island and Abya Yala.
Keywords: Latinx geographies, relationality, intersectionality, Chicanx and Latinx feminisms, decolonial geographies, social justice

This article focuses upon the milieu of single-sex schooling within an elite independent school in a Canadian urban centre. This research served as an exploratory and critical examination of single-sex schooling in a specific context, and considered its relevance, pedagogical effectiveness, and ability to meet its purported goals. Using an interpretative methodological framework, and employing a multi-methods case study design, the purpose of this research was to investigate the strengths, limitations, and possibilities of single-sex schooling in a particular educational context as informed by its students, parents of students, graduates, and teachers. We found little evidence to support the idea that single-sex schooling overwhelmingly impacted student academic or social development. Implications for practice at schools offering single-sex schooling are addressed and focus upon the importance of gender-inclusive schooling; the school as the key, rather than the school’s single-sex classes; and addressing boys’ behaviour.

The French, English, and Spanish wrote poems about the “New World” to represent it as known rather than unknown in the interpoetics of epistemic incorporation—to take the unknown of the Americas between and among these European cultures to make them known in terms of earlier knowledge. This article focuses on prefatory poems (paratext) and the main poem (text), and especially the threshold between these poets, their interpoetics. It also focuses on beginnings as another threshold and moving across and on. To recognize the recognizable, anagnorisis within the known framework—that is what the texts of exploration and encounter, including poetry, tend to do—can involve misrecognition. Examining dedicatory poems, lyric, pageant, and epic, and how the known and the unknown work in the poetics of representation, this article argues that the interpoetics is between poems, between paratext and text, work and world, a mimesis that involves poems begetting other poems and representing reality.

Often, during or after crises, the impulse of urbanisation and tourist activity intensifies the processes of nature exploitation. In this paper we address the protest against urban-tourist development and the commodification of nature on the island of Tenerife through the processes of green and grey grabbing, trying to illustrate them through three examples: a mega-port in Granadilla de Abona and two tourist infrastructures (a luxury hotel in La Tejita and a large luxury residential housing complex in Puertito de Adeje). These three interventions generate an important social mobilisation and repulsion against the destruction of socio-natural resources. Based on participant observation, dialogue with activists involved in the protest and the administration, and media coverage, we analyse the strategies of green and grey grabbing on the island. Their relationship to the protests and the idea of rights to nature and to the island allow for a better understanding of complex society-nature relations and their emancipatory potential. We understand these two concepts as the control of the societies inhabiting these places over decision-making and natural resources, but also as a framework towards a potential degrowth and redistributive political project oriented towards an ecosocial transition.

As a result of recent developments in AI, data-based school governance is undergoing profound changes in its implementation, the consequences of which are difficult to anticipate in detail. This is particularly the case for school systems such as Quebec's which have been late to embark on data-based school governance and whose ins and outs are largely still to come. Other school systems, notably the Anglo-Saxon countries and some Western European countries, are more advanced along this path. These studies offer interesting insights to better understand current changes in school governance, as well as the issues at stake and their consequences for school systems, and to guide managers in their implementation of data-based school governance, which is particularly timely in the case of the Quebec school system since it is in its infancy. The aim of this paper is to provide a synthesis of what we know about data-based school governance in the age of AI.

Following a recommendation from the Charbonneau Commission, the National Assembly of Quebec passed the “Act to facilitate the disclosure of wrongdoings relating to public bodies” in December 2016 which was approved in May 2017. Although representing a major step forward for whistleblower protection, the Act has faced several criticisms in recent years, highlighting the shortcomings of the associated plan, which has proven, in some respects, to be insufficient to uphold its spirit. It is to address these limitations that Bill 53, “An Act to enact the Act respecting protection against reprisals related to the disclosure of wrongdoing and to amend other legislative provisions”, was approved by the National Assembly on May 29, 2024. In the following pages, the criticisms aimed at the act passed in 2016 are reviewed, and the observations on Bill 53, which will be effective on November 30, 2024, are then presented. Thus, despite advances for whistleblower protection, it is shown that the bill also still has persistent shortcomings.
