As a work in progress, the Tribesourcing Southwest Film Project seeks to decolonize midcentury US educational films about the Native peoples of the Southwestern United States by recording counter-narrations from cultural insiders. These films originate from the American Indian Film Gallery, a collection awarded to the University of Arizona (UA) in 2011. Made in the mid-twentieth century for the US K–12 educational and television markets, these 16 mm Kodachrome films reflect mainstream cultural attitudes of the day. The fully saturated-color visual narratives are for the most part quite remarkable, although the male "voice of God" narration often pronounces meaning that is inaccurate or disrespectful. At this historical distance, many of these films have come to be understood by both Native community insiders and outside scholars as documentation of cultural practices and lifeways—and, indeed, languages—that are receding as practitioners and speakers pass on. The Tribesourcingfilm.com project seeks to rebalance the historical record through collaborative digital intervention, intentionally shifting emphasis from external perceptions of Native peoples to the voices, knowledges, and languages of the peoples represented in the films by participatory recording of new narrations for the films. Native narrators record new narrations for the films, actively decolonizing this collection and performing information redress through the merger of vintage visuals and new audio.

Media depictions of Indigenous people have a long history of perpetuating racist, stereotyping, and victim blaming discourse. At the same time, recent scholarship asserts that news media is shifting its stance towards equity-groups involved in police-based mental health emergency response (MHER). Yet, few have sought to determine how these frames apply to police-based MHER for Indigenous people in Canada. Using an intersectional approach accounting for Indigeneity and mental illness, 168 Canadian media articles published between 1970 and 2022 were collated and analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Two overarching themes, affective realities and harms created by police involvement and normative practices perpetuating police impunity were found, as were several sub-themes. Implications for the role and function of news media in supporting the health and social policy needs of Indigenous groups are discussed.

For this study, I led thirty-two study participants on a 1.5-mile community “data walk” in Long Beach, California, to gain insights into the trust and comfort levels residents experience when encountering smart technologies that track their movements and capture their image. During the walk, study participants used a custom mobile app to map and photograph each smart technology observed. Participants then responded to prompts intended to gauge their perceptions of various smart technologies including surveillance cameras, public Wi-Fi routers, and license plate readers. The analysis—which relied on theoretical frameworks grounded in cultures of trust, surveillance studies, and contextual integrity—found that study participants are generally unaware of the ubiquitous nature of surveillance technologies deployed by both public and private entities, and they can only speculate on how personal information collected is stored, shared, and analyzed. Volunteers also expressed concern about the discriminatory impacts of smart technologies, particularly those used by law enforcement. The findings advocate for structural change, shifting the burden of personal data protection off users themselves.

Increasingly, researchers are encouraged to produce plain language summaries (PLSs) as a means of making research accessible to lay audiences. Canadian Science Publishing is a scholarly publisher of 22 journals that offers authors the option of creating PLSs. This article investigates how often authors who publish with Canadian Science Publishing take up that opportunity, and considers what factors might encourage or discourage their decision to produce a PLS. The article ends with a list of four recommendations that could promote increased production of PLSs in journals published by Canadian Science Publishing or other publishers.
