Following the French-language workshop titled “Qu'arrive-t-il après le doctorat? Défis, pratiques et stratégies pour affronter l'‘après-thèse'” organized during the 55e Congrès de la Société québécoise de science politique and the 7e Congrès international des associations francophones de science politique by Professor Sule Tomkinson, this paper unpacks the challenges and opportunities for doctoral students wanting to secure a tenure-track professor job and begin a career in higher education. Specifically, it offers a series of tactics enabling students to position themselves strategically as they complete their doctoral studies and prepare to enter the academic job market.

Postdocs are increasingly popular among PhD candidates and newly-minted PhDs in political science who wish to pursue an academic career in a context where many are called, but few are chosen. How can one secure postdoctoral funding and complete a successful postdoc? I answer this question based on my personal experience. After having presented the various types of postdocs, I discuss the “pitfalls” relative to the candidate, the research project, and the funding application. I conclude on a positive note by outlining ambitious yet achievable objectives for postdoctoral researchers.

This paper presents the role of the most important spiritual helper of contemporary Kaingang shamans, an enigmatic Italian figure known in Southern Brazil as Saint João Maria or “o Monge”, the Monk. The latter is Giovanni Maria de Agostini, an itinerant Italian monk, who traveled through the Americas between 1838 and 1869. Though the Catholic Church never canonized him, he is still today a very influential religious figure in Southern Brazil. Historically, his name is related to a messianic movement known as “Guerra do Contestado”, which occurred between 1912 and 1916. This paper compares Kaingang's narratives related to São João Maria with stories from New Mexico and Peru that have formed independently following contact with Agostini.

In what ways have forms for engendering the interconnection and materiality required for creative production changed in the time of COVID-19? How and why have our notions of imagining and visualizing cross-cultural production and its modes of research, analysis, and representation shifted? The global pandemic and responses to it through various forms of cultural production have seen an explosion of productivity and collective social actions as well as the reinforcement of entrenched systemic racism and other forms of discrimination and imbalance. In this special issue, authors weave together a series of dialogues, methodological approaches, and materialities that reflect on the visuality of the experiences that were first developed through shared critical autoethnographic practices during and after an international Massive Micro Sensemaking experiment involving 165 people.

AbstractIn 2007, women occupied a marginal space on Radio-Canada's archive web site, whose goal is to provide informative and educational content on Canadian history. Some important female figures are nevertheless present, especially authors or pioneers in traditional male occupations, key women oriented programs, including the television program Femme d'aujourd'hui (1965-1982) that addressed Second Wave feminism issues, and professionals from State radio and television such as star journalist Judith Jasmin. Despite this presence, the history of women in the 20th century still remains partially told.

This study examined the use of music software as a pedagogical tool for the delivery of specific content in a music education course offered to Certificate and Bachelor of Education Program students at a Caribbean university. The existing course uses a traditional approach, and thus, the study is significant as the results would propel a shift toward transformational teaching. Twenty-four university students were chosen for the study which adopted a mixed methods approach. Over one semester, participants used a free, open-source music software program to learn simple time signatures. Students produced an assignment as well as completed a questionnaire. Ninety percent of students were able to compose eight bars of music according to a simple time signature using the software. Most participants intimated they felt comfortable and motivated using the software, they understood concepts taught, and they suggested its continued use. The majority of participants also stated that they required more training. Some participants even said that they would adopt this methodology on their teaching practicum. Based on the results, recommendations include the adoption of this and other technological teaching tools within the music program, a teaching practicum assessment, and a progressive training component for both students and staff.
