Just published an article in The Conversation on international student activism & the politics of higher ed that follows up on the book we published last year in light of the current targeting of international students in the US theconversation.com/internationa... @uvicsocialsciences.bsky.social

On the Gulf of America: the "U.S. administration is seeking to flex its muscles to seem strong, similar to the way a pufferfish inflates its body to appear large...the cartographic arrogance behind these moves makes Trump & his cartographic supplicants seem petty & small." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Google says it's updating Canadian parks listed as state parks in its search and maps | CBC News

The categorization pre-dates 51st state rhetoric but is getting fresh attention with concerns over sovereignty. The categorization is also used by other services including Bing and TripAdvisor.

I had the pleasure of speaking with CHEK News today for a story about commemorative landscapes, this time about the removal of a historic plaque in Meegan/Beacon Hill Park. www.cheknews.ca/beacon-hill-...

Beacon Hill Park plaque temporarily removed over concerns of inaccuracy and outdated language
