Tonight I am going through all the readings that I have collected over the past nine courses at OISE. Social justice and mental health continue to be interests that interest me. I went back to the 1978 paper by Thomas B. Greenfield and happened upon a quote that seems timeless...
"What is needed in organizational studies of school are explorations that tell us more about the hidden injuries of learning, teaching and being an administrator." (Greenfield, 1978. p.20). Wow... look at the date and how relevant the quote is today. During this journey, I have witnessed Harper say sorry to Canada's Indigenous people, the process and the release of the Truth and Reconciliation Report, Senator Beyak's comments, Canada's 150th, and not a day without awareness of Canada's relationships with Indigenous people. The fact that the media continues to report on Indigenous and government relationships gives me hope that inclusion is happening with small but significant steps forward.
