Alors que le Canada cherche à affirmer son rôle comme chef de file en recherche et innovation, une question essentielle se pose : quelle place accorde-t-on à la recherche en français, particulièrement en dehors du Québec? Trop souvent ignorées, les communautés francophones en situation minoritaire jouent pourtant un rôle déterminant dans le développement du savoir, de la culture et de l’identité canadienne.

Dans l’épisode de ce mois-ci du balado Voir Grand, Karine Morin est accompagnée d’Émir Delic, Doyen des facultés et des études collégiales à l’Université Sainte-Anne. Ensemble, Karine et Émir se penchent sur la question de l’impact de la recherche hors Québec, de ses défis, de ses contributions et de son potentiel pour l’avenir.

Across healthcare, education, and advocacy, many assumptions about disability are being challenged and, in some cases, dismantled. Among them are questions related to intimate relationships and sexuality, where stigma can get in the way of safety and rights.

On this month’s episode of the Big Thinking Podcast, Karine Morin is joined by Dr. Alan Martino, Assistant Professor in the Community Rehabilitation and Disability Studies Program at the University of Calgary.

Something remarkable happens when spaces are allowed to feel more human—when they are welcoming, grounded in care, and shaped with intention. When there’s time to sit together, perhaps good food on the table, and an openness that feels closer to being welcomed into someone’s home than arriving at an institution of learning.

Across the country, centres for Black studies are emerging as spaces like these. They are places where Black scholarship is held with care, where history and leadership are approached through joy, and where intellectual life is nurtured rather than extracted.

That spirit of joy comes to the Big Thinking Podcast this month. Andrew B. Campbell joins Karine Morin for a conversation about Black leadership through history, the power of building scholarly spaces that are expansive rather than extractive, and what becomes possible when we show up not just as participants, but as allies and co-conspirators in sustaining this work.
