One Boy! is an emotionally charged—at times even humorous—coming-of-age narrative. In this debut work of creative non-fiction, Benjamin Maiangwa draws readers into the intimate interior of a boy navigating the delicate space between youthful innocence and the harsh realities of a Catholic boarding school.

The story traces a young man's journey through the tangled terrain of love, loss, and self-discovery. Set against the backdrop of cultural expectations and religious doctrine, the protagonist endures betrayal, bullying, and the fragile beauty of friendship. As he matures within the strict confines of the boarding school and the religious hostilities of the outside world, he arrives at a moral crossroads: should he uphold the Judeo-Christian values of forgiveness instilled in him—or yield to the seductive pull of revenge?

One Boy! is more than a story of survival; it is a meditation on what it means to remain whole in a world that so often insists you break. In the end, the question isn’t just what the boy will choose—but what we would choose in his place.

Becoming an Anti-racist Educator honours the profound influence of Dr. Timothy J. Stanley, a trailblazing historian whose work has transformed how we understand racism, racialization, and historical consciousness in Canada. This timely volume brings together scholars, educators, and activists to reflect on how Stanley’s scholarship and mentorship have shaped their own commitments to antiracist education.

Spanning generations and disciplinary backgrounds, the contributors offer deeply personal and politically grounded reflections that connect Stanley’s insights to the pressing realities of our time—from the toppling of colonial statues to the resurgence of anti-Asian racism and the uncovering of unmarked graves at residential school sites. Together, they demonstrate that antiracist teaching is not just about critiquing systems, but about reimagining relationships to land, history, and each other.

Organized into three thematic sections—Shaping Anti-racist Approaches, Doing History Differently, and Mentorship—the collection culminates in a powerful epilogue by Dr. Stanley, whose voice continues to guide conversations on justice, equity, and historical accountability.

This book is an essential resource for educators, scholars, and community members committed to interrupting racism in schools, museums, universities, and beyond. It offers not only an archive of Stanley’s impact but a roadmap for those seeking to carry his work forward in urgent and transformative ways.

Since their inception, the United Nations Climate Change Conferences—or Conference of the Parties (COPs)–have shaped the global response to climate change. These high-stakes gatherings bring together world leaders, scientists, activists, and policymakers to negotiate the future of our planet. Yet, despite increasing media attention, the inner workings of these forums remain complex and often misunderstood.

As COP30 takes place in 2025, 30 Climate COP Later takes a critical look at the past three decades of climate negotiations. Have these conferences driven real progress? Through the voices of key Canadian figures—diplomats, scientists, NGO leaders, journalists, and policymakers—this book offers a rare, behind-the-scenes perspective on the triumphs, setbacks, and turning points that have defined the COPs.

With firsthand accounts and candid reflections, contributors share personal experiences, pivotal moments, and insights into Canada’s evolving role in international climate diplomacy. From historic agreements to missed opportunities, their stories provide a nuanced view of the challenges and achievements of global climate negotiations.

Written for a wide audience—including students, professionals, and anyone passionate about climate action—this book sheds light on the COP process and its impact. As the climate crisis intensifies, it asks a pressing question: Can these negotiations still deliver the solutions we so urgently need?

This short book contributes to accelerating the process of recognition of governance studies as a heuristically powerful field of study in two distinct ways.

In Part I, it shows first how the governance approach has emerged in response to the limitations of the two main cosmologies that have dominated the 20th century scene type-I liberalism rooted in the market and decentralization; and type-II liberalism rooted in statism and centralization. It proposes a better way to respond effectively to the challenges of effective coordination when power, resources and information are widely distributed into many hands and heads. This new approach has been criticized by the defenders of the ruling cosmologies, but it has evolved effective prototypes of inquiring systems capable of guiding the search for effective wayfinding and for the design of organizational arrangements ensuring effectiveness, resilience and innovation. In Part II, it explores how the governance approach may help in tackling wicked policy problems where ends are neither well known nor agreed upon, and means-ends relationships are either poorly understood or unstable.

Three somewhat different cases are discussed: equality where a dominant ideology of egalitarianism in democratic societies is challenged with great difficulty by a cosmology of equability; diversity where, in Canada, maximum diversity would appear to be regarded as optimal diversity, and multiculturalism is propagandized as the nec plus ultra response even though it may be shown to be toxic; and sustainability, where the problem definition and the general direction in which a viable organizational learning regime will emerge are unclear. On both fronts, the book tries to bring a bit of subtlety, a taste for complexity, and some innovative ideas to debates that have wallowed, both at the conceptual and at the practical levels, in ideologically muddy waters.
