Over the past few years, we’ve had the tremendous pleasure of interviewing historians, human rights activists, professors, researchers and labour leaders. The articles that were produced from these interviews have helped us understand some tough issues more profoundly.
We’re making improvements to our website to help you access more of the great content we’ve created. That’s why, from now on, we’ll be tagging these types of articles under UNE Interviews. You can access all the articles featuring these types of interviews by clicking here. All categories are accessible using the categories menu on the right-hand side of this page.
Here’s a look at some at just some of the interviews we’ve conducted:
Exclusive: our interview with Hassan Yussuff: This interview was so great, it got picked up by Rabble.ca. If you haven’t read it, you’re really missing out!
Tribal People Under Attack: For this article, we interviewed Ilana Nevins, spokesperson for Survival International, about the dire situation on the Peruvian-Brazilian border that threatens an uncontacted tribe. It’s not too late to take action by sending an email to the Brazilian and Peruvian governments!
International Museums Day: We spent a great deal of time interviewing Terry Quinlan, professor of conservation at Algonquin College, for this piece. The resulting article is an illuminating look at how government budget cuts are having a disastrous effect on our museums and national historic sites.
Injured workers: a painful identity: For this article, we interviewed Sharon-Dale Stone, an associate professor of sociology at Lakehead University. Stone investigated the stigma that is associated with injured workers – especially when the disability isn’t visible. This piece looks at some of the more troubling conclusions and offers advice for combating the stigma.
