Title
Learning in Social Action: Students of Color and the Québec Student Movement
Abstract
Five "activist-scholars" explain why they participated in the 2012 Quebec student protest against higher university tuition fees. They argue that "racialized" people, especially racialized women, systematically earn less income that their non-racialized counterparts, end up in more precarious employment, are two to four times more likely to live in poverty, encounter structural discrimination within the labour market and take longer to pay off student debt. Consequently, tuition hikes disproportionately impact racialized communities, they maintain, systematically excluding even more racialized people from university education.
