À propos de cette revue

The Sankofa Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies is a peer-reviewed journal that supports the amplification of subaltern and marginalized voices at the University of Waterloo. The journal encourages submissions from all University of Waterloo communities (staff, faculty, undergraduate, and graduate students) from across all faculties and disciplines. Sankofa encourages us to 'look back' to 'move forward' by challenging traditional and eurocentric ideals of scholarship. We seek interdisciplinary works (original content that is rooted with-in and with-out the academe) that are rooted in praxis.

Call for Papers: Reflections: The University of Waterloo, 2020-2024

2024-07-08

This Call for Papers, from UW communities, seeks personal memories, contextualized by cultural descriptions, from the years 2020-2024. Ultimately, this volume will become a toolkit for how UW can create ‘made-in-house’ solutions on how we can move beyond tolerance to truly create an allophilic ‘One Waterloo.’ In 2005, Harvard Professor Todd L. Pittinsky created the concept of “allophilia,” arguing that “the necessary approach is not to replace prejudice with the neutral stance of tolerance. Something critical lies beyond the reduction of prejudice and the promotion of tolerance: positive intergroup attitudes, allophilia” (Pittinsky, 2005).[1] This CFP seeks to hear from the voices of the subaltern (the unheard, the silenced).

Vol. 3 No. 1 (2023): Special Edition: Community-Based Research

In keeping with our mission to engage with collaborators in community and center knowledges produced outside the academy, the Sankofa Network for Transformative Community Research (SNTCR), hired a community based researcher to produce a special edition chapter on the realm of their expertise. 

Rayanne Banaga is a community mental health educator and counsellor who uses alternative frameworks that reference Afrocentric and Indigenous healing practices. In line with the main principle of the network, Sankofa, she aims to analyze how the past has understood Black psychology to bring forth only what is useful. Their work is formed to empower folks though psychoeducation and is practiced through mutual aid and peer support and can be found at surviving-together.com.
