“…As a result, these efforts produce what authors like Burri (2013) and Pyykkönen (2012) may refer to as cultural imperialism in which positive value or cultural legitimacy is attributed only to a narrow range of cultural expressions and the individuals who are able to appreciate them. These experiences support the view proposed by Pierre Bordieu under the concept of cultural capital that in each society not all modes and forms of cultural expression receive the same level of respect or value, but are rather organized by that society's hierarchal norms (Hill, 2004;Vromen, 1992). The use of terms such as "high culture", "popular culture", "indigenous culture" and "post-modern culture" are therefore troublesome, because beyond their surface role as descriptors, they also imbed implicit and sometimes explicit social exclusionary and normative markers of quality, virtue and value (Clements, 2006;Hill, 2004).…”

An African proverb says that it takes a village to raise a child… Looking back on my experiences and ongoing life journey, I see and feel privileged that this village which continues to grow is a global one stretching from my little island of St Kitts- Nevis and going far beyond…This research has been shaped and is indebted to the many experiences, decisions contacts, people, places, impressions, kindnesses received, events… from personal, family, friends, professional and other dimensions of experiences in this global village, some known, some still unknown, some I may never know.During my doctoral journey I have been blessed with three research supervisors, each one a highly accomplished, internationally recognized and outstanding master who has inspired and challenged me but also provided me with space to grow and pursue my interests. They are Dr. Jean-Louis Ermine (France), Dr. Vincent Ribiere (Thailand) and Dr. Alex Bennet (USA). Jean-Louis it seems like just yesterday when we first sat in that classroom at 13 rue Barrault, and started this journey, you were right, this experience has changed me. Thank you for always being there, for your guidance, humor, wisdom and professional mentorship. Vincent, I have been nourished by your rare ability to blend scientific rigor with playfulness, openness, humility, joy of learning and creativity. Alex, I'd like to thank you for entrusting me with access to your global network and for challenging me to explore, acknowledge and embrace my transition from apprentice hood to higher levels of disciplinary and personal mastery. I continue to learn and be inspired in so many ways from each of you…. I feel very privileged to have had as rapporteurs, Dr

“…Appreciation of high culture, though it can be developed through education, is thought to depend to a large extent on one's social origins. Consequently, the gains that could be achieved by such programmes a priori is limited (Clements, 2006;Hill, 204;Vromen, 1992). As a result, these efforts produce what authors like Burri (2013) and Pyykkönen (2012) may refer to as cultural imperialism in which positive value or cultural legitimacy is attributed only to a narrow range of cultural expressions and the individuals who are able to appreciate them.…”

This mixed methods research study seeks to develop, validate and assess the policy-relevance of a Knowledge-based Development Model. The model is based on UNESCO's Knowledge Societies Conceptual Framework, developed from the literature, validated through expert panels and field tested through application in selected primate cities of two developing countries in Africa and Asia. The study uses the model to gain insights into how knowledge assets in these cities can be leveraged to address the United Nations post-2015 sustainable development goals (SDGs). Hevner's (2004) Design Science Research provides an overarching epistemological, ontological and axiological frame for structuring this investigation. Scoping, design and evaluation of the model was guided by Mettler's (2009) and Wendler's (2012) parameters for model development. Drawing on the extant literature, indicators for the nine constructs in the UNESCO frameworkhuman rights, pluralism, inclusion, equity, openness, freedom of expression, universal access to information, cultural and linguistic diversity and educationwere developed and the model populated. Consultations with subject experts and a purposefully selected Delphi panel of some 66 global experts enabled the model to be validated. Pilot studies in Addis Ababa and Bangkok enabled an empirical exploration of the model, an assessment of the city's knowledge maturity and provided insights into the model's policy relevance. These findings contributed to the model's refinement. This research is the first attempt known to the author to develop and apply a knowledge-based development model based on the UNESCO Framework. The study supports the Organization's mission of creating policy tools and resources for developing countries and provides a concrete response to Recommendation 10 of the UNESCO World Report: Towards Knowledge Societies (UNESCO, 2005). The potential for knowledge and knowledge processes in overcoming strategic societal challenges, such as the SDGs, is recognized, but there is still limited understanding around how to effectively identify and leverage knowledge at the societal level and to extend knowledge management from the realm of the organization to the society

“…Early precedents for studies of photography as a social practice include Pierre Bourdieu's 1965 study of photography in French villages and cities. He approached photography as “an ordinary cultural practice [that is] cheap, technically simple to learn, and not formally encouraged” (Vromen :157) that could provide insights into changing norms, class relations, and identities (Bourdieu ).…”

Family Photography and Persecuted Communities: Methodological Challenges

This paper examines methodological challenges involved in conducting research on family photographs from persecuted communities, using Japanese Canadian photos as a case study. Approaching family photography as a social practice that instills dominant familial ideologies, the paper examines their "performative scripts" that arrange family members according to normative identities and roles. The paper argues that researchers are not immune to scripts that shape how and what we have been socialized to see (and not see) in family photos. The paper thus presents techniques to distance oneself from these performative scripts and one's involvement in their social and emotional dynamics. Once able to disentangle oneself from the genre's normative practices, the paper argues it is necessary to situate the photos in their social and political context of persecution and survival. Given the insular, inward looking character of family photographs, the paper concludes by calling for intersectional analyses, reflecting on how one might bring one's own family photos into engagement with the photos of Indigenous families and turns to those of the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Nation.
