“…Based on the authors’ intimate participant observations, and congruent with Perron, Rudge, and Gagnon's () work ‘ Towards an Ethic of Discomfort in Nursing ’, critical pedagogy and parrhesiastic practice remain far from the norm as accepted approaches in the education of nurses, despite the well‐documented ability of both to prepare graduates to question and challenge the cherished beliefs and practices of the discipline (Perron et al., ; Roberts, ). The development of a parrhesiastic practice is as critical to the preparation of nurses as it is for other health professionals, who according to Papadimos and Murray () need to be transformed into ‘able citizens who practice a fearless freedom of expression on behalf of their patients, the public, [their] profession, and themselves in the public and political arena’ (p. 1).…”

Drawing on a comprehensive, pan-national analysis of the corporatization of Canadian universities, as well as the notions of 'parrhesiastic' mentorship and practice, the authors examine the effects of the corporatized university, its implications for graduate nursing education and nursing's relative silence on the subject. With the preponderance of business interests, the increasing dependence of universities on industry funding, cults of efficiency, research intensivity, and the pursuit of profit so prevalent in today's corporatized university, we argue that philosophical presuppositions so crucial to critical teaching, research, and reflection on nursing as a discipline are troublingly losing ground. We lament the erosion and fragmentation of philosophy, politics, and ethics as foundations for graduate education, which are increasingly perceived as less valuable, problematic, and in some cases, even burdensome. The effect of corporatization is the suppression of the critical engagement required of faculty in the everyday workings of institutions. We argue that, when the ideals of intellectual freedom, academic responsibility, duty, and obligation, as supported by philosophical thought, are smothered by the normalizing power of corporatized research agendas, philosophical approaches to inquiry and knowledge development become marginalized as scholars find themselves floundering in the face of a seeming 'philosophy lost'.

“…De ce fait, les valeurs, les croyances et les présuppositions des répondantes ont été forgées par le contexte sociopolitique néolibéral. Les répondantes adoptent ainsi une lecture du monde qui se présente comme « allant de soi » (Roberts, 2016), une lecture forgée par le contexte plus large, contexte qui fait la promotion de la responsabilisation individuelle.…”

C et ouvrage collectif bilingue, organisé en un volume en français et un volume en anglais, a été produit dans le cadre du 50 e anniversaire du Département de criminologie de l'Université d'Ottawa en 2018. Ce projet est ainsi le résultat d'un processus collectif qui a pu compter sur le soutien de plusieurs collègues que nous souhaitons remercier.Nous avions invité les auteur(e)s de l'ouvrage à présenter leurs chapitres lors d'un colloque bilingue tenu pendant la Semaine de criminologie 2018. Les discussions qui ont eu lieu lors de ce colloque ont contribué au contenu des deux livres. Nous remercions Anthony Doob (Université de Toronto) pour sa conférence d'ouverture, et Gillian Balfour (Université Trent) et Joane Martel (Université Laval) pour leurs allocutions de clôture. Nous remercions aussi les bénévoles :

Background: Mental health of medical students can be affect by quality of services in hospitals; therefore, it is essential to evaluate its effective factors. However, according to the available data, there were no similar published studies that assess the possibility of linkage between these factors with mental health, in Iranian medical students. Objectives:The aim of this study was to identify the pathways applied by self-efficacy, critical thinking skills, and emotional intelligence, which influences the mental health of medical students. Methods:This cross-sectional study was implemented in 2016. The population of the study consisted of medical students in Mazandaran University (Sari, Iran). Self-efficacy questionnaire of Sheerer, critical thinking skills of California (Form B), standard emotional intelligence questionnaire of Petridis, and general health questionnaire of Goldberg were used for data collecting. The data were analyzed in SPSS 18.0 for Windows (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) by descriptive and inferential statistic operations (path analysis). Results:The results showed that the average age of students participating in the study was 22.68 (SD = 1.12; 95% CI = 21.56 -23.87). The direct path coefficient for critical thinking of mental health was -0.25, which was negative and significant (P < 0.001). In addition, a direct relationship between the emotional intelligence and mental health was found (path coefficient = -0.39).Conclusions: Generally, the results showed that both emotional intelligence and critical thinking play an important role in the mental health of self-reliant students. In addition to a direct effect, emotional intelligence had an impact on self-efficacy mediated mental health.
