“…While these concepts are an intrinsic part of CPS and are discussed extensively in CJPS/RCSP and CPSR , analysis typically reproduces structural forms of power inside and outside the discipline. For example, scholars have had a longstanding preoccupation with the relationship between equality and cultural accommodation, as indicated by the wealth of articles that evaluate the objectives of cultural accommodation in Canada (Kymlicka, 2010; Uberoi, 2016; Wilson, 2009), the limits of tolerance (Banting, 2010; Harell, 2013; L. White, 2003), and the impact of multicultural accommodation on national identity and unity (Johnston, 2010; Stolle et al, 2016). Linking these articles together is their theorization of equality within liberal-democratic values of inclusion and individual autonomy, assessing state successes and shortcomings of Canadian multicultural policies according to their accommodation of minority cultural groups.…”

In light of theCanadian Journal of Political Science(CJPS) self-reflexive “50thAnniversary” issue on the state of Canadian political science (CPS), this article maps the discipline's engagement with intersectional anti-oppression scholarship. Analyzing abstracts inCJPSand theCanadian Political Science Review,we argue while these journals—and mainstream CPS more generally—tackle questions of diversity, there remains a gap between conversations recognized in these particular forums and the incorporation of what we term an intersectional anti-oppression lens. In its deconstruction of systems of power and privilege, we explore analytic and pedagogical possibilities this lens presents for mainstream CPS.

“…During that decade, it also became apparent that the merit system in promotion was certainly not value‐free in that it was skewed towards white males. This system was known in the visible minority communities as the “plexiglass ceiling” (Wilson ; The Conference Board of Canada ).…”

This article reflects on the observation that no one group -practitioners, academics, or clients -can claim to possess the full truth on any question in public administration (PA). PA is enriched and afflicted by its practical nature; its students try to persuade colleagues and political and administrative elites of the truth of their findings. Most PA literature presents propositions as logical means to reach desired ends, but disagreement is possible and likely over means and ends. Beyond disagreements on values, many disciplines relevant to PA also ensure differing perspectives. We argue for varied methodologies that recognize stakeholder interests and which minimize methods of persuasion promising too much and ignoring important problems.

Abstract. This article demonstrates that though the political nature of race is evident and constitutes an important area of research, there is a dearth of literature on race in English Canadian political science particularly as compared to other social sciences. The article provides explanations for this disciplinary silence, including methodological fuzziness, dominant elite-focused and colour-blind approaches to the study of politics, and the prevalence of ideas and foci about the nature of Canadian politics. In order to avoid the danger of disciplinary lag, it concludes with several ways of addressing this disparity between the political science and the society it purports to analyze.Résumé. Malgré l'essence politique évidente du concept de «race» et son importance indéniable comme sujet de recherche, la littérature de science politique canadienne-anglaise s'y attarde très peu, surtout en comparaison des autres sciences sociales. L'article explique les causes de ce silence disciplinaire. Celles-ci incluent un flou méthodologique, une approche surtout centrée sur l'élite, une perspective «daltonienne» concernant l'étude de la politique, ainsi que la prédominance de certaines idées quant à la nature de la politique canadienne. Afin d'éviter un danger de lacune disciplinaire, l'article propose des solutions permettant de réduire l'écart entre la science politique et son objet d'étude, soit la société réelle.
