“…Picture books as a mode of expression present an excellent opportunity for this critical reflection. That picture books stimulate critical engagement has been widely documented (Arizpe and others, ; Lewis, ; Salisbury and Styles, ). This is often attributed to their interplay of images and words that create rich ‘textual gaps’ in which readers can ruminate and their complex compositional structures (Lewis, 2001, Salisbury and Styles, ).…”

Official assessments of Canadian food security, which greatly inform policy and perception, paint an insufficient picture of the ways many Indigenous peoples, and in particular Indigenous children who are most impacted by food insecurity, actually experience and understand the problem. This article begins with a discussion of how these metrics neglect the vital connection between access to Indigenous food systems and Indigenous food security. To address the serious food insecurity experienced by Indigenous peoples, this connection must be acknowledged, and revitalisation of these food systems, which are damaged by settler-colonial practices, must become a focus of the discourse and action. Indigenous elders believe children will be pivotal in revitalisation. In this spirit, this article traces experiential learning projects on revitalisation, in which young people unsettle the settler discourse of food security and take action in small but important ways.

If I didn't know you what would you want me to see?':Poetic mappings in neomaterialist research with young asylum seekers and refugees Abstract:The following article puts to work an affirmative approach to critical theory through poetic mappings of the process of crafting identity boxes with ESOL students from refugee and asylum backgrounds in a Glasgow-based college in Scotland (UK). The article takes as its starting point the work of feminist and neo-materialist thinkers who argue for an ontological re-orientation of our practices of inquiry. This involves the questioning of positivist research orientations, which regard language as mere second-order representations of a primary reality. We argue that such representationalist logic can implicate research participants in deficit orientations, especially when their embodied and often contested ways of being in the world defy purely linguistic or other 'fixed' cultural representations. With the aim to embrace epistemological uncertainty and prioritise our participants' embodied self-articulations over our "rage for meaning" (MacLure 2013), we experimented with poetic mappings as neomaterialist, arts-based research tools.

“…This understanding can be applied to the analysis of children's literature, enabling readers/viewers to develop a meta-awareness of the roles played by artefacts of value within children's literature, where characters are marginalised and displaced. When teachers become familiar with these aspects of how literature can work, they can make pedagogical choices that include creative response strategies (Arizpe, Bagelman, Devlin, Farrell & McAdam, 2014) to explore the pivotal role of artefacts in texts as a means of prodding the boundaries of otherness to foster care for another in a context that cannot be directly experienced. Texts used in this way have the potential to move beyond empathy, becoming training fields for developing an imperative of mutual care.…”

Xenophobic discourse surrounding migration, resulting in marginalisation of the other is on the rise. This article tracks the formation of a professional community of teacher inquirers who wanted to challenge the prevalent negative discourse by generating narratives of change. Using narrative inquiry methods to capture 'stories of experience' told in response to artefacts of value, the community of inquiry revealed through their storytelling the value of excavating knowledge connected to language, culture and identity. This personal knowledge evoked care and empowered the teachers to confidently select and use children's literature alongside creative response strategies to re-imagine their classrooms as spaces to welcome refugee and new arrival children. The article argues that communities of inquiry provide potential ways forward for educators to pre-figure 'an imperative of mutual care' (Geras, 1998, p. 60).
