The Future of Canadian Political Science: Boundary Transgressions, Gender and Anti-Oppression Frameworks

In light of the Canadian Journal of Political Science (CJPS) self-reflexive 50^th Anniversary issue on the state of Canadian political science (CPS), this article maps the discipline's engagement with intersectional anti-oppression scholarship. Analyzing abstracts in CJPS and the Canadian 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.
