Integration into Unstable Global Markets: The Agrarian Sector in Thailand

To the House of Commons in Parliament Assembled

We, the undersigned residents of Canada, wish to bring to your attention the following:

For more than thirty years, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) has been promoting and supporting university-based research and training in the humanities and social sciences. SSHRC funding has been used to complete ground breaking research in countless areas in Canada and around the world.

The Federal Budget presented on January 27th contains a sentence that has the potential to halt this kind of research: "Scholarships granted by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council will be focused on business-related degrees".

On the (ir)reconcilability of Marxism and Post-Structural Thought

Intense contestation has been embedded in the historical trajectory for a politics of social change both inside and outside of the academy. Marxist thought asserts that ideas of social change can be conceived most effectively at the site of production and circulation within capitalist economies. How these processes intricately construct, reproduce and affect the subjectivities involved remains under-theorized.

Conversely, the post-structural focus on the construction and reproduction of these subjectivities deems the political-economic context a minor aspect in terms of understanding the reproduction of violence and oppression.
