Student Power: A Canadian Student Movement History Podcast
by Andre Goulet
As global campus protests attract academic and public attention, interest in student movements continues to grow; however, very little is known about the Canadian context. Dr. Roberta Lexier’s monograph offers the first detailed history of on-campus activism in Canada with each chapter drawing upon archival documents, media reports, and oral interviews to chronicle major upheavals in, respectively, the Sixties, 1975-2000 and 2001-2020. Grounded in the larger historical, political, economic, social/cultural, and institutional context of the period, each episode analyzes the various demands and tactics, the internal and external responses, and perceivable outcomes. Together, they demonstrate that student movements regularly anticipate broader social and political developments and, despite ongoing resistance to their confrontational strategies, effectively advance democracy and social justice both on- and off-campus.The conclusion brings the story to the present mo
