Words and War: One War, Four Languages, Numerous Perspectives Phase 2

The war in Ukraine has generated news and media stories that include various forms of 'hate speech' about Ukraine. This research study examines how four languages (Ukrainian, Russian, French, and English) use words that are derogatory and negative when reporting on the war. Dr. Lucille Mazo, MacEwan University, and Dr. Yuliya Krylova-Grek, National University of Kyiv-Mohyla, are collaborating on this international project. Dr. Mazo is examining words in France (French) and Canada (English) countries. Dr. Krylova-Grek is examining words in Ukraine (Ukrainian) and Russia (Russian) countries. News and media sites in all four countries will be analyzed for the presence, meaning, and frequency of words that indicate/suggest a form of 'hate speech'. After analysis of these words, the results will be compared for themes, commonalities, similarities, and dissimilarities within the four languages. The results are expected to be presented to both academic and community groups.

Level Up - Communication and Learning Approaches Study (Phase V- 2023)

Communication and Learning Approaches Research Study (Phase V) This study examines how university students and educators apply their communication and learning styles/approaches in relation to a class/lesson. By comparing these two styles/approaches, the intent is to determine if there are any correlations with respect to the way that they are applied in class/lesson activities. Two student Research Assistants will work on the redevelopment and adaptation of a comprehensive online Inventories that are used to understand how university students and professors apply their communication and learning approaches within a classroom setting (Educators` Application of Their Learning and Communication Styles (EALCS) Inventory (Mazo, 2008)). Also, a new website for this research study will be developed for the longitudinal project.
