One striking feature of Québec’s new Culture and Citizenship in Québec (CCQ) program is its almost complete departure from any topics concerning religious culture. However, an awareness of the different epistemic wrongs, in terms of unjust credibility and intelligibility deficits, that marginalized religious identities suffer in Québec society gives us an important justification for continuing to teach for religious literacy. Without mourning for a lost past, Beauchamp will argue that the need for epistemic justice should nevertheless serve as a guide when teaching about marginalized identities (including religious, indigenous, racialized or gendered, etc.) and that civic education gives teachers grounds for pursuing epistemic justice in the classroom.

In this politically charged environment academics may exercising their voice to “speak truth to power,” but even a cursory view of research use in policymaking reveals that few are listening. This talk provides a unique perspective of research and policymaking that addresses the problems with research for policy use, the opportune time to build relationships with politicians, how to enlist allies, writing for policy audiences, and what to do once you get in the door. The talk is filled with concrete insights from David R. Garcia (Arizona State University) based on his book (Teach Truth to Power) and policy experiences working as a legislative analyst, top public education official, and 2018 Democratic Party gubernatorial candidate for the state of Arizona.
