All the Feels / Tous les sens
Affect and Writing in Canada / Affect et écriture au Canada
Marie Carrière (Editor), Ursula Mathis-Moser (Editor), Kit Dobson (Editor)
Readable and timely, this book presents research into emotion and cognition in Canadian, Indigenous, and Québécois writings in English or French.

Dissonant Methods
Undoing Discipline in the Humanities Classroom
Ada S. Jaarsma (Editor), Kit Dobson (Editor)
This innovative collection probes how, by teaching inventively, post-secondary instructors can resist the constrictions of neo-liberalism. The contributors offer practical meditations on resistant and sustainable teaching and seek to undermine forms of oppression frequently practised in higher education, aiming instead for critical thinking, creativity, and inclusivity.

Field Notes on Listening
Kit Dobson
This collection is a response to humans’ lack of connection to the land, exploring what we could discover if we learn to truly listen deeply to the world around us. The essays look at Dobson’s lost family farm, climate change, loss of habitat, and the tensions of living in capitalism, beginning and ending with his home and kitchen table.
