ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Grateful acknowledgment is due the editors and reviewers of the journal for their trenchant analysis and respectful, constructive feedback of an earlier draft of this paper, while responsibility for the final analysis and conclusions remains with the authors.

Notes

The study “Leveraging Transdisciplinarity in Higher Education: A Study in Transformation” was reviewed and received clearance through Brock University Research Ethics Board [File #12-137 Mitchell].

We are also conscious of significant contributions from the Caribbean Philosophical Association (2015) to the ongoing epistemological re-orientation of the global North to include realities from the global South with their prolific cultural work using the notion of “creolization.” Although a fulsome exploration of their emancipatory project is well beyond the scope of our paper, please also see “Colonization, Creolization and Globalization: The Art and Ruses of ‘Bricolage'” by Wendy Knepper in Small Axe: A Caribbean Journal of Criticism (2006, Vol. 10, No. 3, 70–86) for further discussion.

Gratitude is expressed for the work of transcribing taken on by our departmental colleague Ms. Ellen Carter, and a Child and Youth Studies Master of Arts graduate Ms. Yana Lakman.
