3 - Academia and Cultural Diversity
Editorial by Edward Little

4 - SHELLEY SCOTT EXAMINES how four risk-taking plays produced at the 2005 Edmonton Fringe tackled questions of human rights imbedded in themes of political resistance, "Chinafication," naked bodies, and the global politics of oil.

8 - RIC KNOWLES LOOKS  at ways in which Kitchener-Waterloo's MT Space theatre is using collective creation to forge new intercultural or multicultural dramaturgical forms within "aesthetics."

12 - EHAB LOTAYEF RESPONDS with poetry to the situation in Lebanon.

13 - JILL CARTER DISCUSSES the transformative power of Turtle Gals' The Scrubbing Project, in which colonized and colonial descendents alike are implicated and charged with personal responsibility to remember, redress, and heal.

18 - AMAR KHODAY ASSERTS  that freedom of expression within minority communities must include the right to a critical perspective—that elimination of an artist's voice from within these communities is tantamount to "cultural honour killing."
