I Social Conflict and Peace-Building Social Conflict and Peace-building: The Perceptions, Experiences, and Contributions of Leaders of Selected Community-Based Organizations in Winnipeg, Manitoba By KAWSER AHMED A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Peace and Conflict Studies University of Manitoba Winnipeg COPYRIGHT © 2017 BY KAWSER AHMED i Abstract People perceive social conflict and conflict issues in different ways. My research is directed at understanding how leaders from some of Winnipeg’s Community-Based Organizations (CBOs; faith and ethno-cultural NGOs) perceive and experience social conflict and to explore their contributions toward peace-building and conflict transformation. Historically, Winnipeg has been home to a plethora of faith-based, ethno-cultural community organizations, and NGOs whose mission is to provide crucial basic and spiritual needs to people. Their contribution to the nurturing of both the spiritual and social needs of their communities is also remarkable. This qualitative research is based on semi-structured interviews and participant observation as research instruments to observe social events related to conflict and peace-building. Critical ethnographic and grounded theory approaches inform the methodology while drawing necessary inferences from relevant quantitative data. From this research, several key findings become evident: 1) CBO leaders have a high level of personal motivation and employ a wide range of tools, such as the social capital of their organizations, to intervene in social conflict issues for the purpose of peace-building; 2) of the three types of CBO (faith, ethno-cultural and NGOs), the Faith-Based Organizations (FBOs) are the most networked and involved in transforming social conflicts and contributing toward peace-building in Winnipeg; 3) some respondents seemed to indicate that not all projects are contributing equally in addressing social conflict issues; 4) social conflict issues appear to be rooted in an unjust social structure and a number of socio-economic- political and cultural policies; 5) research participants cited five complex, interrelated conflict issues in Winnipeg; 6) a grounded theoretical concept (Perception-Expectation-Frustration) was generated to explain social conflict; and 7) these everyday leaders are using a plethora of strategies as everyday peace-builders who are engaged global citizens, and citizen diplomats to ii create oases of peace in a society where people are struggling with social inequality, discrimination, and poverty in order to address people's immediate needs, promote awareness, and influence policy. In sum, the meso level CBO leaders perceive social conflict holistically and some of their peace-building projects may be contributing substantially towards a long-term process of social conflict transformation in Winnipeg. iii Acknowledgements I am grateful to my research participants in Winnipeg who believed in the practical value of this research. In particular, I sincerely appreciate the guidance and encouragement provided by Dr. Jessica Senehi, Dr. Emdad Haque, and Dr. Mashiur Rahman. I also acknowledge Dr. Sean Byrne for his unwavering support and direction of my research. I further acknowledge Dr. Mary Le Maitre’s support during the research fieldwork in Winnipeg. iv Dedication I dedicate this research to all those inspired Winnipeggers who live in this great city and wake up every morning with hope for a peaceful and just society. This is a city, which welcomes people of all races, colours, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and faiths with compassion, tolerance and love – the true face of Friendly Manitoba. Winnipeg welcomes everybody as Rumi did in the city of Konya, Turkey: Come, come, whoever you are. Wanderer, worshipper, lover of leaving. It doesn’t matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. Come, even if you have broken your vow a hundred times. Come, yet again, come, come. — JALALUDDIN MOHAMMAD RUMI, Masnavi v Table of Contents Abstract

  • Culturally Relevant Teacher Education: a Canadian Inner-City Case
    Culturally Relevant Teacher Education: A Canadian Inner-City Case Rick Hesch winnipeg, manitoba This case study of an inner-city teacher education program documents the tensions at work on a social reconstructionist academic staff attempting to produce a culturally relevant teacher education program. Cultural relevance here includes three features: supporting academic achievement, maintaining cultural competence, and developing critical consciousness. All interests converge on the need to produce academically and technically competent teachers. Beyond this, the staff remain mindful of the dominant social and educational context within which they work and at the same time attempt to meet the longer-term interests of their students and culturally different inner-city communities. The possibilities for success have lessened in the political economy of the 1990s, but the study provides concrete instances of developing a culturally relevant teacher education program. Cette étude de cas portant sur un programme de formation à l’enseignement dans des écoles de quartiers défavorisés décrit les tensions au sein du personnel enseignant cher- chant à produire un programme de formation des maîtres culturellement significatif. Trois éléments définissent la pertinence culturelle d’un programme : il doit promouvoir la réussite scolaire, être adapté à la culture et développer une pensée critique. Tous les intervenants s’accordent sur la nécessité de produire des enseignants compétents. Cela dit, le personnel doit garder à l’esprit le contexte éducatif et social dominant dans lequel il travaille tout en essayant de tenir compte des intérêts à long terme des élèves et de diverses communautés culturelles implantées dans des quartiers défavorisés. L’étude fournit des exemples concrets de la marche à suivre pour élaborer un programme de formation à l’enseignement culturellement significatif.

Since 1969, the IUS has been both an academic and an applied research centre, committed to examining urban development issues in a broad, non-partisan manner. The Institute examines inner city, environmental, Aboriginal and community development issues. In addition to its ongoing involvement in research, IUS brings in visiting scholars, hosts workshops, seminars and conferences, and acts in partnership with other organizations in the community to effect positive change. Introduction This study undertakes an analysis of demographic and housing market factors that may influence the need for incentives in the downtown Winnipeg housing market. This report informs CentreVenture’s proposed “10 Year Housing Evaluation” and helps to address the proposed question, “What price do new downtown housing projects need to achieve to encourage more people to move downtown?” To accomplish this, the following have been undertaken: 1. A Demographic Analysis of current downtown Winnipeg residents with a comparison to Winnipeg medians, 2. A Rental Market Analysis comparing downtown rates to Winnipeg averages, as well as changing rental rates in the downtown from Census data, 3.

  • Ii WOODY GUTHRIE
    ii WOODY GUTHRIE THIS COLLECTION PRESENTS FOR THE FIRST TIME the full range of material Woody Guthrie recorded for the United States government, both in song and the spoken word. This publication brings together two significant bodies of work – the songs and stories he recorded for the Library of Congress, and the material he created when hired to write songs for the Bonneville Power Administration. There have been records released in the past of the Library of Congress recordings, but this collection is the first time that the complete and unedited Library of Congress sessions have been released. The songs from those recording dates have been available in the past – notably from Elektra and from Rounder – but we offer here the full body of work, including the hours of Woody Guthrie talking and telling his story. TO THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS AND BPA RECORDINGS, we have also added material which Woody recorded for governmental or quasi-governmental efforts – some songs and two 15-minute radio dramas for the Office of War Information during the Second World War and another drama offered to public health agencies to fight the spread of venereal disease.

This process was timely given that 2004 would mark MAWA’s 20th year in operation. During our history many changes have taken place, but the driving philosophy to encourage and support the intellectual and creative development of women in the visual arts by providing an ongoing forum for education and critical dialogue has remained stable. At the core of our programs are the mentorships for which MAWA is celebrated well beyond our borders. MAWA is the only organization in Canada to offer a range of mentorship programs to women in the visual arts. These programs range from weekend workshops to year-long mentorships, with much in-between. The 2003 assessment determined that MAWA was doing many things right.

  • Singing in ‘The Peg’: the Dynamics of Winnipeg Singing Cultures During the 20Th Century
    Singing in ‘The Peg’: The Dynamics of Winnipeg Singing Cultures During the 20th Century Muriel Louise Smith Doctor of Philosophy University of York Music September 2015 This thesis is dedicated to my parents, William Moore (1910-1982) Ann Moore (1916-2011) who inspired, demanded excellence, and loved me. 2 Abstract The research begins by establishing Winnipeg, as a city comprised of many different European immigrant communities where the dominant British-Canadian culture reflected the Canadian national consciousness of the early 20th century. After an outline of early musical life in the city, four case studies demonstrate how the solo vocal and choral culture in Winnipeg represents a realization of the constitutive, continuously forming and mutable relationships between peoples of differing identities. In all of these case studies, I investigate how this culture has been shaped by social and political actions through transnational connections over the 20th century. The first two case studies are underpinned by the theories of cultural capital and gender. The first focuses on the Women’s Musical Club of Winnipeg (1900-1920s), an elite group of Brito-Canadian women who shaped the reception of high art singing among their peers primarily through their American connections. The second investigates the Men’s Musical Club of Winnipeg (1920s-1950s), a dynamic group of businessmen and musicians who sought to reinforce Brito-Canadian cultural supremacy by developing a choral culture and establishing a music competition festival based on British models and enforced by British musical associations. The third and fourth case studies are examined through the lens of diaspora and identity, underpinned by social capital.

So many travel there, I‘m going now while I‘m still young my darling meet me there Wish me luck my lovely I‘ll send for you when I can And we‘ll make our home in the American Land. 1 The words “American Land”, made famous by the US singer-songwriter Pete Seeger and translated from a 1940’s song by Andrew Kovaly, a Slovakian immigrant, would appear to point to a sense of hope and plenty, referring to a place where the poem’s protagonist could fulfill his desire of a decent job and a home in the promised land.

  • “Limbo Rock” Is Concerned, There Is No Lower Number
    HOW LOW CAN YOU GO; As far as “Limbo Rock” is concerned, there is no lower number. This week it went from #2 down to #1 while passing the 1,300,000 sales mark. For Chubby Checker it’s another feather in the cap of the young lad who has become the “Dean of Teen Dance.” Just as his “Twist” single and LP’s played a major role in establishing that dance craze earlier in the year, his “Limho” single and “Limbo Party” LP (#35 in its first week on the LP best seller list) are establishing a new fad which the performer demonstrates above. With requests for more Limbo merchan- dise gaining steadily, Cameo/Parkway is scheduling the release of another CC album called “Let’s Limbo Some More.” It was also just announced that Bernie Lowe, president of the rapidly growing Cameo/Parkway Corporation, has signed Chubby to a new five-year contract with the label.

Message from the Chair Dear Mayor Bowman: I am pleased to present to you the report of the Task Force on Heritage, Culture and Arts, including recommendations and accompanying action items. The assignment was both challenging and exciting, and I would like to thank you for creating an opportunity for heritage (including museums), arts, culture and tourism sub-sectors to come together to start a conversation, develop a dialogue of collaboration, and provide recommendations towards enhancing Winnipeg’s cultural identity. I can tell you that Task Force members were very pleased to have been able to come together noting it was the first time their sub-sectors came together to act in an advisory capacity to the Mayor of Winnipeg! One of our key challenges was to explore new and innovative opportunities to broaden the revenue base for arts, culture and heritage and to explore alternative sources of dedicated capital funding.
