Page Over the past several weeks par- ents, teachers, and administrators engaged in conversations about how and if schools should open. Many school districts decided to open regularly and Sunshine Bible Academy is one of them. Monday, Aug. 17 marked the be- ginning of their 2020 – 2021 school year. According to Superintendent Jason Watson, the fi rst day back Out & About, 5 was “a good start to the school year.” Things for the most part contin- ue as they have in previous years, but according to the school made a few changes in light of the pandem- ic situation. The academy continues to board students and each morn- ing they complete a basic screening test so that the school can take care of any sickness that could arise. All of the paper towel dispensers and water fountains were replaced with hands free versions to limit contact. The cafeteria no longer uses a self- serve salad bar but instead has em- ployees serve it to the students. The school changed its cleaning poli- cy slightly, most notably adding ad- ditional sanitizations to the regular Teaching abroad, 5 routine.

  • "Gay" and "Straight" Rodeo
    COWBOY UP: GENDER AND SEXUALITY IN CALGARY'S "GAY" AND "STRAIGHT" RODEO by JONATHAN HANVELT B.A., The University of British Columbia, 2001 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN SOCIOLOGY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Department of'Anthropology and Sociology) We accept this thesis as conforming tojhe required standard THE UNVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA October 2004 ©Jonathan Hanvelt, 2004 ABSTRACT This thesis addresses varying constructions and expressions of masculinities in two of the rodeo communities in Calgary, Alberta. For this work, I focus on the rodeo produced by the Alberta Rockies Gay Rodeo Association and the one produced by the Calgary Stampede. Using a combination of participant observation and textual analysis, I examine the ways in which the institutional bodies of the rodeos, as well as some of the community members, construct and communicate definite ideas about gender and sexuality. Using ConneU's concept of 'hegemonic masculinity,' I describe the Calgary Stampede as a place where the major tenets of that masculinity are represented, enacted, and thereby reinforced. This includes ideologically divided gender roles, a privileging of whiteness, and a compulsory heterosexuality. Conversely, I found the gay rodeo to be a site of great resistance to that hegemonic construct in terms of both gender and sexuality. At an institutional level, the gay rodeo produces a space that refuses to confine itself to the strict confines that are dictated in straight rodeo. This subversion is quite extensive and can even be seen as an arena in which gender is detached from the sexed subject.
