Cutting edge research is now often perceived as synonymous with interdisciplinarity. Bringing together scholars from different disciplines, often for team-based research, projects are now being tackled by experts from a variety of perspectives and, as often claimed, at a depth beyond the capacity of a single researcher. Melding older, often traditional, disciplinary-based approaches and utilizing sources in novel ways, interdisciplinarity has supposedly taken scholarship to a higher level, yielding fresher, more nuanced, and ultimately more sophisticated analyses. The practitioners of interdisciplinarity are many, and their growing numbers show no signs of abating. Among the plethora of places encouraging this trend is the Washington-based Committee on Facilitating Interdisciplinary Research which "provide[s] findings, conclusions, and recommendations as to how ... interdisciplinary work can be facilitated by funding organizations and academic institutions,"1 and the Interdisciplinary Research Institute in Lille, France, which is "designed to foster interactions between biologists, computer scientists, mathematicians, physicists, chemists and engineers."2 The fruits from such work are now appearing in relatively new publications such as the Journal of Interdisciplinary History, Journal of Intercultural Studies, Science Communication, and ProtoSociology, sources dedicated to the dissemination of scholarship crossing the boundaries of a single discipline. Canadian academics and academies have participated with vigour in this trend through new institutes, scholarly programs, and forums for the exchange of ideas, such as the Alberta-based Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in the Liberal Arts which sponsors an annual colloquium and "provid[es] Internet resources to scholars engaged in interdisciplinary research."3 Granting agencies are also moving in this direction, most notably the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada [SSHRC]. In transforming itself - as it began advertising in early 2004 - from a "Granting Council to Knowledge Council," SSHRC announced its intention to promote the interchange of ideas and methods across disciplines to produce results of greater utility, particularly in areas that will challenge Canadians in the years to come like the "new economy," healthcare, sustainable development, the environment, and the maintenance of a "civil society that reflects [Canadian] values and diverse heritages."4 Canadian university calendars point to an expanding corpus of interdisciplinary programs that, advocates contend, will produce graduates with the breadth of knowledge to truly understand and effectively address the 1 http://www7.nationalacademies.org/interdisciplinary/ 2 http://www.drl8.cnrs.fr/iri/ 3 http://www.augustana.ab.ca/cirla/ 4http://www.sshrc.ca/web/whatsnew/initiatives/transformation/consultation_framework_e .pdf 1 Keshen and Perrier, Introduction complexity of issues. Some domains are longer established, but have broadened significantly in recent years such as Canadian Studies (where students now delve into History, Geography, Sociology, English, Lettres fran?aises, Philosophy, Religious Studies, and Political Science) and Women's Studies (which now involves Criminology, Education, English, History, Human Kinetics, Law, Lettres fran9aises, Nursing, Pastoral Studies, Political Science, Religious Studies, and Sociology). Newer combinations are further expanding the parameters of inquiry, often to address current issues such as Globalization (the study of which now typically covers Political Science, History, Economics, Geography, Religious Studies, Sociology, and Law), and Population Health (which includes Health Administration, Human Kinetics, Law, Microbiology, Immunology, Nursing, Psychology, and Rehabilitation Science). But not everyone is sold, and from several quarters, cautions have been issued. Often heard is that disciplines have their own internal logic, and that to mix methodologies, perhaps to satisfy the latest fad, will produce work of dubious quality. Many ask who, in fact, is expert enough to determine which disciplines are truly complementary. Others wonder whether new interdisciplinary institutes and the trend toward collaborative research will stunt creativity by forcing artificial connections, creating an extra level of bureaucracy, and defining more rigidly the boundaries of inquiry to respect the team approach. And then there is the matter of what students actually learn, namely, will they truly master any area of study or come away with a superficial smattering of knowledge? Such concerns should be kept in mind when utilizing this collection of papers which are the product of a May 2004 conference held at the University

  • Private Broadcasting and the Path to Radio Broadcasting Policy in Canada
    Media and Communication (ISSN: 2183–2439) 2018, Volume 6, Issue 1, Pages 13–20 DOI: 10.17645/mac.v6i1.1219 Article Private Broadcasting and the Path to Radio Broadcasting Policy in Canada Anne Frances MacLennan Department of Communication Studies, York University, Toronto, M3J 1P3, Canada; E-Mail: [email protected] Submitted: 6 October 2017 | Accepted: 6 December 2017 | Published: 9 February 2018 Abstract The largely unregulated early years of Canadian radio were vital to development of broadcasting policy. The Report of the Royal Commission on Radio Broadcasting in 1929 and American broadcasting both changed the direction of Canadian broadcasting, but were mitigated by the early, largely unregulated years. Broadcasters operated initially as small, indepen- dent, and local broadcasters, then, national networks developed in stages during the 1920s and 1930s. The late adoption of radio broadcasting policy to build a national network in Canada allowed other practices to take root in the wake of other examples, in particular, American commercial broadcasting. By 1929 when the Aird Report recommended a national net- work, the potential impact of the report was shaped by the path of early broadcasting and the shifts forced on Canada by American broadcasting and policy. Eventually Canada forged its own course that pulled in both directions, permitting both private commercial networks and public national networks.

Reacting to the medium’s growing significance, members of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) accepted that they had a wartime responsibility to maintain civilian morale. The CBC thus unequivocally supported the national cause throughout all levels of its organization. Its senior administrations and programmers directed the CBC’s efforts to aid the Canadian war effort.

Cat. No. V32-84/2005 ISBN 0-662-69036-2 Printed in Canada The Battle of the Gulf of St. Lawrence Generations of Canadians have served our country and the world during times of war, military conflict and peace. Through their courage and sacrifice, these men and women have helped to ensure that we live in freedom and peace, while also fostering freedom and peace around the world. The Canada Remembers Program promotes a greater understanding of these Canadians’ efforts and honours the sacrifices and achievements of those who have served and those who supported our country on the home front. The program engages Canadians through the following elements: national and international ceremonies and events including Veterans’ Week activities, youth learning opportunities, educational and public information materials (including on-line learning), the maintenance of international and national Government of Canada memorials and cemeteries (including 13 First World War battlefield memorials in France and Belgium), and the provision of funeral and burial services. Canada’s involvement in the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, and Canada’s efforts during military operations and peace efforts has always been fuelled by a commitment to protect the rights of others and to foster peace and freedom. Many Canadians have died for these beliefs, and many others have dedicated their lives to these pursuits.

    “Man’s Redemption of Man”: Medical Authority and Faith Healers in North America, 1850 - 1930 Heather McIntyre Thesis submitted to the University of Ottawa in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MA in History Department of History Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Heather McIntyre, Ottawa, Canada, 2020 ii ABSTRACT “Man’s Redemption of Man”: Medical Authority and Faith Healers in North America, 1850 – 1930 Heather McIntyre Supervisor: University of Ottawa, 2020 Heather Murray This thesis discusses the various rhetorical, logical, and legal methods the medical profession used to regulate faith healing in North America. In so doing, it illuminates larger questions about the place of religion and authority over the body in modernity. It uses a source base of medical journals, legal documents, and church records to illustrate how doctors positioned themselves as the rational and godly choice for sick people. While faith healing was originally one of many “cures” and kinds of medicine available to North Americans during the 19th century, the medical field rapidly professionalized and supported laws requiring anyone claiming to practice medicine to adhere to one form of scientifically- based medicine. To support this change, physicians used the category of “quackery,” which implies backwardness and superstition, to illustrate the hazards of faith healing and other alternative medicines. Later, the rise of psychology in the 1890s reshaped physicians’ view of faith healing, and they came to explain its claims of success by arguing that “suggestion,” or messages to a person’s unconscious beliefs, can cure particular (gendered) kinds of mental illnesses. Doctors and clergy became curious about the safe use of suggestion, and embarked on experiments like the Emmanuel Movement.
