  • “Just Do It!” Self-Determination for Complex Minorities
    “Just Do It!” Self-Determination for Complex Minorities By Janique F. Dubois A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Janique F. Dubois, 2013 “Just Do It!” Self-Determination for Complex Minorities Janique F. Dubois Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science University of Toronto 2013 Abstract This thesis explores how Indigenous and linguistic communities achieve self- determination without fixed cultural and territorial boundaries. An examination of the governance practices of Métis, Francophones and First Nations in Saskatchewan reveals that these communities use innovative membership and participation rules in lieu of territorial and cultural criteria to delineate the boundaries within which to exercise political power. These practices have allowed territorially dispersed communities to build institutions, adopt laws and deliver services through province-wide governance structures. In addition to providing an empirical basis to support non-territorial models of self-determination, this study offers a new approach to governance that challenges state- centric theories of minority rights by focusing on the transformative power communities generate through stories and actions. ii Acknowledgements I would not have been able to complete this project without the generosity and kindness of family, friends, mentors and strangers. I am indebted to all of those who welcomed me in their office, invited me into their homes and sat across from me in restaurants to answer my questions. For trusting me with your stories and for the generosity of your time, thank you, marci, merci, hay hay. I am enormously grateful to my committee members for whom I have the utmost respect as scholars and as people.

  • University of Saskatchewan: the Centre for the Study of Co-Operatives
    International Journal of CO-OPERATIVE ACCOUNTING AND MANAGEMENT, 2020 VOLUME 3, ISSUE 1 DOI: 10.36830/IJCAM.20205 University of Saskatchewan: The Centre for the Study of Co-operatives Merle Massie, Centre for the Study of Co-operatives, University of Saskatchewan Abstract: The Centre for the Study of Co-operatives at the University of Saskatchewan was opened in 1984, through financial and in-kind collaboration between the university, the government, and the co-operative sector. A centre-scholar model brought together academics from multiple disciplines, to deliberately build an interdisciplinary approach to co-operative questions. Researchers at the centre valued academic and non- academic knowledge, offering the ability to approach questions with the strength of multiple perspectives. This paper uses historical methodology to trace the centre’s deliberate stance and approach to interdisciplinarity, the work undertaken by centre faculty to conceptually wrestle with moving from multi-disciplinary to interdisciplinary research, and the resulting close connection between interdisciplinary studies and co- operative studies. Merle Massie is a Saskatchewan historian, writer and farmer. She is currently the coordinator of undergraduate research at the University of Saskatchewan. Previously, she has worked on contract for the Centre for the Study of Co-operatives. Acknowledgements: This paper is based on a number of interviews with present and past staff, faculty and board members who have served the Centre for the Study of Co-operatives at the University of Saskatchewan. Their forthright vision, stories and memories are warmly acknowledged. Keywords: Co-operative Studies; Interdisciplinarity; multi-disciplinarity, centre-scholar model; institutional history Introduction The Centre for the Study of Co-operatives (CSC) opened in June 1984 in the Diefenbaker Building at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.
