Cochrane). Part 2, "A Cross-Cultural Comparison of J. R. Kidd's Contribution to Adult Education" (NancyJ. Cochrane), is an assessment of Kidd's impact upon the field of adult education and takes a more structured approach. Results ofsurvey comparing Kidd's contribution to adult education in India and Canada are reported.

Radical social movements and countercultures challenged the conservatism of the preceding decade, rejected traditional forms of politics, and demanded an alternative based on the principles of social justice, individual freedom and an end to oppression on all fronts. Yet in Canada a unique political movement emerged which embraced these principles but proposed that New Left social movements – the student and anti-war movements, the women’s liberation movement and Canadian nationalists – could bring about radical political change not only through street protests and sit-ins, but also through participation in electoral politics.

  • John Weinzweig and the Canadian Mediascape, 1941-1948
    John Weinzweig and the Canadian Mediascape, 1941-1948 by Erin Elizabeth Scheffer A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Erin Elizabeth Scheffer 2019 John Weinzweig and the Canadian Mediascape Erin Elizabeth Scheffer Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto 2019 Abstract This dissertation explores John Weinzweig’s incidental music for radio and film and its context in Canadian cultural life. Between 1941 and 1948, Weinzweig composed music for nearly one hundred CBC radio docudrama episodes and for four National Film Board documentaries. Weinzweig’s time at the CBC and NFB was his first large scale success as a working composer, following his graduate studies at the Eastman School of Music. Weinzweig’s incidental music was publicly broadcast across Canada, and can be interpreted in light of how it represents Canada during an anxious and difficult yet significant time in the nation’s history through the Second World War and the immediate post-war era. These works, featuring new music broadcast by organizations in their infancy, helped to shape audience perceptions of a rapidly changing country. I begin by situating Weinzweig’s documentary music both temporally and philosophically. The opening chapter explores his biography, the musical context of the 1940s in Canada, and the creation of the CBC and NFB, and it closes by discussing significant themes in the works: indigeneity, northernness, dominion over the landscape, and nation and national affect. The subsequent three chapters divide Weinzweig’s docudramas and documentaries by topic: World War Two propaganda and postwar reconstruction, Canada’s north, and finally a discussion of Weinzweig’s only radio drama The Great Flood , which premiered on CBC’s ii cultural program Wednesday Night in 1948.

    Including Women: The Establishment and Integration of Canadian Women’s History into Toronto Ontario Classrooms 1968-1993 by Rose Fine-Meyer A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Theory and Policy Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Rose Fine-Meyer 2012 Including Women: The Establishment and Integration of Canadian Women’s History into Toronto Ontario Classrooms 1968-1993 Rose Fine-Meyer Doctor of Philosophy Department of Theory and Policy Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto 2012 Abstract Social movement activism throughout the 1960s and 1970s provided space for feminist concerns in a variety of arenas. Women's movement activism and women's scholarship in history challenged the ways in which women’s experiences had been marginalized or omitted in school history programs and curricula. Women's organizations developed and broadened networks, created and published resources, and lobbied governments and institutions. Their widespread activism spilled into a range of educational circles and influenced history teachers in altering curricula to include women in course materials. Advocating for women, on a curricular or professional development level, however, was complicated because of entrenched neo-liberal systems in place within education institutions. Although the Ontario Ministry of Education and the Toronto Board of Education demonstrated clear support for a wide range of gender equity- ii based initiatives, they committed to implementing a 'piecemeal' approach to curricular change. The fundamental work to include women in history curricula relied heavily on grassroots networks that allowed for women’s experiences to leak into classrooms, and were responsible for bringing women’s voices into the history curricula.

  • Victor Feldbrill: Canadian Conductor Extraordinaire
    Victor Feldbrill: Canadian Conductor Extraordinaire. By Walter Pitman. Toronto: Dundurn Press, 2010. 430 pp. ISBN 978-1-55488-768-2. $40.00 Victor Feldbrill (b. 1924) is one of the most important Canadian orchestral conductors of the mid-to-late twentieth century. A champion of contemporary Canadian music, Feldbrill is also an advocate of orchestral concerts for young people, a patient but demanding teacher, and a builder of both student and professional orchestras. At the same time, judging his career as a conductor is a difficult proposition. Outside of his seminal recordings of music by such composers as Adaskin, Beckwith, Pentland, Weinzweig, Ridout and Somers, he has a relatively small discography. One can hope that the Toronto and Winnipeg symphonies, the Geidei Philharmonia in Tokyo, the CBC, the BBC (of which he was a frequent guest conductor) and other ensembles might someday release his concert recordings. Even if this happens, however, one has to take into consideration the fact that Feldbrill—perhaps with the exception of his stint as Resident Conductor of the Toronto Symphony in the mid-1970s—never received the opportunity to perform subscription series concerts with a first-tier orchestra on a regular basis. Without question, Feldbrill has a wide circle of admirers today, but without an extensive discography, his reputation a generation from now is not assured. The author of this biography, Walter Pitman, is a former member of the Ontario and federal parliaments and Ryerson University president who shares Feldbrill’s love of classical music and left-leaning politics. Over the past decade, Pitman has documented the lives of Torontonians who have made distinguished contributions to classical music in Canada, including Louis Applebaum (2002), Harry Freedman and Mary Morrison (2006), and Elmer Iseler (2008).

  • 'EQUALITY NOW!': RACE, RACISM and RESISTANCE in 1970S
    ‘EQUALITY NOW!’: RACE, RACISM AND RESISTANCE IN 1970s TORONTO By Małgorzata Kieryło A thesis submitted to the Department of History in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada August 2012 Copyright © Małgorzata Kieryło, 2012 Abstract This thesis explores the recognition of institutional racism in Ontario. It examines discourses of institutional racism between the late 1960s and early 1980s and argues that the recognition of institutional racism at the provincial and national levels was facilitated by overt acts of racism in one of Canada’s most populous and diverse cities – Toronto. The targets of overt racism were new immigrants from decolonizing nations who utilized the discourse of rights in the context of an increase in racist incidents to press for state recognition of institutional racism. This rise in racially motivated violence concerned most Canadians as it went against Canadians’ self-perception as a raceless, tolerant and peaceful society. The recognition of structural racism was a gradual and contested process as municipal, provincial and federal government actors often denied its existence and deemed overt acts of racism aberrant. When racist acts did occur, state officials and media reports blamed the increased racial tensions on the personal prejudice of extremists. Activist groups composed of visible minorities and human rights activists were key in the formation of a counter-narrative that challenged this persistent denial of structural racism. These groups played a fundamental role in redefining the nature of racism in Canadian society. A central theme of this dissertation is that disintegrating race relations allowed for a redefinition of the Canadian state.
