Abstract The "Astronauts' Kids" phenomenon was reveaîed by media when a rush of new Chinese immigrants came to Canada in the late 1980's and the eady 1990's. Maq articles emphasized the negative consequences of parental absence on these "Astronauts' Kids" and t heir wealthy living style. However. the cause of this phenomenon and the psychological adjustment proccss of this group were not examined at a deeper level. In this study, seven male Taiwanese immigrant adolescents were intervieweci in the sumrner of 1998. Two resided in Edmonton, Alberta and five resided in Greater Vancouver, B.C.. Their ages ranged fiom sixteen to nineteen. mer analyzing and comparing these adolescents' transcripts. 1 found five main themes: over-protected or distant parent-child relationships, making Chinese firiends, growing up in a daerent culture. establishg roots in Canada and malring a good adjustment to Canada. The seven stones are presented in narrative styles. By this study. exposing these adolescents' imer world to readers, the goal is to help Taiwanese parents or educators to understand the Taiwanese immigrant adolescents' nds. Acknowledgments 1 would like to thank my professors, family and the participants in this study. First of ail. many tharks to my supervisor Dr. Nanci Langford. She was always understanding and supportive during the process of my study. She is a great mentor and also a good fiend to me. I also like to thank my cornmittee members: Dr. Pamela Brink, Dr. Sandra Niessen and Dr. Lili Liu. They encouragecl me to continue this study and gave me their valuable advice. 1 also like to thank my key informant. He shared stories of his adolescence in Canada and helped me to recruit the participants fiom the beginning of my study. I am glad that we were able to continue our tkiendship derthis study. 1 would like to thank for the participants in this study. 1 rdly appreciated their help to make these interviews suc ces^. In the end, I wouId like to thank my Myin Taiwan. They gave me their support to this study. I Jso like to thank my husband Duncan for his tirne spent on reading my thesis constantly during the process of the study.

  • Principles of Bilingual Education in the 1920S: the Imperial Education Conferences and French-English Schooling in Alberta
    Principles of Bilingual Education in the 1920s: The Imperial Education Conferences and French-English Schooling in Alberta by Anne-Marie Lizaire-Szostak A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Administration and Leadership Department of Educational Policy Studies University of Alberta © Anne-Marie Lizaire-Szostak, 2018 Abstract French Immersion and Francophone education in Alberta are both examples of publicly funded French-English bilingual education since the 1970s and 1980s. To better understand French Immersion in Alberta today, as well as the basis of calls to recognize it as rights-based education, it is important to understand how bilingual education evolved during the early years in this province. In this historical research dissertation, bilingual education and policy formation in Alberta are examined in the context of the burgeoning provincial society, within a British dominion, at a time when English liberalism was beginning to recognize national minorities and the Empire was transforming into the Commonwealth. This case study is based on document analysis of reports from the Imperial Education Conferences, especially that of 1923, which promoted bilingual education. The conceptual framework is informed by principles of interpretive historical sociology, drawing upon Kymlicka’s (1995/2000) liberal theoretical argument of national minority rights based on equality. Bilingual education was presented as a parental right at the Imperial Education Conferences

    EVAPOTRANSPIRATION, SURFACE CONDUCTANCE AND WATER-USE EFFICIENCY OF TWO YOUNG HYBRID-POPLAR PLANTATIONS IN CANADA’S ASPEN PARKLAND by Hughie Jones B.Sc., The University of Alberta, 2012 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULLFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTERS OF SCIENCE in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Soil Science) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2014 © Hughie Jones, 2014 Abstract Hybrid poplar (HP) plantations established on former agricultural land in the aspen parkland of Canada have the potential to provide fibre, bio-energy and ecosystem services. The low precipitation and large summertime vapor pressure deficits in the aspen parkland raise questions about HP plantation water use and its effects on regional water supplies. In 2010 and 2011, I began using the eddy-covariance (EC) technique to measure CO2, water vapor and sensible heat fluxes above two young HP plantations planted in 2009 (HP09) and 2011 (HP11) on clay loam Chernozemic soil located near Edmonton, AB and Winnipeg, MB, respectively. Measurements showed that both HP09 and HP11 shifted from carbon (C) sources to C sinks in the 3rd year of growth. EC measured evapotranspiration (E) and climate data were used to calculate bulk surface conductance (Gs) using the inverted Penman-Monteith (PM) equation and were compared to Gs estimates derived from a biophysical model that permits the partitioning of E into canopy transpiration (Ec and evaporation from the soil (Es). Es was estimated using the equilibrium evaporation rate modified to account for soil moisture effects on Es using a soil water content based multiplier (f), and Ec was estimated using a canopy conductance (Gc) sub- model and the PM equation.
