  • Female Police Bodies and the Disruption to the Image of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police
    Women in Red Serge: Female Police Bodies and the Disruption to the Image of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police by Bonnie Reilly Schmidt M.A. (History), Simon Fraser University, 2006 B.A., University of the Fraser Valley, 2004 Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Bonnie Reilly Schmidt 2013 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Fall 2013 Approval Name: Bonnie Reilly Schmidt Degree: Doctor of Philosophy (History) Title of Thesis: Women in Red Serge: Female Police Bodies and the Disruption to the Image of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Examining Committee: Chair: Jeremy Brown Assistant Professor of History Willeen Keough Senior Supervisor Associate Professor of History Mark Leier Supervisor Professor of History Elise Chenier Supervisor Associate Professor of History Lara Campbell Internal/External Examiner Associate Professor of Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies Jane Nicholas External Examiner Associate Professor Department of Women’s Studies Lakehead University Date Defended/Approved: October 28, 2013 ii Partial Copyright Licence iii Ethics Statement iv Abstract The arrival of women in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in the mid-1970s disrupted the masculine image of a police force that was intimately connected to idealized Canadian manhood and the formation of the nation. Yet, women have been noticeably absent from the historical record of the RCMP, allowing the figure of the heroic male Mountie to continue his dominance in official, academic, and popular histories. Central to these discourses has been the male police body which has been positioned as the only body capable of enforcing the law in Canada.

The Inuit Movement in Canada's Newest Territory Holly Ann Dobbins Syracuse University Follow this and additional works at: https://surface.syr.edu/etd Part of the Social and Behavioral Sciences Commons Recommended Citation Dobbins, Holly Ann, "Nunavut, A Creation Story. The Inuit Movement in Canada's Newest Territory" (2019). Dissertations - ALL. 1097. https://surface.syr.edu/etd/1097 This Dissertation is brought to you for free and open access by the SURFACE at SURFACE. It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract This is a qualitative study of the 30-year land claim negotiation process (1963-1993) through which the Inuit of Nunavut transformed themselves from being a marginalized population with few recognized rights in Canada to becoming the overwhelmingly dominant voice in a territorial government, with strong rights over their own lands and waters. In this study I view this negotiation process and all of the activities that supported it as part of a larger Inuit Movement and argue that it meets the criteria for a social movement. This study bridges several social sciences disciplines, including newly emerging areas of study in social movements, conflict resolution, and Indigenous studies, and offers important lessons about the conditions for a successful mobilization for Indigenous rights in other states. In this research I examine the extent to which Inuit values and worldviews directly informed movement emergence and continuity, leadership development and, to some extent, negotiation strategies.

This period witnessed a devolution of power from the federal government to the Yukon government that resulted in a shift of the day-to-day political tensions and disputes in Yukon moving from a federal-territorial orientation to a territorial-local one. Two key themes are consistently present in Yukon’s political and educational history.
