  • Language Attitudes Towards Canadian French and English, 1691-1902: the Emergence of the Canadian Voices
    Language Attitudes towards Canadian French and English, 1691-1902: The Emergence of the Canadian Voices by Beau Brock A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in French Linguistics Department of French Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Beau Brock 2014 Language Attitudes towards Canadian French and English, 1691- 1902: The Emergence of the Canadian Voices Beau Brock Doctor of Philosophy in French Linguistics Department of French Studies University of Toronto 2014 Abstract This dissertation examines the origins and development of attitudes (in the guise of beliefs and stereotypes) towards Canadian French and Canadian English during the 18th and 19th centuries, as expressed primarily by foreign travellers to North America. By conducting a comparative study of these two languages, I aim to build a bridge between French Canadian studies on Canadian French, and Anglophone Canadian studies on Canadian English, two fields which have historically been distinct and separate. The time period studies (1691-1902) is marked by major political and social change, including the English Conquest, the creation of Upper and Lower Canada (and later the United Province of Canada), and the Dominion, all of which had major, lasting effects on the development and status of both languages. In order to study the evolution of language attitudes during this period, I employed content analysis on the metalinguistic and cultural commentary in a wide variety of texts, including travel journals, scholarly and newspaper articles, monographs, and prescriptive texts, written in French and English. My analysis has shown that British commentators were the most critical of both languages (and peoples), and relied almost entirely on beliefs and stereotypes rather than empirical evidence to ii support their claims.

The CCSRC is composed of nine total members, with one appointed by each Councilmember with a formal or informal background of the history and geography of New Orleans. Mayor LaToya Cantrell and the City Planning Commission appointed the remaining two members. The Commission was charged with several key responsibilities, which included conducting a thorough research and public engagement process to develop a comprehensive set of renaming recommendations for streets, parks, and places across the city. In the course of auditing the list of City streets beyond those initially identified by the New Orleans Public Library, the Commission consulted a panel of experts to provide an additional set of names, which was used to formulate the recommendations listed in this report.

  • Playing at a Location Near You
    Playing at a Location Near You Hillsdale College Hillsdale College, founded by Freewill Baptists as Michigan Central College in Spring Arbor, Michigan, began classes in December of 1844. The college later moved to Hillsdale, Michigan in 1853 and assumed its current name. As stated in the Preamble to its Articles of Incorporation, the College undertakes its work "…grateful to God for the inestimable blessings resulting from the prevalence of civil and religious liberty and intelligent piety in the land, and believing that the diffusion of sound learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings…." Though it was established by Freewill Baptists, the College has been officially non- denominational since its inception. Like the American Founders, the College emphasizes the importance of the common moral truths that bind all Americans, while recognizing the importance of religion for the maintenance of a free society. One of only 119 American colleges awarding four-year liberal arts degrees in 1850, Hillsdale was the first American college to prohibit in its charter all discrimination based on race, religion, or sex. That is, Hillsdale was the first American college to be chartered on the principle of nondiscrimination. Hillsdale's Founders shared a devotion to the principle of equality with the Founders of America who had declared in 1776 that "all men are created equal." Because of its dedication to the principle of equality, Hillsdale became an early force for the abolition of slavery and for the education of black students; in fact, blacks were admitted immediately after the 1844 founding. The College became the second in the nation to grant four-year liberal arts degrees to women.

  • 1 FINAL REPORT Panel of Experts, New Orleans City Council Street
    FINAL REPORT Panel of Experts, New Orleans City Council Street Renaming Commission Preamble How do we do justice to the centuries of history that have unfolded on these 350 square miles of land surrounding the Mississippi River? What is the relationship between this diverse history, its reflection in our city’s officially named spaces and places, and the values we strive to enact as a community? This report, prepared with the input of more than forty of the city’s leading scholars and writers, themselves drawing on more than a century of the most cutting-edge historical and cultural interpretation, offers no definitive answers to these questions. We have been guided throughout though by the conviction that asking these questions, developing a collaborative process, telling the multitudinous stories contained in this report, and reconsecrating some of the spaces in this city is an imperative as New Orleans enters its fourth century of existence as a city. The collective 111 suggestions for renaming streets and parks below makes no claim toward being a definitive history of the city. For every musical innovator like Jelly Roll Morton, Mahalia Jackson, or Mac Rebennack included there is a Bunk Johnson, Emma Jackson, Ernie K-Doe and countless others who have been left out. The four individuals included who fled the men who owned them as slaves near present-day Lakeview are but four of the thousands in this city’s history whose collective individual actions over centuries forced a reluctant nation to finally begin to live up to its highest ideals. The rolls of the First Louisiana Native Guard of the U.S.

The more I read about African American elites, the more I began to question the idea that they were powerless in a white dominated society. Although it was true that the vast majority of African Americans had very little control over the circumstances of their lives, the same was true for the vast majority of poor and immigrant white people during the last decades of the 1800s. I was encouraged by several professors to explore my questions in greater depth during my masters program as well as my doctoral studies. The result was this final academic project that answered some questions, but which provided so many more. I will always be grateful to Dr.

    Without Consent An analysis of student directory information practices in U.S. schools, and impacts on privacy by Pam Dixon data visualization: John Emerson editing: Robert Gellman embargoed draft Without Consent: An analysis of student directory information practices in U.S. schools, and impacts on privacy World Privacy Forum www.worldprivacyforum.org © Copyright 2020 Pam Dixon, Author; Robert Gellman, Editor Cover and design by John Emerson All rights reserved. EBook/Digital: ISBN: 978-0-9914500-1-5 Publication Date: April 2020 Nothing in this material constitutes legal advice. Brief Summary of Report If data is the new oil, then student data is among the most desirable data wells of all. While some states have enacted laws to better protect students and their privacy, policymakers have left a formidable front door open: that is, the ability for detailed student information to be made public by schools un- der an exemption in the federal student privacy law, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. This exemption is called the Directory Information exemption. When schools choose to, they can designate certain student information of their choice to be made public without prior consent. This information becomes directory information. To provide a balance, Congress provided a right that stu- dents and parents can restrict unconsented public disclosure of their directory information. Eligible students can place this restriction on their directory information by submitting an opt out request at the school. Parents or guardians of students under 18 will have to place the restriction for the student. This right to restrict disclosure is an essential one, but students, parents and others may not be aware of the importance and profound privacy impact of this information.
