Caton A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Adult Education, Community Development and Counselling Psychology Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto 1998 Abstract This study examines women's experience, holistic politics and transformative practice in Toronto's sustainable transportation movement, a sub-section of the broader urban renewal and environmental movements. Sources for this study include reflection on the researcher's own experience within the movement as well as formal. open-ended interviews with women practitioners/activists in the movement. The research shows that women's participation and the question of who has power to set priorities and receive recognition for their work, are significant issues and impact upon both the political culture and the overall political effectiveness of the movement. Women's claims for equality, recognition, respect and status are, in fact, an intrinsic part of building a more effective and holistic politics for the sustainable transportation movement. The findings of this study also may have relevance beyond the sustainable transportation movement to other environmental, community and neighbourhood groups as well. Acknowledgments Researching and writing this thesis has been a long, challenging process. I could not imagine all the years of working on this project without the love and friendship of my husband and lifepartner, Gordon Laird. His belief both in me and this project have been beneficial beyond words. Special thanks to my mother, Charlotte Caton, who has provided her support, encouragement, and especially her love over the years. I am thrilled that our theses will sit side by side on the library bookshelf at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE). I have benefited from the exchange of ideas and support from numerous professors and students at OISE. Of these, I would particularly like to thank my academic mentor and thesis supervisor Angela Miles. She consistently encouraged and challenged me intellectually; her interest in this project has made it both a more enjoyable process and a better piece of research. I am also appreciative of thesis committee member Margrit Eichler's constructive feedback. Marilyn Struthers, of my thesis support group, helped to reduce the isolation of thesis-writing early on. My friends and colleagues in Toronto's sustainable transportation movement are a constant source of inspiration. In particular, I have been sustained by the wisdom, moral support and generous encouragement of Sue Zielinski and Lesley Wood. Several other people gave important feedback on the ideas or on drafts of the chapters including Lyn Adamson, Barb Brook, Joan Doiron, Lois James, Gillian Kranias, Sally McKay, Lisa Salsberg and Nancy Smith Lea. A short leave in the summer of 1997 was made possible by my employer, the Ontario Healthy Communities Coalition, and enabled me to write the original draft of this thesis. This research study has been an important part of my life for over four years. There have been times my motivation and energy waned. Through this long process, I have been encouraged by the women who took an interest in this study. 1 have learned an enormous amount and will be forever grateful to the women who participated in this study and who opened up their homes and lives to me. I am inspired by their work, their insight, their creativity and their commitment. I hope that this research gives back to women in the sustainable transportation movement at least a small portion of what I have gained.

"Sustainable transportation" is a diverse, vibrant movement that brings together people from urban renewal organizations, environmental movements, and community and neighbourhood groups to address issues of air quality, city planning, equity, access, cycling, walking, public transit, rail and land use. The primary vision of the movement is to create transportation alternatives to auto and fossil fuel dependent society and culture. Like most social movements, issues of gender infuse much of its work; however, the sustainable transportation movement has yet to develop a critical, internal dialogue on gender issues and concerns. As in other movements there has been some reluctance to develop a dialogue on the relationship between gender politics2 and the movement's political culture. When this study began to take shape in 1994, it was little more than an inkling of a discussion that seemed to be waiting to happen. I had been active in community, neighbourhood and environmental organizing in Toronto's multi-faceted urban renewal movement. Specifically, the sustainable transportation sub-section of

  • The Brooklyn College Foundation Annual Report, 2004–2005
    The Brooklyn College Foundation Annual Report, 2004–2005 On the cover: Architectural plan for realization of the campus design envisioned by Brooklyn College’s founding architect, Randolph Evans, in 1935. The plan proposes new entrances to Roosevelt and James Halls, a new West Quad to mirror the existing East Quad, and a new building to anchor the entire campus west of Bedford Avenue. The West Quad Project is one of several ambitious plans the College has launched to build a modern, student-centered campus conducive to learning and scholarship. Dear Friends of Brooklyn College At Brooklyn College in the last year, we have been busy building— not only the physical campus, but also the educational environment that best encourages vigorous learning and scholarship. Our priorities result largely from initiatives we launched during the first five years of my presidency—and particularly within the last twelve months. These include expanding the campus, renewing the natural sciences, and broadening our fiscal base. The physical transformation of the campus continues apace. We have doubled the size of the Morton and Angela Topfer Library Café, and it is open again 24/7. Over the summer, we renovated and modernized eleven lecture halls in Ingersoll Hall. We move ahead with the West Quad Project, laying out a new quadrangle and pouring the foundation for a new building. We have begun a major rebuilding of our science facilities and our science curriculum. The project will proceed in two stages. First, Roosevelt Hall will be transformed into a science building; then we will renovate Ingersoll Hall. The science faculty meanwhile has been discussing and defining the shape science teaching and research should take at the College.

    THE BROOKLYN COLLEGE FOUNDATION Annual Report 2010 - 2011 DEAR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS, The fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, was one of solid growth for the Brooklyn College Foundation. The number of contributions from alumni and friends continued to rise and the total value of gifts and pledges nearly doubled over the previous year. I am pleased to report that we are making considerable progress toward the $200 million goal of our Foundation for Success Campaign. Although the amount raised is impressive, the impact of these donations is what counts. Through the generosity of friends, alumni and private foundations, we were able to grant over 1,200 scholarships and awards. We have provided funding for students to take advantage of unique learning opportunities from New Orleans to Peru, from Paris to South Africa and, of course, right here in Brooklyn. And we have supported new facilities and equipment necessary to provide students with a 21st century education of the highest quality. As chair of the foundation, I am grateful to my fellow trustees for their engagement and leadership. The continuing impact of the foundation is due in large part to their strategic counsel and dedication. I am also grateful for the privilege to work alongside President Karen L. Gould. Under her leadership, Brooklyn College has charted an ambitious and exciting vision for the future with student success at its core. On behalf of the trustees and staff of the Brooklyn College Foundation, I want to thank everyone who has contributed to our mission to provide access to excellence for the students of this great institution.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Throughol,lt history architecture has served the noble purpose of bringing artists together for mutual achievement. Most often the record of this collaboration has pointed up how well the beauty of one art form may be enhanced by another. Much architecture of this century has ignored the added life which the artist can invest in a structure. It has been a period during which the architect, pressed by the client to solve a continuous series of economic problems dealing with the construction and use of building space, appeared to neglect the other arts. In themselves, the practical preoccupations of the architect have been a strong force in keeping the arts separate. Yet, beyond that force there was a professional ideal of the architect that for a generation made the separation near complete. Unbound by the structural limitations of the past .•• with new materials and methods of building to express form, texture and volume .•. the architect was challenged to make his structure a thing of beauty sufficient unto itself. Now there is evidence that this attitude is changing. We are being reminded of the value of aesthetic collaboration, and, in turn, we are becoming aware of a new association between the architect and the artist. But the relationship appears to be different .from that which existed in the past. It is one conceived in a manner that satisfies both the sensitive and the rational man. It is less an attempt to integrate, than to give meaning to space by relating form and use to human proportions and by rejoining the arts under a common roof.
