  • Educational Policy-Making in British Columbia in the 1970S and 1980S
    Let’s Talk about Schools: Educational Policy-Making in British Columbia in the 1970s and 1980s Robert Whiteley he last quarter of the twentieth century is widely seen as a neoliberal age. Rooted in the thought of Austrian Friedrich Hayek and the ideas of Chicago economist Milton Friedman, Tand given purchase through the policies of Ronald Reagan in the United States, Margaret Thatcher in the United Kingdom, and other politicians elsewhere, neoliberal, or “post liberal” (Fleming 1991), governments align themselves ideologically with the political right. They are typified by centralization of power and financial and regulatory control and anti- union legislation, accelerating fiscally conservative policies that promote the private sector and reduce state involvement in the lives of citizens. Governance in British Columbia in the 1970s and 1980s largely followed this model (Dyck 1986). Through privatization and deregulation, the Social Credit governments that held office through most of these years transferred much control of the province’s economy from the public to the private sector. Accompanying these measures was the neoliberal view that education is a private rather than a public good (Apple 2006). Between the mid-1970s and the rewriting of the School Act in 1989, the funding allocated to education in British Columbia declined both in dollar terms and as a percentage of provincial GDP (Bowman 1990); school boards had little decision-making authority and were increasingly required to follow government dictates. Professor of administration and sometime coordinator of political action at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, Richard G. Tow nsend (1988), characterizes politics in British Columbia’s educational system during the 1970s and 1980s as “discordant” and sees it as mirroring the bipolarity in the province’s political culture.

  • City Stories: from Narrative to Practice in Vancouver's
    CITY STORIES: FROM NARRATIVE TO PRACTICE IN VANCOUVER’S OLYMPIC VILLAGE by Lisa Michelle Westerhoff M.A., University of Guelph, 2008 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Resource Management and Environmental Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) November 2015 © Lisa Michelle Westerhoff, 2015 Abstract Calls for a more thoughtful and wholehearted inclusion of the humanities and social sciences in defining and answering questions of sustainability have highlighted the importance of integrating a more comprehensive range of values, knowledges and perspectives into our efforts to transition towards sustainable societies. Far from an abstract gesture, such a shift has practical implications for the way sustainability policies and projects are conceived and carried out, including the design and assessment of urban sustainable neighbourhoods. In this dissertation, I show that the study of narrative offers a potent means of untangling the underlying assumptions and meanings embedded within decisions and characterizations of sustainability and sustainable neighbourhoods, which I explore in the context of Vancouver’s Olympic Village. I tell the story of this unique urban development from the perspectives of the many voices that have created it, from its first planners to its present beneficiaries. By combining narrative with insights and methods from social practice theories, I show how the sustainable intentions of the Olympic Village have challenged and intersected with the lived narratives of its residents and managers, two key constituencies in the neighbourhood’s unfolding. I investigate the neighbourhood as an intervention both structural and symbolic to reveal the normative (i.e.

Sager, (Department of History) Departmental Member iii ABSTRACT Supervisory Committee Jordan Stanger-Ross, (Department of History) Supervisor Eric W. Sager, (Department of History) Departmental Member False Creek has been both the poster child and the ground zero of Vancouver’s acclaimed ‘urban renaissance’ – the transformation of the city from resource town to world-class metropolis. This study explores the interplay between urban redevelopment and the loss of industrial land and blue-collar work in False Creek in the 1970s. I investigate how city officials, urban experts, local workers and business owners viewed and made sense of the transformation of False Creek from an industrial site to a commercial, recreational and residential district. An examination of the testimony of local workers and businessmen as well as of the visions of municipal authorities is necessary to demystify the loss of inner-city industrial land as a natural and inevitable process. I demonstrate how the demise of the industrial sector in False Creek resulted in part from state policy, and from changing understandings about the place of industry in the socio-economic life of the city.

    On the Edge: Redevelopment Projects at the Urban-Marine Interface in Vancouver, BC Ian Alexander Narasimha Sharma A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Marine Affairs University of Washington 2012 Committee: Thomas M. Leschine Nicole Faghin Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Marine & Environmental Affairs . University of Washington Abstract On the Edge: Redevelopment Projects at the Urban-Marine Interface in Vancouver, BC Ian Alexander Narasimha Sharma Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Thomas M. Leschine School of Marine & Environmental Affairs This thesis looks at three urban waterfront redevelopment projects along Vancouver, British Columbiaʼs False Creek that were developed beginning in the 1970s. It seeks to determine to what degree such projects have actually implemented the discourse and perspectives of the planning/design and ecological fields, how successfully they may have done so, and how they have influenced and been influenced by one another. The three projects studied—False Creek South, False Creek North, and Southeast False Creek—were analyzed in terms of their implementation, ecological success, social success, and economic success to determine how well ecological and urban/social discourses were integrated. False Creek South, the earliest of the projects, was one of the earliest residential redevelopment projects in an urban, former industrial setting. Its popularity caused Vancouver to rethink the dominant urban planning paradigms of the time. Although it fundamentally altered the trajectory of the cityʼs urban development, it nevertheless still adhered to modernist ideas of top-down planning and social engineering through the built environment. The natural environment, by contrast, was largely overlooked.

Biographical Sketch Walter Gordon Hardwick was born in 1932, and beginning in 1950 attended UBC, the University of Wisconsin, and the University of Minnesota. He first joined UBC's Department of Geography in 1960, and until his retirement in 1997 taught courses in urban studies, urban geography, and political geography. He also headed the "Vancouver Urban Futures" survey project from 1971 to 1974, and a second related project called "Choosing Our Future" in the late 1980's – these projects served as a basis for urban planning in the Greater Vancouver Regional District and inspired the district's "Livable Region" strategy. Hardwick also had an acute interest in political processes, focusing on urban and regional planning and on education. He was instrumental in writing the 1963 "MacDonald Report", UBC President John B. MacDonald's report on post-secondary education which laid the groundwork for Simon Fraser University and the province's network of community colleges.

  • Former UBC Extension Directors Reminisce British Columbia
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 126 332 CE 007 466 TITLE Former UBC Extension Directors Reminisce 1936-1976. INSTITUTION British Columbia Univ., Vancouver. Center for Continuing Education. PUB DATE 76 NOTE 52p. EDRS PRICE NF -10.83 HC-$3.50 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Administrator Role; Adult Education; Adult Educators; Continuing Education Centers; Educational Administration; *Educational History; Extension Education; Foreign Countries; Professional Recognition; Program Descriptions; *Program Development; *University Extension IDENTIFIERS Canada; *University of British Columbia ABSTRACT Although the roots of university extension activities at the University of British Columbia (UBC) go back further, the extension department was put on a firm basis in 1936, when the Board of Governors appointed Robert England as the first Director of Extension. University extension at UBC has been succeeded bya Center for Continuing Education, and to mark the event, the reminiscences by the four former extension directors has been published. In addition to England's, reminiscences by Gordon H. Shrum, John K. Friesen, and Gordon R. Selman, and a brief foreword and concluding remarks by the director of the new center, Jindra Kulich, comprise the document. The former directors recount how the extension department served the university as its major interface with the British Columbia community, venturing into new areas of service and pioneering activities, some of which were later incorporated by the university as new academic departments. Born in the midst of the Depression with the help of an outside grant, the department has always had to face financial difficulties and marginality, and varied administrative priorities, but it has always enjoyed support and ccoperationamong many faculty members and the community it served.
