We will discuss the positive and negative implications of “indigenizing the academy.” This will give Mi’kmaq perspective into these issues as well as educate other students on how Mi’kmaq believe we should move forward. Lastly, this presentation will end in an open talking circle which will allow participants to openly and respectfully express their opinions and questions about the concepts discussed, as it is believed in Mi’kmaq culture openness, respect for others opinions, and working together is key in moving forward with reconciliation in Canada. I’m Making This Up as I Go: how to be an expert on things you know nothing about - Kathleen Reid Learning Lab MCCAIN ROOM 1198 This workshop will explore the appeal of student leadership, and how deceiving the reality of the work can actually be. We’ll deconstruct the perceptions that people have about student leadership, the sub-conscious need for validation of being ‘busy’, and how the historic structures of student leadership set us up for failure. Hopefully, folks will leave the space with some clarity, after being pushed to be honest with themselves about their intentions. ** Warning: please be prepared to be critical about the institution you have been placed within, and to evaluate how your actions are part of a systemic bigger picture Design Thinking - Yaser Alkaylaye & Selin Dogan Learning Lab MCCAIN ROOM 2016 Design thinking and starting lean are universal skills that everyone should have, no matter what their major is. Each one of us is a builder or creator, and this session will empower us to build new and innovative things in a meaningful manner. This workshop will focus on how each and everyone of us can become a leader in our own ways by using design thinking. Tigers Fight Back: Tackling Mental Illness Together - Katherine Dib & Kisa Kakembo Show and Tell MCCAIN ROOM 2021 This workshop will present strategies on how to support your peers through their battle with mental illness. You will learn the approach be NICE: (N)otice the signs, (I)nitiate dialogue, (C)are, (E)xpert involvement.

Let’s Sprout! - Sarah Aspinall & Siobhan Takala Learning Lab SUB ROOM 224 Through creative expression and facilitated conversation we will discuss our relationship to nature, the benefits of being outside, and our impact on the environment. Get your creative juices flowing as we explore the meanings and values of nature. We will discuss how recognizing our connection to nature creates a foundation to build our individual capacity to be sustainability leaders. Concurrent Session 1: Snapshot Sessions: Personal Leadership The Challenges of Leadership – Caitlyn Grady Snapshot SUB Council Chambers All leaders experience self-doubt at some point in their careers. While often considered detrimental to success, this talk will explore the role of self-doubt in creating more humble and capable leaders. Caitlin will share her personal experiences within Dalhousie societies to illustrate the benefits of a healthy dose of self-doubt. The Uncomfortable Zone – Simon Miller Snapshot SUB Council Chambers You’ve all heard the traditional idea that leaving your comfort zone is what leads to happiness or success in life. This talk wants to focus on the foundation of that concept. I went through a period of doubt about the notion of leaving the comfort zone. It’s easy for a skeptic to question why they would want to leave a place of comfort in the first place. After all, isn’t the comfort zone suppose to be comfortable? My doubts lead me to a stronger understanding of what ‘leaving the comfort zone’ actually means. The goal of this talk is to closely examine the comfort zone, and reveal that the comfort zone is really a place of discomfort! Diversity as a Source of Strength - Mariam Ragab Snapshot SUB Council Chambers It is important for leaders to realize why cultural, socioeconomic, and physical diversity is integral to developing a better world around us. Often, people unintentionally alienate people in an attempt to include them. This workshop will show us how the world is an open space, where the sharing of information and achievement across diversity barriers should not be considered an exception, but a norm. Leadership vs Influence - Yasmin Abdullhussain Highlighted Project SUB Council Chambers This talk will discuss all the tools Yasmin found effective to lead The Dalhousie Islamic Relief Society. We will learn about the myths of being a “great leader”. We will learn how to influence the people around you, to teach them to lead in their own way to define and create positive change.

  • Mass-Mediated Canadian Politics: CBC News in Comparative Perspective
    Mass-Mediated Canadian Politics: CBC News in Comparative Perspective Blake Andrew Department of Political Science McGill University Leacock Building, Room 414 855 Sherbrooke Street West Montreal, QC H3A 2T7 blake.andrew at mcgill.ca *Paper prepared for the Annual General Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association, Ottawa, Canada, May 27-29, 2009. Questions about news media bias are recurring themes of mainstream debate and academic inquiry. Allegations of unfair treatment are normally based on perceptions of inequality – an unfair playing field. News is dismissed as biased if people think that a political group or candidate is systemically advantaged (or disadvantaged) by coverage. When allegations of this nature surface, the perpetrator is usually one of three usual suspects: the media (writ large), a newsroom, or a medium (e.g. Adkins Covert and Wasburn 2007; D'Alessio and Allen 2000; Groeling and Kernell 1998; Niven 2002; Shoemaker and Cohen 2006). Headlines and stories are marshaled for evidence; yet the integrity of headlines as proxies for their stories is rarely considered as an avenue for testing and conceptualizing claims of media bias. It is common knowledge that headlines are supposed to reflect, at least to some degree in the space they have, the content that follows. Yet this myth has thus far received only sparse attention in social science (Althaus, Edy and Phalen 2001; Andrew 2007). It is a surprising oversight, partly because news headlines are clearly not just summaries. They also signal the importance of, and attempt to sell the news story that follows. The interplay of these imperatives is what makes a test of the relationship between headline news and story news particularly intriguing.

  • Annual Report 2017
    Annual Report 2017 Mission Vision War Child’s mission is to work with war-affected War Child’s vision is for a world communities to help children reclaim their childhood where no child knows war. through access to education, opportunity and justice. War Child takes an active role in raising public awareness around the impact of war on communities and the shared responsibility to act. War Child Canada Board of Directors Michael Eizenga (Chair) Denise Donlon Nils Engelstad Omar Khan Jeffrey Orridge Elliot Pobjoy All photographs © War Child Canada Cover illustration by Eric Hanson © Eric Hanson Beneficiary names have been changed for their own protection. Letter from the Founder and Chair Dear Friends, To listen to some commentators talk about human rights, you would think that they represent the most restrictive system of regulations, designed to threaten the sovereignty of democratically elected governments. But take a look at the Universal Declaration and the Convention on the Rights of the Child and it is hard to see where the controversy lies. The right to life, liberty and security. The right to freedom from slavery or torture. The right to free expression. The right to an education. The right to be protected from harm. These are not onerous obligations on government but rather the basic protections one should expect, particularly for children, from a functioning state. The Convention on the Rights of the Child is War Child Canada’s guiding document. As you will read in this report, everything we do is in support of the rights enshrined within it. While the Convention is directed at governments, the responsibilities it describes can be equally applied to non-government organizations, community leaders and ordinary citizens.

  • Solo News Box, Kevin Posted the Drawing I Gave Him on His Instagram This Month
    With my proofreader on holiday in China and Liam touring America with Steven Page, I’m writing solo this issue; all typos are therefore my fault and you can shout at me for them. Lots of Steve news this issue. It’s nice now the uncertainty between them has cleared and I no longer have to feel awkward about including Steve news in here. As for his new album, I’d describe it as a Beatles-inspired soundtrack to a Broadway musical about the current political climate; your mileage will vary depending on how appealing that idea sounds to you. And since this is kind of my solo news box, Kevin posted the drawing I gave him on his Instagram this month. Considering it took 9 months to draw, I’m really glad he and so many others like it. Test your Kevin knowledge: On the wall are songs and on the floor bands he’s played with - Mil NEWS Announced late this month, ‘Not a Retrospective’ is a new mini-documentary filmed during the Canadian Fake Nudes tour last year coming soon for BNL fans everywhere!

  • Essays on Technology-Driven Marketing
    ESSAYS ON TECHNOLOGY-DRIVEN MARKETING Zijun (June) Shi Submitted to the Tepper School of Business in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Dissertation Committee Kannan Srinivasan (Chair) Hui Li Xiao Liu Alan Montgomery Kaifu Zhang April, 2019 I © Coypyright by Zijun (June) Shi, 2019 All rights reserved. II Abstract: With the development of technology in business applications, new marketing problems emerge, creating challenges for both practitioners and researchers. In this dissertation, I investigate marketing issues that involve new technology or require research methodologies enabled by new technology. I take an interdisciplinary approach, combining structural modeling, analytical modeling, machine learning, and causal inference, to study problems on pricing, media hype, and branding in three essays. In the first essay, we examine the optimality of the freemium pricing strategy. Despite its immense popularity, the freemium business model remains a complex strategy to master and often a topic of heated debate. Adopting a generalized version of the screening framework à la Mussa and Rosen (1978), we ask when and why a firm should endogenously offer a zero price on its low-end product when users' product usages generate network externalities on each other. Our analysis indicates freemium can only emerge if the high- and low-end products provide asymmetric marginal network effects. In other words, the firm would set a zero price for its low- end product only if the high-end product provided larger utility gain from an expansion of the firm's user base. In contrast to conventional beliefs, a firm pursuing the freemium strategy might increase the baseline quality on its low-end product above the “efficient” level, which seemingly reduces differentiation.

  • Samantha Nutt, M.D
    Samantha Nutt, M.D. For 15 years, Dr. Samantha Nutt has been at the frontline of many of the world's major crises – from Iraq to Afghanistan, Somalia to the Congo, and Sierra Leone to Darfur. As one of the most original and influential voices in the humanitarian arena, she is a go‐to authority for many of North America's leading media outlets. In 1995, 25‐year‐old Nutt, a recent medical‐school graduate and a field volunteer for UNICEF, touched down in Baidoa, Somalia, "the City of Death." What she saw there – gangs of young men roaming the streets armed with rocket launchers; a woman in a clinic line holding a dead baby; an aid agency working in such an unsafe environment that its workers had to travel with armed escorts high on drugs – would spur her onto a lifetime of passionate advocacy for children and families in war‐torn areas around the world. It also provided the basis for her forthcoming book, Damned Nations: Greed, Guns, Armies, and Aid, a brilliant account of her experiences providing hands‐on care in some of the world's most violent flashpoints while building the world class nonprofit War Child North America. Combining original research with her personal story, the book is a deeply thoughtful meditation on war as it is being waged around the world against millions of civilians – primarily women and children – and an exposé of how we facilitate and fuel these seemingly faraway atrocities. Laying out real solutions to these problems, Dr. Nutt shows how to move beyond outdated notions of charity towards a more progressive, inclusive, and respectful worldview.
