    HUMANITIES & PUBLIC LIFE CONFERENCE Reconsiderations September 18 - 22, 2017 Dawson College All sessions in 5B.16 unless otherwise indicated Monday, September 8th 8:30 – 9:45 a.m. Education or Entertainment: Assessing the Data on Learning Mariam Sambe, Humanities Department, Dawson College A growing number of teachers are incorporating entertainment in their classrooms in the goal of increasing students’ attention, motivation, and achievement. Several studies have illustrated that the use of entertainment increases students’ interest and motivation to participate, but when it comes to the actual interest to learn—not just to play— and more specifically, the outcome in students’ learning, there are still some debates. This paper is a systematic review using a meta-analysis approach with the objective of addressing the effectiveness of edutainment (also known as educational entertainment) on students’ learning. It reports on the results of 13 selected studies that compared edutainment to traditional education. The findings of this meta-analysis will be presented at the conference, as well as recommendations for further research on edutainment. Mariam Sambe is a youth worker and educator, with a special focus on critical pedagogy and AIDS education. She has been involved in the field of education for about 15 years and has worked in all levels from preschool to university. She has managed several educational programs and services in Ethiopia, France, the United States and Canada. Currently she is a PhD Candidate in Educational Studies at Concordia University and a Humanities Professor at Dawson College. Mariam has dedicated most of her life to humanitarian and charitable organizations; particularly those benefiting children and youth, and that promote education.

  • ʿalāʾ Al-Dawla Simnānī's Religious Encounters at the Mongol Court
    ʿAlāʾ Al-DAWLA Simnānī’S RELIGIOUS ENCOUNTERS AT THE MONGOL COURT NEAR TABRIZ Devin DeWeese The life and autobiographical writings of the celebrated Sufi ʿAlāʾ al-Dawla Simnānī (659/1261–736/1336) remain strangely unexplored by students of the political, cultural, and religious history of Ilkhanid Iran. His own long service, and that of his father and two uncles, at the Mongol court gave him a distinctive perspective on court affairs, and his legacy as a Sufi shaykh and prolific author facilitated the preservation of several intimate and self-referential accounts, among Simnānī’s own numerous works and those of his direct disciples, that offer fascinating vignettes of the cul- tural encounter entailed by the interaction of Mongol and Muslim elites in northwest ern Iran. The present study is intended to outline just one aspect of that encounter in the context of Simnānī’s life and the devel- opment of his Sufi career: the diverse religious influences to which he was exposed during the critical period following his initial turn to Sufis m, while in Ilkhanid service. That period saw an increasing tension between Simnānī’s wish to withdraw from court service, and his growing desire to travel to Baghdad to meet a particular Sufi teacher, on the one hand, and the efforts of the Mongol elite—including the īlkhān Arghun him- self—and his own family to keep him at the Mongol court near Tabriz, or, if that proved impossible, then at least to prevent him from going to ­Baghdad; those efforts included a series of religious encounters arranged for Simnānī while he was detained at the royal ordu near Tabriz for sev- eral months in 687/1288.

A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Masters of Art McMaster University © Copyright by Jan-Therese Mendes, September 2011 ! MASTERS OF ARTS (2011) McMaster University (Religious Studies) Hamilton, ON TITLE: Exploring Blackness from Muslim, Female, Canadian Realities: Founding Selfhood, (Re)claiming Identity and Negotiating Belongingness Within/Against a Hostile Nation AUTHOR: Jan-Therese Mendes, B.A. Hons. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Celia E. Rothenberg NUMBER OF PAGES: vi, 159 ! ""! ABSTRACT From what specific socio-cultural “positionality” are African-Canadian Muslim females living their realities? What methods do these women employ to locate, (re)claim, and/or assert an autonomous selfhood from these (peripheral) spaces within the white nation-state? How does their shared socio-religio-racial and gendered marginality, potentially, act as a site for inciting a sense of camaraderie towards one another? Such, increasingly telling, queries frame the content of this thesis which commissions qualitative research methods to unearth answers that rely upon the “particular”--by taking an intimate gaze at thirteen Black Muslim women’s gendered-racialized experiences in Toronto, Ontario. Dividing analysis along the lines of religious status this work examines the dynamics distinct to 1. convert and 2. born/“life-long” Muslim participants’ cultivation of an independent religious as well as racial identity. The anti-Black and anti- Islamic discrimination that continues to punctuate contemporary, urban, “multicultural” Canada later collapses investigation into a unified survey of the ways African-Canadian Muslim women in general, contend with the oppressive socio-cultural forces attempting to infringe on their humanity.

    Herald NAMSCA 3, 2018 Seyedmohammadreza Azarkasb, Seyedheydar Azarkasb, Sara Nikkhahberenjabadi INVESTIGATION OF INDIVIDUAL AND SOCIAL ASPECTS OF HUMAN PSYCHE IN IDEAS OF RHAZES Seyedmohammadreza Azarkasb, Master Islamic philosophy and theology , Imam Sadiq University, Tehran, Iran [email protected] Dr. Seyedheydar Azarkasb, PhD philosophy of Education, Department of Education, Farhangian University, Tehran, Iran. [email protected] Sara Nikkhahberenjabadi, Master Psychology, Azad University, Tehran, Iran [email protected] Abstract. In this research, viewpoints of Rhazes about knowing human psyche have investigated in these sections: human creation, structure of the soul’s parts, relationship between soul and body, reason’s position, mental health of human, social aspect of human psyche and situation after death. The method of this paper is documentary analysis and reviewing of library resources. The statistical society of this research is accessible historical resources, works and documents such as three valuable remained works of Rhazes (al-Tib al-Rouhani, al-Sirah al-Falsafiah and Akhlaq al-Tabib). In addition, the researches about him are used to understand his lifetime’s situations and apprehension of his works. About human’s creation, Rhazes believes that soul belonged to a transcendental world before its merging with matter, and was uncreated. Rhazes -like many of Islamic philosophers- holds that reason is the distinguisher between human and animal and it deserves to command other two faculties. He mixed this idea -that was taken from Plato- with the idea of moderation -which was taken from Aristotle- to make the theory of balance of faculties. In Rhazes opinion, if the balance of these faculties be disorders and one of them does an extreme act, the human’s soul will become sick.
