Irreconcilable Differences: the Corporatization of Canadian Universities
Irreconcilable Differences: The Corporatization of Canadian Universities by Jamie Brownlee A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology (Specialization in Political Economy) Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014, Jamie Brownlee Abstract To date, there has yet to be a comprehensive national study of university corporatization in Canada. This study addresses this gap by reviewing the empirical basis, history, root causes and evolution of the transformation of higher education in Canada that has taken place over the past four decades. In this research, “corporatization” is used to refer to the process and resulting outcomes of the ascendance of business interests, values and models in the university system. Throughout the study, my two primary questions of interest are: (i) how has the corporatization of Canadian universities taken shape?; and (ii) what are the consequences of this restructuring both for higher education and society at large? The study begins with a brief historical review of the relationship between education and various sources of power, as well as some of the competing perspectives that have been used to explain university restructuring. I then review the main manifestations of the corporatization process, beginning with a detailed analysis of the casualization of academic labour. Drawing on a new and unique dataset collected through access to information requests, I provide a detailed account of the rise in the number of part-time and full-time contractually limited appointments in a number of Ontario institutions and discuss some of the impacts of this change. -
Defying the Odds
DEFYING THE ODDS Similarity and Difference in Canadian Elementary and Secondary Education By Jennifer M. Wallner A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Jennifer M. Wallner (2009) Defying the Odds: Similarity and Difference in Canadian Elementary and Secondary Education Jennifer M. Wallner PhD. Thesis Department of Political Science University of Toronto 2009 Abstract: This dissertation explains why and how, in the absence of direct federal participation, the Canadian provinces invest at comparable levels, achieve similar outcomes, and produce similar policies while simultaneously maintaining distinctive policy particularities in the elementary and secondary education sector. Given the limited national direction and the extensive autonomy afforded the Canadian provinces, for both students of federalism and education policy, the significant interprovincial similarities appearing across the subnational education sectors are a puzzle to be explained. I develop this analysis by exploring my puzzle in two comparative contexts: cross-nationally and longitudinally. To account for patterns of educational policy similarity and difference, the dissertation points to the movement of policy ideas across the provinces in response to their increasing legal, economic, organizational, and cultural interconnectedness. My dissertation argues that as interconnections among the provinces increased, the movement of policy ideas across the provinces intensified. As policy ideas moved, provincial governments would determine whether a policy from another jurisdiction could be suitable in their own. The subsequent decision to adopt the policy of another turned critically on both the existing relations between the jurisdictions and viability of the new idea within the internal policy context of the receiving jurisdiction. -

NARST is incorporated as a non-profit corporation in the state of Minnesota. The official publication of the Association is the JOURNAL OF RESEARCH IN SCIENCE TEACHING. The major areas of con- cern are experimental and analytical research studies (theoretical or applied) encompassing curriculum development and organization, evaluation, learning theory, teacher education, programs for the talented and underachievers, and methods of instruction in sciences. Surveys of current practices, enrollment, and course offerings represent other interests. NARST meets concurrently with the American Education Research Association one year, and on days Just previous to the National Science Teachers Association meetings the next year. At these meetings research papers in the areas listed above are presented along with symposia, on topics of interest to teachers and edu- cational research workers. NARST cooperates with the ERIC Science, Mathematics, and Environ- mental Education Information Analysis Center (SMEAC) located at the Ohio State University to conduct and publish reviews of re- search in science education at the elementary, secondary and college levels and to compile and publish the abstracts of papers presented at the annual meeting. -

At our conference you can share your ideas, experience, research, and practice with colleagues who are interested in the improvement of higher education at the level of individuals, courses and curricula, and institutions. We know that to be successful, efforts to innovate and adapt need to take into account the cultural context, the critical role of language, and a measured dose of creativity. But how do we identify the various cultu re s within our institutions? How do we foster effec tive communication strategies in the classroom and on our campuses?

An Effective and Critical History of Canada's National Standardized
An Effective and Critical History of Canada’s National Standardized Testing Program: A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Psychology University of Regina by Margaret Anne Dagenais Regina, Saskatchewan March 31, 2011 © 2011 M.A. Dagenais UNIVERSITY OF REGINA FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES AND RESEARCH SUPERVISORY AND EXAMINING COMMITTEE Ms. Margaret Anne Dagenais, candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Education, has presented a thesis titled, An Effective and Critical History of Canada’s National Standardized Testing Program, in an oral examination held on March 31, 2011. The following committee members have found the thesis acceptable in form and content, and that the candidate demonstrated satisfactory knowledge of the subject material. External Examiner: *Dr. Louis Volante, Brock University Supervisor: Dr. Heather Ryan, Faculty of Education, Educational Psychology Committee Member: Dr. Douglas Brown, Faculty of Education, Curriculum & Instruction Committee Member: Dr. Paul Hart, Faculty of Education, Curriculum & Instruction Committee Member: Dr. Mhairi Maeers, Faculty of Education, Curriculum & Instruction Committee Member: Dr. Morina Rennie, Faculty of Business Administration Chair of Defense: Dr. Neil Ashton, Department of Physics *Video Conference Abstract This dissertation explores Canada‟s national large-scale testing program, the School Achievement Indicators Program (SAIP) and its successor, the Pan-Canadian Assessment Program (PCAP) using a methodology built on Foucault‟s theoretical concepts. The product of the research is a critical and effective history of the production of SAIP/PCAP within the Canadian social, political, and economic context. The study considers the work of Canadian scholars and commentators working in the field of large- scale testing and the work of those working in aspects of education that are proximal to the field of interest.
