PRAY WITH US FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHRISTIAN LEADERS WHO WILL TRANSFORM CULTURE At Christian Union, we are prayerfully seeking God for transformation at Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Penn, Princeton, and Yale. Each year, thousands of students pass through the halls of these institutions and move out into positions of leadership in our society. Unfortunately, over 90% have had no regular Christian influence in their lives during these critical college years. Christian Union sends out monthly, campus- specific e-mails that describe the needs of the ministry. E-mails are available for Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, and Yale. Will you join us and pray regularly for the development of Christian leaders at some of our nation’s leading universities?

Female Immigrant in Cyprus – Profile, Obstacles, Needs, Aspirations
Female Immigrants in Cyprus – profile, obstacles, needs, aspirations Dr Despina Charalambidou-Solomi (EKIF President) Chrystalla Maouri (EKIF Vice President) Dr Natasa Economidou- Stavrou (EKIF Treasurer) Abstract This paper draws on the findings of a research project by the Cyprus Research Centre (EKIF)1 which aimed at, through the views of migrant women living and working on the island of Cyprus, sketching the profile of the economic female immigrant, identifying the drawbacks in her social and work environment and highlighting her needs for personal and professional development in order to meet her aspirations. The data was collected through the use of an anonymous, bilingual questionnaire (Greek and English) made up of closed and open-ended questions which can be classified into five thematic categories: personal details, work conditions, human/legal rights, personal and professional development and socialization. Three thousand questionnaires were distributed to female immigrants of various backgrounds on a national basis and 1702 responses were received. Collected data was analysed using SPSS. For the first time such a large female immigrant population becomes the subject of a research survey. The outcome is interesting and poses the need for further research in all thematic categories. It also contributes to the ongoing debates relating to immigration: discrimination, integration, multiculturalism and education. Female immigrants, one of the most vulnerable social groups, surprise us with their educational standard, their interests/hobbies, their aspirations and eagerness in acquiring further educational qualifications and desire to be accepted in their social milieu. These women are part of our social landscape and their views will, hopefully, contribute to the debate at an academic, research and policy level. -

Cilician Armenian Mediation in Crusader-Mongol Politics, C.1250-1350
HAYTON OF KORYKOS AND LA FLOR DES ESTOIRES: CILICIAN ARMENIAN MEDIATION IN CRUSADER-MONGOL POLITICS, C.1250-1350 by Roubina Shnorhokian A thesis submitted to the Department of History In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (January, 2015) Copyright ©Roubina Shnorhokian, 2015 Abstract Hayton’s La Flor des estoires de la terre d’Orient (1307) is typically viewed by scholars as a propagandistic piece of literature, which focuses on promoting the Ilkhanid Mongols as suitable allies for a western crusade. Written at the court of Pope Clement V in Poitiers in 1307, Hayton, a Cilician Armenian prince and diplomat, was well-versed in the diplomatic exchanges between the papacy and the Ilkhanate. This dissertation will explore his complex interests in Avignon, where he served as a political and cultural intermediary, using historical narrative, geography and military expertise to persuade and inform his Latin audience of the advantages of allying with the Mongols and sending aid to Cilician Armenia. This study will pay close attention to the ways in which his worldview as a Cilician Armenian informed his perceptions. By looking at a variety of sources from Armenian, Latin, Eastern Christian, and Arab traditions, this study will show that his knowledge was drawn extensively from his inter-cultural exchanges within the Mongol Empire and Cilician Armenia’s position as a medieval crossroads. The study of his career reflects the range of contacts of the Eurasian world. ii Acknowledgements This project would not have been possible without the financial support of SSHRC, the Marjorie McLean Oliver Graduate Scholarship, OGS, and Queen’s University. -
“THEY TEACH US to HATE EACH OTHER” a Study on Social Impediments for Peace-Building Interaction Between Young Cypriot Women
UMEÅ UNIVERSITY Umeå Centre for Gender Studies “THEY TEACH US TO HATE EACH OTHER” A Study on Social Impediments for Peace-Building Interaction Between Young Cypriot Women Linnéa Frändå Magister Thesis in Gender Studies Spring 2017 Advisor: Liselotte Eriksson Linnéa Frändå ABSTRACT The yet unresolved interethnic conflict on the island of Cyprus known as the ‘Cyprus Problem’ is one of the longest persisting conflicts in the world stretching over five decades. The conflict is between the Greek-Cypriots and Turkish-Cypriots and has consequently divided the Island into a Greek-Cypriot administrated southern part, and a Turkish-Cypriot administrated northern part. Despite the opening of the borders in 2003, which granted permission to cross over to each side, studies show that the peace-building interaction between the younger generations remains limited. Through in-depth interviews with ten young Cypriot women, the thesis analyses social factors impeding the interaction across the divide and provide an understanding of the women’s perception of peace in Cyprus. The politicisation of the construction of belonging continues to disconnect the women from a shared Cypriot identity and hence impedes interaction across the divide. Further, the context of the negotiations has created a stalemate on peace-building interaction for many of the women and had a negative impact on their views on politics in general. The study reaffirms that women’s political involvement is essential to bring about peace and reconciliation in Cyprus. Keywords: Cyprus, conflict, identity, politics of belonging, women, peace 2 Linnéa Frändå TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION ................................................................................................................................. 4 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK ....................................................................................................... 6 Ethnic conflict through a gendered lens ......................................................................................... -
Women Bank Shareholders in Cyprus (1913-1930): Bridging ‘Separate Spheres’ in a Family Type Economy
Women Bank Shareholders in Cyprus (1913-1930): Bridging ‘Separate Spheres’ in a Family Type Economy Magdalene Antreou1 Abstract The issues of gender and banking historiography have been poorly discussed by national literature. This paper seeks to help cover this gap and further contribute to the limited, yet very informative existing knowledge regarding the role of women in Cyprus’s historiography and economy. In addition, it aims to challenge the master narrative of ‘separate spheres’ and to discuss women’s investment activity within a family framework. For this, I have researched two bank shareholders’ ledgers from the Bank of Cyprus Historical Archive covering the period between 1913 and 1930, and the digitalised archives of ten Greek Cypriot newspapers. Keywords: women bank shareholders, women history, banking history, separate spheres, family type economy Introduction R.J. Morris, in discussing the issue of gender and property in the 17th-18th century England had argued that ‘So far women have sat at the edge of history’.2 This also applies to Cypriot women, as Myria Vassiliadou argues, ‘women have been totally hidden from Cypriot history’.3 Nevertheless, numerous scholars have found evidences of women’s economic activities dating back to the late-medieval Cyprus. Dincer had discovered that in late medieval Cyprus, ‘post marriage women could take part in setting up trading 1 Magdalene Antreou, Historian – Researcher, PhD in Political Science and History, Panteion Univer- sity of Social and Political Sciences. 2 R.J.

Mind the Gap: How Economically Disadvantaged Students Navigate Elite Private Schools in Ontario
MIND THE GAP: HOW ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS NAVIGATE ELITE PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN ONTARIO by William George Peat A dissertation submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by William George Peat 2020 MIND THE GAP: HOW ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS NAVIGATE ELITE PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN ONTARIO William George Peat Doctor of Philosophy Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education University of Toronto 2020 Abstract “Mind the gap” is a qualitative study rooted in the sociology of education, dealing with educational inequality in Canada. It asked: what is the experience of working-class students in elite secondary schools, and are the benefits of achieving social mobility worth the costs? In a country whose populace has long seen itself as middle class, but where social inequality is a growing concern and social mobility increasingly rare, the study examined the journey of three working-class students seeking to become upwardly mobile by attending elite private schools in Ontario. The study examined their experiences, and employed a combination of semistructured, in-depth interviews, and follow-up conversations. It also drew on relationships that formed as a result of them, as well as on the researcher’s knowledge of the culture of the schools the students attended. In addition, it drew upon the lived experience of the researcher, who shares similar elements of the participants’ socioeconomic background. The data produced was used to develop literary and visual portraits. The process was collaborative and enabled the participants to become co-creators in the creation of their portraits, which were subject to analyses. -
