What about in our churches? | Meghan Kort IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE PANDEMIC, GOVERNMENTS HAD TO decide: who will speak for us? In 10 key locations across Canada, women serving as public heath officers have taken on those increas- ingly public roles. “The women we’re seeing on the national stage during the pan- demic are being celebrated for both their compassion and their calm under pressure,” write Andrea Gunraj and Jessica Howard from the Canadian Women’s Foundation. Their leadership comes, at times, through impartial statistical analysis, at other times through tears, a sense of humour or a motherly sternness. Chrystia Freeland’s recent appointment to Finance Minister after successfully negotiating NAFTA is yet another example of a Canadi- an woman excelling at the forefront of crisis management. Globally, research shows that women have been especially effective in leader- ship during the pandemic. Countries led by women have tended to shut down more quickly and experience fewer deaths.

    1 2 [email protected] www.tundracub.com 218-744-2003 3 NOTES This is a book of non-fiction. A few liberties were taken with the sequencing of events, but all of them actually happened. The northern natives that we once called "Eskimos" prefer the word "Inuit," the Inuktitut word for "the people." To convert Canadian costs to U.S., subtract approximately one third. In keeping with our antiquated U. S. system of weights and measures, temperatures are given in Fahrenheit, and volumes are listed in gallons. 4 This book is dedicated: To the Bernoullis, a family of 17th century scientists who fled to Switzerland to escape from persecution by religious zealots. Daniel Bernoulli discovered the principle that helps lift our wings to the sky. To Nicolaus Copernicus, Galileo Galilei, Charles Darwin and their many contemporaries who, often at great risk, opened our eyes to grandeur and advanced the sciences that provide our many comforts. To Orville and Wilbur Wright, two independent thinkers who, in 1903, achieved the world's first successful, powered, piloted, heavier-than-air flight. (The local paper didn't consider the event worth reporting. The United States Army later called the use of airplanes a "crazy" idea.) To the bush pilots who bring supplies and human contact to remote corners of the world, and to all who seek new horizons. 5 Preface The room where I write overlooks the tea-tinted waters of a northern Minnesota lake, a view that I share with a common loon. When I taxi my seaplane to and from our pier, the loon parallels me, yodeling a raucous theme while he performs his water-walking act.

There is a much longer story to tell here at another time. But, for now, the key details are: there was a bit of money left over from the Afect Theory: Worldings/Tensions/Futures conference in October 2015, and I was using it to create a website to house that conference’s plenary talks along with a few inter- views, graduate student profles, miscellaneous art-theory intertwinings, etc. I’d hired a Millersville student to edit the videos and do some very basic web design. At about the same time that this post-conference website was slowly coming to- gether (March 2016), I was invited to give a presentation at a colloquium at Drew Theological School on afectivity and divinity. The frst day of the colloquium was dedicated to graduate student presentations; the second speaker was Mathew Arthur.

  • Decolonizing the Nunavut School System: Stories in a River of Time
    DECOLONIZING THE NUNAVUT SCHOOL SYSTEM: STORIES IN A RIVER OF TIME by Heather Elizabeth McGregor B.A.H., Acadia University, 2005 M.A., Ontario Institute for Studies in Education/University of Toronto, 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 (Curriculum Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) March 2015 © Heather Elizabeth McGregor, 2015 Abstract This research explores the recent history of educational change in Nunavut’s public school system, primarily between the years 2000 and 2013. During this time, decision makers mandated that schools deliver programs in accordance with Inuit foundations of knowledge, values and ways of being. I show how new school system initiatives were largely informed by long-term Nunavut educators—Inuit and non-Inuit—as well as Elders and Inuit knowledge holders, whose perspectives reach into the remembered past and towards an imagined future. My inquiry centres in-depth interviews with Cathy McGregor, an educational leader who carries 40 years experience North of 60°, and was responsible for facilitating many recent curriculum, policy, and leadership changes. Cathy is also my mother. Illuminated by her memories and vision, materials developed for the Nunavut school system, and my own research journey, I examine processes of bringing knowledge from and about the past forward in educational change. I describe three sites as demonstrating decolonizing: 1) The role of Inuit Elders in the school system, including full-time Elder Advisors; 2) Processes of curriculum development based on Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit; and, 3) An annual leadership development workshop facilitating history education.
