  • English Language Arts and Social Reproduction in Alberta
    University of Alberta Reading Between the Lines and Against the Grain: English Language Arts and Social Reproduction in Alberta by Leslie Anne Vermeer 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 Theoretical, Cultural and International Studies in Education Department of Educational Policy Studies © Leslie Anne Vermeer Fall 2012 Edmonton, Alberta Permission is hereby granted to the University of Alberta Libraries to reproduce single copies of this thesis and to lend or sell such copies for private, scholarly or scientific research purposes only.

The author reserves all other publication and other rights in association with the copyright in the thesis and, except as herein before provided, neither the thesis nor any substantial portion thereof may be printed or otherwise reproduced in any material form whatsoever without the author's prior written permission. This dissertation is dedicated to the memory of Timothy James Beechey (1954–2011), who represented for me everything that teaching and learning are and can be; and to Bruce Keith and Zachary Keith, because no one earns a doctorate by herself. Abstract Alberta's 2003 High School English Language Arts curriculum produces differential literacies because it grants some students access to high-status cultural knowledge and some students access to merely functional skills. This differential work reflects an important process in sorting, selecting, and stratifying labour and reproducing stable, class-based social structures; such work is a functional consequence of the curriculum, not necessarily recognized or intentional.

  • (Now Rt> Hon.) WL Mackenzie Ki
    PROVINCIAL GENERAL ELECTIONS 877 having carried 118 constituencies, took office on the resignation of Mr. Meighen, with Hon. (now Rt> Hon.) W. L. Mackenzie King as Prime Minister. One of the outstanding features of the election was the rise of a third party, the Progressives, which, under the leadership of Hon. T. A. Crerar, carried 65 seats in Ontario and the West. Besides these the Labour party elected two members, one in Winni­ peg and one in Calgary. On the meeting of Parliament the Progres­ sives renounced the position of official Opposition, to which their numbers gave them a claim; the Conservatives, therefore, under the leadership of Mr. Meighen, constitute the official Opposition in the Fourteenth Parliament. Provincial General Elections.—In Saskatchewan at a general election on June 9, 1921, the Liberal Government of Premier Martin was returned to power with a slightly diminished majority, carrying 45 out of 63 seats. In Alberta, at a general election on July 18, 1921, the Liberal Government of Hon. Chas. Stewart was defeated by the Farmers' organization, which secured 38 out of the 61 seats in the Legislature. On August 13, their leader, Hon. Herbert Greenfield, took office as Premier. In Manitoba, at a general election which took place on July 18, 1922, the Norris Government was defeated, the United Farmers securing a working majority and organizing a government headed by the Hon. John Bracken, formerly principal of the Manitoba Agri­ cultural College. Acquisition of the Grand Trunk by the Government.— This subject is dealt with in the sub-section on steam railways, pages 527-528.

  • The Art and Craft of University Coordination
    THE ART AND CRAFT OF UNIVERSITY COORDINATION by James Thomas Barmby A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The College of Graduate Studies (Interdisciplinary Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Okanagan) December 2013 © James Thomas Barmby, 2013 ii Abstract The purpose of this study is to understand the apparent acquiescence of senior officials at Alberta‟s universities to legislation that might pose a threat to their institutions‟ autonomy. In 1975 the Alberta government under the leadership of Premier Peter Lougheed attempted to introduce a mechanism for coordinating university programs in the Adult Education Act by placing Alberta‟s four universities against their will within a system of provincial public post- secondary institutions. The 1975 Act failed to receive third reading due to successful lobbying efforts, yet in 2003 Lougheed's vision was finally realized with the passage of the Post- Secondary Learning Act (PSLA), which enlisted Alberta‟s four universities without resistance as members of a provincial system that coordinates post-secondary programming. A historical analysis, this study was framed within the dimensions of Wenger‟s Communities of Practice model to analyze the interaction and trust between and among senior university and government officials in their attempts to find agreement on matters concerning the coordination of university programming. The study found that, only where there was evidence of all three dimensions of the Communities

    Considerations of Identity in Teachers’ Attitudes toward Teaching Controversial Issues under Conditions of Globalization: A Critical Democratic Perspective from Canada by Angela MacDonald A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto © Copyright by Angela MacDonald (2013) Considerations of Identity in Teachers‟ Attitudes Toward Teaching Controversial Issues under Conditions of Globalization: A Critical Democratic Perspective from Canada Angela MacDonald Doctor of Philosophy Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning University of Toronto 2013 Abstract Controversy, as a vital principle of democracy, plays a central role in education for critical democratic global citizenship. Controversial issues, however, raise pedagogical challenges for teachers in that they are not only explicitly political, but also potentially threatening to the reproduction of status quo ideals and embedded national narratives – themselves keystones of citizenship education. The findings from this dissertation study report survey data on teachers‘ attitudes toward teaching controversial issues from 202 Canadian teachers, as well as findings from interviews conducted with 16 Alberta teachers about how their multiple identities, and those of their students, intersect with their attitudes toward teaching controversial issues. The findings are discussed against indicators of critical democratic
