Content areas include media and techniques, history and culture, criticism and appreciation, and design. Four core units present fundamental art knowledge through themes based on self and environmental exploration. Media and techniques used include drawing, collage, sculpture and ceramics. Four secondary units are enrichment oriented. Maskmaking expands on self-exploration by examining different faces humans present to establish identity and communication. Mass media introduces students to concepts of advertisement communication. Differences between need and want are explored. Landscape is studied as interpretations of environment as seen, remembered, or imagined. Investigation of the future allows for exploration of various scenarios with a wide variety of materials. The teaching method employed is problem solving/inquiry. Idea journals and portfolios are identified and used as evaluation tools. Appendices and bibliographies are included.

  • The Canadian Adolescent Refugee Experience
    Living Within Hyphenated Paradoxes – The Canadian Adolescent Refugee Experience SOFIA NOORI A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN SOCIAL AND POLITICAL THOUGHT YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO September 2020 © Sofia Noori, 2020 ABSTRACT In 2018, the Canadian government admitted 46,500 refugees. This followed a remarkable record resettlement of Syrian refugees in Canada from 2015–17, with just under half aged 17 or younger. This dissertation addresses how adolescent refugees negotiate the issues and aftermath of living in civil unrest, war, migration, transitory states, refugee camps, and resettlement. I analyze published memoirs and vlogs by Canadians who were adolescent refugees when they arrived in this country. By highlighting the life stories of ten Canadians who experienced varying degrees of “refugee-ness,” I argue that these asylum seekers contend with paradoxical claims to their subjectivities. While witnessing conflicts and camps traumatizes these young people, they successfully achieve independence and greater stability after settling in Canada. Shifting cultural practices informed by their native and host countries are factors that influence refugee’s sense of identity liminalities: being too young, too old, not westernized enough, not native enough, lacking schooling and wanting academic accolades. Readings of their narratives informed by psychoanalysis and postcolonial theory show that young refugees employ ancestral coping mechanisms, intellectualization, and sublimation to make meaning from their experienced losses and grief. Fanon’s and Said’s theories address the violent colonial context of exile and alienation. Anna Freud and Winnicott explain the internal mechanisms of resistance.

  • The Global Refugee Crisis: Empirical Evidence and Policy Implications for Improving Public Attitudes and Facilitating Refugee Resettlement ∗ Victoria M
    Social Issues and Policy Review, Vol. 11, No. 1, 2017, pp. 78--123 The Global Refugee Crisis: Empirical Evidence and Policy Implications for Improving Public Attitudes and Facilitating Refugee Resettlement ∗ Victoria M. Esses University of Western Ontario Leah K. Hamilton Mount Royal University Danielle Gaucher University of Winnipeg The number of refugees across the globe is at an alarming high and is expected to continue to rise for the foreseeable future. As a result, finding durable solutions for refugees has become a major challenge worldwide. The literature reviewed and policy implications discussed in this article are based on the premise that one of the major solutions to the refugee crisis must be refugee resettlement in new host countries. For such a solution to succeed, however, requires relatively favorable attitudes by members of host societies, protection of the well-being of refugees, and effective integration of refugees into new host countries. In this context, we begin by reviewing the literature on determinants of public attitudes toward refugees, the acculturation of refugees in host societies, and factors affecting refugee mental health, all of which are directly relevant to the success of the resettlement process. We then turn our attention to the policy implications of these literatures, and discuss strategies for improving public attitudes toward refugees and refugee resettlement in host countries; for improving the resettlement process to reduce ∗ Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to Victoria M.

March 12, 2014 QUESTION AUTHORITY Study Journalism at the University of Regina Learn to craft stories for all forms of media. Stories that engage. Stories that inform. Stories that empower the public. Stories that build a stronger democracy. www.uregina.ca/arts/journalism • [email protected] • 306-585-4420 A beginning, a middle and an end: Canadian foreign reportage examined. It’s a real honour to be here in Regina and especially to give the Minifie lecture. James M. Minifie embodied the best of Canadian foreign journalism. He was an early integrator who filed for both radio and TV and I’m sure would have also filed for online had it existed. The story of my coming to give this lecture is a little bit like the job that we do, a little like doing foreign correspondence. Just like foreign correspondence, every obstacle that could possibly be thrown in my way happened! I felt like I was being tested – the way we are with every single story we file. Even the very last leg of this journey, coming from Toronto just a few hours ago, I barely made it out. It was wet snow and a huge lineup of planes being de- iced. I couldn’t believe we made it out. So, just like every story we file, the object, as painful as it can be, is to make deadline – no matter what. The idea is that an imperfect but accurate and complete story on the air is better than no story.

Utgivelsen er en tidløs animert fest! Animerte perler Diverse regissører National Film Board of Canada 1949-1993 Norsk filminstitutt 4:3 Fullskjerm Dolby 2.0 131 min. 2 6 Blame Canada Det er ikke mulig å overdrive hvilken rolle National Film Board of Canada (NFB) har spilt i å utvikle en alternativ rute for animasjonsfilmskapere som ønsker å skape et kunstuttrykk på siden av Disney og de andre dominerende amerikanske studioene. Etter etableringen på slutten av 1930-tallet har NFB produsert mer enn 13.000 dokumentarfilmer, animerte og live-action kortfilmer og tatt med Oscar-statuetten hvem til Canada 12 ganger, inkludert en æresoscar i 1988. Da Norman McLaren ble ansatt ved NFB i 1941 startet også animasjonsproduksjonen og som følge av McLarens pionerarbeid, økte anseelsen til NFB, og særlig animasjonsdivisjonen, betraktelig. Med utgivelsen av Animerte perler har Norsk filminstitutt samlet 14 animerte kortfilmer produsert av NFB i tidsrommet 1949-1993, og viser med dette hvilken sterk posisjon NFB har innen internasjonal animasjon og hvordan de har jobbet målrettet og metodisk over lang tid for å bli en ledende produsent av den frie, kunstneriske animerte kortfilmen. Første del av utgivelsen er naturlig nok viet Norman McLaren - banebrytende dokumentarist og animasjonsfilmskaper, som ikke bare har skapt en rekke fabelaktige produksjoner, men langt på vei satt standarden for filmproduksjonen hos National Film Board of Canada.
