Masks of Hegemony: Populism, Neoliberalism, and Welfare Narratives in British Columbia, 1975-2004

This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee Masks of Hegemony: Populism, Neoliberalism, and Welfare Narratives in British Columbia, 1975-2004 by Drew Koehn BA, University of the Fraser Valley, 2012 Supervisory Committee Dr. Lynne Marks, Department of History Co-Supervisor Dr. Gregory Blue, Department of History Co-Supervisor iii Abstract Supervisory Committee Dr. Lynne Marks, Department of History Co-Supervisor Dr. Gregory Blue, Department of History Co-Supervisor For all but thirteen years of the decades from 1952 to 2017, British Columbia was electorally dominated by the Social Credit Party and its ideological successor, the BC Liberal Party. These organizations represented the interests of business in opposition to the social democratic NDP, which has drawn a core support base from organized labour and the public sector middle class. This thesis frames the Social Credit-BC Liberal political formation as a ruling class bloc that maintained hegemony by switching between distinct rhetorical modes as the political situation required or allowed, with economic austerity, framed as objective necessity, on one hand, and populism, employing overt moralism and down-to-earth posturing, on the other. I posit that both modes operated to mask the class conflict at the heart of the neoliberal project of free markets, public sector reduction, and social atomization that has attained the status of political and economic “common sense” since its policies began to be widely adopted around the world in the late 1970s. -
Towards a History of Workers As Environmentalists in British Columbia and Beyond

Approval Name: John-Henry Harter Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Title: “When Blue is Green”: Towards a History of Workers as Environmentalists in British Columbia and Beyond Examining Committee: Chair: Mary-Ellen Kelm Professor Mark Leier Senior Supervisor Professor Roxanne Panchasi Supervisor Associate Professor Stephen Collis Internal Examiner Professor Department of English Sean T. Cadigan External Examiner Professor Department of History Memorial University of Newfoundland Date Defended/Approved: December 3, 2019 ii Abstract This dissertation examines the history of working-class environmentalism. It investigates the relationship between work and the environment and between workers and environmentalists. It presents five case studies that focus on the relationship between workers and the environment in British Columbia from the 1930s to the present, with particular emphasis on the forestry industry. Each case study examines how the interests of workers both intersect and conflict with the interests of environmentalists and how this intersection of interests presented itself throughout the twentieth and twenty- first centuries. Additionally, this dissertation examines how the working class has historically been constructed as the adversary of nature or wilderness and aims to explore how the working class, resource workers in particular, have come to symbolize that adversarial relationship. -
