The Canada Research Chairs (CRC) program was established in 2000 by the federal government to create 2,000 research professorships in universities across Canada. Chair holders work at improving our depth of knowledge and quality of life, strengthening Canada's international competitiveness, and training the next generation of highly skilled people through student supervision, teaching, and the coordination of other researchers' work.

  • Student Power in World Evangelism (Urbana 1970) David Howard
    Student Power in World Evangelism (Urbana 1970) David Howard http://www.urbana.org/_articles.cfm?RecordId=624 World evangelism - Why? How? Who? These are the questions we are concerned with during Urbana 70. As we seek solutions, we will naturally be looking at the world around us and at the future that lies ahead. For unless we can understand the world we live in, we will be in a poor position to talk about evangelizing that world. By the same token, unless we can understand what produced the world we live in - that is, where we came from and why we stand at this particular juncture in history - we can scarcely hope to understand our present age. I am well aware that it is in vogue today to call this the Now Generation. We are intensely concerned with the here and now. We want to be where the action is today, not where it was yesterday, nor where it will be tomorrow. Yesterday is gone forever, and who knows if tomorrow will ever come? So I can live only in and for today. From one standpoint, this is a noble aspiration. However, proper focus on the present requires a proper focus on the past from which we have come and on the future to which we are heading. A man is not only lost when he does not know where he is going; he is also lost when he does not know where he has come from. The very mention of the word history may already have caused some of us to turn off our hearing aids.

  • “Diagnosing an “Unholy Alliance”: the Radical Black Evangelical Critique of White Evangelical Nationalism”
    SHARP, BLACK THEOLOGY PAPERS, VOL. 4, NO. 1 (2018) “Diagnosing an “Unholy Alliance”: The Radical Black Evangelical Critique of White Evangelical Nationalism” Isaac Sharp* ABSTRACT Largely forgotten by black theology and evangelical studies scholars alike, the “radical black evangelical” movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s was organized primarily as an explicit critique of and alternative to a white evangelical culture shot through with racism. This paper argues that a number of these “new black evangelical” thinkers—figures like Tom Skinner, William Bentley, and William Pannell—not only diagnosed the un-interrogated white cultural assumptions of mainstream U.S. American evangelicalism, they also offered trenchant critiques of white evangelicalism’s entanglement with U.S. American civil religion. Such critiques, I will further suggest, presciently prefigured much of the contemporary “identity crisis” in U.S. American evangelicalism by more than four decades. INTRODUCTION In thE first Edition of thE first voluME of Wilmore and ConE’s landMark Black Theology: A Documentary History, 1966-1979, in his Essay, “ThE NEw Black EvangElicals,” Ronald C.

The introduction of Eulythis mellinata in Nova Scotia was almost certainly recent as the specimen was collected in an area which has been intensively collected for the last 30 years, yet this is the only specimen which has been taken to date. The occur­ rence of the moth in two widely separated localities in eastern Canada indicates well­ established populations, and its occurrence in other eastern North American localities should therefore be expected.

This is a guide to using the resources at NSCAD, Dalhousie university and the surrounding Halifax area to best manage your mental illness, support your overall mental health, or find help if you find yourself feeling mentally unwell and have to figure out what to do about it. I am a fourth year NSCAD student who has done fairly well academically and socially at the same time as having a mental illness. You can, too! You are not alone! It is estimated that one in five Canadians will have a mental illness at some point in their lives, and that it affects 10-20% of youth. There are a bunch of us at NSCAD that have had or have a mental illness. Even though a lot of people prefer to go incognito about such things, due to ridiculous stigma.

  • '73 Christian Fellowship at Urbana
    jers ectivé Newsletter of the Association for the Advancement of Christian Scholarship Vol. 8, No. 1 - January/February, 1974 I) CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP AT URBANA ‘73 by Nanci VanderPlaats Though members of the AACS and related organizations have long been struggling to support a distinctly Chris tian scholarship usually separate from the secular aca demic world, we do well to remember that there are.more Christian students at secular colleges and universities than at Christian or Bible colleges. Many of these students have been brought to Christ through the witness of Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, and now depend on their I-V chapter for all the Christian nurture they re ceive aside from, possibly, the institutional church. Because IVCF is carrying out this important task in Christ’s body, six members of the Evangelical Committee for Social Action (ECSA) and two ICS students attended Urbana ‘73, IVCF’s tenth convention which had as a theme this year “Missions”. Our purposes were to meet a few of the fifteen thousand students who attended, to hear the speakers who represented a wide range of thought in the evangelical world, to explore some personal voca tional opportunities which were represented at the con vention, and to find out where ECSA, AACS, Wedge, VANGUARD, Patmos, etc., could both contribute to and learn from the work of IVCF. The keynote speaker for the first half of the convention’s theme on “Jesus Christ: Lord of the Universe”, was Samuel Escobar, already known to many in the ICS commu nity. He’s a Toronto resident and frequent speaker as director of Canadian Inter-Varsity.

  • FINAL REPORT ENABLING DIVESTMENT from FOSSIL FUELS: Characterizing Divestment Awareness and Support at Dalhousie University
    FINAL REPORT ENABLING DIVESTMENT FROM FOSSIL FUELS: Characterizing Divestment Awareness and Support at Dalhousie University (Weiskel, 2015) Winter 2017 Emily Bibeau, Rachel Bridgehouse, Kiley Burke, Coleman Kettenbach, Lorenz Magaard-Romano, Nicole Slattery EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A team of students at Dalhousie University has come together to develop a comprehensive research report on the state of divestment from fossil fuels at their University. Divestment campaigns have recently become popular across Canadian universities. More specifically, student led divestment advocacy groups are gaining traction in the public eye. Developing advocacy groups is a tool used by young people to voice their concerns and take steps towards combating climate change. Divest Dal is Dalhousie University’s student led group that pushes for the University to divest its holdings from the fossil fuel industry. In November of 2014, Dalhousie University announced that they would not be divesting from fossil fuels, even after copious efforts from Divest Dal to sway the decision (Dalhousie, n.d.). This team was curious to explore the reasoning behind this decision and what could be done differently. Based off of these inquiries, our team of students decided to explore the state of awareness at Dalhousie University amongst the student body. To find the answer, a non-probabilistic research style was used as well as questionnaire analysis. The study required both the major and year of study of each participant with their consent. This research was carried out by surveying participants in student buildings across Dalhousie’s Studley campus. Our study found that the majority of the sampled student body was unaware of the Divest Dal movement.
