  • An Examination of the Causes of Education Policy Outputs in Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta
    Why Do Parties Not Make a Difference? An Examination of the Causes of Education Policy Outputs in Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta By Saman Chamanfar A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements of the degree of Ph.D. Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Saman Chamanfar 2017 Why Do Parties Not Make a Difference? An Examination of the Causes of Education Policy Outputs in Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta Saman Chamanfar Doctor of Philosophy Political Science University of Toronto 2017 Abstract This study seeks to explain why partisanship—contrary to what we might expect based on the findings of other studies concerning social policies—is generally not a useful explanatory variable when examining the primary and secondary education policies of three Canadian provinces (Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta) during two periods (the 1970s and 1990- 2008). Four specific areas of the education sector of the provinces will be examined: objectives of curricula; spending; ministry relations with school boards; and government policies concerning private and charter schools. Utilizing a qualitative approach and building on the findings of other studies on provincial education systems, it will be argued that in order to understand why the three provinces generally adopted similar policies in both periods, regardless of the differences in the ideologies of governing parties, we need to consider the causal effect of key ideas in both periods. In addition, it will be shown that opposition parties in most instances did not present policies that differed from those of governing parties or criticize the policies of such parties. This will further illustrate the limited usefulness of adopting a partisanship lens when seeking to understand the policy positions of various parties in the provinces concerning the education sector.

  • Labor Relations, 16Mm Film and Euston Films
    Scope: An Online Journal of Film and Television Studies Issue 26 February 2014 Labor Relations, 16mm Film and Euston Films Max Sexton, Birkbeck College, University of London Film as a technology has been used, adapted and implemented in particular ways within television. This article provides examples of this process along with its complexities and demonstrates how a system of regulated labor on British television during the 1970s shaped the aesthetic form that 16mm film was used to develop. The questions of how far the production process was guided by institutionalized conventions, however, is one that the article seeks to answer in its analysis of the function and form of the filmed television series produced by Euston Films, a subsidiary of Thames Television. Charles Barr (1996) has discussed the legacy of live television that seeks to develop analyses of the developing formal systems of early television. For example, the telerecordings of most of the Quatermass serials were only “television films” because they were recorded on film, but were not constructed or edited as film, although they may have used some film inserts. According to Barr, television drama may have been shot on film, but it was different from film. It was only later in the 1960s and 1970s that shooting on film meant that the studio drama was replaced by shooting on location on 16mm. Barr notes that in Britain, unlike in the US, if a growing proportion of drama was shot on film, dramas were still referred to as “plays.” Consequently, the TV plays-on-film were distinct from “films.” However, as this article demonstrates, the development of the 16mm film from the 1970s complicates some of the notions that television drama was either live or continued to be planned, shot and edited as a live play.

  • Sands End Revisited a Local History Guide
    SANDS END REvisitED A Local HISToRy GuIDE We found useful information at the Archive and Local History centre in Hammersmith. There were people that came into school and helped us with our research because they had been residents in Sands End or pupils at Langford many years ago. We also went to Elizabeth Barnes Court Old People’s home to hear more stories and memories of people who knew Sands End in the past. Some of the places in Sands End are named after people that lived here, for example Bagley’s Lane, is named after the Bagley family, locally well known for market gardening and were called the ‘Kings of Fulham’. Elaysha This local history guide about the Sands End area, has been compiled by Y6 from Langford Primary school. Working in partnership with Hammersmith and Fulham Urban Studies Centre, LBHF’s Archives and Local History Centre, and local interest group Sands End Revisited, Oak class became ‘History Detectives’ and were taken back in time to discover the stories of Sands End and the changes that have taken place over the years. By visiting local landmarks, such as the Community Centre on Broughton Road - which was once the old Sunlight laundry - examining old photos at the Archives, and sharing the memories of former local residents and pupils of Langford School, the children discovered a wealth of information, learnt about the changes that have taken place over the years and tried to uncover any secrets about the local area. The stories presented here are a mixture of fact, personal experience, and maybe a little bit of urban myth thrown in to really get you thinking! Thanks to Heritage Lottery Fund for the grant to produce the project.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Dread: the Literary History
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Dread: The Literary History of a Political Affect, 1750-1900 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English by Samantha Ellen Morse 2020 © Copyright by Samantha Ellen Morse 2020 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Dread: The Literary History of a Political Affect, 1750-1900 by Samantha Ellen Morse Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Los Angeles 2020 Professor Sarah Tindal Kareem, Chair This dissertation analyzes the cultural urgency of dread—a profound feeling of fear about the future—in a range of canonical and popular British novels, poems, periodicals, and philosophical treatises. In our own time, we tend to think of dread as a negative, paralyzing affect. Yet I elucidate the many ways in which nineteenth-century authors, philosophers, political reformers, and theologians regarded this feeling as an impetus for bringing about a better future. The anticipatory qualities of dread served as a catalyst for ethical and political transformations in the Enlightenment all the way through the Victorian era. Beginning with David Hume and ending with H. G. Wells, I examine the ways in which dread entered into and shaped philosophical thought, popular culture, and political life, especially radicalism, through shifting literary forms, many of which stemmed from the Gothic mode. While numerous studies have investigated fearful affects such as terror, horror, and anxiety, my dissertation is the first ii sustained examination of dread, which reconceptualizes the Gothic’s literary and political significance. While it is a critical commonplace that Gothic fiction stages encounters with the past, I show how the Gothic stimulates dread in order to orient its readers toward future possibilities.

  • HBO/BBC Drama Series GENTLEMAN JACK, Created, Written and Directed by Sally Wainwright, Debuts April 22 on HBO
    HBO/BBC drama series GENTLEMAN JACK, created, written and directed by Sally Wainwright, debuts April 22 on HBO The HBO/BBC drama series GENTLEMAN JACK begins its eight-episode season MONDAY, APRIL 22 (10:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT) on HBO. Created, written and co-directed by Sally Wainwright (“Happy Valley,” “Last Tango in Halifax”), and starring BAFTA Award winner Suranne Jones (“Doctor Foster,” “Save Me”), GENTLEMAN JACK tells the story of a woman who had a passion for life and a mind for business, and bucked society’s expectations at every turn. The series will also be available on HBO NOW, HBO GO, HBO On Demand and partners’ streaming platforms. GENTLEMAN JACK will air in the UK on BBC One this spring. Set in the complex, changing world of 1832 Halifax, West Yorkshire – the cradle of the evolving Industrial Revolution – GENTLEMAN JACK focuses on landowner Anne Lister, who is determined to transform the fate of her faded ancestral home, Shibden Hall, by reopening the coal mines and marrying well. The charismatic, single-minded, swashbuckling Lister – who dresses head-to-toe in black and charms her way into high society – has no intention of marrying a man. The story examines Lister’s relationships with her family, servants, tenants and industrial rivals and, most importantly, would-be wife. Based in historical fact, the real-life Anne Lister’s story was recorded in the four million words of her diaries, and the most intimate details of her life, once hidden in a secret code, have been decoded and revealed for the series.
