Liber A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Health Services Organizations and Policy) in The University of Michigan 2020 Doctoral Committee: Professor Scott Greer, Co-Chair Assistant Professor Holly Jarman, Co-Chair Professor Daniel Béland, McGill University Professor Paula Lantz Alex C. Liber [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0001-7863-3906 © Alex C. Liber 2020 Dedication For Lindsey and Sophia. I love you both to the ends of the earth and am eternally grateful for your tolerance of this project. ii Acknowledgments To my family – Lindsey, you made the greatest sacrifices that allowed this project to come to fruition. You moved away from your family to Michigan. You allowed me to conduct two months of fieldwork when you were pregnant with our daughter. You helped drafts come together and were a constant sounding board and confidant throughout the long process of writing. This would not have been possible without you. Sophia, Poe, and Jo served as motivation for this project and a distraction from it when each was necessary. Mom, Dad, Chad, Max, Julian, and Olivia, as well as Papa Ernie and Grandma Audrey all, helped build the road that I was able to safely walk down in the pursuit of this doctorate. You served as role models, supports, and friends that I could lean on as I grew into my career and adulthood. Lisa, Tony, and Jessica Suarez stepped up to aid Lindsey and me with childcare amid a move, a career transition, and a pandemic.

  • The Three Lives of Edward Cornwallis by John G
    The Three Lives of Edward Cornwallis by John G. Reid Read before the Royal Nova Scotia Historical Society 16 January 2013 or some twenty years now, a lively controversy has flourished over the reputation of the first Halifax-based Fgovernor of Nova Scotia, Edward Corn- wallis. Was Cornwallis a courageous and far-sighted founder of Halifax and builder of colonial Nova Scotia, or was he a genocidal imperialist whose chief claim to notoriety was his placement of a price on the heads of all indigenous inhabitants of Mi’kma’ki?1 Should Cornwallis continue to be distin- guished by the prominence of his statue in downtown Halifax, or should all public marks of his existence—statue, names of Figure 1. Portrait of Edward Cornwallis by Sir Joshua Reynolds, circa. 1756 places and streets—be erased? Insofar as I have made previous public comments on such issues, I have expressed concern about the application of the twentieth-century term ‘genocide’ to an eighteenth-century situation, but have applauded the action of the Halifax Regional School Board in renaming Cornwallis Junior High School and have suggested that the statue belongs in a museum with an appropriate interpretive panel rather than in its current place of public display. My focus in this essay, however, is rather different. I will offer a histori- cal portrayal of Cornwallis in three contexts. The first will be the eighteenth-century Cornwallis. What, from the viewpoint of historical analysis, is or is not significant about the Nova Scotia career, brief as it was, of this early governor? The second will be the Cornwallis of the statue.

  • Risky Business: Policy Uncertainty, Institutional Insularity, and Learning in Canadian Provincial Energy Policy Making 2006-2016
    Risky Business: policy uncertainty, institutional insularity, and learning in Canadian provincial energy policy making 2006-2016. Heather Millar [email protected] Department of Political Science University of Toronto 100 St. George Street Toronto, ON, M5S 3G3 Prepared for the International Workshop on Public Policy University of Pittsburgh June 26th – 28th, 2018 Draft Working Paper: comments are welcome, please do not cite without author's permission. Abstract Policy learning scholarship has moved beyond describing typologies of learning to examine the dynamics of policy learning at micro, meso, and macro levels. Scholars have begun to theorize individual processes of cognition (Moyson 2016), linkages between individual and collective process of learning (Heikkila and Gerlak 2013), and organizational capacities necessary for policy change (Borrás 2011). Despite these advances, recent reviews have identified the need to specify necessary conditions of learning, particularly as to the role of knowledge claims and institutional structures in learning processes. This paper builds on Dunlop and Radaelli’s (2013) causal typology of modes of learning to operationalize measures for problem tractability and actor certification. The paper contends that problem tractability can be analyzed by measuring policy complexity and ambiguity, generating a typology of risk narratives that align with different modes of learning. To measure actor certification, the paper uses institutional insularity, suggesting that closed networks are more likely to support hierarchical and epistemic learning, while open structures facilitate more plural modes of bargaining and reflexive learning. Drawing on cases of hydraulic fracturing regulation in three Canadian provinces (2006-2016), the paper demonstrates that changes to institutional structures and/or risk narratives transforms dominant learning modes in each jurisdiction, resulting in changes to regulatory structures.

CANADA B3L 4L7 NOVA SCOTIA TEACHERS UNION VOLUME 54, NUMBER 4 JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2016 NSTU back at negotiating table for public school contract NSTU’s negotiating team met with the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development’s negotiating team January 17 and 18 for the first time since both sides reached a tentative agreement on November 12, which NSTU’s public school members rejected on December 1. A previously scheduled negotiation date of January 16 was cancelled, to allow the Provincial Bargaining Team and government side to meet individually to review information for negotiations. Both parties did agree to keep specific discussions at the table confidential. “We will continue to keep our talks confidential,” says Morse. “We will also continue to let public school members know as much as possible about important issues and matters as they arise throughout the process using negotiations bulletins.” Morse says that this round of talks is unusual because of Bill 148, which received Royal Assent on December 18, but has yet to be proclaimed by Cabinet. Government’s Bill 148, the Public Services Sustainability Act, imposes a four-year agreement for all public sector workers in Nova Scotia, and includes a two-year wage freeze, followed by annual raises of one per cent and 1.5 per cent, with a half per cent at the end of the agreement, along with the elimination of service awards. “If this Bill is proclaimed, which the premier has said will happen once a public sector union seeks arbitration, it essentially imposes a wage package on Above are members of NSTU’s negotiating team.
