Note [generalNote]: DATE RANGE Some of the acquired photographic material pre-dates the establishment of the Centre and its predecessors. These are negatives relating to Chancellor Gordon Shrum in his pre-SFU activities, including service in World War I (1916), graduation from University of Toronto (1920), and tenure at University of British Columbia and BC Hyrdo (both undated). PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION Fonds includes 3.2 m of photographic records, 22 film reels, 17 audio reels, 1 magnetic track, 1 optical track and 5 videocassettes. Administrative history / Biographical sketch Note Not available. Scope and content The fonds of the Instructional Media Centre consists of records created and received in the course of carrying out one of its functions. The activity documented is taking photographs requested by other university departments. The types of documents include photographic contact sheets, prints, negatives and slides. Appendix A1, "How to Find Archival Photographs" is available in hard copy form . Simon Fraser University Archives and Records Management Department Page 3 F-18 Learning and Instructional Development Centre fonds Notes Title notes • Source of title proper: Title of the fonds is based on the name of the body. Immediate source of acquisition The records were transferred in a number of accessions from the Centre beginning in the 1980s. Arrangement The records were arranged by the Archivist according to the creator's original record numbering scheme. Restrictions on access Copyright restrictions apply. Some files may contain personal or confidential information. Access to these files may be restricted as required by law. Files marked 'pending review' must be reviewed by an archivist prior to release, and as a result of the review access restrictions may apply. Please see the file lists and consult the archivist for more details. Finding aids Photographic indices and file lists are available. Most but not all photographic materials are indexed. Originally, no systematic indexing was done by the creator, therefore, no photographic materials were indexed by IMC before 1984. The photographic index that exists for pre-1987 materials was prepared by the Archives Department and is available on the Finding Aid shelves. Since 1984 IMC has created annual indices in electronic form. This index is available on the Reference Room computer. None of the indices were prepared using subject or name authorities to ensure the use of consistent terms. See appendix 1 for a guide to finding archival photographs (hard copy version of the finding aid only, available in the Archives Reading Room). Accruals Further accruals are expected. Consult with the archivist about unprocessed accruals.

  • The Defence Research Board of Canada, 1947 to 1977
    The Defence Research Board of Canada, 1947 to 1977 by Jonathan Turner A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology University of Toronto © Copyright by Jonathan Turner 2012 The Defence Research Board of Canada, 1947 to 1977 Jonathan Turner Doctor of Philosophy Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology University of Toronto 2012 Abstract The Defence Research Board of Canada existed from 1947 to 1977. It was created because of the successful contribution of scientific management and specific military technologies to victory in the Second World War, and it was dismantled during a period of review and renewal of the government’s science and defence policies. The demise of the Defence Research Board demonstrated the triumph of business and public administration models over scientific management in spite of the successful defence research program. Among the successful projects of the Defence Research Board were satellites, research rockets, hydrofoils, nylon pile clothing, the wind chill factor, the strategic distinction between first and second nuclear strikes, open heart surgery, and blast trials. The strengths of the Defence Research Board were the scientific management practices that united the four Chairmen (Omond Solandt, Hartley Zimmerman, Robert Uffen and Léon L’Heureux) and the bench scientists. Over the course of its existence the Defence Research Board was shaped by six chains of events. 1. Solandt’s ability to recruit veterans from 1947 to 1953, 2. The election of John Diefenbaker and the ensuing conflict between Diefenbaker and civil servants, particularly over nuclear weapons, which led to the Royal Commission on ii Government Organisation and a decade of review of national defence policy (including two White Papers, integration and unification, and the Management Review Group), 3.

    FEATURE ARTICLE Destabilizing Curriculum History: A Genealogy of Critical Thinking ASHLEY PULLMAN Simon Fraser University In the specialized areas of erudition as in the disqualified, popular knowledge there lay the memory of hostile encounters which even up to this day have been confined to the margins of knowledge. […] Let us give the term genealogy to the union of erudite knowledge and local memories which allows us to establish a historical knowledge of struggles and to make use of this knowledge tactically today. (Foucault, 1980, p. 83). IMON FRASER UNIVERSITY (SFU) IN VANCOUVER, CANADA admits approximately S 7,500 new students annually; of these, over 1000 students enroll in a first-year philosophy course in critical thinking (Course section enrolment report, 2012). While this course is one of the largest within this institution, it is offered in one of the smallest departments. Importantly, Philosophy XX1, entitled Critical Thinking, is not considered an introduction-to-philosophy course; rather, it is intended to be disciplinary neutral, for students not necessarily pursing a philosophy degree. While standard course credit is granted for successful completion, the class is not given numerical merit, and has simply been designated XX1. As the Spring 2012 course outline reads, the subject of critical thinking within this course involves teaching the “fundamental aim of being a responsible thinker, consumer and citizen” and “the ability to efficiently and accurately distinguish truth claims from false ones.” Similarly, the Summer 2012 course outline explains Phil XX1 as “a practical course, a course in applied logic” that will help students become better readers, listeners, writers, and speakers through providing “tools” that are needed in order to pursue academic interests and goals, and “fulfill” the “capacity to be rational.” This mandate to make a student a critical thinker is linked closely to its legitimation within curriculum, and the institutional impetus to create critical students.
