She was educated at the Agnes College for Women in Decatur, Georgia (1961-1962) and attained a Bachelor of Arts in English language and literature from the University of Chicago in 1965. Randolph attended medical school at Columbia University in New York City (1966-1968) and at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles (1968-1970). An opponent of the Vietnam War, Randolph became a Canadian permanent resident in September 1970 and resumed her medical studies at University of Toronto, graduating in 1974. As a resident in psychiatry between 1975 and 1980, Randolph worked at the Clarke Institute of Psychiatry, Sunnybrook Hospital and Toronto General Hospital. After completion of her residency in 1980, Randolph was an associate staff psychiatrist in the Department of Psychiatry at Toronto General Hospital and lectured at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto. By the late 1970s, Randolph had begun writing about art using her background in psychoanalytic theory to develop what she termed "ficto-criticism". Her writing includes texts for many art exhibition catalogues and articles published in Canadian art periodicals such as "Vanguard", "Parachute", "Artforum", and "C magazine". Randolph's first book, "Psychoanalysis & synchronized swimming" was published in 1991, followed by "Symbolism and its discontents" (1997), "Why stoics box: essays on art and society" (2003), "Ethics of luxury: materialism and imagination" (2007), and "The critical object" (2010). Her writing has also appeared as chapters in numerous anthologies and other publications. Since the 1990s, Randolph has lectured/performed across Canada and appeared in multimedia art projects. In addition to lecturing in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto, Randolph also taught art theory courses at the Ontario College of Art and Design (1993-1996) and at the University of Manitoba (2004-2005). She served on the curatorial advisory committee of the Power Plant Gallery at Toronto's Harbourfront Centre (1986-1990), on the board of directors for the Beaver Hall Artists' Cooperative (1990-1995), and was a board member of Toronto Arts for Youth (1998-2002). Scope and Content: Fonds consists of records pertaining to the personal life of Jeanne Randolph and to her work as an art theorist and psychiatrist. These records, which date from the early 1940s to 2010, document Randolph's relationships with friends, family and colleagues as well as the progression of her medical career, her art writing and lecturing. Included in the fonds are correspondence, photographs, research materials, draft manuscripts, notes, journals, day planners, personal memorabilia and ephemera created and accumulated by Randolph, as well as photographs and memorabilia pertaining to the early life of Randolph's mother, Elizabeth Bryant Randolph, and the Bryant and Randolph families.

  • "Surfacing" and "The Diviners"
    FOLKLORE, POPULAR CULTURE & INDIVIDUARON IN "SURFACING" AND "THE DIVINERS" Terry Goldie СIONTEMPORARY CANADIAN FICTION includes a number of works which reject modern technology and turn to some form of knowledge which might be described as traditional or primitive. In a review of a prime example, Surfacing, Bruce King states, "The search for roots in the past and some better life in contrast to modern urban civilization is widespread at present and the novel may be said to record an extreme representation of the new romanticism and a critique of it."1 Clara Thomas suggests something similar in an article on a comparable work, The Diviners: "The passing on of an authentic heritage of their people is a central preoccupation of writers of today, particularly of writers of the post-colonial nations."2 This similarity between the two novels, however, hides certain important, although perhaps subtle, distinctions. In each novel, the central character, the narrator, is a woman going through a search for identity, what Jung referred to as individuation, "becoming one's own self."3 Each is inspired by a mystical, non- or even pre-rational knowledge, removed from contemporary technology. In Surfacing, however, the only such knowledge is found in a distant past and in isolation. In The Diviners, there is a feeling that while the quest for identity requires an exploration of the past it must also be shaped by the present and by those a sociologist would call the "significant others," parents, children, lovers, and friends. Elsewhere I have observed that the search for self often takes the form of an interest in folklore,4 a diffuse assemblage of what could be defined as "The tradi- tional beliefs, legends, and customs, current among the common people."5 Con- temporary folklorists would see this definition as far too limiting but it fits com- mon usage.

  • Gender and the Canadian Jewish Fur Trader Experience: Expansion and Colonialism in British North America – 1759 to 1812
    Gender and the Canadian Jewish Fur Trader Experience: Expansion and Colonialism in British North America – 1759 to 1812 Emily Belmonte Professor David Koffman 23 March 2021 HIST 4581 Belmonte 1 Reflecting on the early history of Jews in Manitoba with both wonder and praise, Rabbi Arthur A. Chiel declared, “Jews have penetrated into many lands of the globe… it is little wonder, then, that when the seemingly boundless regions of the New World became known to European man, Jews too made their way across the Atlantic to try their fortunes.”1 Chiel was right that in the mid-eighteenth century young Jewish men were among the European opportunists who came to North America with the dream of expanding economic profit. As historians Sheldon and Judy Godfrey have written about eighteenth-century Jewish migrants, these Jewish settler men were enticed to travel to North America due to the restrictions placed on their civil and political liberties in England.2 Simply put, migrant Jewish men were motivated to seek out places which would afford them equal opportunities as self-identified Jews, establish Jewish communities, and expand their economic prospects. In the case of the early Canadian Jewish experience, this desire to achieve economic prosperity was principally achieved through the fur trade. In the mid-seventeenth century, notes historian Ira Robinson, the fur trade was the most lucrative economic activity in New France, due to the large availability of fur-bearing animals, making the lands extremely desirable for colonists like the British.3 As a result, the climate that Jewish men entered into in North America during the 1760’s was one of intense struggle and tension between the British and French over the colony, resulting in the Seven Year’s War (1756–1763), which ended with British triumph and the collapse of New France.4 Early Jewish settlement to this area directly commenced following Britain’s acquisition of British North America in 1763 upon the signing of the Treaty 1 Rabbi Arthur A.
