Between 2006 and 2012, the six regional nodes and the national hub of CSERP were funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) to conduct research on the social economy in Canada. This provided an unprecedented level of resources and pan-Canadian experimentation within a collaborative model of engagement, knowledge creation, sectoral (self) definition and policy development through research. Several characteristics of the social economy render it a challenging field in which to build community-university partnerships. The social economy is highly diverse; while some parts of the social economy are professionalized and have formalized organizational structures that interact well with the university sector; important parts are emergent, informal and highly localized. At the same time, each of the CSERPs had to grapple with longstanding questions about building and sustaining community-university partnerships. The great diversity in the regional contexts, and hence the variation in the approaches taken to partnership-building and engagement by the CSERPs, provides an opportunity to draw out insights on the process and challenges of forging (and maintaining) practitioner-university engagement. We would like to thank all the individuals and organizations which made this edited volume possible, including: the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada who funded all the research undertaken by the CSERPs, and particularly this volume; the Vice-President Research at the University of Victoria, who helped fund the final development of the book; the academic, student and practitioner researchers who participated in the CSERPs; the coordinators and other administrative staff of the CSERPs; the contributors to this volume, Sarah Amyot for assisting with the submissions, and Joy Emmanuel, who undertook the final editing and layout for it. Peter Hall and Ian MacPherson Vancouver and Victoria September 2011 CHAPTER 1 Introduction: Learning from the Social Economy Community-University Research Partnerships Peter Hall with Janel Smith, Aliez Kay, Rupert Downing, Ian MacPherson, Annie McKitrick The National Hub The Canadian Social Economy Research Partnerships Canadians and their communities face considerable economic, social and ecological challenges. In urban Canada, great wealth exists alongside exclusion: new labour market entrants, often immigrants and urban aboriginals, find it hard to secure stable employment; low income families cannot find affordable housing and childcare; and the social safety net fails many with acute and chronic health problems. Much of rural Canada is still subject to the boom- bust cycles of the resource economy, facing doctor and housing shortages in one period and youth out-migration in the next. Many aboriginal and First Nations communities are bypassed by the developments that do occur, but they are still left to bear the ecological burdens of the same. These challenges are not a temporary feature of the Great Recession. While some challenges are very old, others are quite new, such as those resulting from man-made climate change. What marks the contemporary challenges is the great unevenness in their distribution, alongside a great unwillingness on the part of governments to raise the taxes needed to address inequality through strengthened social programs. The promise of the Social Economy is that it provides a set of principles, practices, relationships and organizations that will allow individuals and communities to negotiate the new context more successfully, to ameliorate and begin to reverse its

    FromCelebration toCelebration Dress Code for Academic Events This guide introduces the dress code for academic events and festivities at Lappeenranta University of Technology. These festivities include the public defence of a dissertation, the post-doctoral karonkka banquet, and the conferment. Lappeenranta University of Technology was established in 1969 and, compared to many other universities, does not have long-standing traditions in academic festivities and especially doctoral conferment ceremonies. The following dress code should be observed at academic events at Lappeenranta University of Technology to establish in-house traditions. The instructions may, in some respects, differ from those of other universities. For instance with regard to colours worn by women, these instructions do not follow strict academic etiquette. 2 Contents Public Defence of a Dissertation 4 Conferment Ceremony 5 Dark Suit 6 Dark Suit, Accessories 8 Womens Semi-Formal Daytime Attire 10 White Tie 12 White Tie, Accessories 14 Womens Dark Suit, Doctoral Candidate 16 Womens Formal Daytime Attire, Doctor 18 Formal Evening Gown 20 Men's Informal Suit 22 Womens Informal Suit 24 Decorations 26 Doctoral Hat 28 Marshals 30 3 Public Defence of a Dissertation, Karonkka Banquet PUBLIC DEFENCE KARONKKA DOCTORAL CANDIDATE, White tie and tails, black vest White tie and tails, white vest if MALE (dark suit). ladies present (dark suit).

  • Doctor of Holy Scripture’ Dr Stephen Pietsch
    Ego etiam sum doctor scripturae: an historical and contemporary reflection on Luther’s life and work 145 Ego etiam sum doctor scripturae: an historical and contemporary reflection on Luther’s life and work as ‘doctor of holy scripture’ Dr Stephen Pietsch Stephen Pietsch is a pastoral theology lecturer at ALC, specialising in counselling and homilietics. Introduction ‘Doctor’ was arguably Luther’s most significant self-identification. Variants of the Latin phrase in the title of this essay, ‘I am also a doctor of scripture’, appear many times in Luther’s sermons and other writings, right through his career.1 It is the one designation which most closely captures Luther’s role in the three interconnected worlds he inhabited: university, local church and wider Reformation movement. He routinely signed his name ‘Doctor Martin Luther’ on letters and other documents, and in most of the documented references to Luther from his own time, even some of the unfavourable ones, he is named in the same way. Today’s egalitarian world refers to him simply by his name, but in the highly role-structured society of sixteenth century Germany, Luther was definitely ‘Herr Doktor’, even to most of his close associates and friends.2 It is a well-known part of the Luther story that he was awarded his doctoral degree at the University of Wittenberg in 1512. However, what is really known about this degree? How did Luther himself understand its value and importance? What did it mean in his world? How did Luther earn it? What role did it play in his reforming work? What insights from all this might be informative and even fruitful for us today, as Lutheran theological educators who stand on the threshold of the Reformation’s 500th anniversary and—at the same moment—look forward to a new millennium? Doctoral degrees in the 16th century In the early 16th century doctoral degrees were much rarer than they are today; they were a mark of high honour, and many important scholars were never awarded a doctoral degree.

Transactions of the Burgon Society, 13 (2013), pages 28–38 Academical Dress in Sweden By Klaus Solberg Søilen f there is little written on the subject of academical dress in Sweden it is because it has never played a major role in academic ceremonies in this country, or for that matter Iin any of the Nordic countries.1 We are reminded of this for example when comparing Swedish academical dress to the colourful displays of the robes and gowns in Anglo-Saxon countries. Instead the history of Swedish academical dress is primarily a story about in- signia, beginning with what to wear on one’s head. The insignia used in Swedish academic ceremonies are, besides the hat, the laurel wreath, the ring and the diploma. Of these it is the laurel wreath which is particular to the Swedish system, recalling the many portraits depicting Dante Alighieri.2 Of course the tradition of the laurel wreath is much older than Renaissance Italy, going back to Greek mythology.
