Butler GGR246 – Summer 2019 Page 2 of 10 IMPORTANT COURSE INFORMATION RECOMMENDED PREPARATION : GGR107H1, GGR124H1 Distribution Requirements : Social Science. Breadth Requirements : Society and its Institutions (3). For further information see the FAS Calendar at: https://fas.calendar.utoronto.ca ON COURSE CONDUCT: Topics like nation , nationality , and nationalism are political. Discussing them with reference to Canada and geographies of violence entails difficult discussions of sensitive subject matter. Interrogating our own ideas and relations to place is in keeping with the University of Toronto’s statement of institutional purpose ( https://www.utoronto.ca/about-u-of-t/mission ). Different people may have different feelings and passions that emerge through our class discussions. Participants in this course commit to holding our course discussions with an open-mind and respect for one another; please read over the university’s equity, anti-harassment and anti-oppression ( http://policies.hrandequity.utoronto.ca/ ) for further explanation. PRONOUNS AND OPPRESSIVE LANGUAGE : Please use an individual’s preferred pronouns as a marker of basic respect. Please consider how you talk to or discuss the work of others in class and in submitted work. If you are not sure about how to talk about or to a person or population, please take time to research the preferred terminology or seek guidance from the instructor or a teaching assistant. PARTICIPATION : Participation is not part of your grade but improves comprehension. During lecture there will be opportunities for group discussion READINGS : There is no textbook for this course. All material is available through Quercus. The course schedule below indicates required weekly readings. All material covered in class is to assist the interpretation of course readings. Please read all required material before lecture. Preparation enhances understanding and coming with questions strengthens discussion. Questions can be sent in advance to the instructor via Quercus. AUDIO, VISUAL, AND VIDEO RECORDING : Recording is permitted in instances of need, weighed against the right to privacy. If you need to record the class, please speak with the instructor. USING TECHNOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOM : I do not prohibit technology but do not distract others. ON SELECTIVE NOTE-TAKING : I encourage taking hand-written notes or being selective if writing on a computing device. Studies show that writing notes by hand is selective and builds understanding, where note- taking with laptops encourages less critical, verbatim note-taking (Mueller & Oppenheimer. 2014 “The Pen is Mightier than the Keyboard” Psychological Science 25(6), pp.1159-1168). ACCESSIBILITY NEEDS : We all bring needs to the classroom. The classroom itself may impede our presence and participation in unequal ways. Accessibility Services can provide for or implement a variety of accommodations and accessibility needs for registrants ( [email protected] or www.studentlife.utoronto.ca/as ). This process can sometimes take a few weeks. Start early and reach out to the course instructor if you think you may need additional consideration before your accommodations are set. The UofT Health and Wellness Centre (https://www.studentlife.utoronto.ca/hwc ) may be able to assist you. OTHER IMPEDIMENTS TO PARTICIPATION : Accessibility Services may not address all needs. Please contact the instructor if you have or will have a specific situation or continuing circumstances. CHILDCARE : Children are welcome but please sit near doors in case you need to step out.

TURNTIN : Assignment submissions are set up to use Turnitin. From the university’s website: “Normally, students will be required to submit their course essays to Turnitin.com for a review of textual similarity and detection of possible plagiarism. In doing so, students will allow their essays to be included as source documents in the Turnitin.com reference database, where they will be used solely for the purpose of detecting plagiarism. The terms that apply to the University’s use of the Turnitin.com service are described on the Turnitin.com web site” If you have concerns or reservations regarding Turnitin, contact me at least a week before the assignment is due. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY AND PLAGIARISM : Academic integrity is fundamental to learning together and scholarship at the University of Toronto ( http://www.artsci.utoronto.ca/osai/ ). The University of Toronto treats alleged academic misconduct as serious matter. Examples of academic offences include: • Presenting someone else’s ideas without appropriate acknowledgement (citation) • Copying material word-for-word or changing a few words without the use of quotation marks • Resubmitting the same work to multiple courses without the instructor’s permission • Receiving unauthorized assistance, including someone else doing your work or using group work someone else complete work for you or completing individual work as a group The Office of Student Academic Integrity investigates alleged academic misconduct, per the Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters (http://www.artsci.utoronto.ca/osai/The-rules/what-is-academic-misconduct ). Suspected plagiarism must be reported. “I didn’t know” is NOT accepted as an excuse. Learn more here: http://advice.writing.utoronto.ca/using-sources/how-not-to-plagiarize/ Butler GGR246 – Summer 2019 Page 4 of 10 ASSIGNMENTS AND GRADING ON WRITING (WELL) : Learning to write (well) is an ongoing process for all of us. The University of Toronto provides resources intended to help you improve your writing. Some of these resources are tailored to those whose first language is not English. Others are intended for anyone seeking to improve their writing. I would encourage everyone to make use of these resources (www.writing.utoronto.ca ).

    Canada in the Classroom Notes to Accompany PowerPoint Presentation (Given at the Canadian Consulate in Denver in September 2005) by Nadine Fabbi, University of Washington Slide #1 – Canadian Studies in the U.S. This power point presentation will introduce you to Canadian Studies in the U.S. and to the rationale behind international education in the U.S. It will orient you to the Canadian Studies “community” and answer the question, “Why study Canada?” In addition, the presentation will provide a quick overview of Canadian-American history and the Linking: Connecting Canadian History to the U.S. curriculum modules available on the K-12 STUDY CANADA website. Slide #2 – Sputnik 1 In 1957, at the height of the Cold War, the Soviet Union launched the first artificial satellite – Sputnik 1. Its launch kicked off the Space Race but, more important to this discussion, the U.S. responded by setting in place a reform movement in science and international education. Millions of dollars were immediately poured into scientific research and international education and the U.S. Department of Education’s International Programs were created. (The largest increase in funding in international programs since that time came after 9/11.) The U.S. defined international education as critical to global competitiveness and to the peaceful resolution of conflict. And, as our world shrinks in size, international studies is increasingly relevant. Slide #3 – Map with National Resource Centers One of the many federally-funded international programs are the Title VI programs whose mandate is to increase international studies content in teaching and research not only at the level of higher education, but also with the general public, business, media, the government, and for K-12 educators.

  • Language Guarantees and the Power to Amend the Canadian Constitution
    Language Guarantees and the Power to Amend the Canadian Constitution Armand L. C. de Mestral and William Fraiberg * Introduction An official language may be defined as one ordained by law to be used in the public institutions of a state; more particularly in its legislature and laws, its courts, its public administration and its public schools.1 In Canada, while language rights have historically been an issue of controversy, only a partial provision for official languages as above defined is to be found in the basic constitutional Acts. The British North America Act, in sec. 133,2 gives limited re- cognition to both Engish and French in the courts, laws, and legis- latures of Canada and Quebec. With the possible exception of Quebec, the Provinces would appear to have virtually unlimited freedom to legislate with respect to language in all spheres of public activity within their jurisdiction. English is the "official" language of Mani- toba by statute 3 and is the language of the courts of Ontario.4 While Alberta and Saskatchewan have regu'ated the language of their schools,5 they have not done so with respect to their courts and • Of the Editorial Board, McGill Law Journal; lately third law students. 'The distinction between an official language and that used in private dis- course is clearly drawn by the Belgian Constitution: Art. 23. "The use of the language spoken in Belgium is optional. This matter may be regulated only by law and only for acts of public authority and for judicial proceedings." Peaslee, A. J., Constitutions of Nations, Concord, Rumford Press, 1950, p.

The change in constructions of official Canadian identity was due to pressures from an ongoing dialogue in Canadian society that reflected the larger geo-political shifts taking place during the period. This dialogue helped shape the political discussion, from one focused on maintaining an out-dated national identity to one that was more representative of how many Canadians understood Canada to be. This change in political opinion accordingly transformed the official identity of the nation-state of Canada. Les années 1960 ont été une période tumultueuse qui a fait passer l'identité officielle canadienne d'une identité essentiellement britannique à une identité reflétant la diversité du Canada.
