  • Mind the Gap: How Economically Disadvantaged Students Navigate Elite Private Schools in Ontario
    MIND THE GAP: HOW ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS NAVIGATE ELITE PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN ONTARIO by William George Peat A dissertation submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by William George Peat 2020 MIND THE GAP: HOW ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS NAVIGATE ELITE PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN ONTARIO William George Peat Doctor of Philosophy Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education University of Toronto 2020 Abstract “Mind the gap” is a qualitative study rooted in the sociology of education, dealing with educational inequality in Canada. It asked: what is the experience of working-class students in elite secondary schools, and are the benefits of achieving social mobility worth the costs? In a country whose populace has long seen itself as middle class, but where social inequality is a growing concern and social mobility increasingly rare, the study examined the journey of three working-class students seeking to become upwardly mobile by attending elite private schools in Ontario. The study examined their experiences, and employed a combination of semistructured, in-depth interviews, and follow-up conversations. It also drew on relationships that formed as a result of them, as well as on the researcher’s knowledge of the culture of the schools the students attended. In addition, it drew upon the lived experience of the researcher, who shares similar elements of the participants’ socioeconomic background. The data produced was used to develop literary and visual portraits. The process was collaborative and enabled the participants to become co-creators in the creation of their portraits, which were subject to analyses.

Calhoun should be renamed in my view primarily because there is a disPncPon between someone who was a fellow traveler in the prejudices of the age, no ma)er how difficult, abhorrent or unpopular we might find those prejudices today, and someone who devoted the larger part of his poliPcal career to furthering and enunciaPng views that are at odds with some of the core values (equal treatment, jusPce, non-racism) of Yale as an educaPonal insPtuPon. In honoring him we are inescapably honoring Calhoun’s role in his poliPcal project. And that central role cannot be balanced out, as it is with many other figures, with many other achievements that are more admirable. I acknowledge that there is a second powerful argument that has also been made about renaming. That honoring Calhoun with a college in which his memory is projected causes faculty and students hurt, especially those who must live and work in Calhoun. I find that argument important and worthy of respect, but less compelling than the first set of arguments.

St. John, Chair Professor Phillip J. Bowman Associate Professor Deborah F. Carter, Claremont Graduate College Professor Mieko Yoshihama Copyright © 2015 Malisa Lee DEDICATION I would like to dedicate this dissertation to my courageous and supportive parents, Yong Sue and True Xiong Lee, who sacrificed everything to give my siblings and I a better life; my loving and hard working husband Adam Thor, who stood by my side every step of the way; and my thoughtful daughter Sophie who inspires me everyday to be a better person. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation is a culmination of a long educational journey, made possible with the support and guidance of many individuals who invested in my professional and intellectual growth and success. I wish to express my thanks to: To my father and mother, Yong Sue and True Xiong Lee, for their unwavering love and support. I am eternally grateful they did not see my gender as a limitation, even when our community did. They supported my educational and scholarly journey and empowered me to believe I could accomplish anything I set my mind to. Without them, there would not have been a journey to begin with. To my siblings: Tha Lee, Chris Lee, Elizabeth Lee, Mary Lee, and Alex Lee, for being super siblings and always believing in me.

The best example of consistency, dedication and honor that I know. You saw the light and the fire and let it be so that it could grow. I hope you see in me and in this project all of the best lessons you’ve taught me: Stay busy Work hard and ever forward Keep your head in the books Choose what is right always, without hesitation Talk less, do more Doing my due diligence so that I can one day too not worry about anything --because I taught, worked and lived with purpose and principles. ii Acknowledgements These acknowledgements necessarily come with a disclaimer- they are insufficient. This project was made possible through the generosity, support, love and sacrifices of so many; through the “sweat of love” and the “blood of infinity”.

  • 2018 Annual Report
    ENGAGING for Good ANNUAL REPORT 2018 YOUR COMMUNITY FOUNDATION HERE for Good ENGAGING FOR GOOD You know an organization is on solid footing when new levels of success are expected each year. 2018 was no different. We granted a record $18.7 million. Community Foundation for Monterey County (CFMC) donor advisors are more active than ever, utilizing their funds to make significant investments into Monterey County. Scholarship funding took another huge leap to $1.3 million with the help of many new partnerships. While investment markets didn’t do us any favors, especially at the end of the year, the CFMC experienced robust giving. The generosity of Monterey County residents continually amazes us. Perhaps the true sign of the CFMC’s maturity is that we measure ourselves – our effectiveness and impact – in new ways. 2018 saw the advent of our Community Impact Investment program, in which we invested a small portion of our long-term portfolio in community development finance organizations who will then loan our capital to start-up farmers or women entrepreneurs. The portfolio receives a guaranteed return on these placements. Or our Center for Nonprofit Excellence’s Next Steps for Small Nonprofits, which finished year two of a three-year program to help small and emerging nonprofits gain capacity and expertise that will be vital elements of their sustainability. And there is the largely behind-the-scenes community leadership work in areas of homelessness, affordable housing, the 2020 Census and support of many of our community’s vital nonprofits. This confluence of philanthropy and community impact was eloquently tied together in Leon and Sylvia Panetta’s Distinguished Trustee acceptance remarks at the annual Celebration of Philanthropy.
