  • To Make Good Canadians: Girl Guiding in Indian Residential Schools
    TO MAKE GOOD CANADIANS: GIRL GUIDING IN INDIAN RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada © Copyright by Mary Jane McCallum 2001 Canadian Studies and Native Studies M.A. Program May2002 ABSTRACT To Make Good Canadians: Girl Guiding in Indian Residential Schools Mary Jane McCallum Between 1910 and 1970, the Guide movement became active and, indeed, prolific in Indian residential, day, and hostel schools, sanatoriums, reserves and Northern communities throughout Canada. In these contexts, Guiding embraced not only twentieth century youth citizenship training schemes, but also the colonial project of making First Nations and Inuit people good citizens. But ironically, while the Guide programme endeavoured to produce moral, disciplined and patriotic girls who would be prepared to undertake home and civic responsibilities as dutiful mothers and wives, it also encouraged girls to study and imitate 'wild' Indians. This thesis will explore the ways in which Girl Guides prepared girls for citizenship, arguing that the Indian, who signified to Guides authentic adventure, primitive skills and civic duty, was a model for their training. 'Playing Indian' enabled Guides to access these 'authentic' Indian virtues. It also enabled them to deny their roles as proponents of colonialism. Acknowledgements I would like to thank a number of people who have helped me to research and write this thesis. First, I would like to thank the Munsee Delaware First Nation for their continued assistance in my post-secondary academic endeavours.

  • Safety Activity Checkpoints (SAC)
    1 GSUSA 2021 Edition Safety Activity Checkpoints Change Memo – Important Updates to 2021 Edition The 2021 Edition of GSUSA’s Safety Activity Checkpoints has been updated to reflect the following changes as outlined in this three-page memo. National guidelines are developed in collaboration with the Girl Scout Council Safety Activity Checkpoints Task Team which includes a balanced regional representation as well as in-depth expertise and experience in the areas of Girl Scout programs, safety, and risk management. Standard Safety Guidelines. GSUSA’s Standard Safety Guidelines (formerly titled “Girl Scout Activity Safety Standards & Guidelines”) are located on pages 4 - 22 and apply to all Girl Scout activities including: troop meetings, day trips, special events, camp, travel, and product program. Accordingly, a link under each activity chapter has been added to direct volunteers to the Standard Safety Guidelines section. Within the Standard Safety Guidelines (p. 4 - 22) are the following updates: Adult Supervision. Further emphasizes the long-standing Girl Scout rule of at least two registered and approved, unrelated Girl Scout volunteers, one of whom is female. Examples of unrelated are provided as: not a sibling, spouse, domestic partner, parent, child, or anyone who would be considered a family member, and who do not live in the same residence. This rule applies to all Girl Scout gatherings and is mandatory whenever girls meet, whether in person or virtually. It is recommended that councils advise troops and parents of this requirement so that the council can be alerted if the supervision is not meeting this requirement. Activities not Listed in Safety Activity Checkpoints.

The essay’s specific aim is to transform carnivorous appetites by subverting the integrity of America’s national gastronomic emblem – the hamburger. The article examines how hamburgers are unsustainable food system commodities that exacerbate state-sanctioned climate change, analyzes the underpinnings of ecophobic beef literature—specifically the graphic narrative—that serves as state propaganda, and shows how American comics can alternately promote sustainability nexuses by creating awareness of how food systems impact climate change. Keywords American propaganda; Bob’s Burgers; climate change; Fox Broadcasting Network; hamburger; Industrial Livestock About the Author Sophie Christman earned her Ph.D. in English Literature at SUNY Stony Brook University. Her research areas include: nineteenth-century literature, environmental humanities, and ecocinema studies. She recently authored the “Foreword” for The Ecophobia Hypothesis (Routledge 2018) and her scholarship has been published in Adaptation, Dickens Studies Annual, Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment, The Journal of Ecocriticism, and the Journal of International Comparative Literature. Her co-authored article “The Climate of Ecocinema” appears in The Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Communication. She has been an invited speaker at the Consortium of Humanities Centers and Institutes (CHCI) Annual Meeting in Hong Kong, the Humanities NY Environmental Stewardship Seminar, the Friends of Dickens NY, and the CUNY Victorian Seminar (forthcoming).

  • Impact Report
    Impact Report Autumn 2020 A Message From Our Board Chair When we started our 2019-2020 academic year, no one could have imagined the changes that would come in the months ahead; some were extraordinarily positive and others very challenging but all changed the face of Cristo Rey San José. In October of 2019, George and Judy Marcus made a donation of $10 million to Cristo Rey San José. This transformational gift created a new funding model for our school by establishing an endowment which will provide financial support in perpetuity and create permanency to our mission. In celebrating one of our most historic moments, another loomed ahead. By March of 2020, we had no choice but to close our doors and move to a virtual teaching and learning BRYAN POLSTER environment. Our Corporate Work Study Program also had to pivot with students working CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD, remotely. Services needed for our students and their families were provided. Many of you CRISTO REY SAN JOSÉ walked along side and supported our Covid relief fund. CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD By June, it came time to graduate our third senior class in a very unique graduation ceremony OF PARTNERS, at the San Jose Giants Excite Ballpark. We were so proud to honor 99 seniors who join our FRANK, RIMERMAN + CO. LLP alumni ranks now totaling more than 300. We don’t know what lies ahead, except that we are committed to the explicit belief that every student has the potential in life to accomplish extraordinary things and Cristo Rey just gives them a unique platform to tap into their skill and potential to find their path and excel.
