  • Desperately Seeking Representation: an Investigation Into Visible Minority Electability Under Vancouver’S At-Large Electoral System
    Desperately Seeking Representation: An Investigation into Visible Minority Electability under Vancouver’s At-large Electoral System by Matthew G. Smith A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master’s of Arts in Human Geography Graduate Department of Geography University of Toronto © 2011 Desperately Seeking Representation: An Investigation into Visible Minority Electability under Vancouver’s At-large Electoral System Matthew G. Smith Master’s of Arts Degree in Human Geography Department of Geography University of Toronto 2011 Abstract The results of Vancouver’s 2008 municipal election led to critiques that South Asian candidates, and possibly all visible minority candidates, face reduced electability under Vancouver’s at-large electoral system than they would under a different municipal electoral system. This thesis employs numerous quantitative research methods to assess whether visible minority candidates do face reduced electability under the at-large system compared to a ward system proposed for Vancouver in 2004. The extent that Vancouver’s 2008 election results fulfil three U.S. Supreme Court conditions for establishing minority vote dilution is also assessed as part of this thesis research. ii Acknowledgments Profound thanks to my wife, Heather Fussell, who supported me through my doubts and confusion and without whom the completion of this thesis would not have been possible. I am also indebted to my supervisor, Dr. Alan Walks, whose guidance and input was invaluable in helping me plan and execute my research and write this thesis. I would also like to thank my sister, Annabel Smith, who helped with editing and pep talks and my “coach”, Laurel Jebamani, whose skills and feedback assisted me in successfully applying to the University of Toronto.

  • The Work of the Lgbtq Civic Advisory Committee, 2009-14
    Queering Vancouver: The Work of the lgbtq Civic Advisory Committee, 2009-14 Catherine Murray* he proposition, so often asserted, that Vancouver is an avant- garde paradise for people who identify as lgbtq (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, and queer) merits careful examination.1 What evidence is usually cited? Social movement historians confirm that T lgbtq the city was the site of the first organization – the Association for Social Knowledge (ask) – that influenced national and regional social movements; that it developed a “thick,” active, and diverse associative structure of local gay, lesbian, and transgender rights and service groups; that it was the site of transformative protests or events; and that it is today well ensconced within Pacific Northwest and global social networks.2 Its lgbtq groups have achieved a distinctive record of groundbreaking struggles – even if there is as yet little agreement among social historians * I am indebted to the International Women’s World (2011) panel, the members of which discussed the first draft of this article; to Sarah Sparks, research assistant and MA graduate in Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies at Simon Fraser University; the constructive anonymous reviewers from BC Studies; and, especially, BC Studies’ editor Graeme Wynn. 1 Manon Tremblay, ed., Queer Mobilizations: Social Movement Activism and Canadian Public Policy (Vancouver: ubc Press, 2015), 31. Like Tremblay, I use the term “queer” to designate all non-heterosexual people. 2 For queer urban history of Vancouver, see Anne-Marie Bouthillette, “Queer and Gendered Housing: A Tale of Two Neighborhoods in Vancouver,” in Queers in Space: Communities, Public Spaces, Sites of Resistance, ed.
