English Language Arts and Social Reproduction in Alberta
University of Alberta Reading Between the Lines and Against the Grain: English Language Arts and Social Reproduction in Alberta by Leslie Anne Vermeer A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theoretical, Cultural and International Studies in Education Department of Educational Policy Studies © Leslie Anne Vermeer Fall 2012 Edmonton, Alberta Permission is hereby granted to the University of Alberta Libraries to reproduce single copies of this thesis and to lend or sell such copies for private, scholarly or scientific research purposes only. Where the thesis is converted to, or otherwise made available in digital form, the University of Alberta will advise potential users of the thesis of these terms. The author reserves all other publication and other rights in association with the copyright in the thesis and, except as herein before provided, neither the thesis nor any substantial portion thereof may be printed or otherwise reproduced in any material form whatsoever without the author's prior written permission. This dissertation is dedicated to the memory of Timothy James Beechey (1954–2011), who represented for me everything that teaching and learning are and can be; and to Bruce Keith and Zachary Keith, because no one earns a doctorate by herself. Abstract Alberta's 2003 High School English Language Arts curriculum produces differential literacies because it grants some students access to high-status cultural knowledge and some students access to merely functional skills. This differential work reflects an important process in sorting, selecting, and stratifying labour and reproducing stable, class-based social structures; such work is a functional consequence of the curriculum, not necessarily recognized or intentional. -

Eat at home and buy the books. Jack Rabinovitch1 Founded in 1994 by Jack Rabinovitch, the Giller Prize was established to honour Rabinovitch’s late wife, the journalist Doris Giller, who had died from cancer a year earlier.2 Since its inception, the prize has served to recognize excellence in Canadian English-language fiction, including both novels and short stories. Initially the award was endowed to provide an annual cash prize of $25,000.3 In 2005, the Giller Prize partnered with Scotiabank to create the Scotiabank Giller Prize. Under the new arrangement, the annual purse doubled in size to $50,000, with $40,000 going to the winner and $2,500 going to each of four additional finalists.4 Beginning in 2008, $50,000 was given to the winner and $5,000 * Andrew Irvine holds the position of Professor and Head of Economics, Philosophy and Political Science at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan.

Myrna Kostash (1944)
Myrna Kostash (1944) Myrna Kostash is a third-generation Ukranian-Canadian who has put Edmonton on the literary map of Canada. She is a writer and journalist whose work includes books, articles, playscripts, and radio documentaries. Kostash was born and raised in Edmonton. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Alberta in 1965, and in 1968 she received her Master’s degree in Russian Language and Literature from the University of Toronto. All of Baba’s Children is Kostash’s ground breaking nonfiction book. Published in 1977, it has never gone out of print. Researched in Two Hills, Alberta, it provides insight into the experience of the first generation of Ukrainian-Canadians in the west. This book opened doors for first and second generation prairie authors of ethnic descent and has also been enthusiastically discussed in school syllabi across Europe and North America. Kostash has eight other highly-praised nonfiction books, including Prodigal Daughter: A Journey to Byzantium short-listed for a European prize.. Some of her articles and columns have appeared in magazines such as Saturday Night, Chatelaine, Maclean’s, and Canadian Geographic, and in literary journals such as Brick, Grain and Prairie Fire. Essays have been translated into Serbian, Polish, Macedonian and German.
