Proposal for Selection of New Higher Doctorate Academic Dress Scott Pilkington
Proposal for selection of new higher doctorate academic dress Scott Pilkington October 2019 Executive Summary AUT has recently had approved by CUAP the addition of two higher doctorates (DLitt and DSc) in addition to the suite of current named and other doctorates (PhD, DHSc, and EdD). There is the potential that additional higher doctorates may be created in future (e.g. LLD, DEng). As such, an opportunity is presented to develop new academic dress for these qualifications that sets them apart from the other doctorates being awarded by the university. Following here is an analysis of the historical context and review of other universities, and then the proposal for new doctoral academic dress (regalia) at AUT. Four designs have been proposed, with design D (p37) being recommended by the Graduate Research School for adoption. Costings have been obtained and are provided in appendix 4 (p28). The design recommended blends the styles used for the current doctorates and for the official party to facilitate a design that is sufficiently elevated to recognise the life work of a graduate, without competing with the finery worn by the Chancellor and Vice Chancellor.

Do Good Intentions Beget Good Policy? Two Steps Forward and One Step Back in the Construction of Domestic Violence in Ontario
Do Good Intentions Beget Good Policy? Two Steps Forward and One Step Back in the Construction of Domestic Violence in Ontario by April Lucille Girard-Brown A thesis submitted to the Department of Sociology In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen‟s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada January, 2012 Copyright ©April Lucille Girard-Brown, 2012 Abstract The construction of domestic violence shifted and changed as this issue was forced from the private shadows to the public stage. This dissertation explores how government policy initiatives - Bill 117: An Act to Better Protect Victims of Domestic Violence and the Domestic Violence Action Plan (DVAP) - shaped our understanding of domestic violence as a social problem in the first decade of the twenty-first century in Ontario. Specifically, it asks whose voices were heard, whose were silenced, how domestic violence was conceptualized by various stakeholders. In order to do this I analyzed the texts of Bill 117, its debates, the DVAP, as well as fourteen in-depth interviews with anti- violence advocates in Ontario to shed light on their construction of the domestic violence problem. Then I examined who (both state and non-state actors) regarded the work as „successful‟, flawed or wholly ineffective. In particular, I focused on the claims and counter-claims advanced by MPPs, other government officials, feminist or other women‟s group advocates and men‟s or fathers‟ rights group supporters and organizations. The key themes derived from the textual analysis of documents and the interviews encapsulate the key issues which formed the dominant construction of domestic violence in Ontario between 2000 and 2009: the never-ending struggles over funding, debates surrounding issues of rights and responsibilities, solutions proposed to address domestic violence, and finally the continued appearance of deserving and undeserving victims in public policy. -
The Case of the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO)
Accountability and Financial Oversight Reform: The Case of the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) by Daniel McKenzie A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts Department of Political Studies University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2012 by Daniel McKenzie Abstract The Conservative Government came to power in 2006 on a platform of accountability. One aspect of this platform was the creation of a Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO). The PBO was intended to contribute to a higher level of accountability in government budgeting. This thesis seeks to explain why the PBO was created, what it does, and contemplates whether the PBO has been able to help Parliamentarians hold the Executive to account. In addition, the thesis questions how the PBO itself is held accountable. Finally the study considers potential changes to the PBO and what might become of the PBO after its conspicuous first leader Kevin Page passes from the scene. Minor changes to the PBO’s legislation and placement within the institutions of government may improve the results of the PBO. However, the PBO’s effectiveness, independence and accountability will still depend on the office’s structural characteristics and leadership. 2 For Mom and Dad 3 Acknowledgements I am forever indebted to my parents.

It is an attempt to examine the approaches of Christopher Marlowe, William Shakespeare, and Ben Jonson to Oriental material in their plays. The thesis is divided into the following six chapters: Chapter 1, 'Orientalism in the Medieval Age fllOO-1500^: A Historical Survey', presents an outline of the beginning and main contours of literary Orientalism up to the Renaissance period. The historical setting helps us, in turn, appreciate Elizabethan Orientalism, especially how it marks a departure from Medieval tradition of literary Orientalism. Chapter 2, 'Orientalism in the Elizabethan Period', focuses Oriental images in Elizabethan travels, diplomatic relations, socio-economic interests, and dramatic works. The main concern, however, is to describe the ^{JESIS presentation of the Orient in the literary texts of this period. Chapter 3, 'The Oriental Landscape', deals with Marlowe's, Shakespeare's and Jonson's fascination with the Oriental landscape with concrete illustrations from their plays. The playwrights speak admiringly of the Orient as a marvellous land, though they had never visited any Oriental country. -
REFORMING FISCAL INSTITUTIONS in CANADA Mostafa Askari,* Kevin
REFORMING FISCAL INSTITUTIONS IN CANADA Mostafa Askari,* Kevin Page* and Stephen Tapp* 1 Persistent structural deficits and the lead-up to the 1990s fiscal crisis Canada experienced a fiscal crisis in the mid-1990s. The crisis came to a head due to a confluence of factors, but ultimately occurred because successive governments failed to address significant structural deficits that persisted for decades. Some statistics help convey the gravity of the problem: prior to balancing the budget federally in 1997, Canada ran 27 consecutive deficits (Figure 1). The PBO estimates that the federal government’s structural deficit – which attempts to adjust for the fiscal impacts of the business cycle – averaged 5.3 per cent of GDP in the two decades prior to the crisis (Figure 2). With these large deficits, the federal debt-to-GDP ratio rose steadily over two decades, from 18 per cent in 1974 to a post-WWII high of 68 per cent in 1994. As government debt grew, so did public debt charges. At more than 6 per cent of GDP, debt charges represented 38 cents of every dollar in federal government revenue and increasingly crowded out the resources available to deliver public services. Prior to the fiscal crisis, some partial corrective policy actions were taken that modestly improved the federal government’s structural budget balance.1 However, while government budget forecasts repeatedly predicted falling deficits in the early 1990s, these failed to materialize due to high domestic interest rates (aimed at reducing inflation) and the effects of a lingering recession. Concerns about the credibility of the government’s forecasts eventually led to an external review (Ernst and Young, 1994). -
