Individuals w ill then 'Vote with their Feet' to choose where they wish to locate based on economic and non-economic considerations. \n\nHowever\, both internati onally and within nations\, equity considerations lead to place-based poli cies and programs for disadvantaged regions and their populations. \n\nBu dget constraints and accountability suggest a selection or 'triage' proces s targeting places with the potential for returns on those investments in contributing to social welfare. \n\nWe propose a framework for assessing places that are appropriate for place-based policies\, based on the exampl es of Canada\, Chile and Peru.\n\nALL WELCOME!\n DTSTART:20120127T150000 DURATION:PT01H0M0S LOCATION:2C71 Agriculture SUMMARY:When is Place-Based Policy Appropriate?

The enormous growth of international trade means billons of new global cu stomers want to sell us their goods and buy our scarce natural resources i n return. \n\nMeanwhile\, the province has matured and stabilized politica lly\; little will hold its people back from capitalizing on these very fav ourable conditions. \nIn this concise and well-researched book accepted fo r the 2012 Donner Prize competition\, and published in collaboration with Canada's Frontier Centre for Public Policy\, David Breen Seymour seeks out the most vibrant and successful societies that have ever existed: Ancient Athens\, the Islamic Golden Age\, and Enlightenment Scotland--times and p laces in history where people achieved more and in a wider range of fields than anywhere else\, ever. \nHe then modernizes the lessons they offer an d applies them to Saskatchewan's choices from education and health care to Aboriginal policy and the shape of cities. \nSeymour concludes that money isn't enough\, but that Saskatchewan's prosperity provides the breathing space required to herd some sacred political cows on the way to becoming o ne of history's truly Golden Societies. \nAt 28 years of age\, David Breen Seymour represents a demographic of young professionals who are inheritin g the legacy of the Baby Boomer generation. \nBy voicing their ideas and c oncerns\, they are now taking ownership of their collective future. \nDavi d was most recently Director of the Saskatchewan office of the Frontier Ce ntre for Public Policy\, and is now an advisor to the New Zealance federal government.\n\nThis event is free of charge.\n DTSTART:20120131T150000 DURATION:PT01H0M0S LOCATION:Prairie Room\, Diefenbaker Building\,101 Diefenbaker Place\, Unive rsity of Saskatchewan SUMMARY:A Dialogue With Author David Seymour: Prosperity of historic propor tion awaits Canada's heartland . . . if Saskatchewan makes the right moves .

BioLegato is best thought of as a GUI that l aunches other programs. As in most GUIs\, each BioLegato window consists o f a canvas for displaying and manipulating data\, and a set of pull-down m enus. In the OO paradigm\, the canvas corresponds to the data\, and the me nus correspond to the methods associated with that data. Rather than being hard-coded\, menus and canvas are read at runtime. To specify the content s of menus\, we have created a small language\, PCD. Canvases are implemen ted as Java plugins. Thus\, a new GUI can be created by choosing a canvas appropriate to the data and writing menus in PCD.

This moot is n on-competitive and based on current issues in indigenous-government relati ons. Law schools from across Canada represent various interested parties a nd are required to prepare written arguments and give oral presentations o n matters arising out of the selected moot problem. Each law school repres ents one or two parties participating in the negotiations. The moot is con ducted in a circle format. The objective of the moot is to attempt to reac h a consensus on the issues raised by the moot problem. \n\nVision\nIn 199 3\, the Native Law Students Association of the University of Toronto had a vision. That vision was to create a forum where Aboriginal rights could b e debated by Aboriginal law students from across the country. The vision w as inspired by an unwavering belief in the oral abilities of Aboriginal la w students to speak to the issues of Aboriginal rights. Aboriginal student s bring a unique perspective\, analysis and understanding to the debate an d Aboriginal law students are capable of “speaking with knowledge”. Th e vision was to create a moot with subject matter about Aboriginal rights\ , a unique moot by\, about and for Aboriginal students.\n\nValues\nThe val ues which underwrite this vision are clear. The Aboriginal Rights Moot is to benefit all Aboriginal people by creating a public forum for Aboriginal issues. The moot is to be non-competitive\, in the sense that there are n o prizes\, no winners and no losers. The moot encourages Aboriginal studen ts to study and debate Aboriginal rights in the depth that\, within the li mits of law school\, only such an exercise as mooting allows.\n\nFormat\nT he format of this moot is unique: it is designed to respect and incorporat e Aboriginal values and concepts of dispute resolution. The participants s it in a large circle and make their presentation from locations around the circle. Four facilitators\, representing the four directions\, sit around the circle and comment on the presentation with the goal being to reach a consensus on the issues at stake. \n\n2012 Moot Problem \nBoth the probl em and possible outcomes are open-ended. The 2012 moot will be an exercise in multi-party negotiations to develop a process for dealing with the int erpretation of the historic yreaties\, such as the numbered treaties\, the Treaties of Peace and Friendship\, the Robinson Treaties and the Douglas Treaties. The nature of the process (or processes) and practical issues - e.g.\, concerning enforceability - will be determined by the participants in the negotiations. \n \nAppellate factums are not required. Instead\, w ritten proposals (20-30 pages) should address issues\, both procedural and substantive\, that the circle should consider in the development of a pro cess to address issues arising from the historic treaties. Participants ma y wish to consider materials such as the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Pe oples (RCAP) report\, modern treaties\, modern treaty processes\, the trea ty tables in provinces such as Saskatchewan\, the Charlottetown Accord and the Constitutional Conferences from the 1980s as well as international mo dels such as the Treaty of Waitangi Tribunal.\n\nThe deadline for submissi on of the written proposals is Monday\, February 13\, 5:30 p.m. CST. Propo sals will be submitted and made available to all participants through the website. \n\n DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120302 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120305 LOCATION:College of Law SUMMARY:Aboriginal Rights Moot URL:http://www.law.usask.ca/experiential-learning/kawaskimhon-2012-informat ion.php END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:87b0cbb480e9c1d427d3f34e8df90c13@usask.ca DTSTAMP:20130618T161502Z DESCRIPTION:Admission: $15 for adults & $10 for students/seniors. \n\nTicke ts are available from chorus members\, McNally-Robinson booksellers\, or a t the door\n DTSTART:20120304T150000 DURATION:PT02H0M0S LOCATION:Knox United Church SUMMARY:Greystone Singers Winter Concert URL:http://www.usask.ca/music/ensembles/greystones.html END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:87b795b480e9c1d427d3f34ecdc86352@usask.ca DTSTAMP:20130618T161502Z DESCRIPTION:In the Department of Music\, the Grad Recital displays a culmin ation of the student's hard work over his or her graduate years.\n\nThis G rad Recital features Jeff Folster - Piano Major. \n\nPlease join us to cel ebrate this student's achievements with a wonderful evening of music!\n\nA dmission: Free of Charge\n DTSTART:20120316T193000 DURATION:PT01H30M0S LOCATION:Convocation Hall SUMMARY:Department of Music: Grad Recital URL: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:8c01c15580e9c1d427d3f34eac1e2ae4@usask.ca DTSTAMP:20130618T161502Z DESCRIPTION:For the 'Do It Yourselfer'! \n\nLearn the principles and practi ces for properly pruning your own trees and shrubs.

The debates over the legal and illegal uses of LSD in this decade became tangl ed up in the politics of expertise as regulators contemplated whether medi cal authorities wielded suffi cient expertise to make decisions regarding public policy. This presentation returns to those historic debates and con siders the implications of those decisions for current psychedelic drug re search.\n\nErika Dyck grew up in Saskatoon and began her PhD in History of Medicine at McMaster University.\nHer dissertation has now been published as a book\, Psychedelic Psychiatry: LSD from Clinic to Campus by Johns Ho pkins University Press (2008). From 2005-2008 Erika was the co-director of the History of Medicine Program at the University of Alberta\, where she taught history courses for medical students as well as history of medicine courses for undergraduates and graduate students in the Faculty of Arts\, with particular emphasis on the history of psychiatry and mental health. Dr. Dyck is currently engaged in two major research projects related to th e history of mental health and psychiatry in western Canada.\nOne is a CIH R-funded collaborative project on the history of the closure of long-stay mental hospitals and a second \, funded by SSHRC\, looks at cases of indiv iduals who willingly or unwillingly underwent sexual sterilization surgery in Alberta in the 20th century.\n\nThose interested in attending are enco uraged to register online at www.schoolofpublicpolicy.sk.ca (please select News and Events\, then Events Calendar and the appropriate calendar date) .\n\n DTSTART:20120309T123000 DURATION:PT01H30M0S LOCATION:Prairie Room\, Diefenbaker Building SUMMARY:Just Say Know: Regulating Psychedelic Expertise URL:http://www.schoolofpublicpolicy.sk.ca END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:bfb2a62080e9c1d427d3f34e73a01b13@usask.ca DTSTAMP:20130618T161502Z DESCRIPTION:Craft Brewing: Bringing a Centuries-old Process to the 21st Cen tury \n\nSteve Cavan\,President\,CEO at Paddock Wood Brewing \nSaskatoon\, SK\n \n DTSTART:20120302T150000 DURATION:PT02H0M0S LOCATION:Room 2C71 Agriculture Bldg SUMMARY:BPBE 990 Seminar: Craft Brewing: Bringing a Centuries-old Process t o the 21st Century URL: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:bfe92cac80e9c1d427d3f34e79a1e563@usask.ca DTSTAMP:20130618T161502Z DESCRIPTION:Playoffs Canada West Final\n\nWebcast: http://www.canadawest.tv \n\nLivescore: http://www.canadawest.tv\n DTSTART:20120302T200000 DURATION:PT02H0M0S LOCATION:PAC SUMMARY:U of A Golden Bears AT U of S Huskies Men's Basketball URL:http://huskies.usask.ca/Home_Left/mens_sports/basketball/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:c045c1fb80e9c1d427d3f34e3b9059f1@usask.ca DTSTAMP:20130618T161502Z DESCRIPTION:The Department of Food and Bioproduct presents the Molson Fund Guest Lecturer Dr. Hani Antoun of the Department of Soil\, Agriculture and Agri-food Engineering & Horticulture Research Centre. \n\nDr. Antoun will be presenting on Microbial solubilization of phosphates.

Emblematic of kabuk i's creative defiance was the aragoto or 'wild stuff' of the Ichikawa Danj uro family\, a Buddhist-inspired style of acting which drew on the wrathfu l power of the deity Fudo from Narita temple.\n\nThis presentation examine s the Ichikawa style as an iconic expression of religion and entertainment in Edo Japan. By tracing the kabuki-Buddhism connection in and beyond the theatre\, it explores how the aragoto style functioned as on-stage prayer s empowering the actors as living incarnations of the Narita deity and spi ritual protectors of Edo. This presentation considers Ichikawa kabuki as a central\, though understudied\, example of Edo's recreational spaces in w hich devotion and amusement did not resist each other\, but rather formed a culture of play facilitating human contact with the divine.\n\nKevin Bon d\, Ph.D.\, specializes in Japanese religion and East Asian Buddhism. He i s an Assistant Professor in the Department of Religious Studies at the Uni versity of Regina\, where he teaches courses in the history of Buddhism an d Shinto. His current research projects examine deity cults and their loc al legends through non-canonical\, popular sources such as miracle tales a s a means to examine the recreational\, commercial\, and material cultures of early modern Japanese religion.\n\nEveryone welcome!\n\n\n\n DTSTART:20120309T160000 DURATION:PT01H30M0S LOCATION:ARTS 146 SUMMARY:Religion & Culture & CMRS Guest Lecture URL:http://artsandscience.usask.ca/religion/news/event.php?newsid=2637 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:e9ebef9980e9c1d427d3f34e9e91c589@usask.ca DTSTAMP:20130618T161502Z DESCRIPTION:The University Learning Centre (ULC) and University of Saskatch ewan Students' Union (USSU) will be hosting We Canada in their cross-Canad a tour on Monday\, March 12th at 4pm in Arts 241. \nThe purpose of the tou r is to engage young Canadians and civil society in dialogues and action f or the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development\, also known a s Earth Summit 2012 or Rio+20. \n\nTickets for the event are free but limi ted and must be reserved via Eventbrite (http://www.usask.ca/ulc/announcem ents/2012/02/u-s-hosts-earth-summit-dialogue). \n\nIf you are interested\, please reserve your spot immediately and encourage everyone you know - bo th on and off campus\, the young and the old - to do the same. \nAdditiona lly\, stay informed and spread the word via:\nFacebook (http://www.usask.c a/ulc/announcements/2012/02/u-s-hosts-earth-summit-dialogue)\, Twitter - f ollow @wecanada and tweet about the event using the hashtag #cndtour\n\nFo r more information about the tour\, please visit We Canada's 'We Canada To ur' webpage (http://earthsummit.ca/we-canada-tour/).

This passage of time and the recent ec onomic downturn aff ords researchers the opportunity to evaluate the succe ss of these regulations in encouraging fiscal responsibility. This paper p rovides both a quantitative analysis of the impact of BBL on expenditure g rowth and a qualitative assessment of BBL in Western Canada as these provi nces confronted the Great Recession. On both accounts\, our analysis sugge sts that BBL did not fare particularly well in terms of its original objec tives. BBL was neither strong enough to limit expenditure growth during th e good times nor was it adequate to prevent governments from choosing to r un deficits during the bad times.\n\nWayne Simpson is a graduate of the Un iversity of Saskatchewan and the London School of Economics.

The discipline originated in the latter half of the nineteent h century when civil engineers were called upon to design and construct la rge-scale urban water distribution and sewage collection systems. In the e arly 20th century\, the sanitary engineers began addressing environmental transport and fate. A key element involved the development of mathematical water-quality models linking anthropogenic waste discharges to ecosystem impacts. These models evolved over time to address a range of water-qualit y problems and management contexts. \n\nSteve Chapra's seminar provides an overview of the evolution of wastewater management and an assessment of t he current state of water-quality modelling and management.

As it has grown from a niche market to a multi-billion dollar global industry\, various aspects of the organic sec tor have experienced significant change\, including the meaning of organic itself. \n\nThis talk discusses how the rapid market expansion of organic agri-food conditions the development of policy covering organics and the behaviour of actors involved in the policy process. It begins by tracing h ow the origins of organic certification standards in localized\, producer- led organizations guided the development of a distinct ‘process-based’ conception of organic. It then discusses how the creation of national sta ndards in Canada and the US meant to facilitate market expansion\, favour a more ‘product-based’ conception of organic that is necessary for glo bal trade. I argue that the bifurcation of the definition of organic has b een crucially influenced by the way organic food has been incorporated int o multiple levels of governance including national policy regimes and inte rnational trade agreements. \n DTSTART:20121026T150000 DURATION:PT01H0M0S LOCATION:Rm 2E25 Agriculture Bldg SUMMARY:From private standards to public policy: how organic food went from the farm gate to the global plate URL: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:895becbd80e9d2550aa467d49385e54c@usask.ca DTSTAMP:20130618T161502Z DESCRIPTION:Alexa Hainsworth MFA Thesis Exhibition\n\nAlexa Hainsworth take s the hard no place of the white cube and refigures it as an enveloping bo dy of haptic stimulus.

In order to survive bodily death\, however\, one needs to stand in a relation of personal identity to a person existing some time a fter the death of one's body. And it is not entirely clear that any defens ible account of personal identity is compatible with the survival of bodil y death.

The way in which the boundary between public and pr ivate finance is drawn\, however\, differs greatly across nations\, with i mportant implications for the robustness of the public system. Recently\, many nations have been changing and blurring these boundaries\, borrowing ideas from each other to create new hybrids. The dynamic effects of these changes are still unfolding\, but one clear pattern is emerging: the role of “institutional entrepreneurs” spanning public and private sectors\, is driving these reforms in new directions and will be key to determining their ultimate impact. Professor Tuohy will discuss the implications of t he British\, American and Dutch experience for the Canadian system.\n\nCar olyn Tuohy holds a B.A. from the University of Toronto\, and an M.A. and P h.D. in Political Science from Yale University.\nHer area of research and teaching interest is comparative public policy\, with an emphasis on socia l policy. She is the author of numerous books\, journal articles and book chapters in the areas of health and social policy\, professional regulatio n\, and comparative approaches in public policy\, and is frequently consul ted by government and related agencies on public policy matters. Professor Tuohy is currently working on a comparative study of changes in health ca re policy in the past decade in Britain\, the Netherlands\, the United Sta tes and Canada.\n\n DTSTART:20121116T123000 DURATION:PT01H30M0S LOCATION:Prairie Room\, Diefenbaker Building\, University of Saskatchewan C ampus SUMMARY:Health Care Hybrids: How Other Nations are Changing the Public-Priv ate Mix and What it Means for Canada URL: http://www.schoolofpublicpolicy.sk.ca END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:8a5d454280e9d2550aa467d488160477@usask.ca DTSTAMP:20130618T161502Z DESCRIPTION:College of Law Guest Speaker Series\nPresents:\nJennifer Chandl er\nAssociate Professor of Law\, University of Ottawa\n“Rewiring” Crim inal Offenders: Challenges to the\nCriminal Justice System from Emerging N euroscience?\n\nMonday\, November 5\, 2012\n12:00 p.m.\nCollege of Law\, R oom 150\nMLT Lecture Theatre\n DTSTART:20121105T120000 DURATION:PT01H0M0S LOCATION:College of Law\, Room 150 SUMMARY:College of Law Guest Speaker Series URL: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:8f14180f80e9d255136a20624811362b@usask.ca DTSTAMP:20130618T161502Z DESCRIPTION:University of Saskatchewan\nCollege of Agriculture & Bioresourc es\nDepartment of Animal and Poultry Science\n\nPh.D. DEFENCE SEMINAR\n\nG emunu Widyaratne \n\n“The Role of Protein and Amino Acid Nutrition in Co ntrolling Clostridium perfringens in the Gastrointestinal Tract of Broiler Chickens” \n\n\n DTSTART:20121101T133000 DURATION:PT01H0M0S LOCATION:5C61 Agriculture Building SUMMARY:“The Role of Protein and Amino Acid Nutrition in Controlling Clos tridium perfringens in the Gastrointestinal Tract of Broiler Chickens” URL: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:98debf3380e9d2553eda834c2d10ba69@usask.ca DTSTAMP:20130618T161502Z DESCRIPTION:The third in a continuing series of Financial Town Hall meeting s being held to address the \n2012-16 operating budget challenges. \n\nThi s town hall will focus on a routine update and provide opportunities for d iscussion and dialogue with the provost and the acting vice-president fina nce and resources.\n \n DTSTART:20121120T120000 DURATION:PT01H0M0S LOCATION:Convocation Hall\, Peter MacKinnon Building SUMMARY:Financial Town Hall: Operating budget adjustments update URL:http://www.usask.ca/finances END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:98fd661880e9d2553eda834cc37331a0@usask.ca DTSTAMP:20130618T161502Z DESCRIPTION:Behavioral and neurological findings show that our cultural bac kground influences the way we perceive and interpret information.

She identifies fundamental disputes between donors ov er “tied” food aid\, which requires that food be sourced in the donor country versus “untied” aid\, which provides cash to purchase food clo ser to the source of hunger. These debates have been especially intense be tween the major food aid donors\, particularly the European Union and the United States. Similarly\, the EU’s rejection of GMO agricultural import s has raised concerns among recipients about accepting GMO foodstuffs from the United States. For the several hundred million people who at present have little choice but to rely on food aid for their daily survival\, the consequences of these political differences are profound. \n\nJennifer Cla pp is a professor in the Environment and Resource Studies Department\, Fac ulty of Environment Chair in Global Environmental Governance and Associate Dean of Research in the Faculty of Environment at the University of Water loo.

Food insecurity has been exacerbated in rec ent years by high and volatile food prices combined with a heavy reliance on imported food in the world’s poorest countries. In this talk\, Jennif er Clapp probes the forces that have contributed to the precarious global food security situation and assesses the international policy responses to it thus far. She analyses the role that global economic forces – includ ing financial speculation\, uneven trade rules\, biofuel policies and patt erns of transnational investment in agriculture – play in driving food p rice volatility and import reliance in developing countries. Clapp explore s some of the inadequacies of the response of the global community to this crisis\, including with respect to food assistance\, market regulation\, and agricultural investment. Solutions to the crisis\, she argues\, will r equire more comprehensive strategies at both the global and local level\, in rich and poor countries alike.\n\nJennifer Clapp’s current research f ocuses on the interface of environmental sustainability and global food se curity governance.

The Indigenous Peoples’ Health Research Centre (IPHRC ) and the Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School (JSGS) are pleased to present th is training opportunity that will examine the government’s obligation to consult with the Aboriginal community. Consultation and government’s le gal obligation to consult and accommodate has been evolving since the 1982 Guerin decision that established a Crown/Aboriginal fiduciary relationshi p and ensuing obligations which include the Honour of the Crown and the Du ty to Consult and Accommodate (DTCA). In many jurisdictions\, court action s have been successfully initiated by the Aboriginal community which has e stablished baseline legal parameters to consult with the Aboriginal commun ity. This area of law is continually evolving and reshaping parameters for consultation and accommodation.\n\nThis interactive workshop will provide an overview and history of the origins of the DTCA. It will examine where meaningful consultation has produced constructive relationships and where relationships have broken down\, prompting court actions. It will examine the emergence of how consultation has become a lawful obligation through Supreme Court of Canada rulings and how the DTCA has become the standard l anguage of consultation and relationship building between the Aboriginal c ommunity and governments. This workshop will also explore the benefits of developing productive relationships with the Aboriginal community and the challenges to developing these relationships. As well\, the workshop will explore the Aboriginal communities’ expectations of consultation and the motivations that go beyond the legal DTCA.In this workshop\, participants will examine:\n\n• The history and success of consultation and relation ship building in Saskatchewan\; • Looking outside of resource management – where the DTCA is triggered\; • An understanding of United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the standard of “Fre e\, Prior and Informed Consent” in relation to Aboriginal consultation\; • The emergence of Canadian court actions and their impact on Aborigina l relations including the Sparrow case\, the Haida Nation case \, the Taku River Tlingit First Nation case\, and the Mikisew Cree First Nation case\ ; • An overview of the Saskatchewan Government’s Consultation Policy F ramework and its development\; and\, • Examples of practical engagement with the Aboriginal community to ensure meaningful consultation.

Most Canadians\, and most government official s\, are puzzled by the complex legal and political aspects of contemporary Aboriginal communities and institutions. For public servants\, coming to terms with the reality and implications of Aboriginal constitutional and l egal rights is one of the most pressing challenges of the early 21st centu ry.\n\nThe Indigenous Peoples’ Health Research Centre (IPHRC) and the Jo hnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy (JSGS) are pleased to offer an interactive workshop that reviews the legislative and legal foundation s of current Aboriginal policies. The workshop includes case studies and s mall and large group discussions. Participants will work collaboratively t o determine both the meaning and impact of Aboriginal rights and will focu s on developing effective strategies for incorporating Indigenous constitu tional and legal rights into contemporary policy making.\n\nWhile attentio n will be given to the historical and legal origins of contemporary Aborig inal policies\, the workshop focuses on working effectively with Indigenou s peoples\, in the context of their legally defined rights. Participants w ill be challenged to assess the effectiveness of current government polici es and processes\, to identify shortcomings and accomplishments within dep artmental operations and to consider ways to connect government practice w ith constitutional and legal obligations to First Nations peoples.\n\nFor generations\, First Nations people in Saskatchewan have spoken about the i mportance of honouring the treaties and living as Treaty Peoples. This wor kshop describes how all Saskatchewan residents and all Canadians are simil arly required to be Treaty Peoples and to bring government policy and proc edures in line with changing national and international law and best pract ice.

His current research centres on poli cy in Europe and North America within domains requiring scientific knowled ge (notably biotechnology)\; on the role of experts in these domains\; on policy learning and\, more generally\, on disagreements generated by the m aking of policy choices. His past research includes environmental policy c omparisons. He has received research funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) and the Fonds québécois de recherche sur la société et la culture (FQRSC). In 2006\, his book\, Mi splaced Distrust\, won the American Political Science Association’s Lynt on Keith Caldwell Prize for the best book on environmental politics and po licy.

Gaisford\, \nDepartment of Economics\, Universit y of Calgary\n(co-author Olena Ivus)\n\nPresenting:\nShould Small Countrie s be more Protectionist?\nThe Diversification Motive for Tariffs\nAbstract :\nIn the certain world of simple international trade models\, large count ries with power over the terms of trade have a greater incentive to deviat e from free trade. The data\, however\, suggests that small countries are more prone to deviate from free trade. While political motives for protect ion may generally dwarf economic ones\, a significant mystery still remain s because there appears little reason for the strength of political motive s for tariff to decline systematically with country size. We argue that th e problem is that the conventional modeling paradigm based on a risk-free economic environment rules out an important driver for trade policy. We mo ve beyond this 'modelling myopia' and show that under uncertainty there ca n be a systematic rationale for smaller counties to implement tariffs to h elp diversify production.\n\nFriday\, February 1st\n\n3:00 pm \n\nRm 2E25 Agriculture Bldg \n51 Campus Drive\n\nEVERYONE WELCOME \n DTSTART:20130201T150000 DURATION:PT15H0M0S LOCATION:Rm 2E25 Agriculture Bldg SUMMARY:Bioresource Policy\, Business & Economics\, (BPBE 990 Seminar Serie s) URL: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:87a248ca80e9d25531e3bb9e66db10f5@usask.ca DTSTAMP:20130618T161502Z DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dylan Jones\, President & CEO\, Canada West Founda tion\n \nWestern Canada’s failure to pivot its economy to take advantage of Asian growth presents grave risks to our future prosperity. Nowhere is this more evident than in the oil business where literally billions of do llars in funding that would otherwise be available for our universities\, schools and hospitals is being lost due to our failure to access markets. This can be remedied by securing access to three critical markets: develop ing Asia\, the US Gulf Coast and under-utilized refineries on the North Am erican east coast. Exporting oil-related jobs to countries with poorer env ironmental standards is not the answer.\n\nPlease note: This lecture will take place in Regina and will be video-conferenced to a Saskatoon audience .\n \nRegina Location: JSGS Window Room\, 2nd Floor\, Gallery Building\, U niversity of Regina\, College Avenue Campus*\n \nSaskatoon Location: Prair ie Room\, Diefenbaker Building\, 101 Diefenbaker Place\, University of Sas katchewan Campus\n* Please be advised that the JSGS Window Room is located on the second floor of the Gallery Building.

Both Cana da and the United States are actively engaged in attempting to revise thei r basic immigration policies. Involvement by Canadian provinces is longsta nding and has been primarily motivated by cultural\, linguistic and econom ic considerations and tends to be pro immigration. The reverse is true in the case of many American states\, which participate only in refugee reset tlement but not the bulk of immigration. Using a comparative case study of Quebec and Georgia\, this lecture will present a clearer picture of the d iversity of immigration policies being applied throughout North America an d the success of those programs.\n\nDr. Richard Vengroff \, Ph.D.\, Maxwel l School\, Syracuse University\, specializes in comparative politics (Nort h America and Africa)\, comparative electoral systems\, development admini stration and management\, He is a recipient of the “Ordre National du Li on” (Senegal) and currently a Fulbright visiting Research Chair at Carle ton University.

There is economic and political turmoil everywhere. The indicators t hat lead to the First and Second World War are starting to appear. Financi al crisis is leading to power struggle amongst nations. Different alliance s are being formed. Nations are being threatened for their sovereignty. Ev eryday thousands of people are killed. Recently\, the United Nations repor ted over 60\,000 people killed in Syria. There are political movements all across the world using people’s emotion and in the name of revolution\, threatening world peace. \n \nHowever\, The Current Spiritual Head & Khal ifa of the World Wide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community\, Mirza Masroor Ahmad (ma y Allah strengthen his hand) has previously responded to this by saying th at in the modern world\, countries could no longer afford to remain isolat ed and even global powers like the United States were dependent on interna tional trade and foreign relations. He said developed countries ought not to exploit weaker nations but should seek to help them develop and succeed .\n \n“Let it be clear that I am not speaking in support or favour of an y particular individual country. What I wish to say is that all forms of c ruelty\, wherever they exist\, must be eradicated and stopped\, regardless of whether they are perpetrated by the people of Palestine\, the people o f Israel or the people of any other country.”\n \nThe Khalifa spoke of t he need not just for co-operation within Europe\, but called for global un ity. His Holiness said:“Speaking from an Islamic perspective\, we should strive for the entire world to unite together. In terms of currency the w orld should be united. In terms of business and trade the world should be united. And in terms of freedom of movement and immigration\, cohesive and practical policies should be developed\, so that the world can become uni ted.” \n \nKeeping this goal in mind in response to the troubling events seen recently\, we\, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Student’s Association at the University of Saskatchewan cannot find a better time than the present to a ddress such pressing issues which put the whole world’s peace at risk. This event will take place on Tuesday\, March 5th from 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM in the Arts building\, room 241 at the University of Saskatchewan.\n DTSTART:20130305T180000 DURATION:PT02H30M0S LOCATION:Arts Building SUMMARY:World Peace at Risk URL: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:0304b91480e9d2555ed6d53c183d3232@usask.ca DTSTAMP:20130618T161502Z DESCRIPTION:: The Global Institute for Water Security invites you to join u s for a distinguished lecture in hydrology by guest Dr. Jakeman titled: In tegrated Catchment Management: the roles of modelling and decision support .\n \nTony Jakeman is Professor\, Fenner School of Environment and Society and Director of the Integrated Catchment Assessment and Management (iCAM) Centre\, The Australian National University.

Such methods provide a way to un derstand a system’s behavior as a whole and as more than the sum of its parts\, and a means of anticipating and managing the behavior of a system in more judicious and proactive fashion. Within this talk\, we will highli ght the great promise afforded by combining Systems Science techniques and rich data sources\, particularly emphasizing the role of cross-linking si mulation models with fine-grained temporal and spatial data collected by s martphone-based and other sensors\, and other increasingly rich databases. Decision-oriented models grounded by such novel data sources can allow fo r articulated theory building regarding difficult-to-observe aspects of hu man behavior. Such models can also aid in informing evaluation of and judi cious selection between sophisticated interventions to lessen the health b urden of a wide variety of health conditions. \n\nDr. Nathaniel Osgood’s research is focused on providing cross-linked simulation\, ubiquitous sen sing\, and inference tools to inform understanding of population health tr ends and health policy tradeoffs. His applications work has addressed chal lenges in the communicable\, environmental\, chronic and zoonotic disease areas. In addition to health applications\, Dr. Osgood is the co-creator o f two novel wireless sensor-based epidemiological monitoring systems\, mos t recently the Google Android-based “iEpi” smartphone system.\n\nDate: Friday\, March 15\, 2013 12:30 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.\n\nLocation: Prairie r oom\, Diefenbaker Building\, University of Saskatchewan Campus\n\nRegistra tion: Those interested in attending are encouraged to register online at w ww.schoolofpublicpolicy.sk.ca (please select News and Events\, then Events Calendar and the appropriate calendar date).\n DTSTART:20130315T123000 DURATION:PT01H30M0S LOCATION:Prairie Room\, Diefenbaker Building\, University of Saskatchewan SUMMARY:Cross-Leveraging Dynamic Modeling & Big Data to Confront Complex He alth Services Research Problems URL: http://www.schoolofpublicpolicy.sk.ca END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:5b7b834280e9d2556803514af88566e8@usask.ca DTSTAMP:20130618T161502Z DESCRIPTION:The University of Saskatchewan invites you to attend the third and final public session to discuss the potential of a new school of archi tecture.

Smith\, Professor of Health Policy\, Im perial College London\n\nWhen it came to power in 1997\, Tony Blair's gove rnment sought to revolutionize the way in which UK public services were pl anned and delivered. In particular\, it sought to focus the actions of min isters on explicit objectives and targets\, in the form of 'Public Service Agreements' (PSAs). The distinctive feature of this system was a range of high profile mechanisms designed to ensure that PSAs led to measurable ch anges in public service performance. This presentation will summarize the history of the PSA regime\, describe some of the major issues that arose i n its implementation\, and assess its general relevance to the management of public services by governments in Canada contemplating\, implementing o r using performance management regimes.\n\nPeter C. Smith is Professor of Health Policy at Imperial College London\, where he co-directs the Centre for Health Policy. He is a mathematics graduate from the University of Oxf ord\, and was formerly Director of the Centre for Health Economics at the University of York. He is author of many academic papers on the financing and efficiency of public services\, and is with Sherry Glied joint editor of the Oxford Handbook of Health Economics. Particular research interests include health system performance assessment\, value for money\, and the e quitable financing of public services. Smith has advised many government m inistries and international agencies\, including the World Health Organiza tion\, the International Monetary Fund\, the World Bank\, the European Com mission and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.\n\n Registration accepted online only at www.schoolofpublicpolicy.sk.ca\n DTSTART:20130418T170000 DURATION:PT03H0M0S LOCATION:Convention Hall\, Conexus Arts Centre\, 200A Lakeshore Drive\, Reg ina\, SK SUMMARY:Strategic Targets for Public Services: Lessons for Canada from the English Experience URL:http://www.schoolofpublicpolicy.sk.ca END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:899b11fd80e9d25552d385254cff4b20@usask.ca DTSTAMP:20130618T161502Z DESCRIPTION:- http://grad.usask.ca/awards/awardsearch.taf?_function=detail& AwardCategory_uid1=&Awards_uid2=438&AwardsCollegeJoin_uid3=&College_uid4= \nTo recognize excellence and original quality in graduate student researc h.

In Canada and the United States\, increasing economic instability has been an unpleasant implication of increasing inequality. However\, in Mexico the establishment of a large social transfer program\, rural out-m igration\, expansion of primary and secondary enrolment\, increased female employment and declining birth rates have helped Mexico reduce inequality (albeit from a high level) in recent years. Stability in market income sh ares and macro-economic fl ows requires equalization of income growth rate s – either an acceleration of the income growth rate of the bottom 99%\, or a decline in income growth of the top 1% would do. There is no evidenc e that purely economic forces will produce either outcome anytime soon in Canada or the U.S. – any return to stability depends on political econom y. \n\nDr. Lars Osberg attended Queen’s University and the London School of Economics and Political Science. After two years working for the Tanza nia Sisal Corporation as a CUSO volunteer\, he went to Yale University for his Ph.D. He has had numerous visiting positions most recently he was Sen ior Visiting Research Fellow at Research on Poverty Alleviation (REPOA) an d Visiting Scholar at the Indira Ghandi Institute for Development Research . His major fields of research interest have been the extent and causes of poverty and economic inequality\, with particular emphasis on social poli cy and the implications of working time\, unemployment\, economic insecuri ty and economic development.\n\nRegistration: Those interestd in attending are encouraged to register online at www.schoolofpublicpolicy.sk.ca (plea se select News and Events\, then Events Calendar and the appropriate calen dar date).\n DTSTART:20130410T133000 DURATION:PT01H30M0S LOCATION:Prairie Room\, Diefenbaker Building\, University of Saskatchewan SUMMARY:Increasing Inequality is Unbalanced Growth: Evidence from North Ame rica URL:http://www.schoolofpublicpolicy.sk.ca END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:d1f5d0cb80e9d25512d048432f9265df@usask.ca DTSTAMP:20130618T161502Z DESCRIPTION:: Think doctorate Think Europe\n\nAre you considering a doctor ate program?

Her art historical genealogy traverses many eras\, from Surrea lism to Expressionism\, but perhaps she owes her greatest impulse to the S ymbolist outgrowth of Romanticism. Enthralled by the inner material of the self\, the Romantics preferred to view emotions as an implicitly valid ap proach to the world\, and not secondary to analytic thought.

Since its launch\, the mission has helped to confirm th at precipitation\, evaporation and continental discharge rates are increas ing\, that the mid-latitudes are drying while the high and low latitudes a re moistening\, and that the hydrologic extremes of flooding and drought a re becoming even more extreme. Importantly\, GRACE has exposed the human f ingerprint of water management practices such as groundwater use and reser voir storage\, which raises many important issues for climate\, water\, fo od and economic security. Moreover\, the GRACE mission has enabled us to p eer beneath Earth’s surface and characterize the worldwide depletion of groundwater aquifers\, raising significant concerns about the potential fo r heightened conflict over transb oundary water resources. In this talk I review the basics of how the GRACE mission observes terrestrial and globa l hydrology\, what new information the mission has provided since its laun ch in 2002\, and the implications for the future of water availability and sustainable water resources management.\n\n\n--\nDr. Jay Famiglietti is a hydrologist and a professor of Earth System Science at the University of California\, Irvine\, where he is the Founding Director of the UC Center f or Hydrologic Modeling.
