tion: JSGS Window Room\, 2nd Floor\, Gallery Building\nUniversity of Regin
a\, College Avenue Campus\n\nHuman trafficking involves the commercial sex
ual exploitation or forced labour of women\, men\, and children throughout
the world. Although designed to respond to the needs of trafficked person
s\, Canadian anti-trafficking measures potentially contribute to the insec
urities faced by trafficked women. By examining existing anti-trafficking
approaches\, this presentation raises important questions about the comple
x relationship between humanitarian action\, national security\, and citiz
enship in an era of globalization.\n\nJulie Kaye is a PhD Candidate in the
Department of Sociology at the University of Saskatchewan. She has resear
ched and published peer-reviewed articles on ethnicity\, conflict\, and pe
acebuilding in West Africa in journals such as the Journal of Contemporary
African Studies and the Journal of Development Studies. Her current resea

\n\nSt. Joseph\u2019s Healthcare Hamilton is a regional hub for the delive
ry of specialized mental health care for southwest Ontario (1.4 million pe
ople). The hospital\u2019s mental health program has evolved through both
divestment and investment in the last five years\, now with nearly 300 inp
atient beds\, over 25 distinct outpatient clinics\, and is closely allied
with the academic Department of Psychiatry at McMaster University. As this
program was growing in scope and impact\, Ontario\u2019s Ministry of Heal
th was increasingly calling on hospitals to provide clear and publicly ava
ilable information about a variety of quality and safety indicators. The Q
uality and Evaluation Service Team (QuEST) was founded under the leadershi
p of Dr. Bieling to bring high level conceptual\, methodological and analy
tical knowledge to bear on quality issues. The team has been involved in a
variety of reform and change initiatives that will be discussed in this p
resentation. Dr. Bieling\u2019s talk will provide both conceptual informat
ion\, and hands-on wisdom around the implementation of research at the fro
nt lines of care.\n\nPeter Bieling\, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor in th
e Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Neurosciences at McMaster Unive
rsity and Chair of the QuEST Team\, as well as Manager of Mood\, Anxiety\,
and Geriatric Services at St. Joseph\u2019s Healthcare in Hamilton Ontari

DESCRIPTION:Much of the discussion of public policy systems assumes a tradi

ing in authoritative stable hierarchies. In this world\, the role of insti
tutions and individuals is predictable. In the 21st century\, all of those
underlying assumptions are challenged by new distributed forms of governa
nce. This talk will examine the transformations in our public policy syste
m and examine the role of complex\, interconnected networks (where feedbac
k loops amplify or mute responses) and newly engaged \u2018interested\u201

will pose some practical implications for policy managers and policy analy

mic has put him in high demand. He spent 13 years in industry and governme
nt\, mainly as an economist and policy advisor\, and has since invested a
matching 13 years at the University of Saskatchewan. \n\nPeter has been a
member of four colleges or schools and four departments\, and today combin
es his experiences in researching the interface between the state and the

DESCRIPTION:'How Should We Think About Hate Speech?'\n\nProfessor Ken Norma
n (College of Law\, U of S)\n\nThe Supreme Court of Canada currently is de
liberating the Whatcott case. During the arguments several of the judges
peppered counsel with questions revealing a strong distaste for s.14 of T
he Saskatchewan Human Rights Code’s project of protecting minorities fro
m hateful speech. For the purposes of our discussion let’s look at one
of William Whatcott’s pamphlets\, “Sodomites in our Public Schools”
which asserts: “If Saskatchewan’s sodomites have their way\, your scho
ol board will be celebrating buggery too!” and\, “Our acceptance of ho
mosexuality and our toleration of its promotion in our school system will
lead to the early death and morbidity of many children”. So far\, in th
e three tiers of adjudication leading to the Supreme Court\, the answer to
the question whether this message amounts to hatred that can be limited b
y a human rights code without infringing freedom of expression under the C
harter has been yes\, yes and no. The arguments in the national \ncontrove
rsy surrounding Whatcott as to the wisdom of limiting any speech deserve o
ur attention.\n\nSponsored by the Department of Philosophy & the College o
f Arts and Science.

DESCRIPTION:Disability and Social Policy:\nThe Experience of the British We
lfare State\n\nPresented by Jameel Hampton\, Bristol University\n\nCreated
during and immediately after the Second World War\, the British Welfare S
tate seemed to promise universal welfare as part of the solidarity ethos o
f the time and a desire to forever avoid the socioeconomic ills experience
d in the 1930's. \n\nIt was soon discovered\, however\, that physically di
sabled people received nothing from the Welfare State and were a deprived
group in a period of unprecedented affluence.\n\nThis presentation discuss
es how social policy for disabled people was perceived in both cash and se
rvices\, and highlights the influence of the Disablement Income Group\, th
e 1972 Thalidomide Campaign\, and the 1973 Jimmy Martin Scandal in changin
g perceptions about disabled people and their welfare.\n\nJameel Hampton h
as submitted his PhD for examination at Bristol University in the United K
ingdom. He has presented internationally on the history of disability and
social policy and recently taught an undergraduate course on Modern Irish
History at the University of Regina. His current research interests includ
e the history of Thalidomide and the influence of public scandals in the c
reation of social policy.\n\nRegistration:\nThose interested in attending

DESCRIPTION:Its a cliche that our world is getting smaller. But as teachers
we find that our audience is getting larger. We might ask then\, just who
is our audience? Beyond our students in classrooms\, we coach\, consult\,
advise and teach peers\, organizations\, and members of distinct communit
ies locally\, regionally and abroad. Should we as teachers\, engage other
segments of society\, such as parents on educational questions such as the
quality of education we provide? How do we make our scholarship more acce
ssible to the public? What kinds of inquiry will meet the needs that serve
the larger society? How should we communicate given the explosion of alte
rnate media? Do we have the capacity to connect with wider audiences?\n\nI
n this address\, which is a feature event hosted by the Gwenna Moss Centre
for Teaching Effectiveness\, Dr. Arshad Ahmad\, President of the Society
for Teaching & Learning in Higher Education (STLHE) and 3M National Teachi
ng Fellow (1992) shares his ideas and perspectives on these compelling que

DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Brad Wuetherick and Sheryl Mills\, from the Gwen
na Moss Centre. Innovation in teaching and learning can take many forms. I
n fact\, it is easy to get overwhelmed with the possibilities for new appr
oaches to teaching and learning in your classroom. What should I implement
? What would have the most impact on my students' learning? This short cou
rse will explore ten high-impact educational activities that research show
s have among the biggest bang for the buck in terms of improving student l
earning outcomes - first-year seminars and experiences\, common intellectu
al experiences\, learning communities\, writing-intensive courses\, collab
orative assignments and projects\, undergraduate research\, diversity/glob
al learning\, service or community-based learning\, internships\, and caps
tone courses/projects. Each session will be aimed at very practical ways i
n which these high-impact practices can be easily implemented in your clas
sroom or program. These high impact \nactivities\, each of which have a lo
ng tradition of research exploring their effectiveness in higher education
\, have been identified by the Liberal Education and America's Promise (LE
AP) project led George Kuh for the Association of American Colleges and Un
iversities (AACU). You can attend only those sessions which are of most in
terest to you\, or you can participate in all five workshops to complete t
his short course. Session one: High-Impact Educational Activities: First Y
ear Seminars and Learning Communities\nDescription: Innovation in teaching
and learning can take many forms. In fact\, it is easy to get overwhelmed
with the possibilities for new approaches to teaching and learning in you
r classroom. What should I implement? What would have the most impact on m
y students' learning? The first of five workshops in this short course\, t
his session will discuss two high-impact education activities - first year
seminars and learning communities - that\, in the research literature\, h
ave consistently improved student learning outcomes across all disciplines
. First year seminars bring faculty and students together in a small group
experience (often emphasizing critical inquiry\, writing\, information li
teracy\, and collaborative learning)\, while learning communities provide
opportunities to integrate learning (often around common questions or them
es) across multiple courses. This session will be aimed at very practical
ways in which these high-impact practices can be easily implemented in you
r classroom or program. (You may register for this session either as part
of the short course\, or as a stand alone workshop).

DESCRIPTION:Democratic Multinationalism: A Political Approach to Indigenous
-State Relations in Canada\n\nPresented by Dr. Fiona MacDonald\nAssistant
Professor\, University of Manitoba\n\nThursday\, February 17\n1:30 to 3:00
p.m.\n\nPlease note: This lecture will take place in Regina and\nwill be
video-conferenced to a Saskatoon audience.\n\nSaskatoon location:\nUnivers
ity of Saskatchewan Campus\,\nEducation Building\, Studio B (Lower Level)
\n\nRegina location*:\nUniversity of Regina\, College Avenue Campus\nJSGS
Window Room\, 2nd Floor\, Gallery Building\nThe starting point for this pr
esentation is that Indigenous autonomy is a relational political practice
rather than a resource to be distributed by a benevolent state. Building o
n this perspective\, Dr. Fiona MacDonald will situate Indigenous autonomy
in a robustly political model of democratic multinationalism. This approac
h is characterized by four central tenants: the morality of Indigenous aut
onomy\, the need for Indigenous-state deliberation and political reciproci
ty\, the permanency of conflict\, and the vital role of Indigenous counter
publics. Dr. MacDonald will argue that conceiving of Indigenous issues as
inherently political in nature\, as opposed to culturally defined and cons
tituted\, better meets the challenges of colonial legacy and context of de
ep difference in which Indigenous-state relations take place today.\n\nDr.
Fiona MacDonald is an Assistant Professor at the University of Manitoba.
Her research interests include Indigenous-state relations in Canada\, ethi
cs of care philosophy\, and critical approaches to multiculturalism. Her m
ost recent publications can be found in the feminist political theory jour
nal Hypatia\, as well as the edited volumes First Nations\, First Thoughts
and The Ashgate Reader on Multiculturalism.\n\nRegistration: \nThose inte

ampus \nThe Liberal Party has governed Canada for much of the country's hi
story. Yet over the past two decades\, the 'natural governing party' has
found itself in opposition for nearly half of that time and has been uncha
racteristically riven by internal strife\, leadership disputes\, and finan
cial woes. Currently trailing in the polls\, the party seems unable to ta
ke advantage of ongoing public ambivalence towards the Harper Conservative
s and faces unprecedented challenges to its very survival. In Divided Loy
alties\, Brooke Jeffrey draws on her own experience as a party insider and
on interviews with more than sixty senior Liberals\n\nA native of western
Canada\, Brooke Jeffrey was raised and educated in British Columbia and S
askatchewan\, where she received her MA in political science from the Univ
ersity of Saskatchewan. She holds a doctorate in political science from Ca
rleton University and has published extensively in the fields of public ad
ministration and public policy\, Canadian federalism and European integrat
ion. Among her many chapters in edited collections is a chapter on collabo
rative federalism prepared for the festschrift publication Continuity and
Change in Canadian Politics\, in honour of David Smith\, her former superv
isor.\n\n

learners requires a respect for and welcoming of Indigenous Knowledges. W
hile this finding\, as a hypothesis\, tends not to be overtly contested wi
thin post-secondary environments it has not readily\, or easily\, found it
s way into the teaching practice of many non-Indigenous post-secondary edu
cators. \n\nThis session explores this conundrum by sharing the findings o
f a study involving non-Indigenous\, College of Education faculty from the
University of Saskatchewan who were asked about their experience of integ
rating Indigenous Knowledges into their instruction. The aim of this sessi
on is to offer a conversational opportunity on the pedagogical considerati
ons of engaging Indigenous Knowledges\, which for many is bundled in deep
assumptions about power\, privilege\, and the complexity of inclusion. \n

DESCRIPTION:Visiting Speaker Dr. Gregory Wheeler\, New University of Lisbon
\, Portugal\n\n'Tracking Confirmation and Association Through Causal Struc
ture'\nMany philosophers of science have argued that a set of evidence tha
t is 'coherent' confirms a hypothesis which explains such coherence. In
this talk\, we examine the relationships between probabilistic models of a
ll three of these concepts: coherence\, confirmation\, and explanation. F
or coherence\, we consider Shogenji's measure of association (deviation fr
om independence). For confirmation\, we consider several measures in the
literature\, and for explanation\, we turn to Causal Bayes Nets and resort
to causal structure and its constraint on probability. All else equal\,
we show that focused correlation (Wheeler 2009)\, which is the ratio of th
e coherence of evidence and the coherence of the evidence conditional on a
hypothesis\, tracks confirmation. We then show that the causal structure
of the evidence and hypothesis can put strong constraints on how coherenc
e in the evidence does or does not translate into confirmation of the hypo
thesis. Our results suggest how to reset the discussion of Bayesian cohere
ntism within formal epistemology\, for once we control for the role that c
ausal structure plays in probabilistic models of coherence\, we can see th
at the impossibility results have a much more limited scope than generally
noted.\n\nBiography:\nGregory Wheeler (PhD Philosophy& Computer Science\
, Rochester) is Senior Research Scientist and Executive Board member of CE
NTRIA\, The Center for Artificial Intelligence Research at the New Univers
ity of Lisbon\, Portugal\, Head of the Formal Epistemology and Logic Group
at CENTRIA\, and (from January 2011) Editor-in-Chief of Minds and Machine

hored with Rolf Haenni\, Jan-Willem Romeyn\, and Jon Williamson\, was publ

DESCRIPTION:Often workshops in Centres like the Gwenna Moss Centre talk abo
ut the importance of focusing on the process of teaching rather than focus
ing on the content of the course. A phrase like 'cover less to uncover mor
e' might be heard in any number of sessions. This workshop will bring the
focus back on the content of your course\, by introducing and exploring a
new idea in the educational literature called threshold concepts. Threshol
d concepts are those concepts (content) that are critically important for
students to master before they can progress in the discipline\, yet often
prove troublesome for a variety of reasons. This session will be aimed at
exploring what some threshold concepts might be across the disciplines\, a
nd in very practical terms exploring what that might mean for you teaching
those concepts.

\n \nWhile every generation laments “The Decline of Parliament\,” Dr.
Gary Levy argues that events during the last three minority Parliaments ha
ve gone beyond decline\, raising questions about whether our Westminster s
tyle Parliamentary Institutions are worthy of the name. In his presentatio
n\, Dr. Levy will argue that following significant reforms of the 1960s\,
various practices and procedures have developed which have undermined some
of the principles that formed the basis of parliamentary government. If t
his is the case\, who is to blame? And what can be done to return Parliame
nt to its rightful place as our most important democratic institution? If
not\, what are the public policy implications of a permanently dysfunction
al Parliament?\n \nDr. Gary Levy has been a longtime student of Parliament
since he was first introduced to the subject during his undergraduate day
s in Saskatchewan by professors like Norman Ward\, David Smith and John Co
urtney. He is also a graduate of Carleton and Laval Universities and has t
aught Political Science at the University of Western Ontario and Ottawa Un
iversity. However\, most of his career has been spent on Parliament Hill\,
first as a researcher with the Library of Parliament\, then as an advisor
to committees on procedural reform in the early 1980s and constitutional
reform during the Meech Lake era. Dr. Levy has been Editor of the Canadian
Parliamentary Review for more than 25 years. He is author of many article
s on parliamentary government in the Review and in other publications.\n

DESCRIPTION:Michael Nickerson\, Ph.D.\, P.Ag.\n\nBiopolymer-based carriers:
nano-sized solutions for promoting healthy foods\n\nFood nanotechnology f
ocuses on the control of food materials or bio-molecules using either a to
p-down or bottom-up approach\, typically at length scales of 1-100 nm in o
ne or more dimension to obtain unique and novel functional attributes. Alt
hough commercial applications have been limited to date\, there exists tre
mendous potential for the use of nano-scale technologies and tools in the
Food and Agriculture sectors to enhance food security\, packaging\, safety
and in the design of disease-treatment/prevention delivery systems. This
seminar will provide an overview of two on-going research initiatives in t
he area of food nanotechnology at the U. of S. aimed at the prevention of
chronic diseases plaguing Canadians\, and discuss future initiatives in th
e area. The first study focuses on developing innovative nanotechnologies
for producing low salt processed foods (e.g.\, cheddar cheese) using biopo
lymer-based carriers to manipulate salt perception such that consumers can
experience the same saltiness but with less salt. Excessive sodium consum
ption via NaCl\, a significant flavour enhancer and preservative\, is a ma
jor factor in developing high blood pressure\, a contributing factor in th
e increase of cardiovascular diseases and stroke\, and positively associat
ed with obesity. Salt reduction in foods is regarded as the most cost-effe
ctive way to reduce hypertension. In the second study\, biopolymer-based n
anoparticles were designed to entrap and release phenolic compounds (e.g.\
, rutin) under simulated gastrointestinal conditions\; to afford a means o
f increasing both their loads and bioavailability in foods. Antioxidants a
ct to protect the body against reactive oxygen and nitrogen species that a
re associated with degenerative diseases\, such as Alzheimer’s\, Parkins
on’s and dementia. Future food nanotechnology interests will also be bri
efly discussed in relation to biopolymer-based delivery carriers (nanopart
icles\, nanotubes\, nanofibers) targeting disease prevention and food safe
ty\, biopolymer-based films and coatings\; and the self-assembly of bio-mo
lecules on the nano-scale to control the macroscopic properties of foods (
e.g.\, gels\, emulsions).\n

DESCRIPTION:Nuria Acevedo\, Ph.D.\nUniversity of Guelph\n\nThe Nanoscale of
Fat Crystal Networks and its Relationship to Functionality\n\nHigh-fat fo
od products such as butter\, ice cream and chocolate achieve their semi-so
lid structure and functionality from the addition of saturated and trans f
ats. However\, since an excessive consumption of saturated and trans fatty
acids is strongly associated with heart and metabolic diseases\, increasi
ng emphasis has been placed on eliminating these unhealthy fats from our d
iets. The removal of saturated and trans fats results in a decrease in the
solid fat content which may\, in turn jeopardize the functional propertie
s of the final product. This has led to a renewed interest in developing a
deeper understanding of the structure and crystallization of fats at diff
erent length scales so as to structure fat-based food materials with less
crystalline material. For the past years most of the research on the struc
ture of fats has been directed towards elucidating the microstructural sca
le within the range scale of 1 to 100m. However the nature and organiza
tion of the nanoscale in fat crystal networks has never been characterized
and no systematic studies have been performed in this area. Thus\, the ai
m of the project was to develop an adequate method for the systematic char
acterization of the nanoscale in fat crystal networks and discuss the arra
ngement/interaction of fat crystals and its consequences on higher structu
ral levels. We also proposed to engineer the functional properties of fat
systems by nano-manipulation via control of crystallization conditions. T
he use of nanoscience to understand the structure in materials and the nan
ostructures induced upon processing will lead to the rational selection of
improved raw materials\, enhanced processing and design of novel foods.

DESCRIPTION:Supratim Ghosh\, Ph.D.\nRyerson University\n\n\nControlling sel
f-assembly and delivery of functionality in foods using nanotechnology\n\n
\nNanotechnology is a powerful tool to control structure formation at mole
cular and atomic level. The physical\, chemical and biological properties
of the nano-scale entities are substantially different than its macro-scal
e counterpart due to interactions of individual atoms or molecules and the
enormous increase in surface to volume ratio which promotes reactivity an
d offers unique and novel properties of foods. For example\, it was shown
that solid lipid nanoparticles with large interfacial area can absorb sign
ificant higher amount of aroma compounds compared to similar microparticle
s thereby influencing overall thermodynamics and kinetics of aroma release
from oil-in-water emulsions. The proposed research program in food nanote
chnology will address both fundamental molecular level understanding of se
lf-assembly at the interface and the development of novel functional nano-
materials for improved bioavailability of healthy food ingredients. \nOne
of the biggest challenges faced by the food science community is the deliv
ery of zero-trans and low saturated fat products with similar texture and
functionality as their regular-fat counterparts. Although research activit
ies in this field have shown that it is possible to implement alternative
structure-forming strategies in bulk fats via additives such as edible wax
\, phytosterols\, fatty acids\, etc.\, many of these approaches are not su
ccessful in dispersed systems such as emulsions and foams. In this regard\
, the presence of the interface in emulsions and foams provides a further
challenge for structuring foods. Various tools of nanotechnology (e.g. mic
ro-beam X-ray\, Synchrotron IR spectromicroscopy) will be used to understa
nd the mechanisms of structure formation in food emulsions and foams and h
ow the nanostructure of the interface might be modified through the intera
ctions between surfactants\, fat crystals and other additives. \nIn the re
cent years development of functional foods containing bio-actives with add
itional health benefits have become increasingly popular due to rising hea
lth care cost and changing needs of aging population. The challenges are t
o provide stability of the bioactive components during processing and stor
age\, improved sensory properties during food consumption and at the same
time release of active ingredients to the right place at the right time in
the human body. The proposed research program will address these problems
in a comprehensive and collaborative research approach beginning with the
development of multifunctional bio-based nano- and micro-structures and f
inally evaluate the effectiveness of the controlled release matrices for d
elivery of active components using in-vitro and in-vivo studies.\n\n

for the energy challenges of the 21st century? \n \nThis conference is ai

m Board documentaries on Thursday\, March 3 at 7 p.m. in Room G3.\n\nTagge
d: How Privacy Became a Commodity is a documentary about a hipster who imp
lanted himself with an RFD chip. Tagged is playful\, smart and engaging\,
stealthily tapping into the sense of deep unease that lurks beneath its su
bject's surface. Is it 'hip to be chipped\,' as a proposed Verichip market
ing slogan claimed\, or could a wave of the hand unlock not just the door
to your home?\n\nChildren of Soldiers - At an age when they should be curi
ous and carefree\, the children of Canadian Forces Base Petawawa are often
faced with grim reality. Day in-day out\, they must deal with absence\, a
n uncertain future and the looming perspective of death. But in a tight-kn
it military community\, spontaneous expressions of anxiety\, sadness or re
sentment are taboo.\nShot over the course of an entire troop deployment to
Afghanistan\, this moving film lifts the veil on a reality shared by thou
sands of young Canadians.

nd Human Development at the University of British Columbia. \n\nHertzman's
lecture\, 'Are we the people we need to be? Early human development and t
he challenges of the 21st century\,' will examine how we can face the twin
challenges of shrinking our ecological footprint and supporting the earli
est stages of development for human beings. Hertzman argues that there is
a huge gap between what Canadians know about these issues\, and what we\,
as a society\, are doing about them. This presentation will make the case
for the significance of these twin challenges and explore the barriers in
Canadian society that need to be overcome in order to meet them.

DESCRIPTION:This lecture will take place in Regina and will be video-confer
enced to a Saskatoon audience\n\nPresented by Sara Allin\, Assistant Profe
ssor (Status Only) School of Public Policy and Governance\, University of
Toronto\n\nCanadians have a long-held belief that health care should be di
stributed equitably. What equity means conceptually and how it can be meas
ured empirically are far from straightforward. In her presentation\, Dr. S
ara Allin will discuss the definition and measurement of equity in health
care. She will then present some results of empirical research that addres
ses the questions of whether and why there are inequities in the system in
order to offer some insight into policy options to reduce inequity.\n \nS
ara Allin\, PhD is an Assistant Professor (status only) at the School of P
ublic Policy and Governance\, University of Toronto\, an Affiliate Scienti
st at the Centre for Research on Inner City Health\, St Michael’s Hospit
al and a Senior Researcher at the Canadian Institute for Health Informatio

cy\, with a focus on equity in access to health care. She completed her Ph
D in Social Policy in January 2009 which examined aspects of equity in Can

Tribunals\, often called the Cousins of the Court\, exist at both the fed

Justice” in response to the federal government’s removal of Ms. Linda
Keen as the President of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. In her le

DESCRIPTION:Please join us for 3 days (May 2\, May 4\, & May 6)of workshops
to explore the theme of risk in teaching and learning. Some of the themes
explored will include: confronting risk and fear as obstacles to effectiv
e teaching and learning\; the consequences of NOT taking risks\; how risk
and fear relate to creativity\; how risk and fear shape student experience
.\n\nParticipants are encouraged to register for and attend all three sess
ions\, as they are connected and have been designed to address the topic i
n depth.\n\nDay 1 : naming risk\n\nNaming risk is not bungee jumping for t
eaching and learning to scare ourselves. Naming risk paradoxically can red
uce fear. Naming risk is calling out private troubles into public\, shared
space so that we see the contours of our inner landscape as teachers. How
can finding out we are not alone in experiencing risk in teaching make a
difference? Parker Palmer is a guide for making space for teaching from th
e inside out\, 'walking into' risk and fear\, allowing us to hear ourselve
s and others.\n\n

DESCRIPTION:This is Day 2 of a 3 part series:\n\nTaming Risk:\n\nTaming ris
k is not beating down risk and ourselves into submission. Taming risk is h
earing the risk that we\, students and teachers\, experience so we can col
laboratively construct safe and challenging social space conducive to deep
learning. Taming risk is also about challenging educational practices tha
t harm students. Ken Bain is a guide to the practices and beliefs of teach
ers who figured out how we learn\, unlearn\, and don't learn through 'expe
ctation failures' and questions. Bain names such a learning space 'a natur
al critical learning environment.'\n\nPeople learn best and most deeply wh
en they try to answer questions or solve problems they find interesting\,
intriguing\, important\, or beautiful\; when they can try to answer the qu
estion or solve the problems then receive feedback and try again before an
yone 'grades' them on their efforts\; when they can work collaboratively w
ith other learners struggling with the same problems\; when they believe t
hat they are in control of their own learning\, not manipulated.\n- Ken Ba
in\nFacilitators will be John Thompson and Trisha Dowling\n

DESCRIPTION:(The Third Integrated Plan: Areas of Focus As of January 15\, 2
011).\nBlock Tuesday\, May 3rd on your calendar as your day to learn more
about supporting Aboriginal engagement through discussion\, presentations\
, and practical ideas for instructional practices that are reflective and
respectful of Indigenous Ways of Knowing. Plan on spending the day at Wanu
skewin. Lunch is provided. Participants must arrange for their own transpo
rtation to Wanuskewin.\n\nContact sheryl.mills@usask.ca (5867) for more in
formation.\nThe Morning (09:30-12:00)\nWANUSKEWIN\n\nDr. Winona Wheeler\,
Department Head of Native Studies\, and Dr. Maria Campbell\, celebrated au
thor and social activist\, will guide us through a construction and decons
truction of change over time using a Circle Teachings and Colonialism mode
l.\nThe Afternoon (1:30-4:00)\nWANUSKEWIN\n\nJoin Jeff Baker and Sheryl Mi
lls for a practical and purposeful afternoon of incorporating Indigenous w
ays of knowing and learning through teaching methods. Some scholars indica
te that there are similarities between relational\, holistic\, and oral In
digenous learning approaches and instructional practices like reflection\,
dialogue\, experiential learning\, and active learning. From this broad s
pectrum\, this afternoon will focus on cooperative learning\, reflection\,
and holism through multiple intelligences. Not only will you learn about
these methods\, you will experience them as well.\n\nWe encourage particip
ants to register for and attend the entire day\, but if you are only able
to attend morning or afternoon\, you can register for these separately - p
lease note that lunch will not be provided.\n\nPlease check our calendar o

DESCRIPTION:How faculty approach graduate supervision is an area of faculty
responsibility that is often very personal and rarely discussed with coll
eagues. Even more than other aspects of our teaching practice\, our own pe
rsonal experiences with graduate supervision during our graduate work (bot
h positive and negative) often directly influence how we approach the supe
rvision of our graduate students (Manathunga\, 2005). And rarely is our su
pervisory practice informed by the quite substantial (and growing) researc
h literature on effective practices in graduate supervision and mentorship
. This workshop will introduce participants to the literature on effective
strategies to mentor graduate students and\, in particular\, to a model o
f adaptive mentorship (Walker and Ralph\, 2009) that can help to frame ind
ividual approaches to graduate supervision and mentorship.\n\nThose regist
ering this workshop are also encouraged to attend the afternoon panel disc
ussion on graduate student supervision. \n\n

DESCRIPTION:Participants are encouraged to register for and attend all thre
e sessions\, as they are connected and have been designed to address the t
opic in depth. \n\nDay 3: reframing risk\n\nReframing risk is not fencing
in risk or ourselves. Reframing risk means enlarging the space for learni
ng by changing the way we look at risk. Inescapable and opportunity. Refra
ming risk means making conversational spaces – time and attention – th
at connect us as teachers and students. Reframing risk means seeing possib
ilities. Ken Robinson is a guide for challenging us to encourage and suppo
rt risk-taking to evoke creativity and find our passion. Robinson shifts t
he focus from uneasiness about 'How intelligent am I?' to asking appreciat
ively 'How are we intelligent?' What price do we pay for not risking to be
come more than we are – as teachers and students? How can we make such s
paces with each other?\n\nNow\, I don't mean to say that being wrong is th
e same thing as being creative. What we do know is\, if you're not prepare
d to be wrong\, you'll never come up with anything original. If you're not
prepared to be wrong. And by the time they get to be adults\, most kids h
ave lost that capacity. They have become frightened of being wrong. And we
run our companies like this\, by the way. We stigmatize mistakes. And we'
re now running national education systems where mistakes are the worst thi
ng you can make. And the result is that we are educating people out of the
ir creative capacities.\n\n- Sir Ken Robinson\n\n

DESCRIPTION:Members of the university community are invited to be involved
as non-presenting participants in a workshop titled\, “Religious Encount
er and Exchange in Aboriginal Canada.”\n\nRecent public discussions abou
t the history of residential schools in Canada are a stark reminder of rel
igion’s central role in Canadian Aboriginal history. This history was no
t simple or straightforward\, nor is it over. Existing historiography on r
eligion in Aboriginal Canada has examined the history of residential schoo
ls and considered Christian missionaries as colonial agents of assimilatio
n and change. However\, significantly less has been said about Aboriginal
roles and perspectives on religious encounters and the ways in which spiri
tual\, as well as material and political\, forces contributed to religious
exchange and transformations. This is all the more striking in view of ri
ch literatures in other (post)colonial contexts like Africa\, China\, and
India\, where religion has long figured as a central category of analysis.
This three-day interdisciplinary workshop\, to be held 12-14 May 2011\, w
ill\, for the first time\, bring together established and emerging scholar
s from across North America to address this gap. By giving participants a
venue to present their original research and share it with other experts\,
the workshop will establish a baseline of knowledge for a new and vigorou
s debate about the role of “religious encounter” in scholarship about
Aboriginal Canada.\n\nThe major contribution of the workshop is its emphas
is on the place of Aboriginal people as central actors and agents in relig
ious encounters. Sharing this focus on Aboriginal perspectives\, presenter
s will explore a range of issues including the spiritual\, social\, cultur
al\, material\, and political practices and perspectives that were produce

encounter can contribute to our understanding of Canadian Aboriginal histo

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Jeremy Morgan\, Diefenbaker Policy Fellow Johnson-
Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy\n\nThe state of cultural policy i
n Canada raises important questions about the future of\npublic support fo
r Aboriginal arts and culture while pointing to several issues that\ncan b
e applied to cultural development as a whole. At a time when policy emphas
is\nappears to have shifted from culture’s educational importance to its
commercial\npotential and from creativity in the arts to participation\,
public funding policy is\nchallenged to address the unique importance of t
he creative expression of Aboriginal\npeoples. In his presentation\, Jerem
y Morgan will explore current policy approaches\nand the possibilities of
a new framework for developing policy in this area.\n\nRegistration:\nThos

DESCRIPTION:Youth Offending in Canada - Principles\, Policies & Politics:\n
A Case study of ideologically driven Tory Law ’n Order agenda\n\nPresent
ed by Professor Nicholas Bala\nFaculty of Law\, Queen’s University\n\nPl
ease note: This lecture will take place in Regina and will be video-confer
enced to a Saskatoon audience.\nConcerns about the ‘decline of youth’
have long been part of social history\, but it is only in the past quarter
century that youth justice law has become a partisan issue in Canada\, wi
th Conservative politicians advocating a ‘get tough on teen crime’ app
roach. This ‘law ‘n order agenda’ is politically and ideologically m
otivated\, but expensive and contrary to social science research and views
of most youth justice professionals about measures needed to foster a saf
er society and reduce youth crime. Conservative rhetoric regarding the Can
ada’s youth justice law (YCJA) has not changed over the past 5 years\, b
ut the present proposals (Bill C-10) are less punitive than those proposed
earlier. Unlike for adult offenders\, there are no proposals that create
mandatory minimums and the ultimate effect of these changes will depend on
how they are interpreted by the youth courts. However\, all of the costs
of increased youth incarceration will be borne by the provinces. \n\nNicho
las Bala has been a Professor at the Faculty of Law at Queen’s Universit
y since 1980. Most of his teaching and writing has been on family and chil
dren’s law\, with research focusing on issues related to youth off endin
g\, parental rights and responsibilities after divorce\, spousal abuse\, c
hild witnesses and child abuse. Much of his work is interdisciplinary and
he has undertaken collaborative projects with criminologists\, psychologis
ts\, social workers and health professionals. His work has been cited by a
ll levels of court in Canada\, including the Supreme Court of Canada and t
he Saskatchewan Court of Appeal\, as well as by courts in the United Kingd
om and the USA. He frequently presents at academic conferences and is ofte
n in the media. A week ago\, he was a witness at the House of Commons Comm
ittee dealing with amendments to the Youth Criminal Justice Act (Bill C-10
).\n\n\n\n

DESCRIPTION:The ecosphere is a ‘far-from-equilibrium’ structure of ecos
ystems\, human systems\, combined systems and subsystems\, all of which ex
ist in an overlapping\, interconnected hierarchical structure called a ‘
panarchy’. Most subsystems within the panarchy are characterized by repe
titive cycles of growth\, accumulation\, collapse and renewal. \n\nThe sus
tainability of the human enterprise on an increasingly crowded and resourc
e-stressed planet is dependent on the ‘resilience’ of critical socio-e
cological systems. This presentation evaluates the relevance of ecological
economics to enhancing societal resilience in an era of accelerating glob
al change.\n\nWilliam Rees is an internationally renowned researcher\, aut
hor and public speaker\, best known for originating the concept of the ‘
ecological footprint’. \nProfessor Rees has been teaching at the Univers
ity of British Columbia’s School of Community and Regional Planning (SCA
RP) since 1969\, where he founded the school’s ‘Environment and Resour
ce Planning’ concentration.\n\nThose interested in attending are encoura

ated Métis Elder and author.\n\nMaria and Winona use the symbol of the Ci

eoples' traditional ways of living to the impacts of early contact\, throu
gh colonial and neocolonial eras\, and finally to the regenerative period
of decolonization. \n\nTheir combined scholarly knowledge and willingness
to share stories from their own families' experiences make this a presenta
tion not to be missed. \n\nThis session is the first in the 'Wâskamisiwin
' (Plains Cree for 'growing in awareness') series organized collaborativel
y by The Gwenna Moss Centre\, the College of Education\, the College of Me

DESCRIPTION:Schooling the World: The White Man's Last Burden is a 2010 docu
mentary film directed by Carol Black about 'the role played by modern educ
ation in the destruction of the world's last sustainable indigenous cultur
es.' \n\nThis controversial documentary film examines the effects of impos
ing western/ European ways of knowing upon the traditional Buddhist cultur
e of Ladakh in the northern Indian Himalayas. \n\nIt is a film\, in the wo
rds of Bill Bigelow (Rethinking Schools)\, that 'every teacher and prospec
tive teacher should watch and discuss.' \n\nThis event is meant to be a ve
nue where we can express our ideas with each other about modern education
around the world\, what it means\, and the paths we would like to see educ
ation take in the future. The seeds of change within our university begin
with the conversations that students\, faculty\, staff and administrators
have with one another to reflect on the meaning of education within our ow
n and different cultures.\n\nCome and share your views as a student\, educ
ator\, or administrator in the discussion that will follow the screening o
f the film. \n\nFor more information on Schooling the World see: http://sc

s\,\nProfessors of Economics\, Dalhousie University\n\nEconomics\, as a di
scipline\, has tended to ignore children. Where attention has been paid\,
it has focussed on ‘investing in children’ to secure better future out
comes. \n\nWhile future outcomes are extremely important\, we should not n
eglect the study of children’s well-being now\, while they are children.
\n\nIn this lecture\, Burton and Phipps will look\nat changes over time i
n family-level economic resources\, concentrating on growing parental time
-crunch and stagnating average family incomes. \n\nThey will examine links
between family-level resources and the self-reported happiness of Canadia
n children and conclude with a discussion of economic policies to improve
child well-being.\n \nPeter Burton is a Professor of Economics at Dalhousi
e University. He received a BA (Honours) in Biology and Economics from the
University of Saskatchewan in 1983\, an MA (1984) and then a PhD in Econo
mics from the University of British Columbia in 1989. Past research has in
cluded work on environmental decision-making\, the economic vulnerability
of Canadian families with children in terms of time as well as money and o
n families of children with disabilities.\n \nShelley Phipps is Maxwell Pr
ofessor of Economics at Dalhousie University\, and a fellow of the Canadia
n Institute for Advanced Research. She received a BA (Honours) in Economic
s from the University of Victoria in 1981\, an MA (1982) and then a PhD fr
om the University of British Columbia in 1997. Past research has focused o

k\, 2nd Edition \n(Cambridge University Press)\n\nWednesday\, November 30\
, 7:30pm\, Art Alcove\, McNally Robinson Bookselllers\n\nGreen plants are
all around us. We are dependent on them for food\, we cultivate them for o
ur pleasure\, and we have used them in numberless ways down the centuries
to our advantage. But have you ever wondered how plants work? Where do tre
es get the material to make wood? Why are flowers different colors and why
do they smell? How do plants tell time and measure the seasons? From thei
r ability to use energy from sunlight to make their own food to withstandi
ng the stresses of constant exposure to the environment to combating attac
ks from diseases and predators\, plants have evolved an amazing range of l
ife-sustaining\, death-defying strategies.\nToday\, they face additional p
roblems created by human activities such as global warming\, pollution of
land\, water\, and air\, and increasing ocean acidity. \n\nJohn King expla
ins how\, despite the challenges posed by growing environmental perils\, p
lants continue to dominate our planet\, and why the earth is green.\n\nKin
g's narrative provides a highly readable introduction to the unique world
of plants for student and layperson alike\, with boxes in each chapter off
ering additional or more advanced material for readers seeking more detail
.\n\nJohn King is also the author of The Genetic Basis of Plant Physiologi
cal Processes (Oxford University Press\, 1991). He was a professor in the
Department of Biology at the University of Saskatchewan\, 1967-2003\, and
Head of the Department from 1981-1987.\n

DESCRIPTION:AUTHORITY\, OBEDIENCE\, AND RESPECT FOR THE LAW\n\nThe law can
secure obedience by various means\, including threat of punishment\, and (
more ideally) by gaining the respect of its subjects. The former implies o
nly power\, and not all power is legitimately authoritative. The latter ra
ises an obvious question: What kinds of reasons might we have to respect t
he law? I will argue that authority is not an all or nothing matter\; rat
her\, the extent to which it is legitimate varies with the particular situ
ations of those subject to it.\n\nBy Professor Mark Capustin

DESCRIPTION:In the past five to ten years\, there has been a major paradigm
shift in the sorts of algorithms used to play classical games of mental s
kill. Domains which have traditionally been resistant to the approaches
that have worked so well in games like chess and checkers --- examples inc
lude go\, poker and various trick-taking card games --- have now seen the
appearance of serious computer contenders. I will broadly review these tr
ends\, before discussing in greater detail the challenge of opponent model
ling in imperfect information games such as poker and a German card game c
alled Skat. In the context of this latter game\, I will highlight our wor
k in creating one of the world's first game-playing programs that can adap
tively exploit individual \nopponents in real time.\n\nAbout the Speaker\n
Dr. Jeffrey Long received his Bachelor of Science at the University of Sas
katchewan in 2003\, and stayed on to complete his M.Sc. under the supervis
ion of Dr. Michael Horsch. He has since spent the past five years at the
University of Alberta in the Artificial Intelligence and Games research gr
oup under the supervision of Dr. Michael Buro\, creating the world's stron
gest computer player for the popular German card game Skat. He obtained h
is doctorate in the summer of 2011 and is now in search of some work (alth
ough he would really rather still be playing games).\n\n

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Nazmi Sari\nAssociate Professor\, Department of Ec
onomics\, University of Saskatchewan\nRecent epidemiological literature sh
ows that regular physical activity is effective in preventing several chro
nic diseases\, and is associated with a reduced risk of premature death.
In an effort to estimate the impact of physical activity on demand for hos
pital services\, previous studies use cross sectional data sets. In his p
resentation\, Dr. Sari will present research using a panel data set from C
anada and panel data regression models to address potential bias in cross
sectional studies due to factors that cannot be controlled in a cross sect
ional design. The research shows the association between physical activit
y and demand for hospital services by chronic diseases.\n\nNazmi Sari is a
n associate professor in the Department of Economics at the University of
Saskatchewan. He received his Ph.D. in economics from Boston University i
n 2001. Before joining the University of Saskatchewan in 2004\, he taught
at Florida International University. Dr. Sari is a health economist with
specific research interest in quality and efficiency issues in hospital m
arkets\; provider reimbursements and healthcare financing reforms\; and ec
onomics of smoking and physical activity. His research has been published
in economics\, health economics\, health policy and medical sciences jour
nals\, and has been supported by several funding agencies including the Ca
nadian Institute of Health Research\, Saskatchewan Health Research Foundat

Nature and Public Policy: Behavioral Foundations and Policy Studies\n \nPr
esented by Bryan Jones\nProfessor & J. J. “Jake” Pickle Regents Chair
in Congressional Studies\, Department of Government\, University of Texas
at Austin\nHuman nature is the raw material from which public policies are
built. Without a proper understanding of the basics of human cognitive ar
chitectures\, even the most sophisticated model of policy processes will f
ail. Moreover\, without this understanding\, policy designs will be flawed
. For the most part\, major approaches to public policy processes have ado
pted a model of human nature based in Herb Simon’s concepts of bounded a
nd behavioral rationalities. In his lecture\, Bryan Jones will explore the
development of these connections\, and show how these connections have in
fluenced the development of policy studies. In addition\, he will briefly
explore their implications for policy design.\n \nBryan Jones is J.J. “J
ake” Pickle Regent’s Chair in Congressional Studies at the University
of Texas at Austin\, and Director of the Policy Agendas Project. \nHis res
earch centres on American public policy processes\, including agenda-setti
ng and decision-making. He is author or co-author of ten books\, including
Agendas and Instability in American Politics (with Frank Baumgartner)\, a
nd The Politics of Bad Ideas (with Walter Williams). He previously held po

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Kjell Anderson\nSpecial Advisor\, International As
sociation of Genocide Scholars\n\nIf genocide can be understood it can be
stopped. Genocide is driven by state authority and individual conformity b
ut it is also made possible by the degraded status of the victims and the
rationalisations of the perpetrators. Ultimately\, the dignity and humanit
y of victims is a barrier to genocidal killing. The realisation of human r
ights is fundamentally about the recognition of human dignity\, thus the r
ealisation of rights itself prevents genocide. However\, in order to preve
nt genocide we must also recognise the humanity of the perpetrators\; as d
iffi cult as this may seem we must recognise something of ourselves in the
perpetrators. Most perpetrators operate within a context of bounded ratio
nality\, thus by making participation in genocide more diffi cult\, the li
kelihood of perpetration should decrease.\n\nKjell Anderson has carried ou
t human rights work in Rwanda\, Burundi\, Uganda\, the Democratic Republic
of Congo\, India\, Bangladesh\, Cambodia\, Fiji\, New Caledonia\, and Bos
nia. He has also given numerous public seminars for institutions such as t
he Rwandan National Police and the Netherlands Institute for Human Rights.
In his capacity as a program coordinator for Rwandan non-government organ
ization FACT-Rwanda he assisted victims of torture and sexual violence in
Rwanda\, Burundi\, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.\nHe has also lect
ured in the MA in Genocide Studies and Prevention program at the National
University of Rwanda and is currently a member of the advisory board of th
e International Association of Genocide Scholars. Anderson is a graduate o
f the International Studies program at the University of Saskatchewan\; he
also holds an MA degree in International Aff airs from Carleton Universit
y\, an LLM in International Human Rights Law from Utrecht University\, and
a PhD in International Human Rights law from the National University of I
reland.\n\nRegistration:\nThose interested in attending are encouraged to

DESCRIPTION:In his lecture\, Dr. Konstantinos Giannakas will develop a mode
l of heterogeneous consumer preferences and imperfectly competitive suppli
ers to analyze the market and welfare effects of purity standards for non-
genetically modified (GM) food products. Dr. Giannakas will show that puri
ty standards affect the equilibrium prices and quantities of both the GM a
nd non-GM products as well as the welfare of the groups involved. He will
demonstrate that a change in purity standards creates winners and losers a
mong the consumers and the suppliers of the GM and non-GM products. His an
alysis provides insights on labeling policies and the position of interest
groups in countries with different adoption of and attitudes towards GM p
roducts.\n\nThose interested in attending are encouraged to register onlin

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Christine Wörlen\nFormer Head of Renewable Energi
es\, German Energy Agency\n\nIn the last 20 years\, a number of interestin
g developments have changed the German energy sector. A long-standing supp
ort scheme for small scale renewable energy has unleashed a renewable ener
gy boom in the country that turned a garage industry into a first-class jo
b engine. Resource-poor Germany has built a strong export sector on this t
echnological specialty and provides 16% of its electricity from renewable
energy sources. Interesting local initiatives support the renewables boom\
, which in turn provides new opportunities for local economic growth. Rene
wable energy is also part of the country’s plans for compliance to its i
nternational commitments on climate change. On the other hand\, as nuclear
power is phased out the need for investment and a clear vision of the Ger
man energy future increases. Dr. Wörlen’s talk describes the history an
d the logic of the surprising success story of renewable energy and German
y’s commitment to climate protection\, and discusses some of the new cha
llenges for the German energy sector.\n\nDr. Christine Wörlen is an inter
nationally renowned expert in the area of renewable energy policies and en
ergy systems integration as well as economic impact of renewable energy de
ployment. Her main area of expertise is the design and evaluation of proje
cts and programs for sustainable energy policy as well as for the integrat
ion of renewable electricity. International activities brought her to all
regions of the World\, for example to China\, Thailand\, India\, South Afr
ica\, Western Africa\, USA\, Canada und Mexico.\n\nJSGS Lecture Series:\nT
his event is part of a lecture series organized by the Johnson-Shoyama Gra
duate School of Public Policy (JSGS) and is in conjunction with the Univer
sity of Saskatchewan International Office and the German-Canadian Centre f
or Innovation and Research (GCCIR).\n\nRegistration:\nIf you are intereste

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Gary Teare\, Director\, Quality Measurement and An
alysis\, Health\nQuality Council\; Adjunct Professor\, School of Public He
alth and Department of\nCommunity Health and Epidemiology\, University of
Saskatchewan\n\nThe science of doing quality improvement in health care is
built upon the accumulated\nlearning of decades of research in many field
s of science including medical\, social\,\nengineering\, educational and p
sychological sciences. The science of studying the\nimplementation of qual
ity improvement\, to produce generalizable knowledge to\nfacilitate more r
apid spread of effective interventions to improve health care\, is relativ
ely young. This presentation will begin with an overview of the emerging f
ield of quality improvement research and then illustrate how a multi-disci
plinary research team is practicing and contributing to that field here in
Saskatchewan – in studying the impact of a nurse-led quality improvemen
t initiative in hospitals called Releasing Time to Care™.\n\nRegistratio

DESCRIPTION:The Department of Computer Science presents Blurring Boundaries

t of Computer Science at the University of Manitoba.\n\nThis event is join
tly sponsored by the President's Diversity Enhancement Fund and the Role M
odel Speaker Fund of the College of Arts and Science.\n\nAbstract: Digita
l environments\, such as desktop computers\, mobile devices and large surf
aces depend on input mechanisms to engage user interaction. A key property
of input devices is the mode under which they operate. For example\, the
mouse is an indirect input device that allows one to position a desktop cu
rsor with relative displacements of the device. A tablet pen facilitates d
irect input and relies on absolute positioning to control the virtual curs
or. Recently\, researchers have recognized the need to transcend beyond su
ch rigid definitions for effective interactions in novel environments. \n

DESCRIPTION:Applications of Operations Research in the Health Care Sector\n
\nPresented by Sonia Vanderby\, Assistant Professor\, College of Medicine
and Department of Mechanical Engineering\, University of Saskatchewan\n\nB
alancing the supply of and demand for health care resources to ensure appr
opriate provision amid financial constraints is an ongoing struggle. \n\n
With demand expected to increase in the future due to a population that is
aging\, growing and increasingly at risk for chronic diseases\, the need
to plan for the future is increasing\, yet there is still great uncertaint
y about the resources required to meet demand. \n\nThis lecture will also
examine some examples of how operations research tools have been applied
to address such challenges\, and will also touch on future research direct
ions.\n

DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nPlace-based policy in economic development is both u
biquitous and widely criticized. \n\nThe conventional economic case agains
t place-targeted interventions is strong\, relegating its application to a
narrow range of cases of immobile labor resources\, market imperfections
and/or other externalities. \n\nPeople-based approaches such as education
and health policies to improve productivity are preferred. 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

Wilson Centre for Entrepreneurial Excellence are pleased to host:\n\nA Dia
logue With Author David Seymour\n\nProsperity of historic proportion await
s Canada's heartland . . . if Saskatchewan makes the right moves.\n\nSaska
tchewan\, Canada's Prairie heartland\, stands on the cusp of a Golden Age.
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

DESCRIPTION:A Programmable\, Object-Oriented Graphic User Interface Abstrac
t Brian Fristensky\, Associate Professor\, Department of Plant Science\, U
niversity of Manitoba Object-oriented (OO) concepts are built into most mo
dern programming languages and databases. \n\nBioLegato brings OO concepts
to the laboratory biologist. 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. By analogy\, BioLegato c
an be thought of as a generic Object class\, which can be reused and exten
ded. \n\n

.\n\n\nMost of what influences our health comes from outside the health ca
re system. There is growing recognition that the well-being of communities
depends on numerous actors operating in myriad environments. Using a popu
lation health framework this study examines the determinants of health bei
ng addressed by community-based social service organizations working with
marginalized populations in Regina. \n\nUsing a semi-structured on-line su
rvey\, data were collected about the determinants of health priorized by t
hese organizations\, who benefi ts\, how this work is undertaken\, who the
ir partners are\, and how they are funded.\n\nDr. Gloria DeSantis is a Res
earch Associate in the area of socio-health at SPHERU. \nIn recognition of
her innovative work in this area\, the Saskatchewan Health Research Found
ation awarded Gloria the “Top Researcher Award” in 2008. Her interest
in the field of socio-health is a result of her 20 years of work and volun
teering in the non-profit social service sector wherein she facilitated pa
rticipatory action research\, program planning and public policy developme
nt.\n\nThose interested in attending are encouraged to register online at

nar\n\nJANNIE WING-SEA LEUNG MSC\, DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY HEALTH AND EPID
EMIOLOGY\nUNIVERSITY OF SASKATCHEWAN\n\nIn the global coffee industry\, sm
all-scale farmers provide the bulk of the productive labour yet receive th
e smallest portion\nof the profits. Fair Trade co-operatives aim to suppor
t and strengthen farmer communities\, valuing their labour and products mo
re fairly while promoting democratic and equitable societies. Although evi
dence shows that Fair Trade co-ops are improving the livelihoods of\nsmall
-scale farmers\, women have been largely absent from these discussions. \n
This seminar examines gender equity in PROCOCER\, a Fair Trade coffee co-o
perative in\nNicaragua. Interviews with women producers\, co-op leaders\,
and gender specialists\nsuggest that the co-op has a role in promoting gen
der equity not only at the\norganizational level\, but in the member famil
ies as well. The study resulted in the\ndevelopment of a series of indicat
ors — evaluation tools that support PROCOCER’s\nendeavours to consiste
ntly plan\, implement\, and sustain actions to improve gender\nequity. The
participatory process of developing these indicators also high \nlighted
the need for continued efforts to develop a critical awareness and organiz
ational\nresponse to gender inequities in the \nco-operative\, particularl
y in providing\nspaces for women to define their own evaluation tools.\n

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Iryna Kryvoruchko\, McMaster University\n\nFoundat
ion giving together with private giving can achieve extraordinary results
as seen by the near eradication of polio. \nFoundations in Canada are taki
ng a more active role in supporting charitable activities. Grants by found
ations may convey information to individuals about charity quality and the
reby influence individuals’ decisions to give. \nThis lecture presents a
n empirical analysis of how foundation grants affect private donations usi
ng a unique dataset on social welfare and community charities from 1997 to
2007. Empirical findings suggest that private donors increase their contr
ibutions on average by $2 in response to an additional dollar of foundatio
n giving.\n\nIryna Kryvoruchko is completing her final year of PhD in Econ
omics at McMaster University. Her research interests are in applied micro
economics\, public finance\, economics of charities and taxation. \nPrior
to her doctoral studies\, Iryna worked as a federal-provincial fiscal rela

DESCRIPTION:The Indian Act\, which was passed in 1876 and still exists\, wa
s intended to govern most aspects of the relationship between the Crown an
d First Nations. For western First Nations who had just signed treaties wi
th the Crown\, the imposition of the Act was a betrayal of what they under
stood they had been promised in treaty negotiations. Worse was to come\, t
hough. Over time\, the Act was modified to make it more coercive and inter
fering\, covering such matters as schooling\, governance\, spiritual and c
ultural observances\, personal mobility\, and even agricultural activities
. The pernicious environment that the Indian Act created\, and still in mo
dified form maintains\, is an important cause of the dysfunctional relatio
nship between First Nations and the federal government in the twenty-first
century. \n\nPlease register for this event at http://www.usask.ca/gmcte/

DESCRIPTION:Revealing the core of teaching philosophy is the key to a conci
se and meaningful teaching philosophy statement\, but it can be an elusive
goal. \n\nThis first workshop in a three-part series offers participants
the opportunity to learn a process called 'mystery montage' to cover the c
ore of their teaching philosophy and to expand their horizons within a mor
e holistic context. \n\nUsing visual mapping\, storyboarding\, and collage
\, participants will be asked to actively engage in this session by creati
ng a mystery montage from a collection of materials provided by the facili
tators.\n\nFor information on Parts II and III of this series\, please vis
it the link below. \n\nhttp://www.usask.ca/gmcte/events/shortcourses \n\nR

DESCRIPTION:Experiential learning is gaining in popularity as an effective
pedagogical technique\, yet there are a variety of ways to build experient
ial learning into the classroom. One such way is through the use of decept
ion\, which remains highly controversial. However\, students often bring w
ith them deeply held assumptions that first must be challenged in order to
create room for critical analysis of a topic\, particularly when the subj
ect matter itself is controversial. This interactive workshop will explore
one faculty member's use of deception in the classroom at both the gradua
te and undergraduate levels. Participants will explore the ethics of decep
tion as a teaching pedagogy\, the conditions under which it may or may not
be considered appropriate\, and the essential components that mitigate th
e risks and concerns associated with its use for both the students and the
faculty member. \n\nRegister for this event at http://www.usask.ca/gmcte/

DESCRIPTION:THE SPIRITUALITY OF JANE AUSTEN\n\n“‘A clergyman is nothing
!’” scoffs Mary Crawford in Mansfield Park when she discovers to her d
ismay that Edmund Bertram\, the man she is pursuing\, is destined for the
church. \n\nAlthough the Bible rarely makes an appearance and few of her c
haracters attend worship\, Jane Austen’s novels are nevertheless replete
with clergy\, both pompous and sincere. \n\nWith close familial connectio
ns to the Church of England\, Austen used her insider’s vantage point to
cast a critical eye on both church and society while demonstrating the sp
iritual influence of the much maligned but highly popular novel. \n\nThis
illustrated talk argues that spirituality in Austen’s novels is neither
pious nor prescriptive\; rather\, the novels derive their force from a spi
rited debate about conduct which\, according to Edmund\, is the province o
f the clergy.\n\n

DESCRIPTION:Validation of Administrative Data Diagnoses of Chronic Childhoo
d Arthritis in Saskatchewan\n\nPresented by Dr. Natalie Shiff MD\, MHSc\,
FRCPC\; College of Medicine - Pediatrics\, University of Saskatchewan\n\nT
his seminar will discuss a research project investigating the validity of
diagnoses for chronic childhood arthritis in administrative health databas
es from Saskatchewan. \nChronic childhood arthritis\, also known as juven
ile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) or juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA)\, is
a chronic inflammatory condition that begins by age 16. \nIt can adverse
ly affect growth and development\, compromise current and future quality o
f life and productivity\, and confer long-term burdens on the child\, fami
ly and health care system. \nTo date there has been only one Canadian stu
dy that has used administrative health databases to study children with ch
ronic arthritis. This study identified patients with JRA using a case def
inition originally developed for adult cases of rheumatoid arthritis and w
hich has never been validated in a pediatric population. \nA validation s
tudy is essential because childhood chronic arthritides including JRA are
distinct clinical entities from \nrheumatoid arthritis in the adult popula
tion.\n\nThose interested in attending are encouraged to register online a

DESCRIPTION:Kawaskimhon 2012 Information\nNational Aboriginal Rights Moot
\nMarch 3-4\, 2012\nOpening Reception: March 2\, 2012\n\nCollege of Law an
d Native Law Centre\n15 Campus Drive\, University of Saskatchewan\nSaskato
on\, Saskatchewan\nHosted by the University of Saskatchewan College of Law
\, the Native Law Centre and the Aboriginal Law Students Association \n
\nKawaskimhon\nKawaskimhon means 'speaking with knowledge.' 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

DESCRIPTION:Just Say Know: Regulating Psychedelic Expertise\n\nPresented by
Erika Dyck\, Canada Research Chair\, History of Medicine\, Department of
History\, University of Saskatchewan\n\nDuring the 1960s psychedelic drugs
came under scrutiny\, not only by curious university students\, but by me
dical authorities\, federal politicians and Food and Drug regulators. 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

DESCRIPTION:' Wild Actors and Wrathful Deities: Buddhist Faith\, Entertainm
ent\, and the Kabuki Theatre of Early Modern Japan'\nBy Dr. Kevin Bond\, U
niversity of Regina\n\nThe vibrant 'floating world' of kabuki had become\,
by 1700\, a cultural pillar of Japan's new samurai capital of Edo. The th
eatre\, which entertained all social levels with its exciting repertoire o
f villains\, demons\, heroes\, and gods\, became an open\, fluid space res
isting harsh Confucian-inspired cultural expectations. 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

DESCRIPTION:Every year the Aboriginal Students' Centre (ASC) along with par
tners from across the University of Saskatchewan hosts an Aboriginal Achie
vement Week (AAW) to showcase aboriginal culture and excellence in researc
h and academia on campus. \n\nThe events throughout the week are open to a
ll students\, staff and faculty of the University of Saskatchewan as well
as community members from Saskatoon and beyond. \n\nWe hope this week prov
ides everyone with the opportunity to better understand and be a part of t
he celebration of aboriginal culture on campus. \n\nSome of the activities
\, such as the opening Pipe Ceremony and the Sweatlodge\, will be very spi
ritual and sacred in nature - these are very important ceremonies that we
would very much like to encourage others of different faiths to consider p
articipating in\, even if only to observe. \n\nOther events are more acade
mic or educational in nature (e.g. film screenings\, panel discussion) and
some are very physical (jigging\, lacrosse). All activities are meant to
demonstrate that aboriginal culture is valued within the University of Sas
katchewan as well as remind us that the personal achievement of each stude
nt\, be they aboriginal or not\, is an achievement for all.\n\nSpecial tha
nks to our sponsors on campus and in the corporate community\, as well as
to the many student associations and university departments/units on campu
s which made this year's AAW possible.\n\nWe hope this week is both educat
ional and enjoyable to all!\n\n

a\n\nSince the G7 was created in the mid-1970’s\, international summitry
has become increasingly important as a way of handling the complex econom
ic and political issues that face the global community. \n\nGroups of lead
ers now meet regularly on regional or issue-specific bases\, with impacts
on how countries achieve their international goals and ensure their voices
are heard. International institutions are also being tested. \n\nThe most
recent move towards a powerful G20 grouping is the latest major change in
global governance. Canada has been able to play an influential role in th
e world of summitry\, especially in the G8\, but this will change as emerg
ing new powers take their proper place in global decision making.\n\n \nMr
. Edwards retired in 2010 after 41 years in Canada’s Public Service. He
was the PM’s G-8 and G-20 Sherpa from 2008 to July 2010\, Deputy Ministe
r of Foreign Affairs (2007-2010)\, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (2004-
2007) and International Trade (2001-2004). He has served as Canada’s Amb
assador to Japan and to Korea\, and has been an Assistant Deputy Minister
for Trade and Economic Policy and for the Asia Pacific. He organized the 1
988 and 1995 Economic Summits and the 1987 Commonwealth Heads of Governmen
t Meeting. He has worked in the former Saigon\, in Hanoi and Ankara\, at B
russels/NATO and in Geneva with Canada’s Mission to the UN. Mr. Edwards
is from Melfort\, Saskatchewan. He is married to Margaret MacDonald from K

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Wayne Simpson\, Professor of Economics\, Universit
y of Manitoba\n\nTwo decades have passed since the first wave of balanced
budget legislation (BBL) in Canada. 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. He is a speci
alist in labour economics\, applied microeconomics\, quantitative methods
and social policy\, and has worked for the Bank of Canada and Economic Cou
ncil of Canada. He is the author of Urban Structure and the Labour Market:
Analysis of Worker Mobility\, Commuting and Underemployment in Cities (19
92) and co-author (with D. Hum) of Income Maintenance\, Work Effort and th
e Canadian Mincome Experiment (1991) and Maintaining a Competitive Workfor
ce (1996). \nHe has also published more than 50 refereed articles in econo
mics and policy journals and numerous technical and research reports\, boo
k chapters\, and other articles. He is currently a member of the editorial
board of Canadian Public Policy.\n\n

DESCRIPTION:Presented by John D. Whyte\, Policy Fellow\, Johnson-Shoyama Gr
aduate School of Public Policy\n\nThe scholastic achievement of First Nati
ons children is relatively low and this\, it is felt\, prevents social and
economic inclusion and contributes to a host of other social dysfunctions
. \n\nIn June 2011\, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada\,
in conjunction with the Assembly of First Nations\, launched a process to
examine an enquiry into ways to improve education outcomes. The actual pol
icy development and report writing was compressed into weeks with the resu
lt that basic conceptual conflicts could not be satisfactorily resolved. T
his was a nationally important policy development project but its complexi
ty and very tight time limits may have impaired the development of good po
licy. In this talk the excitement and enthusiasm of engaging in potentiall
y transforming policy development will be looked at\, as well as the frust
rations of working within conceptual and political limits.\n\nJohn Whyte h
as served as Dean of Law at Queen’s University and has also held teachin
g appointments at York University\, Melbourne University\, University of T
oronto\, UBC and the University of Saskatchewan. From 1979 to 1982 he serv
ed as the Director of Constitutional Law in the Saskatchewan Department of
the Attorney General advising Saskatchewan on the 1982 constitutional ref
orms. From 1997 to 2002\, he served as Saskatchewan’s Deputy Minister of
Justice and Deputy Attorney-General. He has written and edited a large nu

DESCRIPTION:Rubbish\, Stink and Death: The Historical Evolution\, Present S
tate\, and Future Direction of Water-Quality Management and Modeling\n\nMo
dern environmental and water resources engineering grew out of societal co
ncerns related to aesthetics (rubbish)\, ecosystem health (stink) and dise
ase (death). 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. Future directi
ons are discussed with emphasis on his research modelling waterborne disea
ses.\n
