commuNitY desigN iN NortHerN caNada–NortHwest territoriesDepartment of Art and DesignSince 1995, Deh Cho First Nations have been negotiating with Canada and the Government of the Northwest Territories for a just settlement of their outstanding Aboriginal and treaty rights.

Through the completion of this process new structures will be created for the governance of each Deh Cho community. It is anticipated that through this negotiation process each community government will have a guaranteed Aboriginal representation, with the Chief being the leader of the community. The challenge is to design a communications strategy that can articulate to the majority of residents how the amalgamation of their politically autonomous organizations will work and to communicate to community members how relinquishing their band status (aboriginal government) in favour of a public government with guaranteed representation will benefit them. A major consideration is the majority of the population of voting age having English as a second language with limited literacy capacities. The task is, therefore, to design a visual and/or oral communications strategy to explain such significant changes to peoples’ lives.

Together, students in Art and Design and in other programs will work to explore communication design as part of community development. There will be an integrative design component featuring the design of a public display of the process and outcomes of the course.

oil aNd commuNitY: HealtH equitY iN a petro-eNviroNmeNtDepartments of Community Service-Learning and Rural Economy“Without our health we have nothing,” is how people often talk about their well-being. But does this belief conflict with the benefits derived from petroleum extraction and processing?

Explore the fragile relationship between the oil economy and health equity by examining differences in health that are potentially unnecessary, avoidable and unjust. Through coursework and community-based projects undertaken with community organizations across Alberta, students will engage directly with social determinants of health and experience firsthand how communities and local organizations use their own knowledge to address and reorient health in the context of the energy economy and natural environment.

This course will also include a public lecture series featuring local, national and international speakers on themes relevant to the course and community issues. Topics may include: globalization and health, psycho-social effects of a petro-environment, boom-bust effects on health provision, culture and health in Aboriginal communities and the impacts of the oil economy on family and youth.

While broadly exploring the relationship between oil and community, we will focus on health issues of particular relevance to: oilsands operations in northern Alberta, refining of petroleum products near communities ‘downstream’ and oil and gas drilling in rural agricultural areas.

Ancient India – Diversity in History


India has been a land of immense contrasts and diversities since early historic times. What is distinctive about this? Do such inherited diversities hamper the evolution of historical civilizations? This course focuses on a select description, in space and time, of the diverse material, social, cultural and political traditions that were the historical foundations of the subcontinent. The goal of this course is to unfold that change, in this case, did not obliterate the earlier but that sharp elements of continuity defined these traditions. Understanding diversity in the ancient historical context of India thus enables students to delineate the way in which this multicultural society defined the overall character of this civilization.

Economic Change and Cultural Exchange in Early India 200BCE–300CE

HIST 393 LEC B1 – Summer Term

The ancient city of Carthage, now a suburb of Tunis, was one of the great cities of the ancient Mediterranean world. Founded by the Phoenicians in the ninth century BC, it became the centre of Punic civilization in the western Mediterranean and a powerful rival to Rome. After its destruction by the Romans in 146 BC, Carthage was temporarily abandoned but was soon rebuilt and became an important city of the Roman Empire. As the political and cultural metropolis of Roman Africa, Carthage was home to many great historical figures including Apuleius, Tertullian and, on occasions, Saint Augustine. The course will involve the study of the major monuments of Roman Carthage including the theatre, the baths, the circus and the amphitheatre. These monuments will be studied in the context of the ancient city’s political and cultural history. Also included will be the study of some of the important post-Roman monuments of Carthage which date to the Vandal and Byzantine periods. There will also be visits to major museums and to other archaeological sites in Tunisia.

Students are invited to participate in several courses offered as part of a classical archaeological field school in Central Italy. The U of A is currently involved in active fieldwork at this location—a second century BC to fifth century AD site in Ossaia/Cortona (Arezzo).

In order to study the Romanization of Etruria, students will take part in the excavation of a Roman complex of the first century BC through fifth century AD. Evidence of several Caesarum brickstamps indicates that the complex was part of an estate of the Roman Imperial family. Well preserved mosaics, wall paintings and architecture have been found. Four rooms of the newly opened Archaeological Museum in Cortona are dedicated to the site, and are visited as part of the classroom time.

The Archaeological Field School teaches students advanced excavation and laboratory procedures and processing and analysis of finds within the cultural and historical context of Roman Italy. The courses will be taught in modules and techniques of excavation and recording in Classical Archaeology. These courses are open to individuals with some background in classics, ancient history, archaeology, art history or anthropology.

Discover the Archaeological Field School at Kastro Kallithea, Greece as a participant in a Canadian/Greek archaeological project.

The 2011 season will be the seventh season at Kallithea. The archaeological project aims at mapping, surveying and excavating an extensive and very well-preserved fortified Classical/Hellenistic city in central Greece. In this coming season, the plan is to study the finds of the previous years of survey and excavation.

The project as a whole focuses on the impact of the Macedonian rulers on processes of urbanization in Central Greece as well as on the impact of the Romans who had this territory under control from the second century BCE onward. The conquest of Greek poleis in the fourth century BCE and later Roman presence brought about many changes in the ways economy and society were organized. The city at Kallithea was inhabited during these disruptive periods in the history of Greece.

Students will be introduced to find processing skills such as artifact analysis, artifact analysis, drawing, describing and photographing of various types of artifacts such as pottery, metal items and coins. In order to contextualize our archaeological activities, we will visit museums and other sites in the region as part of the course. The course is open to students with a background in classics, classical archaeology, anthropology, art history and ancient history.

Participants will stay in a series of mountain huts owned and operated by the Alpine Club of Canada. Instructors are certified by the internationally-recognized ACMG and licensed by Parks Canada. No prior mountaineering experience is needed.

The History of Canada’s Rocky Mountain Parks

HIST 360 LEC 95

This course will explore the history of the Rocky Mountain National Parks, including such themes as

the expulsion of Native groups in order to create “wilderness”,

the mapping and legislation of protected areas, and

the troubled history of the relation between the symbolic role of parks in national identity and Parks Canada’s record of managing them as sites for resource extraction, as pleasure grounds for the rich and as “unimpaired” wildlife habitats.

Course work will develop a critical knowledge base about the history of the parks and enhance a scholarly approach to critical thinking, debate, reading, research and effective written and presentation skills.

Ecology and Management of Jasper National Park

REN R 401 LEC 95

The Rocky Mountains of Canada is a dynamic landscape that is both diverse in its ecology and its management. This course will focus on providing students with a greater understanding of mountain ecosystems by covering general concepts and theories relating to mountain ecology, ecosystem dynamics, conservation and management. With this foundation, students will critically examine management policies and strategies used to maintain ecological integrity within Jasper National Park. Students will study how management tools, such as natural disturbance, ecosystem-based and species-specific management, are used in a national park setting to address current environmental issues.

Physiology of Altitude & Mountains

PEDS 497 LEC 96

This course will explore the physiological factors and adaptations involved in altitude exposure. Students will learn the basic human physiology relevant to altitude exposure and exercise in the mountains. In particular, students will examine and understand the acute responses of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems to altitude exposure, as well as the chronic adaptations that occur in these systems with acclimatization. Emphasis will be placed on prevention and treatment of altitude illnesses, sleep disordered breathing and brain function at altitude. In the laboratory students will observe simulated altitude exposure in a hypoxic chamber and measure the ventilatory and cardiovascular responses to progressive altitude. Field instruction and observations will continue in the mountain setting.

The People’s Republic of China is the world’s third largest country by total area with over 1.3 billion people. Since the introduction of market-based economic reforms in 1978, China is now the world’s third largest economy and the world’s second largest exporter and the third largest importer of goods. Today, China is facing a number of social, economic and environmental challenges resulting from rapid industrialization. Most important are a rapidly aging population, the widening of the urban-rural income gap, food safety and ecosystem degradation.

Upon completion of the course, students will have a basic knowledge of Chinese culture, values,

society, economy and higher education, been paired for one week with a home Chinese

teaching department of choice to gain insights into their academic major, and learned to effectively communicate with Chinese

counterparts—a foundation for potentially further activities with Chinese individuals and institutions.

Narrative Inquiries with Children, Youth and Family

EDES 501 SEM B1

Instructors: Dr Jean Clandinin, Sonia Houle, Simmee Chung and Sean Lessard

This course will work from understandings of narrative inquiry to develop narrative understandings of curriculum making and identity making as relational practices. This work will be done by focusing on the ways children, teachers, parents and other co-compose curriculum in classrooms and schools. Working from key concepts around the teacher and children/youth as curriculum makers, the course will create spaces for participants to narratively inquire into their own curriculum-making practices and explore how teachers’ and children’s/youth’s work in a co-constructing curriculum is interwoven with identity making. Concepts for consideration and discussion will include, among others: narrative inquiry as a relational research methodology, peace education and how curriculum making in schools and classrooms as identity-making for children, youth, families and teachers. The course intent is to explore how these concepts can be woven together in the living of lives, contributing to more inclusive, peaceful and meaningful schools and communities.

Toward a Curriculum of Community

EDES 501 SEM B2

This course will begin with teachers’ and administrators’ experiential knowledge of community building in classrooms and schools. Using this knowledge as a starting point for inquiry, students will explore the works of philosophers, sociologists and curriculum theorists alongside the work of peace educators and activists to help them think further about shaping peaceful and inclusive communities. Using a reflexive approach, the course will allow participants to re-imagine their experiential knowing with new insights into their practices.

Generating Knowledge of Teaching and Teacher Education Through Self-study of Practice

EDES 501 SEM B3

Instructors: Dr. Stefinee Pinnegar and Dr. Mary Lynn Hamilton

This course will develop skill in the self-study of teaching practices in order to contribute to research on teaching, teacher thinking and identity and teacher education. Self-study always exists between biography and autobiography, between self and other and between theory and practice. It requires practitioners to examine simultaneously both being and becoming a teacher or teacher educator. Research articles on self-study of practice will be used to inform individual research projects. Concepts for consideration and discussion will include, among others: self-study of practice as a methodology for examining practices in teaching and teacher education and self-study of practice that supports and undergirds peace education. The course intent is to explore how these concepts can be woven together as a researcher uncovers meaning in his/her practice, works to embody his/her beliefs and values by creating living educational theory in practice and therefore contributes to more just, peaceful and meaningful schools and communities.

Accommodation and Travel The Department of Housing and Food Services (780.492.6056) offers students a variety of residence communities. St. Joseph’s College (780.492.7681 ext. 248) also offers summer residency. For information about other options visit www.uofaweb.ualberta.ca/residences
