Course cancellations emails: system error‏

Please be advised that some graduate students are being emailed by ubc.systems@ubc.ca to say that course registrations, from 2008 primarily, have been cancelled.  This is due to a system error and not due to any compromise of the SISC; no registrations have been cancelled.

This is, of course, a very broad topic, and this workshop is intended to get the juices flowing and explore a few different subtopics that have the potential to lead to future, more specific workshops.

Call For Papers: R. I. Simon: A pedagogy of public possibility

The influence of Roger Simon’s calling as a teacher extends in incalculable directions. For decades, his teaching at the University of Toronto questioned status quo practices found in activism, schools, museums, media, and other sites of public memory. Simon’s influence is as subtle in these multiple directions as it is profound in specific sites where his colleagues and former students now work.

In a special Canadian Social Studies issue we seek to honour Roger and his work with the focused attention, theoretical risk and radical possibility he practiced and encouraged. We do so by inviting contributions from those whose work takes up, extends, or is imbued with Roger’s influence as a teacher and as a scholar.

Submission deadline is January 5, 2014.
