From 2004 on, New Curriculum Reform has been giving rise the biggest theoretical debate in educational field in China, which is commonly called “Wang-Zhong Debate”. This debate has greatly promoted the understanding of curriculum and pedagogy in China. Where is New Curriculum Reform going? It will honestly respond the realistic claiming of educational practice, pick up the long valuable wisdom tradition (for example, Confucianism), and recover the modern tradition of educational democratization in the first part of 20^th century. If so, the future of New Curriculum Reform is bright.

Would you like to use your writing, research and creative skills to showcase the impact of that research to broader audiences?

If you answer those three questions with an enthusiastic ‘YES!’ then apply to join the OGPR team for a 2-month research and communication project.

The goal of the project is to gather data about the impact of Faculty of Education research projects funded by SSHRC, CIHR and NSERC, help organize it for easy searching, and prepare the data for communication through various print and electronic media (such as written stories, the web, social media, video, posters, brochures and reports).

What’s required?

The Graduate Academic Assistants hired for this project must:

– Be a current graduate student in the Faculty of Education (ECPS, EDCP, EDST, LLED, and KIN)

– Be available 8-12 hours/week in February and March, and participate in regular meetings (can join remotely)

– Be curious about education research in a wide range of topic areas

– Have strong interviewing skills, with an ear for good stories

– Write clearly, in a way that appeals to non-specialized audiences

– Enjoy working with a team, brainstorm ideas, and receive and provide constructive feedback

Students with some experience with journalism, video, or graphic design are particularly encouraged to apply.

Salary

$22.34/h for Master’s students; $23.21/h for doctoral students.

How to apply?

Email Brigitte Gemme your c.v. and a brief statement (150 words max) explaining why you would like to participate in this project, and what you have to contribute to the team.

Dr. Joy Johnson
Professor, School of Nursing, UBC and Director, CIHR Institute of Gender and Health

Integrating Gender Considerations in Health Research: Shaping Science for a Healthier World Failure to consider sex and gender 
in research can be harmful and costly. Yet, many scientists persist in the belief that either these differences do not matter,
or that they can be controlled through experimental or statistical procedures. At the CIHR Institute of Gender and Health we
are working toward changing the way science is conducted by influencing the structures, processes and outcomes of research.
In this talk I discuss achievements, barriers, and future challenges in achieving this agenda.

With an extensive background researching the role that gender plays in medical treatment, Dr. Joy Johnson is considered 
one of Canada's leading scholars in the field of health behaviour. She's won several awards, including a Killam research
prize from UBC, which recognizes outstanding and scholarly contributions of international significance. Dr. Johnson is 
the Scientific Director at the CIHR Institute of Gender and Health, co-founder of the Women's Health Research Network, 
and a professor at UBC.

Dr. Alison Alkon, Assistant Professor and Chair of Sociology, University of the Pacific

Black, White and Green: Food Justice, Farmers Markets and the Green Economy

This talk will begin by describing the emergent concept of food justice, which is found at the nexus of inequalities and food 
and agricultural systems. It will lay out some of the guiding questions and theoretical antecedents that have helped to define 
the field. Next, Alkon will offer an example from her own ethnographic work in the San Francisco Bay Area. There, Alkon compared 
predominantly black and white farmers markets to better understand the ways that race and class shape the visions and goals that 
communities assign to sustainable agriculture. From this research she argues that both communities sought to create more just 
and sustainable food systems, and that efforts to do so were simultaneously inventive and limited by each market's social 
location. However, she also describes how economic inequalities pervade both farmers markets in ways that cannot be resolved 
without broader structural changes. Alkon will draw from this knowledge to comment on the field of food justice research, and 
to highlight potential directions for new work.

Dr. Alison Alkon is Assistant Professor and Chair, Sociology at the University of the Pacific where she teaches and does 
research on food, the environment and inequalities of race, class and gender. Alkon's books include Black, White and Green: 
Race, Farmers Markets and the Green Economy and Cultivating Food Justice: Race, Class and Sustainability (co-edited with 
Julian Agyeman). These works have helped to establish the growing field of Food Justice Studies which explores how 
inequalities affect food and agricultural systems and how communities and policy makers are responding to these inequalities.
