The Missing Link
The World Values Survey ( WVS ) shows that, on average, individual Canadians, like Australians, Britons, and Americans, express few macro and meso patriarchal beliefs. However, Canadians are best viewed as members of different sex-based clusters of patriarchal beliefs. The intensity of beliefs varies considerably among such groups. A survey conducted in Toronto also collected information on micro patriarchal beliefs that were not measured in the …
Macro-Political Structures, Change, and Stasis in Undergraduates' Political Identities in Canada and the United States - A Comparative Historical Analysis
American research has found that change in political identification is a possible outcome of a university education, particularly in the liberal arts. By contrast, Canadian survey data collected in 1963, 1967, 2013, and 2017 point to there being no change in political identification on the part of undergraduates in a Canadian university with a liberal arts curriculum. In contrast to the United States, by means of cluster analyses conducted on the…
Boomers and Generation Z on campus
Compared to the other Anglo-American democracies, when they start job searches, Canadian post-secondary graduates likely confront more competition from similarly educated youth, and experience a relatively high unemployment rate. In addition, should they find work, there is no guarantee for graduates that it will be in their area of specialization. There is an added possibility that employment will be precarious. By comparison, in the mid-sixties…

Imperfect Printed Enamel Surfaces
Eighteenth-century ceramic and enamelware manufacturers recognized that printing provided an efficient means of applying identical decoration to three-dimensional surfaces, which thereby speeded up production. The process, transfer printing, used a flexible paper carrier to ‘transfer’ wet ink from a flat engraved copper plate to the irregular surface of an object. Whilst the ceramics industry is writ large within the grand narrative of the eighte…
“Plus Ça Change…”
New-Left Feminism emerged on Canadian campuses in 1967. While prior to that date some Canadian women had been concerned with their limited circumstances, by and large, university students expressed little visible support for their cause. In this article, I will show that prior to the debut of New-Left Feminism, while they may not have been vocal, the 1967 graduates of Glendon College, York University, located in Toronto, Canada, were well aware o…
The 'First Generation' in Historical Perspective
Over the past few years a number of studies have focused on the disadvantages confronted by students who are the first in their families to attend university. Their liabilities include relatively low levels of preparedness, a lack of involvement in campus activities, and low levels of academic achievement. Rather than accepting the universality of this characterization, in this article, these negative characteristics and experiences were viewed a…
Developing the Politics of the Trade Union Movement
Drawing on evidence from research interviews, workers’ memoirs, oral histories, and a range of secondary sources, the development of popular workers’ education is traced over a thirty year period, 1955 to 1985, and is rooted in the proletarian culture of South Yorkshire, UK. The period is seen as an historical conjuncture of Left social movements (trade unions, the Communist and Labour parties, tenants’ movements, movements of working-class women…
The “feminine mystique” and problems of a cohort of female Canadian university students in the early 1960s
In 1963 Betty Friedan pointed out that as a result of a "feminine mystique," "college girls" in the United States were immature, bored, and more interested in getting a man than in their studies. In this examination of students entering Glendon College in Toronto in 1963 I point out that there is also some evidence pointing to the existence of a feminine mystique in Canada; however, I find that Friedan's characterization of female American studen…
Talkin' 'Bout My Generation
While Canadian scholars have documented some of the beliefs and behaviours of student activists in the 1960s, little has been said of the 'average' Canadian university student. As a result, this article deals with the political orientations and activities of students who entered Glendon College, York University, in 1963 and who graduated by 1967. It will be shown that upon entry to the university this cohort of students was primarily Liberal. Des…
Organising, educating, and training
The article is based on activist research working in an anti-deportation social movement, and on sixteen interviews with both experienced and less experienced activists between 2009 and 2011.The anti deportation social movement made up of a range of organisations, is identified as a left social movement situated in an historic producer proletarian culture of manual work in coal and steel. South Yorkshire, a heartland of twentieth century social d…
Cultural capital and academic achievement of first generation domestic and international students in Canadian universities
In Canada little research has been conducted on those who are the first in their families to attend university. Cultural reproduction theory suggests that such students would be less likely to engage in the type of activities that, according to the college impact model, contribute to academic achievement. In order to test these and other possibilities a longitudinal survey‐based study of domestic and international students was conducted at four C…
Language Background, Ethno‐Racial Origin, and Academic Achievement of Students at a Canadian University
Research conducted in Canada and the United States shows that the age of arrival of immigrant children, language spoken in the home, and ethno‐racial origin have consequences for English language acquisition and academic attainment. So far, however, the degree to which these factors have consequences for academic achievement at the post‐secondary level has scarcely been studied. In this study, it is found that the communication skills of universi…
Linguistic Capital and Academic Achievement of Canadian‐ and Foreign‐Born University Students
Au Canada, plusieurs universités prennent des mesures pour recruter des immigrants ou leurs enfants et satisfaire leurs besoins—et parmi eux plusieurs ont l'anglais comme langue seconde. Il n'y a pas de recherches au Canada qui comparent la progression potentielle du capital linguistique des étudiants ayant l'anglais comme langue seconde et celui des autres étudiants au fil de leur parcours universitaire, avec les relations entre les progressions…

Social dynamics, university experiences, and graduates' job outcomes
In Canada, little attention has been paid to the extent to which job outcomes are the result of the human capital honed in university or of broader social dynamics. Combining the fundamental insights of status attainment and cultural reproduction theories with propositions of the college impact model, the current study examines the effects of cultural, social and human capital on four job outcomes two years after graduation from a Canadian univer…
Parents, Educational Attainment, Jobs and Satisfaction
In this study, we examine relationships among parental background, post-secondary attainment, occupational status, and extrinsic and intrinsic job satisfaction of a cohort of British Columbia youth who graduated from high school in 1988. This cohort was studied through surveys conducted in 1989, 1993, and 1998. Consistent with cultural reproduction theory, it was expected that via the route of educational and occupational attainment, individuals …
Skill, Autonomy, and Technological Change in Canada
In Canada, the General Social Survey of 1989 provides the opportunity to examine the relationship between skill and autonomy for individuals in different industrial sectors, occupations, and demographic groups. It also enables an examination of the extent to which the introduction of new technology is associated with various combinations of skill and autonomy. Overall it is found that the association between skill and autonomy is not very strong;…

Male hegemony and the English Canadian novel
D'après un examen des romans canadiens‐anglais couvrant une période de 200 ans, il est clair que le roman canadien‐anglais est un véhicule servant à perpétuer l'hégémonie masculine. Au cours de la période en question, la grande majorité des romans exprimait une acceptation de la subordination de la femme. Seuls quelques‐uns ont soit jeté un doute sur cette position, soit rejeté entièrement la position inférieure de la femme, mais ce sentiment s'e…

Interest aggregation and Canadian politics
The following article focuses on the processes whereby an initial demand for the formation of a central bank in Canada was eventually transformed into policy. In the analysis, the groups for and against the formation of the bank are identified, the environmental factors which made demands for a central bank credible are examined, and the role of the political parties in translating demand into policy is looked at in some detail. This analysis she…
New Materials and Methods for the Musical Instrument Designer, the Audio-Kinetic Sculptor, Musician and Composer
The author points out that recently developed materials offer many possibilities for the development of new types of musical instruments with different musical vocabularies. There is as yet not enough work being done to determine the sound properties of these materials. A list of tested and untested materials is provided. Once a material is chosen, the designer is faced with the problems of selecting the shape of sound-producing forms and the met…

Social Position and Interest Recognition
In a brief footnote in Political Man, S.M. Lipset argued that political scientists had, in the past, approached the phenomenon of electoral change in terms of its being “a rational reaction to new situations or factors.” Sociologists and social psychologists who had channelled their endeavours in this directtion, on the other hand, had, Lipset argued, placed emphasis elsewhere: when it came to explanations of the vote, group pressures and the ful…
