The layout of the land : the Canadian Pacific Railway's photographic advertising and the travels of Frank Randall Clarke, 1920-1929Becker, Anne Lynn January 2005 (has links)
This thesis examines the role of photography in making the Canadian Pacific Railway company (CPR) an integral part of Canadian mythology. It focuses on the company's photographic advertising in the 1920s, and the ways in which its increasingly nationalistic transcontinental brochures framed the country, and equated the act of travelling with nation-building and national identity. / The CPR's tourist brochures established a visual vocabulary of the travelling experience, which was readily employed by individuals such as Montreal journalist Frank Randall Clarke. Clarke was sponsored by the CPR to travel across the country in the summer of 1929. His journalistic writing and personal photograph album allow for a rich analysis of the visual culture of the period, and they will be used to illustrate the ways in which the CPR represented Canadian progress, immigration, and tourism.

"This is our work" : The Women's Division of the Canadian Department of Immigration and Colonization, 1919-1938Mancuso, Rebecca, 1964- January 1999 (has links)
Anglophone women, working in a new capacity as federal civil servants, exercised a significant influence on Canadian immigration policy in the interwar years. This dissertation focuses on the women's division of the Canadian Department of Immigration and Colonization, an agency charged with recruiting British women for domestic service from 1919 to 1938. The division was a product of the women's wing of the social reform movement and prevailing theories of gender difference and anglo-superiority. Tracing its nearly twenty years of operations shows how the division, initially regarded as a source of imperial strength and a means of English Canada's cultural survival, came to symbolize the disadvantages of Canada's connection to Great Britain and supposed weaknesses inherent in the female character. This institutional study explores the real and imagined connections among gender, imperialism, and the changing socio-economic landscape of interwar Canada.

John K. Friesen : adult educator, mentor and humanitarianKennedy, Kathryn Anne 11 1900 (has links)
Dr. John K. Friesen is a Canadian who, for over 50 years
worked first in the field of adult education in Canada and
then in population planning internationally. He gained
prominence in his own country, considerable international
stature and a reputation for his vision and capability.
Friesen successfully used a democratic, cooperative approach
in discovering and responding to community requirements in
adult learning. This biographical study provides new
material about his character, goals, influences. The thesis
focuses on Friesen’s work as Director of Extension for the
University of British Columbia (UBC), Vancouver, Canada
(1953 - 1966) but also outlines his life and career before
this term and gives a synopsis of his international work.
A brief description is given of Friesen’s upbringing in a
small rural community in Manitoba, his experiences as an
educator and leader during the great depression and of his
war service in the RCAF. His work in organizing adult
education programs for the Manitoba Federation of
Agriculture and his life during post-graduate studies at
Columbia University are described. He was involved in the
cooperative movement and provided informed, effective
leadership in Manitoba’s post-war efforts to renew its
educational system and to develop a network of hospitals.
The thesis examines Friesen’s commitments, methods and the
management style he applied in expanding the UBC Extension
Department into a sophisticated organization. Under his
leadership the department became influential in adult
education, leadership and citizenship training in British
Columbia; also it was involved in international adult
education work. Research was conducted into the work of
Friesen and others in originating a graduate program in
adult education at UBC. The nature and outcomes of his work
in promoting continuing professional education is also
examined. The role of Extension in the Vancouver
International Festival and other cultural development work
is discussed. Friesen is shown to have extended the work
of the University into communities throughout the province
using study-discussion groups, lectures, credit and noncredit
programs in this work. A change in University policy
(1963) forced the Department to abandon much of its
community based work; the consequences of this shift are
considered.
Comment from seven of Friesen’s senior colleagues provides
insight into his leadership quality and the perceived value
of the work carried out during his term. Some conclusions
are drawn about Friesen’s life as an educator and
humanitarian and on his approach to adult education. The
ideas, ideals, commitments and convictions demonstrated by
Friesen remain valid today.
