The development and social adjustment of the Jewish community in MontrealSeidel, Judith January 1939 (has links)
The Jewish group offers a picture different in certain ways from other racial and ethnic minorities in Montreal and in Canada. The main period of its history in Canada begins about 1900. In Montreal a small, compact nucleus of Jewish population in the nineteenth century has expanded and developed into a large, comparatively heterogeneous and widely scattered, yet solidly integrated, self-conscious community. The changing ecological pattern of the Jewish community is traced, in relation to the growth of the city of Montreal as a whole* Informal habits, as well as formal structures, reveal the differences in adjustment and assimilation between different elements within the Jewish community, these differences being shown to coincide rather closely with those of successive areas of settlement in the city. Complete assimilation has been achieved by few, if any, of the members of this community; the completely unassimilated type is likewise practically non-existent.

An ethnographic exploration of the relationship between women and development in GhanaLambert, Heather January 2001 (has links)
This study was an attempt to identify the relationship between women and non-governmental organizations in Ghana. It was conducted over a period of one year in the capital city of Accra. Ethnographic and feminist methodology were the framework for the fieldwork and text. Interviews, observations and discussions with aid workers and development recipients determined the perimeters and rendered meaning. Women dominated both sides of development and aid work in Ghana; however, there was limited interaction between them. Female recipients of development were not consulted regarding development projects and were not familiar with the scope and implications of international aid. Female development personnel from both Ghana and the United States were separated from the communities and people they worked for personally and professionally. The development workers did not consider consultation with female clients a necessity or an obligation. Both groups of women struggled to incorporate the concepts and implications of development into their situated reality. / Department of Anthropology

Women in nineteenth-century PullmanHoover, Douglas Pearson January 1988 (has links)
Built in 1880, George Pullman's railroad car manufacturing town was intended to be a model of industrial order. This Gilded Age capitalist's ideal image of working class women is reflected in the publicly prescribed place for women in the community and the company's provisions for female employment in the shops. Pullman wanted women to establish the town's domestic tranquility by cultivating a middle class environment, which he believed was a key to keeping the working class content. Throughout the course of the idealized communitarian experiment, however, Pullman's policies and prescriptions changed to meet the needs of working class families who depended on the wages of women. This paper will study the ideologies and realities surrounding women in nineteenth century Pullman.

A breakdown & reinvention : the people and the place, housing for Chinese seniors with a community component in Strathcona, VancouverLu, Winnie Nien-wei 11 1900 (has links)
This is a project about a specific group of peopleand place: the Chinese elderly in
Strathcona, Vancouver. The parameters are cultural, social and physical. It is about a traditional
culture at a crossroad with a North American culture, the implications being a critical exchange.
I have proposed a living space that combines the closeness of a private world and the
openness of an active and meaningful public face. The design of the housing addresses not only
the area's need for elderly housing, but social and architectural perspectives as well. The private
housing component is combined with a community (public) part - a daycare - and a semi-public
part - the lounge, both of which allows the participation of the residents as well as the community.
The lounge is a space for small exhibitions and performances. The semi-private component
consists of a dining facility with kitchen, a small reading room (family room), a laundry and a clinic
(beauty parlour).
This combination means a dynamic connection of the public and the private faces.
Through the use of the community's own design language and ideas from Asian housing and
village designs, I have linked together a world of singular intracacies to create a rich sphere - one
that will begin an urban repair through a breakdown and restructuring of the integral components
of a place and the idiosyncracies of a culture.

Teaching bodies, learning desires : feminist-poststructural life histories of heterosexual and lesbian physical education teachers in western CanadaSykes, Heather 11 1900 (has links)
Physical education is a profession where heterosexuality has historically been
regarded as normal, if not compulsory. The location of female physical education
(PE) teachers at the nexus of discourses about masculinist sport, women's physical
education and pedagogies of the body has exerted unique historical pressures on
their sexualities. In North America and Western Europe, female PE teachers have
frequently been suspected of being lesbian. This suspicion has enveloped lesbian
teachers in a shroud of oppressive silence, tolerated only as an 'open secret' (Cahn,
1994).
This study examined the life histories of six women from three generations
who had taught physical education in western Canada. Previous life history research
has focused exclusively on lesbian PE teachers (Clarke, 1996; Sparkes, 1992, 1994a,
1994b; Squires & Sparkes, 1996; Sparkes & Templin, 1992) which risks reinforcing a
hierarchical relationship between 'lesbian' and 'heterosexual'. Accordingly, three
women who identified as 'lesbian' and three as 'married' or 'heterosexual' were
involved in this study which incorporated poststructural, psychoanalytic and queer
theories about sexual subjectivity into a feminist approach to life history. The
notions of 'understanding' and 'overstanding' were used to analyze data which
meant interpreting not only had been said during the interviews but also what was
left unsaid.
The women's life histories revealed how lesbian sexualities have been
marginalized and silenced, especially within the physical education profession. A l l
the women grew up in families where heterosexuality was normalized, and all
except one experienced pressure to date boys during their high school education in
Canada. As teachers, identifying as a 'feminist' had a greater affect on their personal
politics and approaches to teaching than their sexual identities. The life histories
also provided limited support to the notion that PE teacher's participation in
various women's sports accentuated the suspicion of lesbianism. For two of the
'lesbian' women, team sports continued to provide valuable lesbian communities
from the 1950s to the present day. In contrast, one 'lesbian' women established her
lesbian social network through individual sports and urban feminist groups. The
'heterosexual' women had all participated in gender-neutral sports. Overall the
sporting backgrounds of these teachers did little to dispel the long-standing
association between women's sports and lesbianism which, in turn, has affected
female PE teachers.
Drawing on queer theory and the notion of 'overstanding' data,
deconstructive interpretations suggested how heterosexuality had been normalized
in several institutional discourses within women's physical education. These
interpretations undermined the boundaries of 'the closet', sought out an absent
lesbian gaze and suggested that homophobia has been, in part, rooted in the social
unconscious of the physical education profession.
