A Hole in One: Sport and Environment     

Elizabeth L. Jewett 《国际体育史杂志》2017,34(5-6):357-361

Abstract

Sport history is a subfield well positioned to involve and benefit from an interdisciplinary approach to historical actors and spaces. Through the use of personal research and teaching experiences that focuses on the intersection between environmental history and those of sport, this piece explores the value in such an interdisciplinary structure through the examples of researching golf courses as transnational sporting landscapes and of teaching sport and leisure cultures to a diverse student body with high levels of engagement.  相似文献   

Cultural plan implementation and outcomes in Ontario,Canada     

Jason F. Kovacs 《Cultural Trends》2010,19(3):209-224

Since 2005 there has been a surge of cultural planning initiatives in Canada, especially in the Province of Ontario. However, very little research has been conducted in the more established cultural planning contexts of Australia, Great Britain and the United States let alone in Canada to support the assertions that underlie much of the movement's continued success. In particular, there has been an absence of research on the actual outcomes of the cultural planning strategy. This article examines whether the wide range of strategic goals presented in most cultural plans are being met. The method for assessing the effectiveness of cultural plans involved analyzing which strategic objectives were implemented as recorded in progress reports and as reported on by cultural planners. The research findings show that cultural plans are being effectively implemented and the majority of strategic goals contained within most cultural plans are being achieved. In addition, it is observed that the strategic objectives being implemented are not limited to traditional arts sector concerns.  相似文献   

二战后加拿大土著民族自治政策的演变   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

高艳萍  丁见民 《廊坊师范学院学报》2003,19(1):89-92

加拿大土民族包括印第安人、因纽特人和梅蒂人,他们世代居住在北美大陆上。欧洲人来到新大陆后,土民族的权利日益受到侵蚀而不断被削弱,土民族为捍卫自身的利益,进行了长期不懈的努力和斗争。自20世纪70年代以来,土民族争取自治权利的斗争出现了很大转机。1982年,加拿大宪法以根本法的形式确认了土民族的“已有权利”和“条约权利”;1999年4月,加拿大第13个省级行政单位－－努纳武特的建立是土民族在自治方面具有重大意义的尝试。  相似文献

The case for democratic governance in Canada's community colleges     

John D. Dennison 《Interchange》1994,25(1):25-37

Although the tradition of bicameral governance is well established in Canada's universities, in no province do community colleges operate under a similar principle. In fact, there is no statutory role for college faculty in governance, either through a senate or a senate-like body. This article argues the case for greater democracy in the governance of colleges and, in doing so, analyzes the role of college governance. The conclusion reached is that, while more democratic and participatory governance may be argued on conceptual grounds, it would also improve morale, trust, and communication within the college sector.  相似文献   

Transitioning to a more sustainable society: unpacking the role of the learning–action nexus     

Joanne M. Moyer  A. John Sinclair  Lisa Quinn 《International Journal of Lifelong Education》2016,35(3):313-329

In recent years, action on sustainability has been highly influential around the globe and many now recognize the importance of individual and social learning for inspiring action and achieving sustainability outcomes. Transformative learning theory has been criticized, however, for insufficient development of the link between learning and action. The purpose of this paper is to deepen our understanding of the learning–action cycle among adult learners in the sustainability context. We consider this through insights from two studies in Kenya and Canada, utilizing a qualitative approach. Both studies employed semi-structured interviews as their primary data collection instrument and used other tools such as focus groups and journal writing. Three broad nodes of social action—individual, interpersonal and collective—are identified and defined based on the data collected. Results show that while all three types of action were evident in the outcomes of participants, individual social action was the most common and collective social action was the least. Barriers to applying learning in action are also derived from the data, including situational, personal, interpersonal, sociocultural and environmental obstacles. Factors that assist in overcoming such barriers include community support networks and skills training.  相似文献
