- ItemOpen AccessEthics in Action: Personal Reflections of Canadian Psychologists(University of Calgary Press, 2024-05-23) Bisson, M.A.; Sinclair, Carole; Djuraskovic, IvanaPsychologists face ethical and cultural intricacies in their work on a daily basis. Psychology graduate training and continuing education programs often focus mainly on common ethical issues and mainstream psychological services and settings. Although this provides a wealth of valuable information, it is necessary to look beyond the usual and mainstream. Ethics in Action brings together thirty-four psychologists and eight collaborating professionals from allied disciplines, including nursing, social work, psychology, first responders, and veterinary medicine, to share wisdom gained from facing ethical questions in real-world practice. These knowledgeable contributors share their experiences working with new Canadians, religious minorities, Indigenous communities, and more. They address issues of self-care, teamwork, collaboration, and interprofessional practice. They share the challenges that can arise when working within long-term care facilities, rural settings, equine-therapy settings, academia, and with people in unique circumstances. Structured around the four ethical principles that form the Canadian Code of Ethics for Psychologists, this book goes far beyond the basics, building awareness of the many complex and varied ethical issues practitioners may face. Each chapter includes reflection questions, challenging readers to better understand themselves and to prepare them to respond to complicated situations from an ethical perspective.
- ItemOpen AccessPrairies entrelacées: Tissage, modernismes et cadre élargi (1960-2000)(University of Calgary Press, 2024-02-15) Hardy, Michele; Long, Timothy; Krueger, JuliaAu cours de la deuxième moitié du vingtième siècle, un foisonnement remarquable d’oeuvres textiles novatrices s’est produit dans les Prairies canadiennes. Mêlant traditions artisanales, mouvements de l’art moderne et moderniste et approches théoriques, un groupe de créateurs d’origines diverses ouvrent alors un magnifique chapitre de l’art du textile. Prairies entrelacées, qui réunit certains des chercheurs les plus importants dans le domaine de l’artisanat au Canada, étudie les oeuvres créées par quarante-huit artistes entre les années 1960 et 2000. Ayant retrouvé et catalogué cette histoire oubliée, cet ouvrage s’intéresse tant aux artistes de la fibre qu’aux divers centres d’études et de production textile, s’attardant en particulier aux contextes de création de ces oeuvres. Chercheurs autochtones, experts des techniques textiles et des Prairies canadiennes proposent une plongée fascinante dans un mouvement artistique insuffisamment documenté jusqu’à présent. Avec plus de cent cinquante magnifiques illustrations couleurs d’oeuvres textiles, dont un grand nombre d’entre elles n’ayant jamais été photographié, Prairies entrelacées ouvre une fenêtre sur un mouvement fascinant qui, n’ayant jamais reçu l’attention qu’il mérite, encourage la recherche dans cette riche période de l’histoire de l’art au Canada. Poursuivant le succès de l’exposition itinérante du même nom, l’ouvrage Prairies entrelacées est une collaboration entre les Nickle Galleries de l’Université de Calgary (Alberta) et la MacKenzie Art Gallery de Regina (Saskatchewan).
- ItemOpen AccessProtest and Partnership: Case Studies of Indigenous Peoples, Consultation and Engagement, and Resource Development in Canada(University of Calgary Press, 2024-04-30) Winter, Jennifer; Boyd, BrendanThe development of equitable relationships and outcomes among Indigenous communities, resource development companies, and governments in Canada is slow and uneven. Protest and Partnership brings together expert contributors to ask what works—and what doesn’t—in these relationships. It explores what processes lead to greater involvement and control in decision-making by Indigenous Peoples and the establishment of mutually beneficial partnerships. Protest and Partnership presents case studies on a range of resource development sectors including oil and gas, renewable energy, mining, and forestry, drawn from regions across Canada. It presents a fine-grained analysis of institutions and processes, demonstrating how Indigenous communities work within and outside frameworks and processes established by governments and industry. It recognizes the persistent failure of Canadian governments to honour treaty rights and provide meaningful consultation and demonstrates how Indigenous groups, communities, and governments have engaged in self-determined resource development despite these ongoing failures. Offering broad lessons in the importance of co-management and co-governance, the autonomy of Indigenous Peoples, transparency and accountability, Indigenous economic security, and meaningful collaboration and engagement, Protest and Partnership is a thorough and careful exploration of the current state of consultation and engagement on resource development with Indigenous communities in Canada.
- ItemOpen AccessDeterrence in the 21st Century: Statecraft in the Information Age(University of Calgary Press, 2024-01-30) Ouellet, Eric; D'Agata, Madeleine; Stewart, KeithThe information age has opened a new front of adversarial statecraft. The past decades have seen the rise and refinement of conflict enacted in the world of information, with tactics including seeding disinformation, the theft of sensitive data, confusing or obscuring public opinion to forward specific goals, and beyond. Deterrence in the 21st Century asks how, and if it is indeed possible, to deter an enemy in the realm of information warfare. Setting the stage with an overview of key concepts of deterrence in the information age, the book presents new conceptual approaches and their possible applications. Bringing together some of the most respected analysts working today, Deterrence in the 21st Century looks beyond the technical aspects of the use of information and disinformation as adversarial statecraft to seek new avenues to deter the undermining of institutions and societies. Treating deterrence as a concept, a policy, a social challenge, and a series of practical solutions, Deterrence in the 21st Century presents theoretical approaches, conceptual analysis, empirical research, and content analysis. This is a thorough, thoughtful, and expert analysis of one of the most difficult and essential security challenges of our time.
- ItemOpen AccessRemembering Our Relations(University of Calgary Press, 2023-12-22) Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation; Trimble, Sabina; Fortna, PeterWood Buffalo National Park is located in the heart of Dënesųłıné homelands, where Dene people have lived from time immemorial. Central to the creation, expansion, and management of this park, Canada’s largest at nearly 45, 000 square kilometers, was the eviction of Dënesųłıné people from their home, the forced separation of Dene families, and restriction of their Treaty rights. Remembering Our Relations tells the history of Wood Buffalo National Park from a Dene perspective and within the context of Treaty 8. Oral history and testimony from Dene Elders, knowledge-holders, leaders, and community members place Dënesųłıné voices first. With supporting archival research, this book demonstrates how the founding, expansion, and management of Wood Buffalo National Park fits into a wider pattern of promises broken by settler colonial governments managing land use throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. By prioritizing Dënesųłıné histories Remembering Our Relations deliberately challenges how Dene experiences have been erased, and how this erasure has been used to justify violence against Dënesųłıné homelands and people. Amplifying the voices and lives of the past, present, and future, Remembering Our Relations is a crucial step in the journey for healing and justice Dënesųłıné peoples have been pursuing for over a century.
