ICEC Hosts Visitors from Hong Kongby N. Jacka

From February 21 to March 3, the hosted six visitors

from Hong Kong who came to the Centre to learn more about school effectiveness and school improvement in the Ontario context. Three members of the group were from the Hong Kong Department of Education and three were administrators in Hong Kong government schools. , ably assisted by , coordinated their visit.

Among the activities enjoyed by the group were presentation and consultation sessions with ICEC faculty and associates and OISE/UT faculty including

, and , full-day visits to five different types of public schools, sessions with personnel from both the Ministry of Education and EQAO, as well as a session with Gail Nyberg, chair of the Toronto District School Board. They also attended several of ' doctoral classes, where they heard from Andy about the emotional aspects of educational change and the sustainability of reform, from about assessment in Ontario, and from about the ways in which teacher unions can affect the educational process. Each of these activities combined to provide them with a much greater understanding from a variety of perspectives about how school effectiveness and school improvement play out in the educational context of Ontario.

They were genuinely pleased with their ICEC experience and left us with mixed feelings as they continued to Edmonton for further study.

Deanne BogdanFormerly a high school teacher, Deanne Bogdan received her Ph.D. in Educational Theory from U of T and started her career at OISE/UT in 1980 in the Department of History and Philosophy. Deanne is currently a Full Professor in the Philosophy of Education program in

TPS with a cross appointment to CTL. She is also a member of the Graduate Faculty, Institute of Women's Studies and Gender Studies at U of T. Deanne has served as Chair of the Women in Literature and Life Assembly, National (North American) Council of Teachers of English, and as Chair of the Committee on the Status of Women in the Profession for the Philosophy of Education Society.

Author of , and co-editor of ,

and (both co-edited with Stanley B. Straw), Deanne's work in the philosophy of literature education deals with the interrelationship between what we read, how we read, and why we read literature. She is a specialist in the works of Northrop Frye and feminist approaches to literary reading and pedagogy.

Deanne's research interests have shifted from literary studies to musical aesthetics (Her first degree was in piano performance and music education). This includes combining poststructuralist theories of embodied aesthetic experience with live musical performance in a way that deals with tensions between discursivity and non discursivity in the relationship among desire, autobiography, listening and performance.

Here she is forging a new genre, the "atelier". Its intent is to present a live chamber music performance with written text and accompanying multi-media in order to break down barriers between performers and listeners. She has performed the atelier twice and will be doing it again at Victoria University, U of T, in August as part of the conference of the International Society for the Empirical Study of Literature, and at McLaughlin College, York University, in the fall.

Deanne enjoys life with her husband and two daughters. Her husband and daughter Stasia are both architects and daughter Elisabeth is a design historian who teaches at the Southampton Institute for Higher Education in the UK. In her spare time, Deanne likes to play her piano and attend concerts in the city. She also likes to spend time in aqua aerobics class, her favourite form of exercise.

If you are interested in her work, Deanne's article entitled will be published in the

Summer 2000 issue of .

New Literary History

Jamie Lynn-MagnussonJamie is an Associate Professor in the Higher Education Group in TPS. After receiving her Ph.D. in Psychology, with a focus on higher education teaching and

learning, Jamie became an Assistant Professor of Education and Coordinator of the Faculty Development Program at the University of Manitoba. There she was involved in a number of initiatives, including coordinating the graduate program in higher education studies, participating in the development of a transition year program, and promoting equity research and development. After being awarded tenure at Manitoba she accepted a position at OISE in 1995.

Jamie is a founding member of the Biology as if the World Mattered (BAITWorM) Network, a national network of professors and graduate students in the natural and social sciences, women's studies and health professions who are committed to doing and teaching "science as if the world mattered". She is also a past editor of the .

Winner of the for the most outstanding

Canadian dissertation in the area of higher education in 1990, Jamie's current research interests focus on equity and knowledge production, especially as related to capitalist economic relations. Her recent writing on the topic of citizenship within pluralistic societies develops a neo-Gramscian framework to examine the role of higher education in expanding hegemonic discourses in an era of globalizing cultural and economic practices.

Jamie practices Goju Ryu, an Okinawan martial art form that blends concepts of external and internal energy movement for health and self-defense. She was awarded 1 place this year for her performance of traditional goju ryu forms in her division of the Canada Goju Ryu Association Championships in Toronto.

Focus on Faculty

Cecilia MorganCecilia Morgan is an Assistant Professor in the History Program in TPS and is cross-appointed to the History Department at U of T. Prior to arriving at OISE/UT in 1997, she taught in the History Department at Queen's

University. She received her Ph.D. From U of T and is known for her work on the gendered nature of colonial religious and political discourses in Ontario, women and legal education in Ontario, and gender and the state in British North America.

As a social and cultural historian of education in Canada, her research interests are in the areas of gender, colonialism, and imperialism; the writing of Canadian history at a popular level in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Ontario; and the links between gender, middle-class formation and national identities.

Cecilia has co-edited (Oxford University Press,

1999) and (Addison-Wesley, 1998). Her book,

(University of Toronto Press, 1996), won the Canadian Historical Association's Regional History Prize for Ontario history.

Her current work focuses on the image of Laura Secord as an Anglo-Celtic female symbol of Canadian loyalty and patriotism. Her work (with Professor Colin Coates) examines the relations of gender, imperialism, and national identity and their place in shaping historical memory. Their manuscript,

, is currently in press with the University of Toronto press. Cecilia is also at work on a collection of essays,

, which examines the creation and commemoration of historical societies, historical tourism in the Niagara area, and among the Six Nations at the Grand River.

She has also begun a new research project on Canadian travelers' tours of Europe and Britain, 1870s -1930s. The predominant themes in this project are the links between gender, national identities, imperialism, and the significance of historical tourism in developing nationalist and imperialist discourses. She has already begun presenting work from this research at conferences in Canada, Britain, and US.

In her spare time, Cecilia attempts both Pilates classes and gardening at home in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Focus on Faculty cont�d

Cecilia ReynoldsAs well as holding the position of Associate Dean, Academic Programs at OISE/UT, Cecilia Reynolds is also a professor in the Educational Administration program in TPS, an elected member of the Governing

Council and Chair of the Accreditation Committee of the Ontario College of Teachers.

Cecilia came to OISE/UT in 1999 after leaving her position as Chair in the graduate and undergraduate department of the Faculty of Education at Brock University. She also worked at Brock in the Faculty of Social Science as the Director of the Women's Studies program for a three year period. She has seventeen years of experience in elementary and secondary Ontario classrooms and has co-owned a publishing company, Reynolds Publishing Co. She received both her Ph.D. and her Masters degrees in Educational Administration from the former OISE.

Cecilia's research interests have developed from on-going concerns about equity and diversity in education. It has led her to investigate connections between the micropolitics of school cultures and the "macropolitics" of the society and school systems. Her research and writing draws on socio-historical and critical feminist perspectives of education.

Her past projects have included a skills development program for women in Thailand, research on mothers, daughters, and grandmothers across three generations, and a longitudinal study of novice teachers. Her most recent research includes new partnerships with independent schools to investigate gender and pedagogy, considerations of the "new" work of teachers and principals, and continuing studies on the aspirations and expectations of novice teachers in Ontario's shifting contexts. Cecilia has co-edited

and her book, is in progress and will be

released by SUNY Press this summer.

Cecilia has made the transition from Niagara to the big city and now lives in a downtown condo with her husband and son, a recent Computer Studies grad. Her daughter lives in London, England and continues to pursue interests in organic agriculture following her studies at Dalhousie in Biology and Economics. Cecilia doesn't have any spare time, but she loves to go to movies and is escaping to her cottage in the Muskokas this summer for an eight week writing leave. After an exciting stint on live TV this year, she is also thinking about future media gigs.
