This brief thirty-year history of Lexicons of Early Modern English, an online database of glossaries and dictionaries of the period, begins in a fourteenth-floor Robarts Library lab of the Centre for Computing and the Humanities at the University of Toronto in 1986. It was first published freely online in 1996 as the Early Modern English Dictionaries Database. Ten years later, in a seventh-floor lab also in the Robarts Library, it came out as LEME, thanks to support from TAPoR (Text Analysis Portal for Research) and the University of Toronto Press and Library. No other modern language has such a resource. The most important reason for the emergence, survival, and growth of LEME is that its contemporary lexicographers understood their language differently from how we, our many advantages notwithstanding, have conceived it over the past two centuries. Cette brève histoire des trente ans du Lexicons of Early Modern English, une base de données en ligne de glossaires et de dictionnaires de l’époque, commence en 1986 dans le laboratoire du Centre for Computing and the Humanities, au quatorzième étage de la bibliothèque Robarts de l’Université de Toronto. Cette base de données a été publiée gratuitement en ligne premièrement en 1996, sous le titre Early Modern English Dictionnaires Database. Dix ans plus tard, elle était publiée sous le sigle LEME, à partir du septième étage de la même bibliothèque Robarts, grâce au soutien du TAPoR (Text Analysis Portal for Research), de la bibliothèque et des presses de l’Université de Toronto. Aucune autre langue vivante ne dispose d’une telle ressource. La principale raison expliquant l’émergence, la survie et la croissance du LEME est que les lexicographes qui font l’objet du LEME comprenaient leur langue très différemment que nous la concevons depuis deux siècles, et ce nonobstant plusieurs de nos avantages.

Sustainability and the Civil Commons: Rural Communities in the Age of Globalization, Jennifer Sumner, Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2005, pp. viii, 179.As we are continually reminded, Canada is now an overwhelmingly urban country. Mythic vastness notwithstanding, most of its people and certainly its mobile “creative class,” presumed driver of the knowledge economy, live in major cities, whose policy requirements have captured a good deal of national attention in the past decade. By contrast, rural Canada has been reduced to the status of the space in-between. Its resource-based communities and livelihoods—farming, fishing, forestry—live with the downward price pressures of global commodity trade as well as the most intractable trade disruptions. Its public services and social infrastructure have been diminished. Aside from pretty places that have become recreational or residential enclaves, its population typically is declining and aging. Its widespread sense of abandonment so far has generated only inchoate, perhaps incoherent political responses. Meanwhile, the growing consensus among newspaper editorialists and think-tank policy specialists is that “dependent” and “unsustainable” rural Canada has been subsidized long enough for sentimental reasons at the expense of real needs elsewhere.

Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to apply network analyses to evaluate trends in the literature using a comprehensive search of original, peer-reviewed research articles involving human participants with sport-related concussion (SRC) published between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2019. Data Selection Articles were identified in a comprehensive online search using key terms to encompass all forms of SRC or mTBI and entered into a clustering algorithm (vosViewer). Each cluster (e.g., journal, institution, author, keyword) is named for the hub, or most highly interconnected individual node. Data Synthesis The online search yielded 6,130 articles, 528 journals, 7,598 authors, 1,966 institutions, and 3,293 keywords. The analysis supported five thematic clusters of journals: 1. Biomechanics/Sports medicine (n = 15), 2. Pediatrics/Rehabilitation (n = 15), 3. Neurotrauma/Neurology/Neurosurgery (n = 11), 4. General Sports Medicine (n = 11), 5. Neuropsychology (n = 7). The analysis identified four institutional clusters: 1. University of North Carolina (n = 19), 2. University of Toronto (n = 19), 3. University of Michigan (n = 11), 4. University of Pittsburgh (n = 10). Five primary author clusters were identified: 1. A. Kontos (n = 32), 2. G. Iverson (n = 27), 3. M. McCrea (n = 27), 4. S. Broglio (n = 25), 5. Z. Kerr (n = 16). In regards to keywords, central topics included: 1. Epidemiology (n = 14), 2. Rehabilitation (n = 12), 3. Biomechanics (n = 11), 4. Imaging (n = 10), 5. Assessment (n = 9). Conclusions The findings suggest that during the past decade SRC research has: 1) been published primarily in sports medicine, pediatric, and neuro-focused journals, 2) involved a select group of researchers from several key institutions, and 3) focused on new topic areas including treatment/rehabilitation.

The Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering at the University of Toronto has been working through the development of a continuous curriculum improvement process for the past two years. The main group working on this is the Graduate Attributes Committee (GAC) which is made up of faculty representatives from each department. In this paper and presentation we will describe the process we have developed. In addition, we will show examples of the materials that the GAC has produced. Of particular interest are the extensive rubrics that have been developed that can be used as a starting point for professors tasked with assessing the learning outcomes identified for the Graduate Attributes. Faculty have begun to customize these generic rubrics for particular assignments, and examples will be shown of this work. The development process has resulted in reflection and discussion on our curriculum. The development process has also led to reflection on the difficulties involved in assessing the Graduate Attributes and compiling the data we collect. These issues will be explored briefly in the paper.
