Earle Birney was a Canadian poet, novelist, dramatist and professor. Born in 1904 in Calgary, Alberta, he spent his childhood in rural Alberta and British Columbia. His adult life was predominately spent in Canada, the USA, and the United Kingdom, although he travelled extensively. He died in Toronto in 1995. While Birney’s poetics were influenced by his academic training in Old English and Middle English, he frequently experimented with the avant-garde use of typography, orthography, dialect, and sound media. Following studies at the University of British Columbia, the University of Toronto, the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of London, he accepted a professorship in the Department of English at the University of British Columbia in 1946. His teaching led to the foundation of the Department of Creative Writing at University of British Columbia in 1965. In the same year, however, he departed to the University of Toronto to serve as the school’s first writer-in-residence.

Although not entirely neglected, the history of preschool reform and child study in Canada is understudied. Historians have documented the fate of “progressivism” in Canadian schooling through the 1930s along with postwar reforms that shaped the school system through the 1960s. But there are few case studies of child study centers and laboratory schools in Canada, despite their popularity in the latter half of the twentieth century. Histories of child study and child development tend to focus on the well-known Institute of Child Study directed by the renowned William E. Blatz in the Department of Psychology at the University of Toronto (U of T). Yet there were over twenty other child study centers established in Canadian universities during the 1960s and 1970s directed by little-known figures such as Alice Borden and Grace Bredin at the University of British Columbia (UBC).

Judging from the contrasting state of affairs at the forestry schools at the University of Toronto and the University of British Columbia, it is difficult to believe the situation that prevailed roughly eight decades ago. Today, UBC’s program is thriving whereas the forestry school at the University of Toronto is but a shadow of its former self. Exactly the opposite was true in the early twentieth century. Ironically, forestry education at UBC owes its existence to the profound commitment that Herbert Read Christie, a graduate of Toronto’s Faculty, showed to it in the years after the First World War. This article explores Christie’s role in building the UBC forestry school, and sheds light on the development of forestry as an academic discipline in Canada. -- En regard de l’évolution académique des écoles de foresterie de l’Université de Toronto et de l’Université de Colombie Britannique (UBC), il est difficile d’imaginer la situation qui existait il y a environ quatre-vingts ans. Alors que de nos jours, le programme de UBC s’avère florissant, les études en foresterie de l’Université de Toronto font piètre figure en comparaison de ce qu’elles étaient au début du XXe siècle où l’inverse prévalait. Il est ironique de souligner que le programme de foresterie développé à UBC, peu après la fin de la Première Guerre mondiale, est l’oeuvre de Herbert Read Christie, un diplômé de l’Université de Toronto en ce domaine. Cet article explore le rôle marquant joué par Christie dans l’implantation de cette école et de l’essor académique de cette discipline au Canada.

We propose a roundtable discussion on “Design for Inclusion” and how to integrate this concept into the undergraduate engineering curriculum. Designing devices and technology that benefit and are useful to all members of society and take into account diverse users' needs does not seem to be a common practice in industry nor in the classroom. We all know examples of devices that seem to have “missed the point” for large segments of their user base. We believe diverse teams are needed to brainstorm ideas from the start and to bring such products to market. The revolution in thinking needs to start at the source, where students are being educated. How can “design for inclusion” become integrated into our design education? The panelists who will discuss this theme will be: • Beth Kolko, Associate Professor in the Dept of Human Centered Design & Engineering, University of Washington, USA (confirmed) • Benoit Gervais, Design engineer, Principal, Futurescape, Ottawa (confirmed) • Elizabeth Croft, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, University of British Columbia (confirmed) • Li Shu, Associate Professor of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, University of Toronto (confirmed) • Sarah Shortreed, Vice-President, Enterprise Portfolio Management, BlackBerry, Research in Motion (confirmed) • Antony Hodgson, NSERC Chair in Design Engineering, University of British Columbia (confirmed) The panel will be moderated by Catherine Mavriplis, University of Ottawa. We invite the community to join in the discussion with the panelists. These could include representatives of Engineers Canada, the licensing bodies, other NSERC Design Chairs, Deans and Curriculum Chairs, professors and students, industry and government.
