Measuring the Mosaic
Author: Rick Helmes-Hayes
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1442698748
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 577
Book Description
Measuring the Mosaic is a comprehensive intellectual biography of John Porter (1921-1979), author of The Vertical Mosaic (1965), preeminent Canadian sociologist of his time, and one of Canada's most celebrated scholars. In the first biography of this important figure, Rick Helmes-Hayes provides a detailed account of Porter's life and an in-depth assessment of his extensive writings on class, power, educational opportunity, social mobility, and democracy. While assessing Porter's place in the historical development of Canadian social science, Helmes-Hayes also examines the economic, social, political and scholarly circumstances - including the Depression, World War II, post-war reconstruction, the baby boom, and the growth of universities - that contoured Porter's political and academic views. Using extensive archival research, correspondence, and over fifty original interviews with family, colleagues, and friends, Measuring the Mosaic stresses Porter's remarkable contributions as a scholar, academic statesman, senior administrator at Carleton University, and engaged, practical public intellectual.

Higher Education in Canada
Author: E. G. West
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
From the back cover: This study analyses the economic issues associated with the allocation of resources to higher education. Dr. West demonstrates that despite constant complaints of underfunding, the quantity of all types of degrees annually granted in Canada has been steadily increasing....Enrolment in post-secondary education, meanwhile, has been rising...The fact that costs have been rising at a greater rate than enrolment constitutes a leading problem. Chapter 3 produces a systematic estimate of productivity in university teaching. The results are unimpressive when compared with the productivity records of other service industries....Policies that would encourage increased competition include the raising of student fees (which is justified in any case on grounds of equity), the deregulation of provincial tuition structures and the channeling of federal funds directly to students in the form of grants spendable exclusively on higher education.
