UNews - Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs /unews/organization/southern-alberta-council-public-affairs en U of L sociologist Kazemipur wins prestigious book award /unews/article/u-l-sociologist-kazemipur-wins-prestigious-book-award <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item even" property="rnews:articlebody schema:articleBody"> <p>Dr. Abdie Kazemipur, a 免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge professor of sociology and the 免费福利资源在线看片 Scholar research chair in social sciences, has been named by the Canadian Sociological Association (CSA) as this year&rsquo;s recipient of The John Porter Tradition of Excellence Book Award for his recent book <em>The Muslim Question in Canada: A Story of Segmented Integration </em>(2014, UBC Press)<em>.</em></p><p>&ldquo;I am deeply honoured to be receiving this award,&rdquo; says Kazemipur. &ldquo;It is very encouraging and energizing to see that my modest contribution has been recognized at a national level and I am grateful to the award committee of the CSA for it<em>.&rdquo;</em></p><p><div class="image-caption-container right" style="width:250px;"><img src="http://www.uleth.ca/unews/sites/default/files/UBC-book-cover-1.jpg" alt=""></div>In his book, Kazemipur addresses the question of how a peaceful and harmonious relationship can be forged between the Muslim minorities and mainstream populations in western liberal democracies. This has been one of the most pressing issues of the past couple of decades and has resulted in a large body of research. The bulk of the existing research, however, has been non-Canadian, non-empirical, and non-sociological; Kazemipur&rsquo;s book transcends this field of research on all three fronts. First, the book addresses the research question against the backdrop of &lsquo;Canadian exceptionalism&rsquo; &ndash; the popular belief that the integration of immigrants has been much smoother in Canada than elsewhere. Second, it relies on a vast array of both quantitative and qualitative data including nationwide longitudinal surveys, face-to-face interviews and participant observations. Third, it demonstrates the merits of using a sociological approach to overcome the shortcomings of the existing research, the bulk of which have their disciplinary bases in political philosophy, cultural studies, communication, religious studies, and anthropology.</p><p>Each year, the Canadian Sociological Association gives the award to a work that makes a distinguished contribution to the understanding of Canadian society. The work must be relevant to an issue Canadian society is facing and include solid theory, meticulous research, and clear language. The award, named after prominent Canadian sociologist John Porter, was created in 1980 to recognize outstanding published scholarly contributions to the advancement of sociological knowledge in Canada.</p><p>&ldquo;The award is the top award in Canada for a sociologist; it is the cr猫me de la cr猫me,&rdquo; says Dr. Susan McDaniel, director of the Prentice Institute and Canada Research Chair in Global Population and Life Course. &ldquo;We at the Prentice Institute and in the Sociology department at the U of L are justly proud to have a scholar of Dr. Kazemipur&#39;s stature among us.&rdquo;</p><p>He will receive the honour during the award ceremony of the annual meeting of the CSA at the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences 2015 in Ottawa May 30 to June 5. He has also been invited to deliver a keynote speech at the 2016 (CSA) conference to be held in Calgary.</p><p>Kazemipur will also be the featured speaker at Thursday&rsquo;s (May 7) Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs at noon at Country Kitchen Catering, located on the lower level of The Keg restaurant.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-group-format group_related_topics field-group-div group-related-topics block-title-body speed-fast effect-none"><h2><span>Related Topics</span></h2><div class="field field-name-opencalais-organization-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Organization:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/organization/prentice-institute" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Prentice Institute</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/organization/southern-alberta-council-public-affairs" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/organization/university-lethbridge" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/organization/canadian-sociological-association" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Canadian Sociological Association</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-person-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Person:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/person/abdie-kazemipur" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Abdie Kazemipur</a></div></div></div></div><span property="rnews:name schema:name" content="U of L sociologist Kazemipur wins prestigious book award" class="rdf-meta"></span> Wed, 06 May 2015 20:49:14 +0000 caroline.zentner 7187 at /unews Peers bringing message to campus /unews/article/peers-bringing-message-campus <div class="field field-name-field-op-author field-type-node-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" rel="rnews:creator schema:creator"><div class="view view-openpublish-related-content view-id-openpublish_related_content view-display-id-block_1 view-dom-id-2f9651c796dc71af7ab475d76007aae3"> <div class="view-content"> <div class="views-row views-row-1 views-row-odd views-row-first views-row-last"> <div class="views-field views-field-title"> <span class="views-label views-label-title">by</span> <span class="field-content"><a href="/unews/profile/trevor-kenney">Trevor Kenney</a></span> </div> <div class="views-field views-field-created"> <span class="field-content">September 27, 2012</span> </div> </div> </div> </div></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item even" property="rnews:articlebody schema:articleBody"> <p>One of the highlight speaking events of the fall semester will take place Monday, Oct. 1 when the 免费福利资源在线看片 welcomes Danielle Peers to campus for her talk entitled Interrogating Disability: The De-Composition of a Recovering Paralympian.</p><p>Co-sponsored by the Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs, the 免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge Office of the President and numerous departments and organizations on campus, this event promises to have wide appeal, as Peers&#39;s work is provocative, interdisciplinary and creative.</p><p>Peers is a Trudeau and Vanier scholar who studies the relationship between disability, sport and social justice movements in Canada.

An activist filmmaker, performance artist, former Paralympic athlete, wheelchair basketball coach and community organizer, Peers is a sought-after speaker. She is currently pursuing a PhD in the Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation at the 免费福利资源在线看片 of Alberta, and has been involved in research projects funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Sport Science Association of Alberta. Her academic writings have appeared in such scholarly venues as Disability and Society, Adapted Physical Activity Quarterly, and Qualitative Research in Sport and Exercise. Several U of L faculty members teach Peers&#39;s work in their classes on campus.</p><p>In her talk, Peers will weave personal stories, creative writing and critical disability theory to explore how the daily questioning and storytelling about disability serve to create certain kinds of disabled (and able-bodied) subjects. She will revisit her own experiences of diagnosis, Paralympic classification, basketball games, media interviews, conversations and internal struggles to consider how she has been composed, and has decomposed herself as a disabled Paralympian.</p><p>The event provides a valuable forum for intellectual discussion and it is an important opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as faculty and staff, to hear a provocative and engaging speaker who will challenge us all to think about the ways in which particular bodies are constructed as the &quot;Other.&quot;</p><p>Organizers of the event include Drs. Carly Adams (kinesiology and physical education), Jason Laurendeau (sociology) and Suzanne Lenon (women and gender studies).</p><p>The event is scheduled for 7 to 9 p.m. in the SU Ballroom and is free and open to the public. Following Peers&#39;s talk, there will be a reception with light refreshments.

April 24 read, Same Old Story.<br> <br> Was it really? Was this another automatic victory for the PC's? How did the Conservatives manage to win this one? Much has been made of the failure of pollsters and pundits to grasp what was happening - how did the Wildrose manage to lose it?<br> <br> Harold Jansen, associate professor of political science at the 免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge, will speak to those questions at the Thursday, May 10 Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs (SACPA) event at Country Kitchen Catering. Jansen's teaching and research focus is on Canadian politics, Alberta politics and political parties and elections with a particular emphasis on political party finance and the use of social media for political communication.<br> <br> What lies beneath the surface of the provincial election story? What do the various parties have to learn as they look back on this election? How has the Alberta electorate changed in the past few years and what did the outcome say about Alberta in 2012?<br> <br> Jansen will explore the layers and issues that affected the provincial election outcome, and what we need to understand about it all. He will argue that underneath the surface there has been a major realignment in the party system. What does the party realignment say about Albertans and our politics? What will the next four years bring in terms of federal-provincial relationships and what must each of the parties do to attract more voters in 2016?<br> <br> The event begins at noon and admission is

Affairs Thursday night, 7 p.m. in PE264.<br> <br> Should a Moratorium and a Full Scale Environmental Assessment Precede Any Further Development Using Hydraulic Fracturing? That is the question that guest speaker Jessica Ernst will debate.<br> <br> Ernst is an environmental scientist with 30 years of oil patch experience. Her career and personal experience make her uniquely qualified to talk about drilling and hydraulic fracturing. Ernst must haul water from outside sources because her well has been poisoned by unnatural and dangerous concentrations of methane gas and other industrial toxins.<br> <br> She filed legal action against EnCana (a large oil and gas company), the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) which approves energy projects in Alberta and the Alberta Government for their responsibility. In May, 2011 Ernst was invited to New York to present her case and to make recommendations to governments at the United Nations 19th Commission on Sustainable Development. On October 1, 2011, UNANIMA International, a UN Economic and Social Council NGO, presented Ernst with its annual "Woman of Courage" award in New York, at the Church Center of United Nations.<br> <br> Much of the general public know little or nothing about hydraulic fracturing (fracking), an increasingly popular, but controversial technique of drilling for oil and natural gas. Fracking involves vertical and sometimes horizontal drilling into coal bed, or shale rock using extreme pressure for the fracture treatments. Anywhere from 200,000 to 1500,000 liters of water and various stimulation and fracturing fluids, and from 75,000 to 320,000 pounds of propellant are consumed during a typical hydraulic fracture of a single well.<br> <br> Fracturing fluids can contain chemicals toxic to humans and wildlife, chemicals that are known to cause cancer. These include diesel fuel, which contains benzene, which in very small quantities can cause cancer and are capable of contaminating millions of gallons of water. Drilling chemicals can be more toxic than fracturing chemicals. The speaker will relate her experiences with fracking in her community of Rosebud, Alberta and her fight to bring the many issues associated with drilling and fracking to the public.</p> </div> </div>

By SHERRI GALLANT<br /><br /> An educational film with algae-filled Lake Winnipeg as its focal point appeals to farmers and city dwellers to change their ways and help the country&#39;s watersheds to heal.<br /><br /> Choking Lake Winnipeg, a 25-minute documentary available free online, was screened Thursday at Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs. Produced by <a href="mailto:byrne@uleth.ca" rel="nofollow">Jim Byrne</a>, U of L prof and Chair of <a href="http://www.uleth.ca/fas/geo" rel="nofollow">Geography</a>, and his wife, Leanne Little, it includes interviews with many of the nation&#39;s top environmental scientists, including David Schindler, Killam Memorial Professor of Ecology at the 免费福利资源在线看片 of Alberta, and <a href="http://people.uleth.ca/~joseph.rasmussen/" rel="nofollow">Joe Rasmussen</a>, Canada Research Council Chair in Aquatic Ecosystems at the 免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge.<br /><br /> An original soundtrack for the film was created by Stephen McGlenn, a U of L grad who attended COP 16 in Cancun &mdash; the United Nations Conference on Climate Change &mdash; as a Canadian Youth Delegate.<br /><br /> &quot;We&#39;re looking to change a political/social approach to the way we deal with environment,&quot; said Byrne. &quot;I went to some of my very favorite colleagues, Canada Research Chairs in many locations, outstanding and brilliant colleagues.&quot;<br /><br /> Byrne&#39;s expertise is in global environmental change. He was the lead scientist, originator and co-producer of the 2002 award-winning television series Global Change and the 2004 TV series Water Under Fire.<br /><br /> &quot;Our goal was to inform people in a qualitative way and let them know that not only do we have this very challenging environmental problem, but we have some suitable solutions if we just have the political will.&quot;<br /><br /> Comparisons can be made with conditions in southern Alberta, where chemical runoff from farming and manure from beef, chicken and hog operations makes its way into the Oldman River watershed. Farmers, said Byrne, can go to zero-tillage practices which holds moisture in the soil and doesn&#39;t allow erosion and runoff; while city dwellers can take steps that include conserving water, being aware of what they shouldn&#39;t flush down their toilets, and using less &mdash; or zero &mdash; herbicides and pesticides on their lawns.<br /><br /> The film shows how massive blue-green algae blooms have appeared in Lake Winnipeg and other water bodies across the Canadian prairies. Eutrophication (when water is depleted of oxygen by algae, killing the body of water) is fast becoming a problem; not just in Canada but in the most heavily-populated parts of the industrialized and developing world.<br /><br /> To learn more, visit <a href="http://www.scientia.com" rel="nofollow">www.scientia.com</a>.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-group-format group_related_topics

schema:articleBody"> <p>The 免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge's Dr. Michelle Hogue, co-ordinator of the First Nations Transition Program (FNTP), speaks at the <a href="http://sacpa.ca/" rel="nofollow">Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs</a> (SACPA) luncheon Thursday, Apr. 14.<br> <br> Addressing the question, Does Post-Secondary (Science) Education Set Up Barriers to Success for Aboriginal Students, the event begins at noon at Country Kitchen Catering.<br> <br> To date, there has been very little work done or literature available on the stories, the narratives of experience, of those Aboriginal individuals who have journeyed through post-secondary, Eurocentric paradigm-based Western education successfully.<br> <br> This is a critical missing (qualitative) piece in the literature.<br> <br> So much quantitative data and attention around the issues of Aboriginal success focuses on the lack of success, on Western education, on the negatives or deficiencies, on how poorly Aboriginal students do relative to non-Aboriginal students.<br> <br> Seldom do we hear how they have excelled, what has enabled them.<br> <br> In understanding the post-secondary experience of Aboriginal students, it is important to hear the story from their voices and from their perspective such that it will lead a better understanding of success rather than always focusing on the deficit.<br> <br> Hogue's research entailed collecting and evaluating the oral, educational, experiential narratives of perceived both "successful" and "unsuccessful" Aboriginal individuals who journeyed through post-secondary Western education.<br> <br> These narratives served as the raw data around her research, focused on answering the questions:<br> <br> 1) How did those Aboriginal individuals journey through post-secondary education, with focus on science, and succeed when most do not?<br> <br> 2) What worked for them?<br> <br> 3) What were their challenges?<br> <br> 4) How did they manage that space between paradigms?<br> <br> 5) How did they turn the "space between" from a "gap, border or roadblock" to a liminal place of possibility?<br> <br> 6) How do they exist in that space now?<br> <br> 7) How does their story, their experience serve to inform, enable and mentor others embarking on such a journey?<br> <br> 8) How can such success enable the voice and subjectivity of Aboriginal people for the future economic milieu and globalization?<br> <br> A M&eacute;tis from Saskatchewan, Hogue's recent PhD from the 免费福利资源在线看片 of Calgary, focuses on the success of Aboriginal students in Post-Secondary Education, with a passionate focus on the sciences. She believes post-secondary education is critical for Aboriginal students and it is the "New Buffalo".<br> <br> Hogue also believes that young Aboriginal populations are going to be the next leaders and professionals because, unlike the non-Aboriginal population, they live in and between both worlds. </p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-group-format group_related_topics field-group-div group-related-topics block-title-body speed-fast effect-none"><h2><span>Related Topics</span></h2><div class="field field-name-opencalais-facility-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Facility:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/facility/university-calgary" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">免费福利资源在线看片 of Calgary</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-organization-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Organization:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/organization/university-calgary" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">免费福利资源在线看片 of Calgary</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/organization/southern-alberta-council-public-affairs" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/organization/university-lethbridge" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-person-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Person:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/person/michelle-hogue" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Michelle Hogue</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-provinceorstate-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">ProvinceOrState:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/province-or-state/saskatchewan" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Saskatchewan</a></div></div></div></div><span property="rnews:name schema:name" content="U of L&#039;s Hogue at SACPA" class="rdf-meta"></span> Thu, 14 Apr 2011 16:54:04 +0000 trevor.kenney 3997 at /unews President Mahon speaks at SACPA /unews/article/president-mahon-speaks-sacpa <div class="field field-name-field-op-author field-type-node-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" rel="rnews:creator schema:creator"><div class="view view-openpublish-related-content view-id-openpublish_related_content view-display-id-block_1 view-dom-id-e8a3aae50549c855b7193f92b7cf0df8"> <div class="view-content"> <div class="views-row views-row-1 views-row-odd views-row-first views-row-last"> <div class="views-field views-field-title"> <span class="views-label views-label-title">by</span> <span class="field-content"><a href="/unews/profile/trevor-kenney">Trevor Kenney</a></span> </div> <div class="views-field views-field-created"> <span class="field-content">February 3, 2011</span> </div> </div> </div> </div></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item even" property="rnews:articlebody schema:articleBody"> <p>免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge president Mike Mahon asks the question, Is the Road Ahead Bumpy for Canadian Universities, at the Tuesday, Feb. 3 <a href="http://www.sacpa.ca" rel="nofollow">Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs</a> luncheon.<br> <br> Mahon's presentation begins at noon at Country Kitchen Catering (lower level of The Keg). Admission is $10 per person and includes lunch.<br> <br> As a result of changing demographics, enrolment rates are expected to drop off in Canadian post-secondary institutions soon. Unless universities find a way to fill the gap, the future may see a lot more empty seats in class.<br> <br> Currently, many universities are at maximum capacity, but over the next few years, enrolment numbers may start to decline throughout the system.<br> <br> Many universities are looking to expand their campuses and programs, because of maxed-out capacity coming from the large number of children that were born out of the baby boom generation. Those numbers peaked in 1991, which means the rate of enrolment is likely to drop, coinciding with the gradual decline in birthrates that occurred during the 1990s.<br> <br> While demographics may impact university enrolment, increasing gender inequality is certain to have a lasting effect on universities as well. Men now represent just 42 per cent of total enrolments. Moreover, their higher dropout rate means that they will represent an even lower proportion of graduates in the future.

For alumnus Perry Stein (BA&#39;09 Great Distinction), attending the 免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge was more like writing an entire book.</p><p>&quot;I grew up in the suburbs of Calgary and felt like an introverted student in high school. I didn&#39;t want to be that anymore. Going to school somewhere else gives you an opportunity to somewhat re-define who you are,&quot; says Stein. &quot;At the 免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge, I didn&#39;t want to be just a student who showed up for classes and then went home. I wanted to be involved in things, get the most out of my degree and have a really meaningful experience.&quot;</p><p>Intrigued by the diversity he remembered seeing when he went to school in downtown Calgary, Stein initially enrolled in <a href="http://www.uleth.ca/calgary/content/bachelor-management-international-management" rel="nofollow">international management</a> at the<br /> U of L. However, his excellent marks in another discipline garnered attention and soon led him elsewhere.<div class="image-caption-container" style="width:500px;"><img alt="Perry Stein" src="/unews/sites/default/files/main/articles/alumni-stein.jpg" title="Alumnus Perry Stein threw himself into an active student lifestyle and redefined his future."><div class="image-caption">Alumnus Perry Stein threw himself into an active student lifestyle and redefined his future.</div></div></p><p>&quot;After taking a couple of <a href="http://www.uleth.ca/fas/geo" rel="nofollow">geography</a> classes, I actually got a letter from someone in the geography department telling me I should consider geography,&quot; says Stein. &quot;I took a bunch of courses in urban geography and loved it, so I added a second major: <a href="http://www.uleth.ca/fas/urs" rel="nofollow">urban and regional studies</a>.&quot;</p><p>He excelled in his new line of study, culminating with him winning the 2009 Urban and Regional Studies Prize, one of two awards generously donated by the Alberta Professional Planners Institute (formerly the Alberta Association, Canadian Institute of Planners). It is awarded annually to the graduating urban and regional studies student with the highest cumulative grade point average.</p><p>Stein&#39;s personal redefinition was not limited to his academic performance at the 免费福利资源在线看片. Walking down the hall one day, Stein saw a poster advertising a one-month new media course in Romania. Another world was about to open.</p><p>&quot;I never really thought about travel before, but I was interested in expanding my horizons. Going to Romania was an incredible experience. It led me to everything I have done since,&quot; says Stein. &quot;I think it is really good for students to go outside their comfort zone and be thrown into a different culture, and to challenge some of the stereotypes that they carry around with them. It forces them to realize that the way of life in North America is not the only way of life and that what they think is best, isn&#39;t always best for everyone.&quot;</p><p>While in Romania, Stein learned he was accepted to a six-month cultural exchange program in Chile, through the Faculty of Management. His Chilean courses, offered in Spanish, focused on urban social geography and international management. One of the highlights of the exchange was a social work class that allowed him to take groups of marginalized children on field trips through their own city.</p><p>&quot;Chile was awesome. It was probably one of the greatest opportunities I have ever had,&quot; says Stein. &quot;I still have contact with a lot of the friends I made there. Working and playing with the kids was an incredible experience.&quot;</p><p>When he returned from Chile, Stein switched to a single major in urban and regional studies. He did several independent studies with Dr. Patrick Wilson that led to another exchange, this time to the Ecuadorian Amazon and to Quito Ecuador. Wilson introduced Stein to <a href="http://www.lpirg.org/" rel="nofollow">LPIRG</a> (Lethbridge Public Interest Research Group), who later funded further exchange trips for Stein, including one to Cuba. He eventually became a board member of LPIRG, organizing events and presenting documentaries on campus.</p><p>Stein, who will complete a master&#39;s degree in Latin American Studies in December, along with a certificate in development and sustainability studies at<a href="http://www.sfu.ca/" rel="nofollow"> Simon Fraser 免费福利资源在线看片</a>, believes that the opportunities he had at the U of L changed his life dramatically.</p><p>&quot;My time at the U of L really prepared me for graduate school. I learned how to create research proposals and apply for funding; I learned how a non-profit research organization works,&quot; says Stein. &quot;I would encourage all students to get involved in issues that you are passionate about. Get involved in activities on campus, find interesting projects and get involved in research. There are so many opportunities out there and if they aren&#39;t in your area of interest, create them.&quot;</p><p><strong>GET THE FACTS</strong></p><p>&middot; Stein played a role in establishing the Student Speaker Challenge in conjunction with the <a href="http://www.sacpa.ca/" rel="nofollow">Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs</a>.</p><p>&middot; Stein obtained more than $70,000 in scholarships and research grants while at the U of L, including the <a href="http://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/funding-financement/programs-programmes/fellowships/cgs_masters-besc_maitrise-eng.aspx" rel="nofollow">SSHRC Bombardier Graduate scholarship</a>, which was worth $17,500.</p><p>&middot; He has travelled to more than 20 countries to participate in fieldwork, including Chile, Ecuadorian Amazon, Quito Ecuador, Cuba and Mexico.</p><p>&middot; Stein&#39;s passion for urban social issues has him looking at a career in government. &quot;I would like to work in the area of sustainable community development and make a difference in municipal government,&quot; he says. &quot;I also plan on completing my PhD in the near future.&quot;</p><p>&middot; Stein won the 2009 Urban and Regional Studies Award as presented by the <a href="http://www.albertaplanners.com/" rel="nofollow">Alberta Professional Planners Institute</a>.</p><p><em>For a look at the full issue of the November
