Research Presentation: Getting to Excess (University of Regina)

Category: Other Event
Dates: November 14, 2014 - November 14, 2014

The Faculty of Business Administration invites you to attend a research presentation by Dr. Lukas Neville, from the Asper School of Business at the University of Manitoba, and Dr. Glenda Fisk, from the School of Policy Studies at Queen's University. Date: Friday, November 14, 2014 Time: 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. Place: Education Building, Room 623 Getting To Excess Presented by Dr. Lukas Neville (University of Manitoba) & Dr. Glenda Fisk (Queen's University) Abstract In negotiation, people are often counselled to set high aspirations for themselves. With a high target in mind, negotiators make stronger first offers, limit their concessions, and claim more value from the negotiation. But there are those who tend to take this advice to nearly pathological extremes. Personality psychologists describe those with a disposition toward demanding unearned and excessive rewards as being high in "psychological entitlement". Research has linked psychological entitlement to frustration, aggression, and conflict in professional and personal relationships. In a series of studies, we show that psychological entitlement can be a double-edged sword in negotiation. It increases negotiators' aspiration levels, but it also increases contentious approaches to negotiation, from fixed-pie bias to the endorsement of unethical tactics. Our most recent work is focused on developing interventions to mitigate or attenuate these deleterious effects.

Variations in physician practice: Quantifying the implications for total Canadian health care spending (University of Regina)

Category: Other Event
Dates: November 14, 2014 - November 14, 2014

Presented Dr. Kimberlyn McGrail, Associate Professor, University of British Columbia Every family physician in Canada is responsible for directing more than $3.3 million in physician, hospital and pharmaceutical spending each year. Not every physician practices the same way, with the implication that some physicians have larger "footprints" in the health care system than others. Research in primary care is starting to reveal differences in patterns of practice and resulting health care spending, with the ultimate objective of identifying associated differences in outcomes for patients. This event is in conjunction with the Western Regional Training Centre on Health Services Research. The WRTC is an innovative and collaborative initiative that supports the training of applied health services researchers across disciplines, sectors, and institutions, equipping them to address the research needs of a wide range of health care policy and decision-makers. The WRTC is based at six universities in western Canada, including the University of Regina and the University of Saskatchewan.

Specialists from the fields of History, International Studies, English, French, Psychology, Music, Film, Economics and Psychology will consider the influence and legacy of the Great War in a wide range of contexts. Approaching the war from diverse disciplinary perspectives underlines the profound and sometimes surprising impact of the war, as its influence reached from the Berlin streets to the Canadian prairies, from the musical stage to the graphic novel and from the artist's studio to the psychiatrist's couch. Installments of this series will be offered through Fall 2014. All lectures will be hosted in the Archives Reading Room of the John Archer Library at the University of Regina.

Philistines (University of Regina)

Category: Other Event
Dates: November 7, 2014 - November 7, 2014

Our first production of the season is Maxim Gorky's Philistines, under UK Director, David Zoob, and in a new adaptation by Andrew Upton. The play is fuelled by two of the greatest historical and cultural events of the 20th century: the impending Russian revolution and the arrival of naturalism on the stage. Gorky knew well the overwhelming pressure building up in Russia, and his writing grapples with the vast changes that were pressing inevitably into his society. When the play opened in 1902, there were riots in the theatre. Everyone could feel the fabric of their society tearing. Naturalism, dealing as it did with everyday characters, situations and environments expressed the idea that all lives mattered, that what anyone did and felt mattered, that it could become drama and could, in fact, affect the world. In Gorky's Russia, this mix was intoxicating and dangerous; it was theatre that did something in the world. It upset people; it made them think. That's what good theatre does and this production will make you sit up, take notice and ask questions about power, society, justice, and humanity.

Explorations in Public Ethnography: How Academic Research can reach New Audiences (University of Regina)

Category: Other Event
Dates: November 6, 2014 - November 6, 2014

Guest lecture by Dr. Phillip Vannini, Professor and Canada Research Chair in Innovative Learning and public ethnography in the School of Communication and Culture at Royal Roads University.

Public ethnography moves research findings out of the academy by sharing it with the public through a variety of mediums, such as video and performance. Dr. Phillip Vannini is a leader in moving public ethnography "towards reflexive, sensuous, interpretive, narrative, arts-informed, and more-than-representational qualitative research" (Vannini & Milne, 2014, forthcoming). He works on innovations in knowledge dissemination to make research accessible and available to non-academics and through a variety of media. Free parking in Lot 14 M area.

#3CL: Three City Link: Regina-Coventry-Gyumri (University of Regina)

Category: Other Event
Dates: November 3, 2014 - November 3, 2014

#3CL: Three City Link is a collaborative project linking Fine Arts researchers, artists and students in three cities: Regina, SK; Coventry, UK; and Gyumri, Armenia. Concerned with issues of peaceability and citizenship, the project brings into contact three cities with complex histories, given that Regina is a place struggling with the legacy of colonization and Canada's cultural genocide of Indigenous people; Coventry is officially designated an international city of Peace and Reconciliation related to its devastation in WWII; and Gyumri is a city recovering from the legacies of war, genocide and natural disaster. The aim of the project is to create a context where new forms of translocal dialogues can occur through creative interactions using online screen-based media and on-the-ground dialogues. For the duration of the two-week live-event, running November 3-14, gallery spaces in each city will host students as they create an unfolding dialogue of images, sounds, videos, physical structures, objects and stories in response to the question of how artists can shift the narratives of their cities beyond histories of trauma toward linked creative futures.

India at the Crossroads: The Meanings of Modi’s Victory (University of Regina)

Category: Other Event
Dates: October 30, 2014 - October 30, 2014

Presented by Vivek Dehejia, Professor of Economics, Carleton University In May 2014, the Indian general elections produced a generational shift in Indian politics, with the defeat of the incumbent Congress party and the election of the haratiya Janata Party, a centre right party with Hindu leanings, led by Narendra Modi who is now Prime Minister. Did Modi win as many believe because of his promises to jumpstart the Indian economy and because of voters' disgust with the corruption and drift in the last years of Congress rule? Is it because Modi's humble origins resonated with voters? Or instead were voters responding to Modi's social message and a resurfacing of Hindu nationalism? What does Modi's monumental victory mean both for India's economy and relations with the rest of the world? Finally, what does Modi's victory mean for Canada? Dehejia had the unique opportunity spend the entire election campaign season on the ground in India and will share his thoughts, analyses, and opinions on the questions above, and more generally on the course of economic policy reform in India since the 1991 liberalization to the present day and beyond.

Law Foundation of Saskatchewan Lecture Beyond the Criminal Law: What Local & Provincial Authorities Can Do to Regulate Sexually-Oriented Business Guest Speaker: Dr. Mariana Valverde, FRSC Professor of Criminology Centre for Criminology and Sociolegal Studies University of Toronto The proposed new federal prostitution law has attracted a great deal of attention, but few Canadians know much about the alternatives: for example, few know that Australia and New Zealand, though they have very similar criminal codes, have almost completely decriminalized prostitution. Also, it is not widely known that some Canadian cities have long regulated (through licensing) some sex work, in the form of escort services. This talk reviews existing laws and policies, focusing mainly on the common-law jurisdictions of Australia and New Zealand, and also goes over existing Canadian municipal business licensing schemes. It will be shown that some regulatory schemes have proven to be as problematic, for the workers and for authorities, as criminalization. But Canada - and especially its provinces, territories, and municipalities - is in an excellent position to benefit from what has been learned from the over ten years of regulatory experiences in other countries.

Installments of this series will be offered through Fall 2014. All lectures will be hosted in the Archives Reading Room of the John Archer Library at the University of Regina. The lectures will also be recorded and made available for download on the library's oURspace digital repository.

How Ottawa Mandarins Planned Canada's Post-World War II Peace (University of Regina)

Category: Other Event
Dates: October 17, 2014 - October 17, 2014

Presented by Peter Neary, Professor Emeritus and Adjunct Professor, Department of History, University of Western Ontario Soon after the Second World War started, Ottawa public servants began planning for the return of peace. In December 1939 a cabinet committee on demobilization and rehabilitation was formed, and on 1 October 1941, PC 7633 laid the foundation for a comprehensive benefit package for those serving in military uniform. As plans became reality, individual and institutional lives were transformed by a public policy initiative of unprecedented magnitude. The public servants who fashioned and directed all this paved the way to the golden future time of the 1950s, when Canada leaped forward economically.

Health Care Regionalization in Alberta: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (University of Regina)

Category: Other Event
Dates: October 17, 2014 - October 17, 2014

Presented by Dr. John Church, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Political Science, University of Alberta In 1994, Alberta replaced roughly 200 local health care boards with 17 regional health authorities. Over the next 14 years, this "new" Canadian approach to governance and delivery would evolve into an increasingly centralized process of decision-making, culminating in the creation of Alberta Health Services, a single organization responsible for almost all health services in the province. Dr. Church will discuss the policy influences driving this evolution and reflect on the resulting opportunities and challenges.
