SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY

DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY

To: Andrea Lebowitz,

From: Ian Dyck,

Chair, FACC

Chair, UGSC

Subject: Major Programme at UCFV

Date: 17 February 1995

The University College of the Fraser Valley has requested the permission of the

Department of History to offer a Major Programme to go along with its present

Minor Programme. The Department of History has voted overwhelmingly in favour

of the request, and to make it effective 1995-3.

RATIONALE:

The Department of History is of the view that UCFV can offer a well-balanced

programme, especially as of 1995-3 when a Major in our Department will require

only eight upper-level courses. As you know, the Department's curriculum is

divided into three streams or groups, with Majors being obliged to take a minimum

of two courses in each stream. UCFV currently has two instructors for the

European group (Gaston and Davis), two for the North American (Huskins and

Murray) and one for the 'Third World' group (the soon-to-be-hired Asianist). The

Chair of the UCFV History Department has received permission from the UCFV

Dean to hire a second instructor by 1995-3 to teach lower and upper-level courses in

group 3. This individual would be a Latin American specialist who would also hold

teaching and research responsibilities in UCFV's planned Pacific Rim programme.

Further, the UCFV Dean has recently confirmed that an additional instructor in

Canadian history (group 2) will be hired to instruct History 436 (the history of

British Columbia) in 1996-1. The UCFV History Department also hopes to hire an

early modern historian of eastern Europe by 1997.

Needless to say, the attached list of courses is not as varied as our own, but it strikes

us as remarkably broad for a small department of six (soon to be seven) faculty.

It is the opinion of SFU's Department of History that students in the Major

Programme at UCFV will be exposed to a sufficiently wide and challenging range of

courses.

I might also point out that throughout my tenure of office as Undergraduate Chair,

Dr. Jack Gaston, Chair of the History Department at UCFV, has shown an

unwavering commitment to academic excellence and to the importance of

maintaining a balanced and sensible curriculum. The two UCFV searches that I

have been involved in (last year's American hiring and this year's Asian) have been

no less rigorous than our own. Accordingly, the UCFV is fast assembling an

excellent history faculty that will do the College and SFU proud. A dividend is

already apparent in the fact that more UCFV students have registered in history

• ?

than in any other arts faculty.

SUBJECT: Proposed U.C.F.V. History Major

The members of my Department are unanimous in their desire to launch a history major

as soon as we have a sufficiently varied curriculum. A major will give our students the

opportunity to study history in greater depth as well as qualify to enter more graduate studies

programs. The number of students enrolling in history is quite sufficient to support the

additional courses required for a major. In the last two years more students have declared in

history for their degree than in any other arts discipline (for example, 104 students are currently

registered in history as compared with 80 in English and 72 in Psychology). But, as we

discussed recently, U.C.F.V. must develop an Asian-Latin American field, in addition to the

European/British and North American fields presently on offer, if we are to satisfy the breadth

requirement for a major. We are planning to make two appointments in the next year to support

this expansion. These additions will bring to size of the Department to seven faculty for

academic 19961'97.

Our Dean of Arts has confirmed that we will get the necessary resources to offer the

following courses during the

SUBJECT: Library Resources for a

U.C.F.V.

History Major

Attached is a memo from the library outlining the books, reference works and journals in the

library to support our proposed history major. These materials have been acquired over the past

three years to support new courses in the North American, European/British and Asian/Latin

American fields, the three required areas of study for a history major ( sample course

bibliographies are attached). Presently were are adding Asian and Latin American history. In

the first case, we launched survey courses in Chinese and Japanese history a year ago (taught by

a sessional instructor ) and expanded the library holdings accordingly. Now, with the recent

hiring of a full-time Asian historian, we are expanding the basic Asian collection to support

upper-level courses. A similar acquisition strategy is being employed to launch Latin American

history over the next two years.

"The cinema is capable

stirring the spectator as perhaps

no other art. But as no other art, it is also capable of

stupefying him." Luis

Bunuel

Anything will stupefy you if you submit toil passively. The

academic study of cinema is based on the idea that if you arc

going to be stirred you need to make an active response, and

that responding to movies, like all creative activities, improves

with practice.

FILM 110 and 120 are courscs in film appreciation, not

film production. The object is to discover not how to make

movies but how to experience them as richly as possible by

studying theme, technique, theory, tradition and so on.

Some classroom time will be spent viewing a selection of

short and feature-length films, and some will be devoted to

lectures on and discussions of the films and supporting

textbooks. There will be an opportunity to see each film twice.

"Economics comes in whenever more of one thing means

"Economics is the art

George Bernard Shaw

mankind in the ordinary business

life;

it examines that part of individual and social action

which is closely connected with the attainment and with the

use of material requisites

well-being." Alfred

Marshall

"The theory

economics

...is a method rather than a doctrine,

an apparatus of

the mind, a technique of thinking, which helps

its possessor to draw correct conclusions."

John Maynard

Keynes

The economics curriculum at UCFV includes introductory

courses in the Canadian economy and 20th century

economics, first principles courses in microeconomic and

macroeconomic theory, and post-principics courses in

economic devcloptnent, managerial economics, and money

and banking. The

Canadian Economy course (ECON 110) is

designed for students without previous course work in

economics seeking a basic introduction to economic

principles, political institutions, and policies from a national

perspective.

The economic principles courses are divided into

microcc000mics (ECON 201) and macroeconomics (ECON

202). ECON 201 is not a prerequisite for ECON 202, although

most students undertake the macroeconomics course after

microeconomics. The economics principles courses are

oriented more to introductory economic theory. The theories

•

are examined with a heavy reliance on examples and case

studies drawn from current national affairs.

structures, learning to analyze literature in genuinely

constructive and critical ways, and learning to write about

To:

Allan McNeill

From:

Re: English Major at UCFV

Thank you for meeting with our undergraduate Curriculum Committee

to explain your proposal for introducing English Major at U.C.F.V. The

Committee approves the proposal in principle but would like you to send

us an information package addressing issues raised at our meeting so that

it could be distributed in the department prior to the next department

meeting on February 2.

It would be very helpful in bringing the matter before the

department if you could a) write me a letter explaining the issue as you

did at the meeting, including the question of the current and future

relationship between UCFV and SFU, particularly the interim nature of the

arrangements, b) enclose a list of i) faculty with qualifications, ii) senior

courses offered, iii) arrangements to meet the current SFU requirement of

a course in Old or Middle English, iv) the frequency of course offerings to

enable students to fulfill their requirements, v) the adequacy of library

resources, and vi) the time-release arrangements for trading senior

courses and undertaking research projects.

Dr. Chin Banerjee 

Chair, Undergraduate 

English Department 

SFU

Dear Chin: 

Curriculum Committee 

Subject: Proposed UCFV English Major 

I have 

attached a copy of Dean Alderson's positive response to 

Dean Tunsta].l's exploratory letter on the possibility of UCFV 

offering majors under our current affiliation agreement. I am 

thus seeking approval from your committee and department to allow 

my department to offer a major as early as this fall. 

My colleagues in 

the English department are unanimous in their 

desire to offer a major in English as soon as possible. Our 

extended minor is enroling extremely well and, given the quality 

of

offered 

the education 

in Arts. Not 

at UCPV, 

only do 

students 

our students 

have petitioned 

want to pursue 

to have 

English 

majors 

studies in greater depth, but they also want to qualify to enter 

more graduate programs and other professional schools than they 

currently can with double extended minors. 

Of all the departments in Arts, we are best placed, in terms of 

personnel and breadth of course offerings, to offer a major this 

fall. presently, we have eleven full-time members in the 

department (one appointment is a joint appointment between 

English and Art History) as well as 4-5 sessionals. We are able 

to offer senior courses in all the major historical periods of 

English literature (with the exception of Old English and 

medieval studies), Canadian literature, and American literature; 

as well, we able to offer senior courses in composition, 

rhetoric, and literary theory. We will be hiring a sessional to 

teach Chaucer this fall, and, as part of our departmental five- 

year plan, we will be hiring a medievalist in January 1996 and, 

based on budgetary approval, a specialist in Victorian poetry and 

prose in January 1997. More appointments will have to be made 

before 2000 in order to meet our expanding student population. 

(Recent ministry figures indicate that we will receive funds to 

increase our FTE count from approximately 3400 to over 5000 by 

the turn of the century, a projected growth of 46%.)

We would like to announce an English major effective September 

1995, with the first graduates completing their degrees by April 

1997. I look forward to discussing this matter with you and the 

members of the undergraduate curriculum committee. 

Sincerely,

Dean, Academic Studies

University College of the Fraser Valley

33844 King Road, R.R. No. 2

of N.vembér 15 inquiring abclu.t procedure for

introducing majors at UCFV under our affiliation agreement. Internal

discussions lead me to the view that this is an entirely possible proceeding, but

that it will require our regular approval process at the Faculty, Senate and

Board levels, as stipulated in the appendix to our Memorandum of Agreement.

Because our Senate has at present approved only an Arts degree "based

-on two

Extended Minors" it will have to address extending the basis to a

disciplinary major. My own advice would be that you select one or two

departments on the basis of academic strength and strong student demand, and

where there is good chemistry with the SFLJ counterpart. Let the departments

work out appropriate

curriculum

requirements, which might include new

courses without exact SFU parallels. We would endeavour to take

departmentally approved programs through Faculty and support them at

Senate, together with the principle that additional departmentally approved

majors could be handled more routinely.

My own view regarding your suggestion of interdisciplinary majors is

that any such proposal should await the establishment of at least some

disciplinary majors. We might handle planning for such programs by

ad hoc

committee at the Faculty level before seeking approval of the relevant

departments.

I hope that these comments provide the information you want. I am

willing to be helpful in any way

that

I can, and I'm sure that Richard Schwindt

will continue to be a useful guide to the intricacies of our institution.
