Masterpieces of the B.C. Indian Oral Traitioh
In-this course we will examine a selection of B.C. Indian songs and
stories, and consider what qualities make them effective. We will
try to reconstruct the setting of their proper oral performance. Some
tape recordin,',s are available. We will also try to see to what extent
they constitute tribal moral history; pertinen ethnographic information
will bring us closer to the actual audience ofpre-white days.
Students will be graded on the basis of several short written
exercises and one major class presentation,
which will be written up
as a term paper.

Summer Semester
1979
THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF REGIONALISM IN CANADA
This course will comprise a combination of lectures (by me) and class
presentations of particular topics (by you). The theme that will hope-
fully
serve
to integrate lectures and student prsentations is the ex-
planation of the persistence and extent of regional identification within
Canada by individuals, interest groups and classts. The virtue (but also
potential liability) of an interdisciplinary course is to attack a subject
from different perspectives. You are invited to consider the problem from
the perspective
of constitutional law, regional economics, history, pol-
itical
theory, or any other upon which we can mutually agree.
Topics covered will vary according to subjects chosen for presentation,
but the lowest common denominator will be the history and contemporary
practice of federalism under the Canadian constitution, an examination
of regional economic disparities, cultural regionalism (especially with
respect to Quebec), and the importance
of
regionally based political
organization. (which will inevitably, given my interests, deal with the
nature
of
populist politics).
Requirements will partially depend upon size of enrolment, but at a min-
imum will entail one class presentation plus a. major term paper. There
will be no midterm or final examination. ?

THE 1CONOM1(',S OF DISCRIMINATION

tion, a critical examination of various
economic
theories--human capital
theories, liberal, Marxist
.
and Marxist-feminist discrimination theories--
derived to explain sex scgretation in the., labour force and/or wage dif
-
ferences between men and women. In addition, we will consider some more
sociological explanations: functionalist, exchange, and conflict theories.
Next we will "test" these theories by applying them to current data
on North American trends, historical material on Europe and North America,
and evidence on some de'veloping countries.
The course will consist of two one-hour lectures and a one-hour
tutorial per week. Students will he expected to read and discuss the
assigned readings, prepare two short critical essays and complete a take-
home final examination. The Final grade will he distributed as follows:
Tutorial participation: 25%

OUTLINE
Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as "Body
Language.." but non-verbal components in both human and animal
communication play an extremely important and complex role in
the establishment, maintenance and modification of social relat-
ionships. In this course, the nature and function of this role
will be examined in. detail. To begin, however, it will be necessary
to distinguish between verbal and non-verbal behavior and to outline
some of the theories which have been advanced to explain the emergence
of both forms of expression.
