COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The course will examine the social environnlent of offenders through a criminal network perspective. The

course will emphasize

ho\v analyzing delinquency through net\vorks lenses can make theoretical and

empirical contributions to the field, most notably to the more general peer influence and co-offending

perspectives. The differences between the various forms

of netw'orks found in different offending contexts

(e.g. drug trafficking, street gangs, terrorism, organized crime) will

be discussed. Although students will be

introduced to social net\vork analysis, no prior knovvledge of social network analysis is expected or required

for successful completion

of this course.

competency of Faculty members teaching the course

Dr. Bouchard specializes in the analyzing the role of social networks in a variety of crime and

delinquency issues. He has published extensively in those areas over the past five years. He has also

successfully

taught a similar course as a Ifspecial topics" course in the past. The list of course he has

taught includes:

CRIM 104 - Sociological Explanations of Crime and Deviance

CRIM 131 -Introduction to the Criminal Justice System

CRIM 220 - Introduction to Research Methods in Criminology

CRIM 313 - Special topics: Organized Crime

CRIM 453 - Policing Illegal Drug Markets

CRIM 873 - Special topics: Criminal Networks

Both Dr. Davies and Dr. Andresen's research touches on criminal networks, with a focus on quantitative

methods and crime patter analysis that are essential for the course (which serves this course well as

students need to learn new software). Dr. Davies published extensively on the issue of neighbourhoods

and crime, providing

an interesting macro angle to the issue of social networks and social capital. Dr.

Andresen's research on crime patterns led him to discover the importance of co-offending networks in a

series

of recent publications. His expertise in crime analysis is extremely important for the purpose of

this course.

Dr. Andresen

has taught the following courses over the past 4 years:

CRIM 450 - Techniques of Crime Prevention II

CRIM 416 - Crime, Economics, and the Economy

CRIM 352 - Environmental Criminology, Theory and Practice

GEO 220 - Economic Geography

Dr. Davies has taught the following courses over the past

few years:

CRIM 220 - Introduction to Research Methods in Criminology

CRIM 320 - Quantitative Research Methods in Criminology

CRIM 413 - Terrorism

CRIM 861- Quantitative Research Methods in Criminology

CRIM 863 - Advanced Quantitative Methods in Criminology

Justification:

The basic research methods course in Criminology at the graduate level is Crim 860

(Research rvlethods I), which offers an overview of qualitative and quantitative methods

used in criminological and socio-Iegal research. This is followed by two more specialized

courses that offer broad surveys in the realms of quantitative research

m~thods

(Crim 861-

Research lVlethods II) and qualitative research methods (Crim 862-Research l\ilethods III).

The School's intention is now to have advanced courses within each of the Quantitative

(Crim 863-Research l\ilethods IV) and Qualitative (Crim 864-Research lVlethods

V)

domains to pursue more specialized issues of interest to our students and faculty. This

proposal deals with Crim 864; a separate proposal will be submitted regarding Crim 863.

Competency of Faculty members teaching the course:

Dr. Palys was hired to teach research methods courses in the Criminology programme and he has

done so for more than 25 years. Research methods courses he has taught over the years include

• Crim 220: I ntroduction to Research Methods in Criminology

• Crim 320: Quantitative Research l'vlethods in Criminology

•

Crim 321: Qualitative Research Methods in Criminology

• Crim 420: Advanced Topics in Criminological Research [specific offerings taught by Dr.

Palys have included

(1) Evaluation Research; and (2) Surveys, Interviews and Oral

History]

• Crim 860: Research Methods I: Qualitative and Quantitative Research Methods in

Criminology

• Crim 861: Research Methods II: Quantitative Research l'vlethods in Criminology

•

Crim 862: Research IVlethods III: Qualitative Research IVlethods in Criminology

• Crim 863: Research Methods IV: Advanced Issues in Criminological Research [specific

offerings by Dr.

Palys have included (1) Evaluation Research; (2) The University as

Research Institution: Case Studies

in the Sociology of Science]

Dr.

Palys has also published extensively in the area of research methods including papers dealing

with research methods, research ethics, assessment, philosophy

of science and sociology of

science. He is also the author of

Research Decisions: Quantitative and Qualitative Perspectives,

a book now in its fourth edition (published in 2007 by Thomson Nelson; now with co-author

Chris Atchison), which is used as a text in various disciplines in universities and colleges across

the country.

Two newly hired faculty members currently

at the lecturer level until they complete their PhDs-

Ms. Sheri Fabian and Mr. Barry Cartwright - will also be eligible to teach the proposed course.

Additional specialized equipment required

The University already has adequate resources in place with respect to library resources and

many faculty who have the

ski1Js to teach courses in qualitative methods. However, for this

particular course we have noted that

10 licenses for NVivo 8 software are required. While

software for the analysis

of quantitative data - SPSS, SAS, SYSTA T -- can be found in virtually

every computer on campus, qualitative software is not available

in

any

computer unless

personally acquired. We have determined that

the cost of 10 copies of the program (which would

be installed

in the Criminology computer lab) purchased outright would be less than $5000;

yearly costs for leased copies of the program (including

24/7

service and infinite upgrades)

would be significantly less than that. Teaching state-of-the-art courses

in qualitative research

methods requires the

School and University to make this relatively trivial commitment. The

licenses

wiJl

also be of direct benefit to students taking Crim 860 and Crim 862.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course is intended to cover the domain of what is globally known as "program evaluation", with a focus on the

types

of services commonly available in the CJS. Essentially that includes all kinds of research into program operations

and effectiveness.

Participants wiJI absorb the contents of a standard program evaluation text to gain an understanding

of the jargon, the world of program delivery, problem specification, methods, typical analyses, etc. Additional insight

will be gained by examination of case studies. Participants will be linked with a program to undertake two projects, a

smaller one (e.g. development

of a program logic model), and a larger one (e.g. completion of a program evaluability

assessment).

The exact nature of the projects will be determined by the circumstances related to participant preferences

and characteristics

of the program.

Rationale for Minor Course Changes:

Criminology 830

I

The change

from Law and Social Control I to Legal Studies I reflects our

view

that

Law and Social Control is a confusing and misleading description of course content.

Law is a form of social control (hence the inappropriateness of

It

and").

Additionally,

this course would not be focused on social control

as a heading of inquiry that is

separate from law. The description that follows simply updates the language of the

1970s to reflect our current realities. We remain committed to examining the role of

law

in both creating and responding to malleable definitions of deviance.

Criminology 830 II

Again, the logic is as above, with respect to the change in title. The differing list of

topics reflects the current interests of the faculty in the

School and notes,

significantly, that the list

provided

is not in any way exhaustive of potential areas of

inquiry.

Dr Gaelle Planchenault has studied both cinema theory and French linguistics,

which has provided her with extensive knowledge of the fields that she is

researching and teaching. Her PhD dissertation (Using Film Sequences in the

French Classroom: study on Sociopragmatic Awareness and the Choice of

Sociolinguistic

Variants in French Interlanguage, Birkbeck College, Cniversity

of London) investigated ways to use French films in the teaching of French as a

second language, in order to promote sociocultural and sociolinguistic

competences. The fact that she was trained in France as well as in the UK has

equipped her with a strong knowledge of French film theory as well as British

cultural theory.

Dr Gaelle Planchenault's current research is interdisciplinary in essence. She is

interested in the linguistic ideologies displayed in French films, as well as the

representations of the Other's language and body in French Cinema.

For nearly 15 years, she has had excellent opportunities to teach a variety of

film courses to adult students in further education and to undergraduate

students in higher education.

Jorge Calderon has a Ph.D. in French Studies. He has been

trained to study French and Quebecois literatures in the

context of cultural studies. He also does work on French

and Quebecois cinema from the perspective of cultural

studies, and is mostly interested in constructions of race,

ethnicity and sexuality.

Representations du personnage en transit dans Ie film

fran~ais

: Corps, Langue et

Identite en transition

Every voyage can be said to involve a re-siting of boundaries. The travelling self is

here both the

self that moves physically from one place to another, following

'public routes and beaten tracks' within a mapped movement, and the self that

embarks

on an undetermined journeying practice, having constantly to negotiate

between home and abroad, native culture and adopted culture,

or more creatively

speaking, between a here, a there,

and

an elsewhere. Trinh T. Minh-ha, In:

Robertson,

Get al. (1994: 9).

Durant

la derniere decennie, Ie personnage en transit a ete une source d' interet particulier

du cinema

fran~ais

: qu'il s'agisse de l'immigrant maghrebin ou bresilien, du migrant

clandestin, ou encore du

Fran~ais

en deplacement a

I

~

etranger. Que son sejour dans Ie

pays 'd'accueil' soit bref ou plus prolonge, ce personnage est toujours montre comme

un

individu en transition. L'exil qu'il vit pour des raisons diverses est vu comme un

revelateur identitaire : son corps porte parfois les traces de cette transformation, sa langue

est hybride, son identite entre de- et re-construction.

Dans

Ie cadre de ce seminaire, nous explorerons des notions en vogue telles que celle de

'cinema transnational' ou encore de 'cinema accentue' (Naficy, 2001). Nous analyserons

7 films

en nous concentrant sur la notion de migration et de voyage d 'une part, et en

reflechissant, d' autre part, aux rapports entre corps, langue et cinema.

You mentioned that Dr. Planchenault has personal copies of the films. The library

will purchase copies as well. It is good for the library to also have copies in the

event that a student must miss a class, or needs to view the film again. Other

students on campus may also benefit from adding them to the collection.

Please also know that before using personal copies of films in the classroom, Dr.

Planchenault must first check in with the library to ensure that the titles have public

performance rights. Otherwise, the films may not be shown in the classroom. The

person to talk to about this is Don Taylor.

He

can be reached at 778.782.5596 or

dstaylor@sfu.ca.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Regards,

Re: calendar description change

The Graduate Program Committee of the History Department requests the following 3 changes to the on-line calendar:

1.

In the section describing our Master's Program, we would like to change the text to read

FROM:

Program Requirements

Students complete 25 units including HIST 814 and

~

(five courses), defend their thesis prospectus, and write a thesis of

between 15,000 and 21,000 words. including footnotes (excluding bibliography).

TO:

Program Requirements

Students complete 25 units including HIST 814 and 815 (five courses), defend their thesis prospectus, and write a thesis of

between 15,000 and 21,000 words, including footnotes (excluding bibliography).

Rationale:

This appears to have been a typographical error introduced when we submitted changes to our program in

2008.

2.

We also ask that the following sentence be deleted from the calendar description of the.MA program:

The Deportment of French offers courses

to

help students meet the language requirements.

So that the text is changed

FROM:

Language Requirements

Students must demonstrate a reading ability in a language other than English that is acceptable to their supervisory

committee. Students proposing to study Canadian history must demonstrate an ability to read French. Ability is determined

by a time limited examination consisting of the translation of a passage of history in the particular language. A dictionary is

permitted. The Department of french offers courses to help

st~nts

meet the language requir-emeAA.

TO:

Language Requirements

Students must demonstrate a reading ability in a language other than English that is acceptable to their supervisory

committee. Students proposing to study Canadian history must demonstrate on ability to read French. Ability is determined

by a time limited examination consisting of the translation of a passage of history in the particular language. A dictionary is

permitted.

---

Rationale:

The French Department no longer has the resources to offer such a course on a regular basis.

3. The same text appears in the description of our PhD program and needs to be altered as well so that the text is changed

FROM:

Language Requirements

Students must demonstrate a reading ability in a language other than English that is acceptable to their supervisory

committee. Students proposing to study

Canadian history must demonstrate an ability to read French. Ability is determined

by a time limited examination consisting of the translation of a passage of history in .the particular language. A dictionary is

permitted. The Department of French offers courses to help students meet the language requirements.
