Publications

  • Presbyterian Professor on the Prairies: President Walter Murray, the Co-Education Debate and the Role of Personal Faith in Creating an Inclusive University Culture

    Journal of Religious History

    In 1907, the government of the recently formed Province of Saskatchewan set down legislation designed to guide the creation of a provincial university in this newly settled western region. Within this provincial act, female students were granted equal educational opportunities to their male peers, but equal opportunity does not necessarily translate into co-education or wide-scale acceptance within a university culture. Walter Murray, the university's first president, chose to interpret this clause of the 1907 University Act in its broadest terms, and what resulted was a university administration that did not discriminate against students, staff, or faculty on the basis of sex or marital status. This article will discuss Murray's commitment to co-education and gender parity, and will examine how his personal background and religious convictions as a Maritime Presbyterian related to this progressivism.

  • ParticipACTION, Biocitizenship, and the Cold War

    Journal of the Canadian Historical Association (Accepted)

    Beginning in 1971, ParticipACTION fed on the ambient fear of the Cold War to coerce Canadians to perform their patriotism through physical fitness. This article will explore depictions of fat in ParticipACTION advertising and why these images, although prevalent in the 1970s, all but disappeared in the organization’s programming during the 1980s and 1990s. By employing bourgeoning social marketing techniques, ParticipACTION moved away from humourous depictions of the ‘everyman’ to the more effective strategy of ‘selling success’. In doing so, ParticipACTION entrenched an ideal of ‘Healthism’ that left many Canadians at the margins of this federally funded health promotion organization.
