The Restless City The Birth of Modern Philosophy

Sessions: 2 Date: Tuesdays February 5 and 12 Time: 12:00 – 1:50 pm Course Fee: $15 Location: Richmond Campus Room 2550A Facilitator: Jean Garnett, 604.277.1130 jeangarnett@shaw.ca Please Register By: Tue Jan 29 – To register, see page 43 Guest Presenter: John Rose, PhD

Metropolitan Vancouver: Past, Present, and FutureIn 1941 the population of metropolitan Vancouver stood at 409,318; by 2011 this regional population had reached 2,313,328 — an almost six-fold increase in seventy years. Over this time span a profound restructuring – of the economic base, population distribution, social composition, and built landscape of the metropolitan area – has likewise taken place. This is a transformation we have all experienced, in varying ways and degrees, as residents of this city-region. Come and explore this period of metropolitan Vancouver in further depth, as we survey the development of the city since 1941 and link changes in the region with decisions and processes operating at a range of geographic scales: local, provincial, national, continental, and global. We will conclude with a speculative look forward at what metropolitan Vancouver might look like fifty years from now. A lifelong resident of metropolitan Vancouver, Dr. John Rose has spent many years exploring the city, both ‘on foot’ and ‘on paper’. Since 2002, he has been a human geography instructor in the Department of Geography at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. His past research has examined the reception of recent immigrants in Richmond and Surrey, and their participation in the political process. He is currently engaged in research examining the phenomenon of gentrification in metropolitan Vancouver suburbs.

Something momentous happened in the intellectual firmament as the 16th century turned into the 17th: the Earth moved. Copernicus’ new view of the solar system precipitated equally radical changes in physics, metaphysics, and religion. Emerging from the so-called Dark Ages, this was surely a new dawn, raising issues about which we are still, in fact, arguing.Of course the astronomical picture changed. The ancient Ptolemaic system was replaced by our current system. Closer examination, however, reveals this to have been a less than rational process, with interesting intermediate stages. This new astronomy also required a new physics, and this in turn required a rethinking of the very basic constituents of science; a new metaphysics, in fact, was necessary. And religious views of the most fundamental stripe needed re-examination. Could God still be “up there” if there was no more “up”? Could our meager existence on this insignificant planet yet be of interest to the Deity?Employing examples from Galileo, Descartes, Newton and others, Dr Katz will outline the paradigm shift that marks the birth of Modern Philosophy (and much else we call “modern”.)Jonathan Katz teaches Philosophy at Kwantlen. Besides the philosophy of science, his interests include metaphysics and the philosophy of religion, with papers published in all three areas.

A couple of times over the past few years, some knowledgeable and enthusiastic TALK participants met with Applied Communications Department Instructor David Ingre to talk about the English language. Rumour has it that “a good time was had by all”. TALK has again invited David to spend a couple of hours each on a Friday and Saturday morning, offering for discussion some tidbits and curiosities about one of his favourite languages.David is again hoping to spend time on aspects of our language with people who speak it with pleasure, understand it with a tad of tolerance, write it with the respect of those who have read it at its most powerful, and enjoy it with the delight of an eager student—which, of course, is how he sees himself.David is planning to let the contributions of the participants influence the direction and even the specific content of the course. Nonetheless, he hopes to introduce topics ranging from the bow-wow theory to Canadianisms, from etymological triplets to euphemisms, from folk etymology to the meaning of Jabberwocky, and from bureaucratese to txtng.Please attend, and help this otherwise staid and stodgy School of Business instructor have another relatively good time. (You might have fun, too…)

Skills Shortages in Trades and TechnologyCanada’s western provinces are already finding it hard to get workers with skills in high demand. And the situation is only going to worsen in the next ten years as the economy of British Columbia will have nearly 1 million new jobs. This session will include information about critical skills shortages and the training Kwantlen offers. A tour of Kwantlen’s Cloverdale Campus is included. A great information session to take prior to the Skills Canada Competitions to be held on the Cloverdale Campus in March.Kwantlen Polytechnic University offers several apprenticeship, entry-level trades training (ELTT), technical career programs and technology programs. The trades and technology programs allow for multiple entry and exit points.Henry Reiser is the new Dean of Trades and Technology at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

History of Nursing Film Study

Sessions: 1 Date: Tuesday February 19 Time: 12:00 – 1:50 pm Course Fee: $10 Location: Richmond Campus Room 2550A Facilitator: Bonny Amor, 604.833.2439 bonny.amor@telus.net Please Register By: Tue Feb 12 – To register, see page 43 Guest Presenter: Sheila Rankin Zerr

The History of Nursing through its UniformsThe study of attire worn by nurses throughout the ages reveals a great deal about their struggle for professional status. This lively presentation addresses nursing attire from the 1600s to the present day and includes a fashion show of previous uniforms. The nursing costumes are part of a collection developed for the BC History of Nursing Society by Sheila. Many are authentic and have been worn and donated by nurses who practiced in hospital, public health and military service. The nursing uniform and cap, from the 1870s to 1970s, was a badge of honour that gave the nurses a sense of pride in their profession. The 1970s brought considerable change in the uniform as nurses sought comfortable attire and as institutions could no longer provide laundry services. The nurse’s cap identified the nurse and the origins of their educational program. It was discontinued in the 1970s to the regret of the public. Today nurses are mainly attired in serviceable “scrubs”. There is great nursing and public interest in having the current uniform clearly identify the nurse.Sheila Rankin Zerr is an Adjunct Professor at the School of Nursing, UBC. She is an RN and has a BSc in Public Health Nursing and a MEd in Psychopedagogy of the School Aged Child. Previously, she has been a Course Content Specialist and Instructor for courses in Issues in Professional Nursing and Leadership and Management in Health Care at UBC.

Aspects of Canada and Canadian LiteratureFri Feb 22: Literature and the different regions of CanadaIn this session, we will explore your knowledge of the different regions of Canada through your travels and living experiences, and show how a number of those impressions relate to the literature set in those regions. In our reflection on the regions, we will examine small passages from Atlantic Canada, Quebec, Ontario, the Prairie Provinces and British Columbia that give us a sense of the complexity of the country, its geography and its cultures.

Fri Mar 1: Comments by and about Canada’s Aboriginal CommunityThis session will examine the history of Canada’s Aboriginal community since the European conquest and show how, through examining the literature of and about the Aboriginal community, the culture of the peoples has survived and dealt with new Canadians, and how the literature of the communities still reflects a strong sense of Native culture as well as reflecting a strong stance on the position of the community within the complex of the modern Canadian state.

Fri Mar 8: Moving to Canada: Chinese Canadian PerspectivesAlthough the first Chinese settled in numbers in Canada around the middle of the 19th century, it was not until the period after the Second World War that the community began to publish writing in English about its experiences. This session will examine the historic and political elements related to the settlement of the Chinese in Canada and the cause-effect relationship between that settlement pattern and the literature in English that has come out of the community.Al Valleau has taught in the post-secondary system in BC, Alberta, and Quebec, and has been involved in Canadian Studies, both as an instructor and programme chair, as well as chairing Kwantlen’s English department.

Did you know? March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness MonthThis presentation is an opportunity to learn about Canada’s second leading cause of cancer death, a preventable, treatable and beatable disease IF caught in the earliest stages. What is colorectal cancer? How can we detect it and what happens after a diagnosis? Presented with a sense of humour (given the nature of the location) to help encourage talking about it with your doctor and perhaps even saving a life or two.Someone once said that, “Laughter is the best medicine”. It is with a touch of humour that our presenter Debbie Imada, a young survivor, chooses to share her story. She was diagnosed in September 2008 with Stage 3 rectal cancer (to which Farrah Fawcett lost her life). She underwent various treatments and recovery over a two year period following her diagnosis, which resulted in a strong desire to help others learn about it by heightening awareness.She encourages everyone to take the opportunity to understand this “hush-hush” type of cancer and to receive some form of screening. Her goal is to greatly lessen the number of deaths by sharing her message from her personal experience. She welcomes you to come enjoy her story, have a laugh and learn about this silent killer. There may even be time to play a few games which are appropriately named for the occasion. Now you’re interested, right?

The Day the Universe Changed Gambling: Fun or Addiction?

Sessions: 2 Date: Tuesdays March 5 & 12 Time: 2:00 – 3:50 pm Course Fee: $15 Location: Richmond Campus Room 3080 Facilitator: Mary Phillips, 604.271.8794 mmphillips52@telus.net Please Register By: Tue Feb 26 – To register, see page 43 Guest Presenter: Peter Robbins

Tue Mar 5: The Copernican RevolutionAstronomy, early 1600’s: Galileo’s use of a telescope leads to the discovery of the moons of Jupiter, the rings of Saturn, sunspots, craters and mountains on the moon, the phases of Venus and the detailed composition of the Milky Way. All of this is written up in The Starry Messenger. Copernicus’ heliocentric model of the solar system is confirmed, the telescope becomes the primary tool of astronomy, scientific findings are distributed more widely, and experiment and observation becomes central to science in general.

Tue Mar 12: The Cosmic Distance Scale and the Discovery of Other GalaxiesAstronomy, early 1900’s: Larger telescopes, and the cameras and spectroscopes attached to them, provide evidence that the Milky Way is just one galaxy among many, and that the universe is much, much, much bigger than we imagined. Edwin Hubble and others use the red-shifted light from distant galaxies to measure the size and age of the universe, and discover the Big Bang. The universe is therefore not constant and unchanging: it has a beginning, a direction, and possibly an end.Back by popular demand! Peter Robbins teaches Human Biology, Physics, and Mathematics at Kwantlen. Initially trained as a geologist, he maintains a keen interest in the earth sciences. Peter has presented several excellent TALK courses in the past. He plans a “Day the Universe Changed” series over the next few years on other scientific discoveries (or even individual experiments) that had profound implications for our view of the world. He’s interested in exploring how scientists’ thinking changed, and how that was transmitted to the rest of the world.

Emotional Self-Management

Sessions: 3 Date: Mondays March 18, 25 and April 8 Time: 12:00 – 1:50 pm Course Fee: $22.50 Location: Richmond Campus Room 2150 Facilitator: Marg Edmonds, 604.272.8100 Cell: 604.644.0307, margedmonds@shaw.ca Please Register By: Mon Mar 11 – To register, see page 43 Guest Presenter: Phillip Warren

Emotional Self Management is a major component in the Success Over Distress program. The Quick Coherence Technique is one of the simplest and most effective approaches available. All of the approaches act as first aid for psycho-physiological distress (i.e. CPR for distress). The ease of use of these seemingly simple techniques is deceptive. Using most of them will result in instant relief in your life. These techniques cost no money, take very little time, and don’t require special circumstances or settings or equipment.Certain techniques, with sincere consistent practice, will be life changing. You will be much calmer when encountering distressful situations. However, as they say about the game of GO, you can learn it a few hours but mastery will involve a lifetime. With consistent practice, though, you can maintain your psychophysical balance and coherence so that you will be much more successful in handling “the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune”.Class members will receive a copy of the brief overview of Phil’s research in the document A Success Over Distress training program (also on his website www.REBprotocol.net) plus copies of the Quick Coherence Technique and Simple fast and immediate stress management and reduction techniques. The methods contained in these manuals involve powerful approaches in a compact and user friendly package.

Mon Mar 18Review of the A Success Over Distress Training Program paper and importance of a coherent heart in psycho-physical health. Class members will practice using The Quick Coherence Technique on a life issue of their own choosing.Tue Mar 12: The Cosmic Distance Scale and the Discovery of Other Galaxies

Mon Mar 25Review and discussion of the methods described in the Simple fast and immediate stress management and reduction techniques paper. Since the time is limited, we will only touch on these techniques with a brief practice. More in depth practice and discussion will take place on the third session. Participants are asked to try all the techniques in their lives and then report back in the third session, two weeks later.

Mon Apr 8In depth practice and discussion of all the techniques introduced in the course. An exercise on mindful eating will introduce participants to this approach to life. Future planning on what techniques participants find most useful and how to incorporate them into their lives.Phillip Warren is a Professor Emeritus (psychology and music) Kwantlen Polytechnic University. In addition to developing the Radiant Energies Balance Protocol, he has developed several other programs for personal and professional development, presented at several conventions in North America and conducted many workshops in the field of energy kinesiology for university personnel, counsellors and therapists, life skills coaches, and the general public.

Light Rail for the Fraser ValleyBetween 1910 and 1950 Fraser Valley residents were able to travel from Chilliwack via Abbotsford, Langley Township, Langley City, Cloverdale, Sullivan, Newton, Kennedy and Delta to downtown Vancouver. This passenger service was key to developing the communities that we see today. This session will explore elements of the past and seek to determine whether the introduction of Light Rail Transit to these same communities, and many more, will again serve to strengthen the Fraser Valley economy and provide much needed transit options for today’s residents.Peter Holt is a Senior Partner with the PraxisPoint Consulting Group and is an experienced moderator of Metro Vancouver’s regional sustainability dialogues. Prior to that he was the Executive Director of the Surrey Board of Trade. Holt is a Chartered Engineer and former British Royal Navy engineering officer who emigrated from the UK in 1987.

Tue Mar 26: What is Human Subjects Research? Experiences of Health Research ParticipantsHave you ever been or thought about becoming a research subject in a clinical trial, a study of a chronic condition or other health research study? Each year hundreds of thousands of people around the world agree to serve as “guinea pigs” in order to advance health research. Why do people decide to volunteer as research participants? What are the experiences of health research subjects? What are the responsibilities of health care researchers and of research participants? What safeguards are in place for research participants? Should health researchers be trusted? These are some of the issues that Dr. McDonald and his colleagues have explored in their six-year study, “Centring the Human Subject: Understanding the Meaning and Experience of Health Research Participation”. This is an opportunity for you to find out about and share your experiences as a research subject.Dr. Michael McDonald is Professor Emeritus of Applied Ethics and served as the founding Director of the W. Maurice Young Centre for Applied Ethics at UBC. Before coming to UBC in 1990, McDonald was a member of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Waterloo.

Tue Apr 2: Medication Mythbusting: Information you really need to know to help you make decisions about your medicationsObjectives of this session will be: 1) To appreciate that healthy skepticism is essential when it comes to making decisions about your health. 2) To understand that modern medicine still has many myths that are not true. 3) To appreciate that the magnitude of the benefit of therapies is often less than you may have thought. 4) To realize that the decision to take any medication is your decision and that no matter what decision you make, as long as you are aware of the benefits and the risks, it is correct.Dr. James McCormack is a Professor in the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at UBC. He has had extensive local and international experience talking to health professionals and consumers about the rational use of medication and has presented over 300 seminars on drug therapy.

Sessions: 4 Date: Tuesdays April 9, 16, 23 & 30 Time: 2:00 – 3:50 pm Course Fee: $30 Location: Richmond Campus Room 3080 Facilitator: Jean Garnett, 604.277.1130 jeangarnett@shaw.ca Please Register By: Tue Apr 2 – To register, see page 43 Guest Presenter: Ariadne Bursewicz

Eat this, and die in spirit; don’t eat it, and die in body. Which would you choose? This is one dilemma of Sacred Food laden with meanings far beyond the physical necessities of survival. All religions use food to convey intricate webs of values and concepts that extend human relationships into other states of being. As the tangible vehicle that integrates values, ideas and experiences, food bears immeasurable importance, far beyond physical requirements. How is food the perfect support for all this non-physical meaning? How do people manage the dilemmas of Sacred Food? Four cultural patterns will be investigated.

Tue Apr 9: Huichol of North West MexicoAnciently, the Huichol were hunters. Once moved far west, they became subsistence maize farmers. Scraping their crops from inhospitable mountains, the Huichol integrate past and present, physical and spiritual, through their Maize, Deer and Peyote Complex of subsistence and pilgrimage.

Tue Apr 16: Ancient Celtic ReligionThe ancestors of modern Celtic speakers spread through Europe to the west coast of Ireland and the Outer Hebrides. Their descendants retained many customs and beliefs despite the incursions of Germanic speaking peoples and, later, Christianity. Archaeology, Roman descriptions and surviving customs are put together to form an absorbing picture of Celtic uses of Sacred Food.

Tue Apr 23: East African Cattle PastoralistsMost people are not real humans, because they don’t have cattle. East African cattle pastoralists believe that humans and cattle were created for each other. Humans live primarily on the milk from their cattle. How much meaning is placed on this milk? On other foods? Extensive twentieth century fieldwork opens windows onto the meanings invested in cattle and milk.

Tue Apr 30: Mediaeval Western ChristianityAs Christianity spread, many ideas and beliefs about food were incorporated, both deliberately and unconsciously. Older meanings were blended with the new religion, and older foods gained new layers of significance. Mediaeval Christianity in Western Europe shows how several traditions blended seamlessly into a working whole.Educated in Scotland, Canada, and England, Ariadne Bursewicz has degrees in Zoology and Anthropology. She has carried out cultural fieldwork among the Blackfoot and the Haida, and has excavated in the Crow’s Nest Pass, the Cypress Hills, and the Medicine Hat area. During thirty-seven years as an Anthropology instructor at Langara College, she developed new courses in Prehistory of the Mediterranean, Anthropology of Religion, and Myth, Legend and Folklore, as well as teaching basic courses in Cultural and Physical Anthropology, Old World Archaeology and Cultures of North America. Ariadne presented the excellent course on Mythology in the Social World for TALK last year.

Anatomy and Physiology – in layman’s termsWhat is your family physician listening for when he takes his cold stethoscope and lays it on your chest? What is the doctor feeling for when she palpates your abdomen? What does it mean if your blood pressure is 120/80? What blood tests are being ordered and what do they indicate? What is inside your body, how does it work, what and where are all your organs and what do they do for you?These are some of the questions we will answer. Have your blood pressure taken, study a life size skeleton to see how your body supports itself, view and touch a molded plastic human torso with removable organs, and listen to audio tapes that explain heart, lung and bowel sounds. Discover your body in layman’s terms. Find out about the things you always wanted to know but were too shy to ask!Back by popular demand!

Touring the Baja Bard on the Beach

Sessions: 1 Date: Thursday April 25 Time: 2:00 – 3:50 pm Course Fee: $10 Location: Surrey Campus, Main Building Room 2810 Facilitator: Eileen Fuller, 604.541.1870 refuller@hotmail.com Please Register By: Thu Apr 18 – To register, see page 43 Guest Presenter: Dan Goy

Baja California, Mexico• I thought California was in the United States? • Where is it? What is it? How do you get there? What can I do there? • Why would I take my RV there? Is this not dangerous?Join Dan Goy of Baja Amigos RV Caravan Tours for a virtual tour of Baja California Mexico from San Diego County 1650 km to Cabo San Lucas, former playground exclusively for the rich and famous.Dan and Lisa’s first camping vacation in Mexico was in 1985 traveling in their Class B motorhome. Their children were small (2 and 4 years old) and their parents and friends thought for sure they would never be seen again. This four month adventure would be a life altering experience, as they fell in love with Mexico. They have continued to embrace RVing in Mexico in winter when possible, routinely since 2002. Their love of Mexico was pivotal in their decision to start Baja Amigos RV Caravan Tours in 2008.

Sessions: 2 in one day Date: Monday April 29 Time: 10:00 – 11:50 am and 12:40 – 2:30 pm Course Fee: $15 Location: Surrey Campus, Fir Building Room 128 Facilitator: Elizabeth Bordeaux, 604.538.1477 ebordeaux@shaw.ca Please Register By: Mon Apr 22 – To register, see page 43 Guest Presenter: Mary Hartman

Back by popular demand! At the request of several 2012 participants, this year’s Bard workshop has been expanded to cover all four 2013 productions: Twelfth Night; Measure for Measure; Hamlet and Elizabeth Rex. We are delighted that Mary Hartman, Bard’s entertaining and knowledgeable Director of Education, has agreed to come back to conduct this expanded event.Please note the slightly different time schedule. We plan to start promptly at 10:00 am, break for lunch (in the cafeteria) at 11:50, and begin the afternoon session at 12:40. Please arrive by 9:50. Twelfth Night is one of Shakespeare’s most popular romantic comedies, but no doubt the 2013 production will have some original twists. Measure for Measure, less well known, is an entertaining and complex comedy about justice and truth; we will learn how it will be presented. Everyone knows the dramatic story of the tormented Prince of Denmark, but again we can be sure the Bard director will make us see Hamlet with new eyes. The fourth production, Elizabeth Rex, is the most successful play written by Canadian novelist and playwright Timothy Findlay. It involves a meeting between Queen Elizabeth I and an actor from Shakespeare’s troupe who specializes in playing women’s parts. It, too, is a powerful and engaging play.We hope to qualify for the student rate for at least one of these plays and will let you know as soon as we hear whether we have been successful. Student productions are matinees in June.

For Love of Our Grandchildren

Sessions: 4 Date: Fridays May 3, 10, 17 & 24 Time: 12:00 – 1:50 pm Course Fee: $30 Location: Richmond Campus Room 1340 Facilitator: Phillip Warren, 604.946.4919 phillip_warren@telus.net Please Register By: Fri Apr 26 – To register, see page 43 Guest Presenter: Desmond Berghofer, PhD

What We Need to Know and Do Now to Protect their FutureGrandparents love their grandchildren and want to help give them a good start. This course explores what grandparents (and others who love children) need to know about how their grandchildren’s future is being determined by decisions made today and what we can best do now to help. The course is based on a blog written by Desmond Berghofer called “Grandparents for the Future” (www.grandparentsforthefuture.wordpress.com).

Fri May 3: EnergyThis session introduces the course by explaining how the future is determined by the interaction of “Five Es of Human Destiny”: Energy, Economics, Ecology, Empathy and Enterprise. The first, Energy, is considered from the point of view of how the future will be radically different when the abundant and cheap fossil fuels that have powered the world during our lifetimes become both expensive and scarce. Participants will discuss the implications of what is coming on the energy front.

Fri May 10: EconomicsThe economy is the platform on which everything we do in society stands, but it is contained within the biosphere on which all life depends. Throughout the 20th century industrial society essentially ignored the impact that the economy fuelled by cheap energy was having on the environment. In the 21st century our children and grandchildren will not be able to do that, because the global economy has already overshot the carrying capacity of the planet. We will discuss how society will have to think differently about everything from economic growth to how we use money to keep the economy running.

Fri May 17: EcologyThe previous discussions have shown how human activity in the use of energy and industrialization is overwhelming the planet’s life support systems. This activity is accelerating and is likely to become the chief concern in our grandchildren’s lifetimes. In this session, Ecology is discussed in the sense of our relationship as a human family with the natural world. The problems of climate change and environmental degradation will be considered in terms of what they mean for how our grandchildren will need to live differently. We will discuss what that means for how we should be acting now so future generations may have the best opportunities.

Fri May 24: Empathy and EnterpriseFinally we focus on what we can best do to help our grandchildren given all that we have learned and discussed. The presentation will be framed around the remaining two Es of human destiny: Empathy and Enterprise. Our challenge is to foster empathy for others and those who follow us by encouraging creative enterprise to repair the damage already done and design new systems based on better understanding of how to live in an interconnected world. We will have a lively concluding discussion about what we can all do together now to provide the best possible future for our grandchildren and all who follow them.Desmond Berghofer has a PhD in Educational Administration from the University of Alberta. He began his professional career as a teacher in his home country of Australia and came to Canada in 1966, where he has held several administrative positions, including Assistant Deputy Minister of Advanced Education in Alberta, 1977-88.

Burns Bog Combating Ageism

Sessions: 2 Date: Tuesdays May 7 & 14 Time: 10:00 – 11:50 am Course Fee: $15 Location: Richmond Campus Room 1340 and Burns Bog Facilitator: Priscilla Bollo, priscil@telus.net Please Register By: Tue Apr 30 – To register, see page 43 Guest Presenter: Janis Hindman, Education Coordinator Burns Bog Conservation Society

The two-session program will consist of a talk about Burns Bog, the problems facing it and the history of how the Burns Bog Conservation Society came into being and rose to the challenges. The recent Ramsar designation was something the Society has worked towards for many years, but what does it really mean? We will also look at the geo-history of the bog and learn about some of the rare and endangered species that make the bog their home. Part of the program will be a walk in the Delta Nature Reserve, the only part of Burns Bog that is accessible to the public, w here the Burns Bog Conservation Society has built and maintains a raised boardwalk. The interpreter will show how this part of the bog is a transition zone, a buffer for the main bog. How are the plants and animals of this fragile ecosystem interdependent? Can we see signs of the damage done by human activity? Burns Bog was a traditional ground for a number of First Nations Bands and we will learn how they used some of the plants. Why is it that, even today, people find the bog a spiritual place? We will aim to answer these questions as we take a two-hour walk in the largest undeveloped urban landmass in North America.Janis Hindman has a Masters degree in Education from Kings College, University of London. She was a secondary school teacher and teacher manager in Britain. She has been involved in Environmental Education since coming to Canada in 2005 and is currently the Education Coordinator with the Burns Bog Conservation Society.

Sessions: 1 Date: Monday May 13 Time: 10:00 – 11:50 am Course Fee: $10 Location: Surrey Campus, Main Building Room 2810 Facilitator: Trevor Phillips, 604.536.1627 tphilli@shaw.ca Please Register By: Mon May 6 – To register, see page 43 Guest Presenter: Larry Anderson, PhD Psychology

An Ageism Workshop that will Help You Understand and Fight AgeismWhat is ageism and what can we each do about it? The concept of ageism includes stereotypes about older people, prejudice towards them and behavioral discrimination. Ageism can be either conscious or unconscious and is noticeable individually, in social networks, and institutionally. It can also be directed toward younger people.Larry Anderson is a retired Psychology instructor from Kwantlen Polytechnic University. In Dr. Anderson’s ageism research conducted several years ago in BC, out of 800 senior citizens 34% reported that they had been told that they were too old to do something and 40% reported that a doctor or nurse, without investigating, assumed their ailments were caused by age.Our workshop will include a discussion of your feelings and attitudes towards the following:1. Imagine you are looking for an address and stop to ask someone directions. The person talks to you very slowly in a high-pitched tone. Would you expect that the person is talking to you like this because of your age?2. Imagine that you are shopping with a family member and have some questions about a particular item. How concerned would you be that the answers might be directed toward your family member instead of to you?3. Imagine that you have just completed a job interview on the telephone. You are in good spirits because the interviewer seemed enthusiastic about your application. The interviewer informs you they will let you know about their decision soon. How concerned or anxious would you be that you might not be hired because of your age?
