Hello! This is Katie Stultz, a 2012 Alum from CEP. I am going to be stepping away from my current role at The Washington Bus, and I would love to share the upcoming job opportunities with the CEP community. The Washington Bus shares many of the same core values of community, leadership and social justice. It would be a fantastic fit for anyone who is interested in advocacy work, non-profit management, and youth leadership development. Let me know if you want to grab coffee and talk about the roles – stultzk@gmail.com.

Best,
Katie

The University of Alberta in Canada is pleased to announce the launch of a new course-based Master’s degree in Urban and Regional Planning. Rooted in the idea of planning for resiliency, the program focuses on land use planning and policy development to enhance community resilience to economic, social, and environmental challenges. The program emphasises the development of a critical understanding of environmental and economic processes in planning for growing regions and large and small towns. This includes issues of climate change, extreme weather, winter cities and northern towns. The program offers both a 2 year and a 1 year stream. The two year regular stream is meant for those who are fresh to Planning while the one year accelerated stream is designed for those who are already in the profession but seek to advance their education. The program is an advanced study program centred on a core consisting of planning studio, other core and optional courses such as planning for resilient cities and regions, internship and field school, plus a major research paper or project.

We are now accepting applications for the entry in the Fall of 2017. For more information, please visit our website: planning.eas.ualberta.ca. Or contact: Dr. Sandeep Agrawal, Professor and Inaugural Director at sagrawal@ualberta.ca.

AIS 475: The Ongoing Psychological Colonization of Indigenous peoples
5 cr. I&S
Instructor: Stephanie Fryberg
MW 11:30 – 1:20
Historical practices mandated the cultural assimilation and colonization of North American Indigenous peoples, but according to both Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars, the inevitable legacy of colonialism is likely to influence every aspect of the lives of the subjugated persons for eternity. This course will examine 1) the foundations of psychological colonization and 2) how understanding these foundations can provide a roadmap for ameliorating the ongoing disruptions to self and identity development, families, education, and the future development of tribal communities. Theoretical and empirical evidence will be drawn from the experiences of indigenous communities in the U.S. and Canada, and at times from other colonized groups from around the world. A central issues throughout the course is whether and how the techniques and technologies of contemporary psychology should be appropriately adapted and/or adopted for use in Indigenous cultural communities. This course is designed for upper-level students who have had at least one course in American Indian Studies.
