Those were the days ! 4hose were the days when pro*essors, *ittin) the des"ription o* a ?GDC student, o*ten 2smo#ed li#e a de*un"t lo"omotive, spillin) their 2"inders2 over their suit, and when *inished, used to )rind the Gaulloises into the *loor.2 4hose were the days when you mi)ht be hired by a midni)ht phone "all *rom *uture "ollea)ues o**erin) you a @ob at 5ir Geor)e or 3oyola i* you were "raOy enou)h to a""ept it. 4hose were the days when student and *a"ulty a"tivism held stron), and when sit-ins, stri#es, and protests were a natural dimension o* university li*e. 4hose were the days when what was to be"ome the Con"ordia $niversity Department o* 5o"iolo)y and Anthropolo)y was "reated.
4ac,g!o'nd
Fn ?G?C the 3oyola 5"hool o* 5o"iolo)y and 5o"ial 5ervi"e was lo"ated in the *a"ilities o* (our)et A"ademy on 'ountain 5treet. Despite its name it was essentially a s"hool o* so"ial wor#. 4he prehistory o* the Department really started at 5ir Geor)e Williams with !arold Potter, a so"iolo)ist, whose ba"#)round was with the N'CA 9Noun) 'en8s Christian Asso"iation= on Drummond 5treet. Potter hired Purt Jonassohn in ?GD?, whom he #new *rom the N, and who "ompleted an 'A de)ree at '"Gill $niversity be*ore headin) o** to Chi"a)o. 4hey hired !ubert Guindon in ?GD:, a Mran"o-Kntarian, also *inishin) up at Chi"a)o, and they then hired John Ja"#son, with a N'CA ba"#)round, who had @ust *inished his PhD at 'i"hi)an 5tate $niversity on Mren"h-En)lish relations in a small Kntario town. 4he Department o* 5o"iolo)y at 5ir Geor)e was *ounded in ?GD> and the *ollowin) year it re"eived the Department o* 5o"iolo)y and Anthropolo)y
?;
desi)nation I but *ormal de)ree pro)rams in 5o"iolo)y were not o**ered at 3oyola Colle)e be*ore ?GDD. (oth Departments nourished an a"tivist "ulture, had deep roots in the 'ontreal "ommunity, and showed a "ommitment to a bi"ultural reality. 4hrou)h all the "han)es over the de"ades, this trinity has persisted. As the stories told by Gerald Dewey, Pieter de Vries, oberta !amilton, and John Ja"#son ma#e "lear, the ?GD;s and ?GH;s were turbulent de"ades. 'any students were demandin) in"reased roles in )overnment and the demo"ratiOation o* the university. 4he .uiet evolution had already be)un in .u%be". 4he Civil i)hts movement, Women8s 'ovement, and the (la"# Power movement were en)a)in) )ender and ra"ial ine&uality in the $nited 5tates. And independen"e movements were sweepin) A*ri"a and the Caribbean. (ut in 'ontr%al, at 3oyola and 5ir Geor)e this a"tivism mainly "ame *rom *our sour"es / a= the so"ial )ospel tradition o* the N'CA at 5ir Geor)e and the Jesuit )roundin) o* edu"ation at 3oyola Q b= the popularity o* so"iolo)y in an era o* belie* in so"ial re*orm Q "= the in*luen"e o* the 2Chi"a)o 5"hool2 with its emphasis on *ield wor# Q and in"reasin)ly d= 'arAism 9later repla"ed by the three world label 8'arAism-3eninism-'aoism8=. Whatever the in*luen"es, at the heart o* student a"tivism on "ampus were students in so"iolo)y, a""ordin) to this ?GDH report /
4he sudden, almost unbelievable rise o* ardent student a"tivism on this "ampus is not, we believe, a""idental. R...S 4hose o* you who #now the people who have been most intimately involved in the a"tivist "ause already are aware that these people have, very abruptly, under)one a very obvious and remar#able "han)e in personality. Mran# (rayton was last year entirely apoliti"al. 4his year, he is o* the politi"al persuasion so *ar le*t that it eA"eeds the politi"al spe"trum by several de)rees. 'aA oss last year sat unobtrusively as an B.D.P. member o* 'odel Parliament. Early this year he was instrumental in the *ormation o* CK'M $ RCommittee *or a Mree $niversityS, the ultra-a"tivist or)aniOation, that initiated the (oo#store 5tri#e and parti"ipated in the '"Gill sit-ins. Why J (rayton and oss, as well as ay 3aOani"#, Anna 'arie !ill, and other members o* the CK'M $ hierar"hy all ma@or or honour in 5o"iolo)y.2 ?
4hen "ame the 5ir Geor)e 2riots2 o* ?GDG, whi"h put 5ir Geor)e Williams $niversity on the international map. 4his was a loss o* inno"en"e. 4he destru"tion o* the university "omputer in the brand new !all (uildin) also symboliOed, as Ja"#son ar)ues, the end o* the old style edu"ation system and the be)innin) o* mass university edu"ation / the *a"tory produ"tion system o*

truths and belie*s. Fn the old days, Department meetin)s were held in the university "a*eteria on the seventh *loor o* the !enry !all (uildin) and in the old seminar room o* the 3oyola Campus, around a table in a haOe o* "i)arette smo#e. Pro*essors, it was said, #new every student by name. A*ter ?GDC, new rules were put in pla"e to deal with student )rievan"es whi"h be)an to distan"e pro*essors and students. And the university #ept eApandin). Fn ?GHE the mer)er o* 5ir Geor)e Williams $niversity and 3oyola Colle)e too# pla"e. 4he two traditions "ould hardly have been more di**erent. 4he populist, wor#in) "lass, Chi"a)o s"hool, Protestant, N'CA tradition o* 5ir Geor)e and the Catholi", Jesuit run, private s"hool tradition o* F)natius 3oyola. 4he i"oni" *ounders were 5ir Geor)e, an En)lish Vi"torian )entleman, and 5t. F)natius, a visionary 5panish ?Dth "entury mysti" and missionary. 4he two Departments mer)ed reasonably well, with meetin)s alternatin) *rom one "ampus to the other, Chairs alternatin), and *a"ulty o*ten tea"hin) in both pla"es. 4he mer)er was a turnin) point in the ideolo)y o* the Department. $ntil then both 3oyola and 5ir Geor)e had both been tea"hin) departments. Publi"ations were not eApe"ted and )rants were virtually non-eAistent. (ut in the ?GH;s and ?GC;s, with the establishment o* both *ederal and provin"ial )rantin) a)en"ies and in"reased )raduate trainin) in Canadian universities, the pendulum be)an to swin) to emphasiOe the need *or *a"ulty, in addition to tea"hin), to "ondu"t resear"h, apply *or *undin) and publish the results o* their resear"h.
Today : 5/ yea!s late!

Mrom the be)innin) *a"ulty members have shown impressive dynamism. Fn the siAties, as Ja"#son re"alls, Purt Jonassohn was assistin) his "ollea)ues in the development o* the 5ummer 5"hool. 4his was a )reat initiative as many distin)uished *orei)n s"holars were invited to tea"h here in the summer and en@oy 'ontr%al, whi"h they did. (ut this was only one o* hundreds o* on)oin) pro@e"ts put *orth by *a"ulty over the years. We by no means venture to draw a "omplete list / resear"h on theory, )eno"ides, nationalism, *eminism, so"ial problems, media, demo"ra"y, @usti"e, immi)ration, )lobaliOation, identities, youth, )ender, modernity and postmodernity, senses, industrialiOation, "itiOenship, and so many more topi"s have been eAplored on many di**erent re)ions o* the )lobe around the *ive "ontinents. At the same time new *a"ulty were bein) hired and the Anthropolo)y side o* the Department I whi"h really started in ?GDH with the hirin) o* Borman Plein as the *irst *ull time Anthropolo)ist I was bein) stren)thened and eApanded with new hires. 4oday, the Department "ontinues to build on this tradition and to *lourish. Enrollments "ontinue to "limb. We now have well over ?,<;; pro)ram students at the under)raduate level. We are )raduatin) about :; 'A students every year, many o* whom have in turn )one on to publish boo#s and arti"les *rom their theses. We now have :D *ull time *a"ulty 9amon) whi"h is a Canada
?:
esear"h Chair and a Con"ordia esear"h Chair= and about the same number o* part-time *a"ulty, plus D 3imited 4erm Appointment and ? EAtended 4erm Appointment. 4his numeri"al eApansion has been mat"hed by enormous produ"tivity and "reativity at all levels. 4he under)raduate students, under the leadership o* 34A 3ouise Gauthier, in :;;? laun"hed a series entitled 25tories *rom 'ontreal2 o* the best ethno)raphi" essays produ"ed in the Mieldwor# "ourse. 4wo volumes have been published with two more in pro"ess. 4he )raduate students now run an international "on*eren"e every year, with parti"ipants *rom a"ross .u%be", Kntario, and the 'aritimes as well as Bew Nor# 5tate. 4he *a"ulty have published >D boo#s sin"e ?GGG, and s"ores o* arti"les and "hapters in boo#s. 4his is an amaOin) "reation and distribution o* #nowled)e. 4he Department also runs a number o* resear"h "entres. 'any o* our *a"ulty are editors or on the boards o* a lar)e number o* or)aniOations, @ournals or so"ieties. 4his, o* "ourse, is an eAtraordinarily wide ran)e o* interests and s#ills available to our students.

Fn the end, one o* the most stri#in) aspe"ts o* the E; year old Department is the speed o* "han)e.

CHAPTER
A 4RIEF HISTORY OF THE LOYOLA DEPART:ENT OF SOCIOLOGY

Ge!ald De(ey
4ac,g!o'nd
3oyola Colle)e o* 'ontr%al was opened in ?CGD and *ormally in"orporated by an a"t o* the .u%be" le)islature on Mebruary :, ?CGG. (ut it was not "erti*ied as a de)ree )rantin) institution. ather, by o**i"ial de"ree, 3aval $niversity "on*erred its (a"helor o* Arts de)ree on 3oyola )raduates. When the $niversity o* 'ontr%al was established in ?G:;, it repla"ed 3aval in "on*errin) de)rees on 3oyola )raduates. Eventually, 3oyola added a Ma"ulty o* 5"ien"e in ?GE>, a Ma"ulty o* Commer"e in ?GEC, admitted women students in ?G<G, and developed an Evenin) Division Pro)ram in ?GDE. Assured o* autonomy in *ormulatin) its "urri"ulum and "ondu"tin) eAaminations to meet *ormal de)ree re&uirements, 3oyola Colle)e remained inta"t as su"h until its mer)er with 5ir Geor)e Williams to *orm Con"ordia $niversity in ?GHE. Despite its relatively lon) history, however, 3oyola Colle)e did not establish *ormal de)ree pro)rams in 5o"iolo)y until ?GDD. Fn e**e"t, then, the 3oyola Department o* 5o"iolo)y eAisted *or a brie* period "overin) less than a sin)le de"ade prior to the birth o* Con"ordia $niversity in ?GHE. !ere F8ll attempt to tease out a *ew elements that mar# the ori)in and )rowth o* so"iolo)y at 3oyola *rom in"eption to mer)er. What *ollows, F hasten to add, is by no means the *ull and detailed history o* 3oyola 5o"iolo)y so mu"h as a number o* *ra)mentary re"olle"tions about it I some )rounded in *a"t, others more or less ane"dotal drawn *rom a variety o* sour"es. Mrom these rou)h *ra)ments, F trust, the story o* the Department o* 5o"iolo)y at 3oyola Colle)e may be)in to emer)e.
Ea!ly Yea!s 9;<5=9;<>

Durin) the wild ?GD;s as university enrolments )rew rapidly in Borth Ameri"a, the Jesuit administration o* 3oyola Colle)e shared the vision o* an independent 3oyola $niversity o* 'ontr%al holdin) *ully separate status alon) with the other Mren"h and En)lish universities in .u%be". 4o attain this status,
?D
however, it would be ne"essary to brin) the Colle)e8s a"ademi" stru"tures up to speed. Amon) the improvements "ontemplated at the time were *ully operational Departments o* Psy"holo)y and 5o"iolo)y to round out the Ma"ulty o* Arts. 5everal random so"iolo)y "ourses had been o**ered *rom time to time over the years, *re&uently by non-so"iolo)ists usually on a part time basis, but never inte)rated into properly desi)ned ma@or and honours pro)rams in the dis"ipline. Care*ul thou)ht, obviously, had to be )iven to the sele"tion o* the ri)ht person to be)in the tas#. John Pane, a noted Catholi" s"holar who was about to be)in a leave o* absen"e *rom the $niversity o* Botre Dame, re"eived an invitation *rom 3oyola to present a series o* le"tures in so"iolo)y *or the ?GD<6DD and ?GDD6DH a"ademi" years. Pane apparently *ound the o**er su**i"iently attra"tive and moved to 'ontr%al. 3ater he persuaded Joseph 4as"one, whom he #new *rom an earlier meetin) at Gannon Colle)e in Erie, Pennsylvania to @oin him at 3oyola *or the ?GDD6DH a"ademi" year. 4his, then, mar#s the be)innin) o* the Department o* 5o"iolo)y at 3oyola. Ft is important to emphasiOe at this @un"ture that 4as"one was dire"tly involved in the nas"ent Department *rom the outset. !e would remain at 3oyola 9and then Con"ordia= until his retirement many years later. Conse&uently, his personal observations ? about John Pane may a**ord an illuminatin) "ommentary on the early *ormative years o* the Department o* 5o"iolo)y / As I remember those years, I was teaching at Gannon College. and had invited ohn !ane to give a tal" to our #a$ors. %& course, we wined and dined him 'he loved it( and a&ter a &ew drin"s, he began to tal" about his )lans &or the ne*t year. +e told me about being invited by ,ather Cyril %-!ee&e . the /ice President o& 0oyola to come to #ontreal and start a 1e)artment o& 2ociology. ,ather Patric" #alone, the President had a vision &or 0oyola . detachment &rom the 3niversity o& #ontreal to be &ollowed by &ull 3niversity status &or the College . a 0oyola 3niversity o& #ontreal ins)ired )erha)s by the 0oyolas o& Chicago, 4altimore, 5ew %rleans and 0os Angeles. Toward that ob$ective, he decided 0oyola needed, among others, at least, a 1e)artment o& 2ociology and a 1e)artment o& Psychology. ohn was in the )rocess o& arranging or had already arranged &or a leave o& absence &rom 5otre 1ame to be able to acce)t %-!ee&e6s o&&er. 4as"one8s re"olle"tions, moreover, provide an interestin) view o* Pane8s presen"e at 3oyola and his impa"t on the "olle)e. ,ather %-!ee&e thought ohn was a great man who almost wal"ed on water. The ne*t year, when I was there, %-!ee&e gave ohn $ust about everything he as"ed &or. I guess that included me. Anyway, ohn moved to #ontreal in time &or the 789:;99 year and taught two or three courses. I learned later that anything he taught attracted huge enrolments. ohn was not

?H
thin"ing o& a #a$or or +onours in 2ociology . he was not much into theory, methods, or the li"e. 4ut he loved teaching big classes, was good at it and invested all his time and energy in introducing sociology to the cam)us. 4y the time I came on the scene in 7899;9<, he was a very well "nown and )o)ular member o& &aculty. +is sense o& humour, his wit and storytelling s"ills and his endearing )ersonality )lus his color&ul eccentricities made him almost =beloved= by his students and colleagues. I vaguely recall hearing that some non>sociologists had taught a &ew courses the )revious year '789?;9:( with little success so the contrast with ohn6s lectures was @uite dramatic. As &ar as I was concerned, he had done everything that was as"ed o& him and then some. A*ter Pane8s return to Botre Dame in ?GDH, 4as"one be"ame the a"tin) "hairperson o* the new Department o* 5o"iolo)y. F* Pane had laid a *irm *oundation *or a new Department, 4as"one8s pro@e"t was to "arry on with the tas# o* buildin) upon that *oundation. Ft was a "hallen)e he set about meetin) with evident enthusiasm. !ere he re"alls those early years. 4y the time I arrived, students were hungry &or more sociology courses. In those days, courses at 0oyola were 6&ull= or 6hal& courses . roughly e@uivalent to our A credit and 9 credit courses. I don6t remember s)eci&ically what courses I taught that &irst year or the second year but I do remember teaching two hastily scheduled courses in Theory '&ull course( and #ethods B 2tatistics '&ull course( )robably in 789<;9C because students had begun to declare themselves as #a$ors. A&ter ohn went bac" to 5otre 1ame, the 789<;9C Academic year was on hold &or a &ew months until I was o&&icially named Chairman o& the 1e)artment o& 2ociology. I thin" %-!ee&e had his doubts about me but ,ather #alone and ,ather Gerald #acDuigan '1ean o& Arts( did not seem to share that assessment. 'At the time the 1e)artment consisted o& $ust three &aculty members.( %nce I was o&&icially a))ointed as Chairman &or : years, I went into action with the almost blan" chec" given me by #alone and #acDuigan to build a )rogram, hire &aculty, )romote sociology and create a niche &or the 1e)artment without ru&&ling too many &eathers. It was a lot o& &un &or me at times but also somewhat daunting. Ee )ut into )lace a set o& hal& and &ull course electives in areas li"e the ,amily, 2ocial 2trati&ication, 3rban 2ociology, Collective 4ehavior and the li"e around the core areas o& Introductory, Theory, #ethods, and 2tatistics and then set out to recruit &aculty members to im)lement the )rogram. 4hose who "ame to #now him over the years will not be surprised at his %lan in ta#in) up the "hallen)e o* buildin) the new Department. I cancelled all my classes &or a wee" 'we could do that in those days!( and hit the road and airways . to Toronto, interviewed several candidates and hired 0aureen 2nider on the s)ot. Then to 5otre 1ame to visit ohn !ane and interview im 5orris 'subse@uently hired( and others and then on to !alamaFoo &or the interview with you 'G. 1ewey(. Ehen I got bac", I immediately went to 1ean #acDuigan who cut through the red ta)e and sent out contracts immediately, 0ater, we also hired 1ic" Gemy, a &ormer classmate o& mine at 235H 4u&&alo and Tom #acPhail, a Canadian who was com)leting
?C
his doctorate at Purdue 3niversity. 2o we went &rom one )ro&essor ' ohn !ane( in 789:;99 to two in 7899;9< '!ane and I(I and then to seven &ull time &aculty )lus several )art>time instructors in 789C;98. (y the end o* the ?GDC6DG a"ademi" year the 5o"iolo)y Department at 3oyola be)an to ta#e on the loo# o* what it was to be in the years leadin) to the mer)er with 5ir Geor)e Williams $niversity. 4he *a"ulty )rew, enrolments in"reased, and a "urri"ulum too# shape. (e*ore this the 5o"iolo)y Department, as seen by the lar)er 3oyola "ommunity, had been pretty mu"h a re*le"tion o* Pane8s personal verve and style Q but now it was be"omin) a more "ompleA pro@e"t under the wat"h*ul tutela)e o* 4as"one. F re"all that he had "ome to be seen, not un#indly, as the )ater &amilias o* the very new Department o* 5o"iolo)y. Fndeed, he was "learly prote"tive o* his "ollea)ues and students be"ause he understood that it would ta#e some time to lo"ate themselves in the 3oyola situation. Kne thin) that espe"ially helped this alon), oddly enou)h, was the relo"ation o* the Department8s o**i"es in the Centennial (uildin) @ust east o* the "ampus at the "orner o* 5herbroo#e and Coronation in 'ontr%al West. 4his was a partially "onverted apartment buildin) under lease to 3oyola. 4he west win) o* Centennial housed several other departments as well I Philosophy, Politi"al 5"ien"e, !istory, and Classi"s I all older and well established in the Colle)e. F thin# it helped immeasurably *or our new un"ertain Department to share a home with su"h auspi"ious nei)hbors. Bow the Department o* 5o"iolo)y "ould pro*it *rom eAposure to truly )i*ted *a"ulty members o* the a"ademi" "ommunity. And parti"ipation in various on)oin) intra-"olle)e "ollo&uia or simply the daily "onta"t with *ine s"holars in these other dis"iplines "ontributed mu"h to the *led)lin) Department. 4hen, too, there was the physi"al layout o* the Centennial (uildin). As a re*urbished apartment "ompleA, ea"h *loor "omprised the e&uivalent o* E small *lats or units, ea"h well lit throu)h lar)e windows and ea"h havin) its own 8*ull8 bathroom with tub, sin# and toilette. Where else "ould one *ind a lo"ale in a"ademia that in"luded E separate *ull bathrooms on a sin)le level, *or eAample, with spa"e *or private o**i"es and seminar rooms, and yet en@oy "onta"ts with )i*ted "ollea)ues. 5pea# about utopia. 5o what i* the buildin)8s a)in) *loors had be)un to sa) and slant a bit, that the noisy plumbin) was somethin) short o* modern, 9eviden"ed by burstin) pipes in the 'ontr%al winter= or that the heatin) system operated less than per*e"tly. 4his was home and we loved it. 9A*ter we moved to the new Vanier 3ibrary AnneA several years later, a *ar more ideal lo"ation, F thin# some o* us still missed the old &uarters in Centennial I as re*le"ted by some o* the 8souvenirs8 we "olle"ted / wor#tables, a "hal# board, a drawer o* *iles, even a sin#, et".=.

Prior to the start o* the ?GDC6DG a"ademi" year Joe 4as"one was appointed "hairperson o* the Department o* 5o"iolo)y *or a *ull term o* < years. 4ime enou)h, one mi)ht have thou)ht, *or thin)s to settle in a bit *or the new Department o* 5o"iolo)y. EA"ept, o* "ourse, that those were years o* turmoil and )rowin) a)itation in the so"ial and "ultural li*e o* the "ountry. Mirst, there were the politi"al "onditions in .u%be" that would pro*oundly a**e"t the o**i"ial status o* 3oyola Colle)e. 4he old Jesuit hope *or a *ully autonomous 3oyola $niversity in 'ontr%al was *inally dashed when a oyal Commission in ?GDG re"ommended that 3oyola Colle)e and 5ir Geor)e Williams $niversity should be mer)ed into one university. 4here probably had been little "han"e *or 3oyola to be )ranted a university "harter in the *irst pla"e, but the matter had *inally been put to rest. 3oyola now had to s&uarely *a"e the *a"ts. Preparations *or the mer)er would have to be "onsidered by both institutions. As well, the dramati" events o""urrin) in the late ?GD;s and early ?GH;s surely had a dis&uietin) e**e"t on universities in Canada. 4he anti-war movement, a spreadin) dru) "ulture, the movement *or women8s ri)hts, and radi"al student protests a)ainst ra"ism and "olonialism "ertainly resonated with a"ademi"s and students in "olle)es and universities throu)hout Borth Ameri"a. 4hen, too, there was the notorious M3. "risis in .u%be" durin) this time. K* "ourse, neither 3oyola Colle)e nor 5ir Geor)e Williams would remain una**e"ted by su"h issues. 'ore than on"e durin) the ?GDG6H; a"ademi" year poli"e were summoned to eva"uate buildin)s on the 3oyola "ampus *or"ibly o""upied by students or to disband or)aniOed publi" protests a)ainst Colle)e poli"ies or pra"ti"es. Kn another o""asion, F re"all, the poli"e bomb s&uad arrived on "ampus to empty "lassroom buildin)s and investi)ate bomb threats. 4hese were overwhelmin) disruptions o* the normal routines o* a"ademi" li*e. 4o steal a phrase, it was the best and worst o* times. 9F remember the remar# o* a troubled Philosophy pro*essor at one rau"ous demonstration who wondered aloud whether to shout 2De pro*undis2 or 2Deo Gratias2.= Froni"ally, perhaps the very ineAperien"e and youth o* the Department o* 5o"iolo)y and its somewhat sel*-indul)ent preo""upation with *indin) its own voi"e in the "olle)e ethos at the time muted the impa"t o* these power*ul events to some eAtent. At any rate, we somehow mana)ed to survive these tempestuous times relatively uns"athed. And so in the ensuin) years the new Department o* 5o"iolo)y at 3oyola "ontinued to )row and develop. 4as"one re"alled, however, "ertain )rowin) pains on the *a"ulty level.
:;
5ome 9*a"ulty members= "ame and stayed and made ma@or "ontributions to the Department. Kthers stu"# around *or a *ew years, "ontributed and moved on *or one reason or another. 5till others were miAed but le*t o* their own a""ord a*ter a *ew years. (ut there were the ... problem "ases. And, o* "ourse poundin) on the door *or *ull-time appointments were "ertain others. Kver all, some really interestin) people 8)ood and 8bad8 passed throu)h the Department durin) those years. (y my "ount :D di**erent *a"ulty members a"tually wor#ed in the Department o* 5o"iolo)y between ?GDG and ?GHE. 4his still seems remar#able *or a Department s"ar"ely siA years old. 5ome turnover "an be attributed to the )rowin) use o* part time or temporary instru"tors appointed to o**er "ourses at a pre-university level in "on@un"tion with the new "olle)ial 9CEGEP= pro)rams instituted by the .u%be" )overnment at the time. (ut that was a temporary arran)ement until su"h time that these pro)rams "ould be trans*erred permanently to new CEGEP institutions. Fn other instan"es, however, an in"reasin) number o* limited term and parttime instru"tors were needed *rom year to year in order to meet the )rowin) demands )enerated by hi)her student enrolments. 4hen, too, those were years o* rapid eApansion in hi)her edu"ation in Canada in whi"h youn) hi)hly mobile pro*essors *ound themselves in a sellers mar#et. K* "ourse, hi)h *a"ulty turnover produ"ed problems o* instability *rom one year to the neAt. Even departments with stable "orps o* tenured *a"ulty members *ound this situation troublesome. (ut we *a"ed espe"ially "hallen)in) problems as a new department with relatively limited resour"es to draw upon. 5till, despite some rou)h pat"hes en"ountered alon) the way the Department emer)ed with a tested and "on*ident *a"ulty whose )rowin) sense o* "olle)iality served it well throu)h the events whi"h lay ahead. Mor in the neAt *ew years "han)es o""urred at senior levels o* the administration o* 3oyola Colle)e whi"h )enerated "onsiderable stress in the Department o* 5o"iolo)y. Fn the early ?GH;s the Jesuit presen"e at 3oyola was substantially altered. Mather K8Pee*e 9Vi"e President= and Mather 'a".ui)an 9Dean o* Arts=, so important in supportin) the 5o"iolo)y Department, were about to retire. Even more "riti"ally, Mather 'alone8s on"e power*ul role in the 3oyola administration was si)ni*i"antly diminished when the pro@e"t, never really his pre*eren"e, to mer)e 5ir Geor)e Williams and 3oyola rea"hed *ruition. As noted, these senior Jesuit , administrators had been instrumental in the *ormation and development o* the Department o* 5o"iolo)y and their absen"e would be sorely missed. At the same time ev. ussell (reen, a member o* the 'ontr%al ar"hdio"esan "ler)y, had @oined the 3oyola Department o* 4heolo)y and subse&uently served as Dean o* Arts at the "olle)e. Absent an histori"al lin# to the Department, Mather (reen8s appearan"e did not au)ur well *or
:?
so"iolo)y I parti"ularly, it seemed to many o* us, now that the mer)er pro"ess was well under way. Bevertheless, the ?GH;-?GHE period entailed pro)ressive "han)es in the 3oyola Department o* 5o"iolo)y. Bot only did student enrolments "ontinue to )row in our ma@or and honours pro)rams but this eApansion brou)ht us many very )ood students. 4he number o* our )raduates who entered )raduate de)ree pro)rams in Canadian and Ameri"an universities in"reased substantially. And new *a"ulty members were re"ruited, as well, whose resear"h and s"holarly a"tivities brou)ht )reater stature and re"o)nition to the Department. 5usan !oe"#er-Drysdale, !erbert !orwi"h, 5tephen !lophe, Julio 4resierra, PaOuo Pusano, E*ie Gava#i, Guy 3eCavalier, and (rian Petrie @oined the Department in the years leadin) up to the mer)er. Bow, then, )iven this in*usion o* new s"holars to @oin veterans o* the late-?GD;s "ohort, the 3oyola Department o* 5o"iolo)y was better prepared to *a"e the "hallen)es that lay ahead.
Post=:e!ge! : One De"a!t$ent+ Se"a!ate Ca$"'ses

Fn the sli)htly less than ?; years o* its eAisten"e 9?GD<-?GHE=, the 3oyola Department had but two "hairpersons I John Pane 9?GDE-?GDD= and Joe 4as"one 9?GDH-?GH<=. 5usan !oe"#er-Drysdale and F had lo))ed time as A"tin) Chairpersons or Vi"e-Chairpersons o""asionally *or limited periods but *or all pra"ti"al purposes 4as"one had been the one person most deeply involved in the administration o* the Department *rom the outset. !owever, the "olle)ial nature o* li*e in the Department under his dire"tion was su"h that nearly all *a"ulty members had been involved in all the "olle)e a"tivities throu)hout these years. Ft was true, nevertheless, that the "riti"al issue that *a"ed the Department in ?GHE6H< "on"erned the impendin) eApiration o* 4as"one8s se"ond 9> year= term as "hairperson. $nder proto"ols o* the mer)er pro"ess ea"h "ampus would maintain its own pro)rams in the immediate post-mer)er period. 4he *ormation o* sin)le uni*ied departments would ta#e pla"e )radually in order to avoid serious *ra"tures o* the body-a"ademi". Bow, then, a "onsensus o* opinion in the 3oyola Department o* 5o"iolo)y supported the renewal o* the present "hairperson8s appointment *or a third term. Dean ussell (reen, however, opposed the renewal on the ostensible )rounds that Colle)e re)ulations prohibited servi"e *or more than two terms. !e was adamant on this point. !is position was &uite obviously non-ne)otiable and besides that, he alle)ed, it had the 9unspe"i*ied= support o* "ertain members o* the Department. Kther members o* the Department, however, *ound (reen8s ar)ument spe"ious. An impasse had been rea"hed. At this @un"ture, (reen "onvened a spe"ial meetin) o* the Department o* 5o"iolo)y on the 3oyola "ampus in order to present !ubert Guindon, *rom 5ir Geor)e Williams $niversity, as a "andidate *or the soon-to-be va"ant position o* "hairperson at 3oyola. (ut it had never been made entirely "lear whether
::
Pro*essor Guindon had been nominated *or the position or by whom. Kr, i* he had been duly nominated, why the nomination pro"ess had not been open to publi" s"rutiny. Kn the other hand, one "ould have reasonably in*erred that the Guindon nomination "onstituted a preemptive move by the Dean to &uash *urther dis"ussion o* 4as"one8s reappointment. Bor was it entirely "lear to some present at the meetin) whether Pro*essor Guindon a"tually sou)ht the appointment. Fn other words, le)itimate &uestions were raised about the entire a**air. Dean (reen sou)ht to brie* the "ase that the so-"alled 2Guindon Kption2 "ould have a salutary e**e"t on the uni*i"ation o* "ampus departments and "ontribute to the esprit de "orps o* the new Con"ordia $niversity. Whatever the merit o* the proposal, it did little to assua)e the suspi"ions o* a ma@ority o* the Department. 5hortly therea*ter the Guindon Kption *aded away. 5ubse&uently, when 4as"one8s term eApired later in the ?GH<6HD term, (reen named an assistant dean, (ill Ai#en, administrator o* the Department o* 5o"iolo)y until a permanent "hairperson "ould be *ound. Fn the interim, one or two eAternal "andidates were brou)ht in to meet members o* the Department, F re"all, but nothin) *urther happened on that s"ore. A sear"h "ommittee *or a new "hairperson was eventually "onvened and in due "ourse nominated me *or the position. F a""epted with "onsiderable mis)ivin)s. 4he appointment was made e**e"tive *or the ?GHD6HH a"ademi" year. F thin# the position o* "hairperson in the 5ir Geor)e Department o* 5o"iolo)y was un*illed at the time, as well, with an administrator in "har)e until a "andidate was *ound to *ill the va"an"y. Joseph 5mu"#er later a""epted that position. Fn e**e"t, we served as "o-"hairpersons o* a not &uite uni*ied department operatin) separately on two "ampuses. F approa"hed the @ob with trepidation as any novi"e probably would. F #new, o* "ourse, that F would have the )ood will and support o* my 3oyola "ollea)ues in the Department Q otherwise F should never have a""epted the @ob. F "ould still loo# *orward to seein) !erb !orwi"h everyday and listenin) to another o* his ineAhaustible supply o* @o#es. F8d wor#ed with !erb *or years and heard a @o#e *rom him pra"ti"ally daily but never the same one twi"e. What a treasure o* humour and wit he was and F "ounted on that. 4hen there were the marvelous soirees hosted by 5usan and John Drysdale where the )uests were interestin), the "onversation stimulatin), and the ambien"e always @ust so. And, o* "ourse, PaO Pusano and E*ie Gava#i, Guy 3eCavalier, and (rian Petrie and others in the Department inevitably provided ro"#-solid support. 4hen, *inally, what better sour"e o* wise "ounsel "ould one *ind than Joe 4as"one a*ter his eAtraordinary run o* ei)ht years as "hairperson o* the Department o* 5o"iolo)y. Given the )ood will and "ivility o* my "ollea)ues who invariably trans"ended the "orrosive sel*-interests that o*ten subverted the pleasures o* an a"ademi"8s li*e, F *elt that F was in very )ood "ompany at all times. F was a little uneasy, however, about dealin) with the administration o* the university now that the mer)er was a &ait accom)li.

Geor)e Williams. K* the latter, thou)h, thin)s be)an to bri)hten as F )ot to #now them better. F re"all one meetin) on the 3oyola "ampus, some "ommittee or another, when 4aylor (u"#ner inadvertently put a lit pipe in his @a"#et po"#et and nearly in"inerated us all. 4hen the odd en"ounters with Borm Pline nearly always over the phone, usually in the dead o* ni)ht, over some pressin) matter he had down "old and F #new virtually nothin) about. And there was 5imon Choda# who on"e be"ame so utterly animated in our "onversation about !ase#8s The Good 2oldier 2chwei" that he ran sma"# into a potted plant and missed the doorway o* my o**i"e upon leavin). As well, F "ould also loo# *orward to the subversive intelle"tual mis"hie* li#ely to o""ur whenever Joe 'ouledouA happened on the s"ene. 4his seemed @ust too )ood to be true. Kne mi)ht easily "ome to li#e this @ob when all is said and done. (ut then, F thou)ht, nah not really. Net it would have its moments, some )ood others not. 'y uneasiness with members o* the senior administration, on the other hand, proved well *ounded as F &ui"#ly "ame to dis"over. Mor instan"e, durin) a meetin) with the then Vi"e- e"tor o* Con"ordia, to dis"uss my appointment, he let me #now that "ertain de"isions on promotions and "ontra"t renewals would be "omin) down soon "on"ernin) members o* 3oyola so"iolo)y. !e reminded me that F would be eApe"ted to support and de*end these de"isions. 4his seemed to me a re"ipe *or disaster. F pointed out that F "ould not reasonably de*end any de"ision without *irst bein) "onsulted. And it was surely )ratuitous *or him to assume F mi)ht. Ft was not a produ"tive meetin). 5imilarly, dealin) with ussell (reen entailed *rustration and stress. Mather (reen was a li#eable person in many ways I witty, bri)ht, even "harmin). (ut he had an eAplosive temper, F noti"ed, whenever "ontentious issues arose. 4his inevitably tri))ered a rea"tion that rendered reasoned dis"ourse virtually impossible, at least *or me. F *ound it easier to deal with him *rom a distan"e durin) my term as "hairperson o* the Department. Put di**erently, F avoided "on*errin) with him unless it was absolutely ne"essary. 4his is not to su))est, however, that he did not ma#e si)ni*i"ant "ontributions to the evolution o* Con"ordia $niversity. (ut, as so"iolo)ists are wont to say, the de*inition o* a situation depends on a parti"ular point o* view. 4his was mine. 5o there you have it.

*o n D# *ac,son
F was invited to write a narrative on the li*e o* the 5ir Geor)e Williams Department o* 5o"iolo)y and Anthropolo)y. What *ollows is a story / part history, part bio)raphy and part reminis"in). 'y narrative may be a "omedy or a roman"e Q it is neither satiri"al nor tra)i". Mrom a so"iolo)i"al point o* view F dete"ted the presen"e o* a Weberian mode, perhaps as read throu)h Parsons. Ft seemed that inadvertently F had plotted the story alon) a "harisma6bureau"ra"y "ontinuum, or less abstra"tly, an eApressive6instrumental line. Wait U A narrative is *or so"iolo)ists, anthropolo)ists and literary "riti"s to analyOe and *or the narrator to tell. 5o, F will tell my story. Nou will *ind me slippin) *rom the *irst to the third person and ba"# a)ain throu)hout the story. 4he *ormer su))ests F per"eived mysel* as an a"tor in the events des"ribed, the latter su))ests F saw mysel* as an observer. Fn *a"t F was both a"tor and observer *rom ?GDD onward. 4he narrative is presented in *our parts more or less "hronolo)i"ally / Pre-!istory Q 4he Charismati" Nears Q 4oward (ureau"ra"y Q and 5urvival o* the Mittest. F have also pla"ed the emphasis on people and events up to ?GHH when the 5ir Geor)e and 3oyola Departments mer)ed.
P!e=Histo!y
4he Department is now in its *ortieth year, youn)er than most o* us and a bit older than some. 5o"iolo)y and Anthropolo)y, that is, the so"ial s"ien"es have had a mu"h lon)er history at 5ir Geor)e Williams. 5ir Geor)e Williams Colle)e, later 5ir Geor)e Williams $niversity, was born on 'ay >, ?G:D. 4he enrolment was but C;C men and women. 4he base was the older N'CA 5"hool, an evenin) elementary and hi)h s"hool pro)ram *or wor#in) people. We mi)ht @ust note in passin) that in ?G:< there were only >D> boys over siAteen in 'ontr%al8s Protestant hi)h s"hools and the ma@ority o* those were enrolled in the N'CA s"hool. 4hus was 5ir Geor)e Williams Colle)e rooted in the edu"ational wor# o* the N'CA and the NWCA, two asso"iations, rooted in turn, in the Protestant so"ial )ospel movement o* the late nineteenth "entury.

5o"iolo)y appeared in the "urri"ulum durin) the early 8*orties and anthropolo)y durin) the 8siAties. Fn 'ar"h ?GEC the Government o* .u%be" )ranted a "harter establishin) the "olle)e as a "orporate body to "ondu"t a "olle)e or university within the Provin"e and to establish *a"ulties and )rant de)rees, diplomas and "erti*i"ates. Durin) the 8EC-8EG a"ademi" year the enrolment had rea"hed :,>:G, the ma@ority o* whom 9DG per"ent= were re)istered in the Evenin) Division.

A Prin"ipal, Dean, e)istrar and (ursar "omprised the senior administration. 4here were no *a"ulties or *a"ulty deans and no departments. 4here were Divisions )roupin) to)ether the 5o"ial 5"ien"es 9psy"holo)y, so"iolo)y, politi"al s"ien"e, and history=, the !umanities 9lan)ua)es and literature, philosophy, "lassi"s=, the 5"ien"es 9(iolo)y, physi"s, mathemati"s, "hemistry= and Commer"e 9prin"ipally a""ountin) and mana)ement=. A !ead supervised ea"h Division. Ea"h dis"ipline had one or two, sometimes more *ull-time *a"ulty. Part-time instru"tors, many o* whom were *rom '"Gill, did the bul# o* the tea"hin). Pro*essor !arold Potter, a man with stron) N'CA ties, ties whi"h he maintained throu)hout his "areer, was the *ull-time so"iolo)ist. 4he 5GWC pro@e"t was devoted to providin) hi)her edu"ation to wor#in) people, thus the lar)e evenin) division. 4he Evenin) Division student body was "omposed o* men and women wor#in) *ull or part-time and the last o* a "ontin)ent o* World War FF veterans who had entered in ?GE< and ?GED. 'any o* the students, a lar)e number havin) )raduated *rom the 5ir Geor)e Williams evenin) !i)h 5"hool, were re"ent immi)rants or their parents were immi)rants, mainly *rom Europe, western and eastern, or *rom the West Fndies. 4he day division was similar in "omposition but perhaps not as multi"ultural. 4here are two prin"ipal "on"lusions to draw *rom this ba"#)round note. 4he *irst is / *rom its establishment the "olle)e was dedi"ated to tea"hin). 4he administration and the *a"ulty were "ommitted to the tea"hin) o* wor#in) people. 4he se"ond is that the administration and *a"ulty were open to the students. As students we #new that we "ould and we did wal# into the Dean8s or the Prin"ipal8s o**i"e unannoun"ed to dis"uss a "ourse problem. 4hese two "hara"teristi"s, a *a"ulty devoted to a "ommon "ause and an administration unen"umbered by bureau"ra"y set the tone *or two de"ades. 4his or)aniOational *orm and pra"ti"e was later to "ome into "on*li"t with a multipli"ity o* ob@e"tives on the part o* *a"ulty and an ever-in"reasin) administrative bureau"ra"y. emainin) in the pre-Department era *or a moment lon)er, members o* the ?G<> )raduatin) "lass, my )raduation year, were as#ed to write a para)raph on the "han)es we would li#e to impose on 2tomorrow8s world2. .uotin) *rom the ?G<> Near (oo# /

F brin) these *i*ty-two year old statements to your attention to illustrate the point that the orientation o* so"iolo)y )raduates then, as well as now, eAhibited a tenden"y toward so"ial "riti"ism "oupled with a desire *or so"ial re*orm. 4he orientation was in harmony with the drivin) *or"e o* 5GWC eApressed by the *a"ulty and the history o* the institution. F mi)ht add that this orientation and the devotion to edu"ation *or wor#in) people at the se"ondary and postse"ondary levels had earlier pla"ed N'CA edu"ational pro)rams, and thus the Colle)e, in a very *avourable li)ht in .u%be" and 'ontr%al.

5ome years later the Department o* 5o"iolo)y L Anthropolo)y, alon) with other dis"iplines, was *ashioned out o* the old Divisions. (y ?GD< !arold Potter was the Chair, John K8(rien an e"onomist and later e"tor, was the Dean o* the Ma"ulty o* Arts and 5"ien"es. Purt, !ubert Guindon, Mernand Montaine, John awin and 5hirley Ci**en "omprised the so"iolo)y *a"ulty. F @oined the Department in Au)ust ?GDD and by then a *ull-time anthropolo)ist was on hand. 4he a""ent was on tea"hin), the atmosphere was mu"h more eApressive than instrumental, and indeed it was more "harismati" than bureau"rati". F re"all my re"ruitin) interview with Purt and !ubert. Ft was in ?GD< over a lun"h at a restaurant on 5tanley 5treet. We had met previously at an a"ademi" "on*eren"e where F had )iven my *irst paper. 4he dis"ussion was about so"iolo)y, people in the *ield, "urrent readin) and the li#e but a parti"ular "omment made by !ubert has remained with me, 2at 5ir Geor)e2, he said, 2we have a )entle administration.2

We tau)ht :E "redits, two siA "redit "ourses in the Day Division repeatin) the same in the Evenin) Division. Fn"reases in enrolment were the order o* the day. 4here was "onsiderable emphasis on #eepin) in tou"h with the latest in the dis"ipline. Would you believe that we were en"oura)ed to attend pro*essional "on*eren"es, our attendan"e subsidiOed, whether we )ave a paper or not J 4he reasonin) / 2Fn order to brin) the latest in the dis"ipline to our students.2 We were eApe"ted to report on the sessions we attended at a departmental meetin) U 4he !all (uildin) I to whi"h we have returned I opened in the *all o* ?GDD. Bote that the Department was moved seven times between ?GD< and :;;<.

Fllustrative o* this manner o* doin) thin)s was the way in whi"h 4aylor (u"#ner was hired. Ft was a 5aturday evenin) )atherin) at !ubert8s apartment. Durin) the dis"ussions whi"h ran)ed *ar and wide it was announ"ed that we "ould *ill another position. A debate ensued around our needs. (y midni)ht or later, three hours earlier in Cali*ornia, it was de"ided we needed someone to tea"h devian"e and sel* and so"iety. 4he Preplins 9Parl and !annah= su))ested a *riend o* theirs at (er#ley. A "onsensus was rea"hed that !ubert should "all 4aylor invitin) him up *or an interview. A wee# or two later he was hired. 4ony 5ynnott was ta#en on in mu"h the same way. 4here were no "alls in the wee hours o* the mornin) but Joe 5mu"#er and F were "ommissioned to interview him at a C5AA meetin) at the $niversity o* Western Kntario. We returned with our report and he was hired. 4here were re*eren"e letters re&uired alon) with the eApe"ted interview with the Dean, but there was no DPC and no MPC, no prolon)ed interview s"hedules, no short lists and never-endin) debates. 4hese pro"edures were not pe"uliar to 5GW$. 4hey were the norm throu)hout Borth Ameri"a at a time when rapidly in"reasin) enrolments "ombined with a shorta)e o* new *a"ulty were the order o* the day. (y the late 8siAties and early 8seventies several additional *a"ulty had @oined the Department / Parl L !annah Preplin, Joe 5mu"#er, Joe 'oledeauA, Anton Xi@derveld, David Krton, 3eo Van!oey, Borman Plein 9anthropolo)y now had a permanent *ulltime *a"ulty member=, 4aylor (u"#ner and Anthony 5ynnott. John Drysdale and (ill eimer @oined us a little later. 4he Department remained stron)ly, i* not totally oriented to tea"hin). esear"h )rants were almost unheard o* but wel"ome Q publi"ation was desirable but not a ma@or ob@e"tive. 5everal strate)ies evolved to eApose the students to so"iolo)y and anthropolo)y at its best. Kne eAample was the 2blo"# "ourses2. A set o* three "ourses I perhaps politi"al so"iolo)y, so"ial or)aniOation and sel* and so"iety I would be "ombined as a blo"#. 5tudents were re&uired to re)ister *or all three "ourses Q those tea"hin) the "ourses would meet to "oordinate materials and le"tures and to share impressions o* the students8 pro)ress.

4he 5ummer Fnstitute to whi"h Purt and !ubert devoted "onsiderable e**ort is another eAample. Borth Ameri"an and European so"iolo)ists and anthropolo)ists were invited to )ive "redit "ourses, "ourses in whi"h our re)ular students as well as visitors enrolled. 4here were ei)ht sessions between ?GDE and ?GH?. 4hree o* the sessions in ?GDD, 8DH and 8DC "ombined so"iolo)y and history, two sessions in 8DG and 8H; "ombined so"iolo)y and philosophy and the ?GH? session "ombined so"iolo)y, philosophy and reli)ion.

Vernon was *rom the business world and had a #na"# *or ma#in) statisti"s relevant, the students li#ed it U While F was Chair 9?GDG-?GH:= F had to plead with him every summer to ta#e on the "ourse the *ollowin) autumn.

Currently there are :H part-timers tea"hin) "ourses in the Department, many o* whom were our students.

'aoism, 'arAist3eninism, 4rots#yites, parti"ipatory demo"ra"y, .u%be" independen"e, et".= were the order o* the day. Ma"ulty were "hallen)ed in the "lassroom, "hallen)ed to "onne"t their tea"hin) and resear"h with 'ao or 'arA or 3enin or to eAplain Weber in the "onteAt o* 'arAian theory or ed*ield in relation to MrantO Manon. An ane"dote mi)ht serve to illustrate. Ft o""urred durin) the ?GDG-H; a"ademi" year. Mor various reasons F had ele"ted to s"hedule all my tea"hin) on Mridays and 5aturdays. F tau)ht an introdu"tory "ourse with an enrolment o* ?;; on 5aturday *rom ?E/;; to ?D/;; hours. 4he *a"t that evenin) students were miAed with day students, an unusual "ombination at that time, meant that wor#in) people were sittin) side by side with youn)er Day Division students, many @ust out o* hi)h s"hool. Given that it was 5aturday the evenin) students were dressed mu"h the same way as the day students, they were not overly obvious. Add to this the *a"t o* the usual evenin) student o""upational miA / poli"e o**i"ers, military, o**i"e wor#ers, wor#ers in manu*a"turin) and retail, health wor#ers, and so on. 5even students, all in so"iolo)y pro)rams, were members o* the lo"al 'aoist "ell headed by one o* our *a"ulty members. 4hey "arried Chairman 'ao8s little ed (oo# with them.

Ft is perhaps di**i"ult to believe but this "olle"tion o* disparate students did "oales"e into a )roup. 'any o* us met in the "a*eteria till it "losed at ?C/;; *or dis"ussion around the issues o* the day. Fndeed, one o* the poli"e o**i"ers in the "ourse made a point o* wat"hin) over some o* the student revolutionaries when they ended up in"ar"erated overni)ht, usually *or )luin) posters on publi" property, at Poli"e 5tation :<, then on the "orner o* 5t.'ar" and de 'aisonneuve. !e would in*orm me o* the pli)ht o* his *ellow students and F would "onta"t the Dean o* 5tudents to arran)e *or bail. 4he o**i"er *re&uently "omplained about the "ustomary Y<;.;; bail, as#in) his superiors to in*orm the ma)istrate that Y<;.;; was too mu"h *or a student. elevan"y was the "ry o* the day. Apart *rom o""asional unmana)eable "lassroom dis"ussions two pivotal events dire"tly bore on the daily routine o* the Department. 4he *irst was the in*amous 2Computer riot2. 4he histori" day was Mebruary ??, ?GDG when the "omputer area was trashed and burned. $p to that point the o""upation o* the Computer Centre and the Ma"ulty Club was news but hardly earth-shatterin) in ?GDC-DG. A "omplaint, re)ardin) )radin) pra"ti"es thou)ht to be biased a)ainst bla"# students, was re)istered a year earlier in another Department. (y June ?GDC the "omplaint had been investi)ated and the Pro*essor was "leared o* "har)es. (etween 5eptember and
>?
De"ember ?GDC, the "omplainants eApressed dissatis*a"tion with the de"ision resultin) in an all university !earin) Committee whi"h held several publi" meetin)s between De"ember 8DC and January 8DG. A)ain dissatis*ied, the Computer Center and the Ma"ulty Club were o""upied by the "omplainants and their sympathiOers. Kbviously these events disrupted everyday routine. 4he *ire totally disabled the 5o"iolo)y L Anthropolo)y Department I we shared the ninth *loor with the Computer Centre. F should add that durin) this period many o* us "ontinued to tea"h our "lasses outside the $niversity, wherever we "ould *ind a room. Kne o* our *a"ulty, Mernand Montaine, le*t soon a*ter. !is dissertation data, stored on F(' "ards in the "omputer "entre, were destroyed. 4he se"ond event was related to the *irst. 4he a*termath o* the "omputer a**air brou)ht in new and mu"h more elaborate rules and re)ulations re)ardin) student6student and student6*a"ulty relations. 4hese evolved *rom a "ommittee on student li*e involvin) students, *a"ulty and administration. An eApressed desire *or student parti"ipation in department de"ision ma#in) was put to the Ma"ulties and the Departments. Kur Department was ahead havin) *ormed a 2Wor#in) Group on 5tudent Parti"ipation2 in Bovember ?GDC. We were, as a whole but with some disa)reement amon) us, not prepared to meet the students8 demand *or parity on all "ommittees and in Department assemblies. Fn early ?GH;, durin) the "ourse o* a Department meetin), F was Chair at the time Q there was a #no"# on the door. 5iA to ei)ht students entered demandin) a meetin) to dis"uss parity in departmental a**airs. We met later durin) the wee# and su""eeded in rea"hin) an a)reement. 4his )ave students e&ual votin) ri)hts with respe"t to personnel and "urri"ulum. Fn"identally, part-time instru"tors had been )iven a vote at Department Assemblies as early as 5eptember ?GDG. 4hese events were eApressions o* mu"h more )eneral developments in motion in the $niversity and prevalent throu)hout Borth Ameri"a. apid eApansion in enrolments and *a"ulty and a related set o* "on*li"tin) )oals around post-se"ondary edu"ation led to "onsiderable "on*usion amon) students and *a"ulty ali#e. Consider the in"reasin) state support o* hi)her edu"ation in both "apital and operatin) *unds, a level o* support sold to the publi" as ne"essary *or the vo"ational trainin) o* an eA"eptionally lar)e "ohort I the 2baby boomers2 I and to business and *inan"ial interests, in a word, "apital, as ne"essary to *ill the demand *or a s#illed wor#*or"e. Consider the "on*li"t between a vo"ational trainin) orientation and the liberal arts tradition Q "onsider in turn the "on*li"t between the *ormer, based on e&uity and in"lusiveness and a 2hi)h "ulture2 orientation. 4hese lines o* tension were espe"ially salient in 5GW$, and to some de)ree in others with similar ori)ins, Carleton and Nor# to name but two. Peep in mind 5GW$8s roots, a vo"ational trainin) tradition modi*ied by a liberal arts orientation. 4here was already a tension between these two orientations when the Colle)e entered the de"ade o* the 8*i*ties. 4hese tensions sailed in, as it were, on the waves o* new students 9the old Evenin)6Day Division balan"e was shi*tin) and soon to disappear= and a "orrespondin) in"rease in *a"ulty. (y ?GH? there were >;> *ulltime *a"ulty, >D per"ent o* whom had been with the institution *or : years or less, D< per"ent *or *our years or less. Add the observation that most o* these were 2*rom away2 and did not "arry the 5GW$6N'CA view o* hi)her edu"ation Q this in"luded

the administration. Gone was the 2)entle administration2 as !ubert Guindon labelled the ori)inals. 4his a""umulation o* tensions was lar)ely responsible *or the "haos surroundin) the o""upation and riot in the "omputer "entre. Demands *or new rules and re)ulations and "he"#s and balan"es alon) with the in"reasin) power o* the Ma"ulty Asso"iation, soon to be"ome a re)istered bar)ainin) a)ent, )ave rise to a bureau"ra"y unheard o* a de"ade earlier. 4hese "han)es bore heavily upon the Department. Wel"omed o* "ourse was the redu"tion in the "ourse load *rom :E "redit hours to between ?C and :? hours. Wel"omed, yes, but at a pri"e Q today the shi*t in emphasis *rom tea"hin) to resear"h and publi"ation would not be "onsidered a pri"e. 4he *a"ulty members who @oined the Department durin) the 8siAties did do resear"h, thou)h resear"h *undin) was rare, and did publish. (ut now the pressure was on "ountin) I how mu"h in resear"h *unds, how many arti"les, and how many boo#s J 4his happened slowly, and as it happened there was another "han)e observable I a shi*t away *rom a devotion to tea"hin) to a preo""upation with *unded resear"h and writin). 4hese several tensions were revealed in two events. 4he *irst was in the pro"ess o* institutin) an 'A pro)ram and the se"ond was evident in dis"ussions around hirin) pra"ti"es. Fn K"tober ?GDC the Department a)reed to pro"eed with a proposal *or an 'A pro)ram in so"iolo)y and to be)in dis"ussions on a Ph.D. pro)ram. Bo *urther attention was )iven to the do"toral pro)ram until the late ?GC;8s. 4he 'A proposal raised several lines o* tension in the Department Q tensions prin"ipally related to earlier unresolved di**eren"es I di**eren"es between a vo"ational and a liberal arts orientation on the one hand and between the latter two and a 2hi)h "ulture2 orientation on the other. 4here was resistan"e to pro"eedin) with any #ind o* )raduate wor# based on the remainin) stron) position re)ardin) the value o* under)raduate tea"hin) and the mission o* the earlier 5GWC. And, as mi)ht be eApe"ted there was "onsiderable ar)ument as to whether to in"lude a non-thesis option, an option that was not to appear until mu"h later. A "ompromise o* sorts was rea"hed with an a)reement to *o"us on urban studies, promote the pro)ram as a )raduate pro)ram *or people wor#in) *ull I time in related *ields 9health and wel*are a)en"ies, so"ial wor# pro*essionals, publi" servi"e, poli"e, et".=, to "onstru"t a "urri"ulum whi"h )ave some "hoi"e over and above re&uired "ourses, and put the non-thesis option aside *or later "onsideration. 4he proposal was approved and "ourses started in the *all semester o* ?GH:. 'ost students then, and later, were )raduates o* our !onours Pro)ram, o""asionally a student *rom the 2outside2 re)istered. 3ittle outside promotion was done and, perhaps, "onsultation with pro*essionals in related *ields prior to desi)nin) the pro)ram may have su""eeded in establishin) a ni"he amon) those already on "areer paths. Bevertheless it was a mu"h desired pro)ram with enrolments up to our limited "apa"ity. Graduate seminars were not initially part o* the "ourse load "ount and the tas# o* supervisin) a thesis was never part o* the "ourse load.
>>
4he pro)ram remained true to its "ore mission. Fndeed, around the same time as the introdu"tion o* the 'A pro)ram, an urban studies data base was put in pla"e to *ile and "ross-indeA the *ield wor# o* 'A and !onours students. 4aylor (u"#ner8s students were observin) li*e in the bars and on the streets, Purt Jonassohn sent students into the Eastern 4ownships and Joe 5mu"#er arran)ed *or students to observe and interview in wor#pla"es around the "ity. A )lan"e at early thesis titles demonstrates that student interests were imbedded in urban so"ial problems related to issues around "ommunity, health, edu"ation and wel*are. Murthermore many o* these early students went on to Ph.D. pro)rams and some are "urrently atta"hed to so"iolo)y *a"ulties in 'ontr%al CEGEPs and $niversities a"ross the "ountry. 4he *irst two )raduates and the only ones to "omplete the thesis pro)ram in the allotted ?C months were Carol 'urphy and John '"'ullan. John is "urrently at 5t. 'ary8s $niversity in !ali*aA. !is thesis entitled, 2Debtor and Creditor / Colle"tin) A""ounts2 reported on an in&uiry into debt and "redit amon) low-in"ome *amilies in 'ontr%al City. 4he wor# developed out o* a *ederally *unded youth pro@e"t the previous summer where several students produ"ed papers based on interviews o* debtors, "ourt o**i"ers and baili**s, and observed baili**s in a"tion as they removed )oods *rom debtor8s apartments and or)aniOed sales. F re"all bein) very nervous about si)nin) the papers *or this "olle"tion o* enthusiasti" students to pur"hase an old van *or transport, mainly to baili**s, sales. 4he pro)ram )rew, the tradition o* *ield wor# "ontinued to the present, and the theses multiplied. 4he )rowin) resear"h orientation in the Department provided more and more opportunities *or )raduate students to *ind employment and )ain resear"h eAperien"e whether in the *ield as interviewers and observers or in *ront o* a monitor analysin) data.

Fn ?GGD, two de"ades a*ter the 5ir Geor)e63oyola mer)er, anthropolo)y introdu"ed an 'A pro)ram in so"ial and "ultural anthropolo)y. Fts birth appeared to be mu"h easier than was the "ase *or so"iolo)y probably due to the *a"t that the anthropolo)ists more &ui"#ly rea"hed a "onsensus on a pro)ram proposal, thou)h the bureau"rati" hurdles outside o* the Department were similar i* not more *ormidable. 4heses in anthropolo)y have *ollowed a parallel line o* in&uiry thou)h eAhibitin) a broader international s"ope 9e.).

(ut, *irst, the "onteAt / 9?= a Ma"ulty Asso"iation, later to be "erti*ied as a bar)ainin) unit, was now in pla"e demandin) 2proper hirin) pro"edures2 whi"h did not in"lude what one mi)ht "all 2networ# hirin)2 Q 9:= the CanadianiOation movement was well underway havin) started in ?GH?, a movement with "onsiderable stren)th in the so"ial s"ien"es and humanities pushin) *or the hirin) o* youn) Canadian s"holars, men and women, and open "ompetition Q and, 9>= a )eneral sense o* 2*air employment pra"ti"es2 was penetratin) all aspe"ts o* the wor#pla"e in all institutions. Within this "onteAt the dispute was around the Personnel Committee8s re"ommendation to hire a 3e"turer "urrently on the sta** to *ill a va"ant position without openin) a "ompetition and "allin) *or appli"ants, an a""eptable pro"edure at the time. 4he Chair re*used the re"ommendation and a ma@ority vote at a departmental assembly. !e insisted on a "ompetition. 4his set the Department I or a )ood portion o* the Department8s *a"ulty I a)ainst the Chair. As mi)ht be eApe"ted several other minor issues then "oales"ed around the Department vs. the Chair s"enario. Ft was an a"rid stru))le "ulminatin) in the Chair8s resi)nation. Fn more positive terms the stru))le set *airer employment pra"ti"es in the Department and "han)ed the nature o* the 2old boys2 networ#. 'ore youn) Canadian men and women were hired. 4he new pro"edures were espe"ially si)ni*i"ant with respe"t to the hirin) o* women. Fndeed the Chair o* the time should be eAonerated Q his a"tion set, admittedly, *air pra"ti"es, pra"ti"es whi"h were soon to be"ome universal in the a"ademi" "ommunity. Bevertheless you "an appre"iate the movement alon) an eApressive6instrumental "ontinuum, *rom a mu"h less bureau"rati" department to one in"reasin)ly "au)ht in rules and re)ulations. Mair, to be sure, but sheer eApressivity in daily relations amon) *a"ulty and between *a"ulty and students was )one. 4wo additional events o""urred durin) the de"ade o* the 8H;8s whi"h taAed the Department8s ability to "ope within a "onstantly "han)in) environment. Fn 'ay ?GH; the, new .u%be" post-se"ondary edu"ation system "ame into e**e"t. 4his meant that 5GW$s *our-year ba"helors pro)rams "ame to an end to be repla"ed with a three-year pro)ram presumably inte)rated with CEGEP "urri"ula. 5pe"ialiOations were laid on top o* the older ma@ors and honours pro)rams. Preparation *or this ma@or "han)e had started a year or two earlier with "onsiderable ener)y devoted to inte)ratin) the new "urri"ula. Complete inte)ration was never a"hieved. 4he immediate e**e"t was the elimination o* *irst year students. $p to the "han)eover, universities a""epted *irst year students )raduatin) *rom the En)lish-lan)ua)e hi)h s"hools8 )rades eleven and twelve, seventeen and ei)hteen year olds. With the advent o* the CEGEP, *irst year students were now enterin) a three-year pro)ram, two years older with two additional years o* post-se"ondary edu"ation. Dislo"ation was not serious but it was present. Ft was present in the number o* "ommittees and meetin)s
><
)enerated to meet the "han)es and in a total reor)aniOation o* departmental "ourse o**erin)s and pro)rams. 4he 'inistry shi*ted resour"es *rom the universities to the CEGEP *ollowin) the rationale that the number o* university students would redu"e as would the number o* "ourse o**erin)s. 4hey did, but only brie*ly. Ft is at this point that the on)oin) battle between departments and the Deans *or resour"es be"ame a ma@or preo""upation. !avin) ad@usted to this "han)e, the neAt o""urred in ?GHE when 5ir Geor)e Williams and 3oyola mer)ed to "reate Con"ordia $niversity, the new #id on the blo"#. 4he mer)er was presented as a way o* redu"in) "osts. Ft did not appear to do so. Administrative "osts soared with an invasion o* Deans, Asso"iate Deans and Assistant Deans, 2Deanlets2 was the popular name applied to the latter. An in"rease in administrative o**i"ers in turn )enerated an in"rease in "ommittees, "alls *or reports and, yes, rules and re)ulations. Apart *rom the "han)ed relations with the administration, the reality o* the mer)er did not a**e"t the Department until ?GHH when the 3oyola and 5ir Geor)e Departments mer)ed. 4his was not an easy pro"ess. 4wo departments with di**erent traditions and somewhat di**erent pro"edures re)ardin) student representation, "urri"ulum desi)n, hirin) pro"edures and emphasis pla"ed on the related roles o* tea"hin), resear"h and publi"ation were re&uired to desi)n a new "onstitution. 4here were tensions and there were debates but )oodwill prevailed. We made it and here we are twenty-ei)ht years later.
S'!%i%al of t e Fittest
We entered the de"ade o* the 8ei)hties as a new Department in a new $niversity. Adaptation was di**i"ult *or all Department members. 4he old under)raduate tea"hin) traditions o* 3oyola and 5ir Geor)e Williams were "onsiderably modi*ied with an in"reasin) emphasis on resear"h )rants and publi"ation and a "orrespondin) redu"tion in "ourse loads. 4he new $niversity aimed *or a pla"e in the hi)hly "ompetitive system in .u%be", in Canada and internationally. 4he winners-to-be would be de"ided prin"ipally on the basis o* resear"h )rants and re"o)nition o* the national and international reputations o* *a"ulty members. 4he hirin) &uestion be"ame, not 2how well does he or she relate to under)raduate students2 but 2how well does he or she do in a"&uirin) resear"h )rants and what is his or her reputation internationally J2 4o be sure the three *un"tions o* a"ademi" li*e, the "reation, dissemination and preservation o* #nowled)e, or resear"h, tea"hin) and publi"ation are lin#ed Q one "annot pro"eed without the other. (ut tensions are "reated as a"ademi" institutions shi*t, o*ten a))ressively, see#in) a balan"e. Perhaps it is too optimisti" and perhaps naive to say that at Con"ordia, the Department o* 5o"iolo)y and Anthropolo)y has rea"hed about as *ine a balan"e as "an be a"hieved. (elieve me, students do note that "onta"t with *a"ulty members and reasonably siOed "lasses are "hara"teristi" o* Con"ordia. 4he Department is one o* the *ew le*t in Canada where two mature dis"iplines are housed under the same roo*. Carleton, e)ina, and $niversity o* (ritish Columbia "ome to mind as others. Perhaps, a*ter *orty years, separation
>D
o* the two mi)ht be o* bene*it to both but that is a debate *or another day. Kn the positive side and ta#in) note o* pra"ti"e over the last several years, intera"tion between the two dis"iplines in the same department has bene*ited students and *a"ulty ali#e. Crossover tea"hin) assi)nments and supervision o* )raduate theses have opened the Department to the di**erin) theoreti"al and methodolo)i"al pra"ti"es brou)ht to bear on the same issues and problemati"s. Anthropolo)y developed with the addition o* Charles (rant, Peter de Vries and Domini&ue 3e)ros, *ollowed over the last *ew years by Vered Amit, Chantal Collard, 'aAimilian Morte, David !owes, Christine Jourdan, !oma !ood*ar, 5ally Cole, 'arie Bathalie 3e(lan" and, @ust lately, Bi)el apport. 5o"iolo)y added several new people *ollowin) the amal)amation, too many to name in this short narrative. 4he amal)amation o* the two dis"iplines bonded two *a"ulties. Mran 5haver and Gre) Bielsen @oined so"iolo)y Ma"ulty durin) the same period. 'any more were added *ollowin) the ad@ustment to the shatterin) blow re"eived *rom the $niversity8s early retirement pro)ram. Perhaps the marria)e o* the two dis"iplines li#e the marria)e o* the two edu"ational traditions 93oyola and 5ir Geor)e= has "ontributed to both variety and stren)th in the intelle"tual li*e o* the Department. 4here is eviden"e o* this in the resear"h, tea"hin) "entres and pro)rams in whi"h members o* Department have had a hand over the years. Consider the Centre *or !uman elations and Community 5tudies in the Department o* Applied 5o"ial 5"ien"e, the 5"hool *or Community and Publi" A**airs, the 5imone de (eauvoir Fnstitute, the Centre *or (road"astin) 5tudies, the Centre *or Community and Ethni" 5tudies, the 'ontr%al Fnstitute *or Geno"ide and !uman elations 5tudies, the !umanities Ph.D. pro)ram and the 3iberal Arts Colle)e. Fn addition the Department8s so"iolo)ists and anthropolo)ists have played a"tive roles in the C5AA, CA5CA, the F5A, and AC5A3M. Fntelle"tual e"le"ti"ism is most "ertainly a *eature o* the Department Q a *eature that at times has made it di**i"ulty to rea"h a "onsensus over pro)ram "ontent. 5tron) publi" debates over theoreti"al and methodolo)i"al orientations have been rare in the li*e o* the Department. 4he attitude has tended to be toward 2live and let live2. Di**eren"es there are and over the years they have emer)ed durin) debates over hirin) and "urri"ulum desi)n. Ft is perhaps in the tension that has arisen, *rom time to time, over *illin) or repla"in) a position that bureau"ra"y or instrumentality has won the day and preserved the pea"e over "harisma or eApressivity. ules and re)ulations imposed by the Colle"tive A)reement on the hirin) pro"ess have modi*ied the emotions that in the past have "hara"teriOed parti"ular hirin) episodes. 4hey need not be enumerated Q most here will readily re"all ea"h episode. 5everal su"h episodes seemed to be out o* C.P. 5now8s novel, The #aster. 4he spe"i*i" intelle"tual diver)en"es were and perhaps still are more visible in debates around "urri"ulum desi)n. 4he introdu"tion o* the so"iolo)y 'A pro)ram, the lon) debate over the do"toral pro)ram proposal, the introdu"tion o* the three-year pro)ram, and the amal)amation with the 3oyola Department added to "han)in) s"hools o* thou)ht in the dis"iplines all ne"essitated what appeared to be massive "han)es in pro)rams.
>H
A "on*rontation between theory and methodolo)y has been a *avourite as well as the &uestion "on"ernin) how mu"h "hoi"e is to be built into a pro)ram. 4he *ormer is symptomati" o* two underlyin) issues. Mirst, so"iolo)ists, not anthropolo)ists, eAhibit a tenden"y in these debates to put aside what we all well #now I that theory and methodolo)y "annot be separated, nor "an the two be separated *rom substantive issues. 4heory "onstru"tion and theoreti"al debates re&uire a methodolo)y. 4he "riti&ue and appli"ation o* a theoreti"al orientation is methodolo)y. !ow "an one ar)ue over separatin) that whi"h is inseparable in a humanisti" or s"ienti*i" debate J F* F may paraphrase our onetime "ollea)ue, Anton Xi@derveld, is it possible that at the "ore o* these ar)uments is the di**i"ulty o* "ombinin) humanisti" Oeal with analyti" rationalism J 5e"ondly, the &uestion o* "hoi"es versus re&uirements in a pro)ram, underlyin) this debate in "urri"ulum plannin) is the old tension between vo"ational trainin) and liberal edu"ation. Preparation *or a vo"ation drives re&uirements while preparation *or thou)ht and en@oyment drives "hoi"e. F have le*t one observation to near the end. Con"ordia and our Department o* 5o"iolo)y and Anthropolo)y are in and o* .u%be". 4he role o* the early 5ir Geor)e Williams 5"hools enterprise was appre"iated and respe"ted. We "arry that tradition. Ft is a tradition that over the years as it morphed into a $niversity has "ome to re"o)niOe that in .u%be" there are no o**i"ially or *ormally desi)nated Mren"h and En)lish $niversities. Within that "onteAt the Department has evolved to a point where the publi" lan)ua)e o* .u%be", Mren"h, is re"o)niOed and pra"ti"ed. When F @oined the Ma"ulty in ?GDD F pla"ed Mren"h lan)ua)e arti"les on my readin) lists. 4his "aused "onsiderable "omplaint *rom students. When F retired *rom tea"hin) thirty-two years later it was no lon)er an issue. 4his is pro)ress. We are here now, seventy-ei)ht years *rom the ori)ins o* the 5ir Geor)e Williams edu"ational pro)rams, *orty years *rom the o**i"ial establishment o* the 5ir Geor)e Department and twenty-ei)ht years *rom the *oundin) o* the Con"ordia $niversity Department o* 5o"iolo)y and Anthropolo)y. We have survived the intelle"tual and politi"al turmoil o* ea"h de"ade. We have adapted to a position somewhere between "harisma and bureau"ra"y, as well as "an be eApe"ted in a lar)e-s"ale or)aniOation, thou)h we should be "on"erned about a ma@or shi*t in university dis"ourse *rom that o* students, *a"ulty and "ollea)ues to one o* "ustomers, employees and CEK8s. We have melded two older Departments with somewhat di**erent traditions and we have rea"hed a level o* intelle"tual "onsensus as indi"ated in the establishment o* a esear"h Chair devoted to the study o* )lobaliOation, "itiOenship and @usti"e and one devoted to .u%be" 5tudies. Fs this too indi"ative o* an a"#nowled)ed deli"ate balan"e between the lo"al and the "osmopolitan J We have, indeed, survived, and, perhaps, arrived. F have "ome to the "on"lusion o* my narrative. 4o "ontinue the narrative is the tas# o* the present Department. 4he tradition is stron) and tomorrow is at hand.

CHAPTER
ANTHROPOLOGY AT CONCORDIA : AL:OST 5/ YEARS OF CO=HA4ITATION A PERSONAL PERSPECTI&E

Piete! *# de &!ies
A "omparison o* anthropolo)y pro)rammes at a number o* lar)e universities in Canada indi"ates the persisten"e o* an anomaly / whereas the )rowth o* our dis"ipline elsewhere o*ten resulted in the "reation o* separate departments, at Con"ordia $niversity it remains *irmly and or)ani"ally lin#ed to 5o"iolo)y in a @oint department. 4en years a*ter my retirement this is a sour"e o* both personal pride and "onsiderable satis*a"tion. As we "elebrate E; years o* 5o"iolo)y and Anthropolo)y at Con"ordia $niversity this "ontinuin) lin#a)e between the two dis"iplines in one department bodes well *or the *uture. 3oo#in) ba"# at the history o* the Department, its presen"e in the university and its lo"ation in 'ontr%al and .u%be", it is possible to identi*y persistin) aspe"ts o* a "onteAt within whi"h the dis"iplinary partnership was "reated and re"reated over the de"ades. F will use the many strands o* memory and *eelin) to try to weave that "onteAt, thereby *irmly re"on*irmin) the biases F on"e brou)ht to the "reative tensions o* dialo)ue with "ollea)ues in our two dis"iplines. 5o"iolo)y and Anthropolo)y at Con"ordia $niversity was "reated by 5o"iolo)ists at 5ir Geor)e Williams $niversity. 5ir Geor)e was a pe"uliar university whose mission "onne"ted it histori"ally with those holisti" notions about physi"al and spiritual health that underlay the "reation o* the Noun) 'en8s Christian Asso"iation 9N.'.C.A=. When F was hired by 5ir Geor)e in ?GH> that "onne"tion was still stron)ly eviden"ed by our "lose proAimity to and presen"e in N'CA buildin)s. (ut, more than anythin) else, it was the emphasis on, and "ommitment to, providin) a""ess to both se"ondary and postse"ondary edu"ation *or members o* the urban "ommunity who had remained lar)ely disen*ran"hised *rom obtainin) a university edu"ation that uni&uely set 5ir Geor)e apart *rom the other 'ontr%al universities o* that era. 'ature entry pro)rammes, evenin) "ourses and a *irm emphasis on tea"hin) and a"ademi" advisin) were some o* the important means used to put that "ommitment into pra"ti"e. Ft also *ormed the "onteAt in whi"h anthropolo)y was introdu"ed and a Department o* 5o"iolo)y and Anthropolo)y was "reated
E;
in ?GDE. 4hree years later the Department hired Borman Plein as its *irst *ull time anthropolo)ist. 4his was *ollowed in ?GH; with the appointment o* Charles (rant. 4hose who "reated 5o"iolo)y and Anthropolo)y at 5ir Geor)e Williams $niversity also had a vision *or the role o* the dis"iplines within the broader "onteAt o* Canada. !arold Potter, !ubert Guindon, John Ja"#son and Purt Jonassohn ea"h played important roles in the early development o* the Canadian 5o"iolo)y and Anthropolo)y Asso"iation and its @ournal, the Canadian Geview o& 2ociology and Anthro)ology. Fndeed, both the Asso"iation and the eview have en@oyed an endurin) "onne"tion with the Department. Departmental so"iolo)ists and anthropolo)ists have served as members o* the eAe"utive and o* the editorial board o* the C5AA and the Geview o& 2ociology and Anthro)ology, respe"tively. 4heir so"iolo)y, in terms o* problemati" and method, pla"ed them "lose to the band within the broad spe"trum o* so"ial s"ien"e where the sister dis"iplines "an *ind the potential *or "reatin) a produ"tive ni"he. 4he ori)in and mission o* 5ir Geor)e Williams $niversity in a 'ontr%al that was in the throes o* "han)e, a *led)lin) university that was still reelin) *rom the events o* ?GDG, with departmental so"iolo)ists who were overwhelmin)ly "ommitted to a vision o* their dis"ipline that re*le"ted the broadness and "ompleAity o* their urban milieu, "ombined to provide a *ertile soil *or the )rowth o* anthropolo)y. 4here was an emphasis on "ommunity and "ulture. 4he C(C radio drama "olle"tion be"ame an important presen"e that "ontinues to de*ine the "hara"ter o* the Department. (oth represented "ommonalities o* interests amon) so"iolo)ists and anthropolo)ists. When F be"ame the third anthropolo)ist in the Department o* 5o"iolo)y and Anthropolo)y o* 5ir Geor)e Williams $niversity in ?GH>, anthropolo)y "ourses were 2servi"e2 "ourses. 4here was no separate anthropolo)y pro)ramme. While F "annot re"all the eAtent to whi"h students enrolled in so"iolo)y pro)rammes were *ormally re&uired to ta#e anthropolo)y "ourses, these were "ertainly popular at 5ir Geor)e, as they were elsewhere in Canada. F do remember bein) "ons"ious o* the eAtent o* support and enthusiasm there was amon) my so"iolo)y "ollea)ues *or the development o* anthropolo)y and the "reation o* departmental under)raduate anthropolo)y pro)rammes. 4he *a"t that the Department was also "ommitted to "reatin) a )raduate pro)ramme in so"iolo)y did not si)ni*i"antly diminish that support. Fn a sense this is "urious be"ause so"ial "on*li"t o*ten arises under "onditions o* s"ar"e resour"es. 4he "ondition o* s"ar"e resour"es was endemi" at 5ir Geor)e. 2Do more with less2 seemed to be the uno**i"ial but very appropriate mantra *or the $niversity then and throu)hout the years that F was part o* it. Curious, too, was the *a"t that when our Department shortly a*ter des"ended into interne"ine war*are, the "on*li"t never involved its "ommitment to developin) both dis"iplines. 'aybe e"olo)i"al anthropolo)y "an provide us with some use*ul insi)hts / the nature o* the institution and o* the Department that F s#et"hed earlier provided important means whereby adaptation to s"ar"e resour"es "ould su""ess*ully pro"eed. With three *ull-time anthropolo)ists the Department "reated honours, ma@or and minor pro)rammes in anthropolo)y that were immediately su""ess*ul. 4he adaptive 2tri"#2 was two*old / Mirst, rely on so"iolo)y "ourses
E?
within the Department and 2"o)nate "ourses2 outside. 5e"ond, emphasiOe the aspe"ts o* )eneral anthropolo)y that lie "losest to the so"iolo)y that was represented in the Department. 4hat meant eA"lusion o* biolo)i"al anthropolo)y and o* ar"haeolo)y. F* we loo# at "urrent departmental pro)rammes the 2tri"#2 be"ame institutionaliOed and served as an important prin"iple *or departmental under)raduate pro)ramme development durin) the ?GC;8s and 8G;8s. 4he initial anthropolo)y pro)rammes "ontained introdu"tory, intermediate and advan"ed "ourses. Fntrodu"tion to Anthropolo)y was a *ull-year introdu"tion to physi"al anthropolo)y, ar"haeolo)y and so"io-"ultural anthropolo)y. An evolutionary perspe"tive provided the means whereby the 2!olisti" 5"ien"e o* 'an2, as we "alled it then, "ould in*orm students o* both our primate ori)ins and the wonder*ully variable eApressions o* the li*e ways o* !omo sapiens, both past and present. 4here was a belie* that with this enri"hin) and optimisti" perspe"tive on humanity anthropolo)y "ould ma#e an essential "ontribution to liberal arts edu"ation at 5ir Geor)e and, later, Con"ordia $niversity. 4he or)aniOation and orientation o* the "ourse was parti"ularly use*ul and e**e"tive )iven that so many o* our students, espe"ially in the evenin) "lasses, usually brou)ht more li*e eAperien"e than *ormal edu"ational ba"#)round to "ourse readin)s, le"tures and "lass dis"ussions. F remember with *ondness and satis*a"tion the responses to )eneraliOin) and inte)ratin) opportunities o**ered by the *ormer siA "redit introdu"tory "ourse. At the intermediate level, the pro)ramme "ontained Peoples and Cultures "ourses and topi"al "ourses that re*le"ted the ethno)raphi" and ethnolo)i"al spe"ialiOations and interests o* the anthropolo)y *a"ulty. Advan"ed theorybased "ourses were o**ered in the *inal year, in"ludin) the !onours Essay *or students in the !onours Pro)ramme. All "ourses in the pro)ramme *ollowed the D "redit *ormat that was "ommon in the Department and in the university at that time. 4he new anthropolo)y pro)ramme was very su""ess*ul and enrolment in both anthropolo)y "ourses and pro)rammes )rew steadily and su**i"iently to @usti*y re&uest *or an additional anthropolo)ist. Domini&ue 3e)ros was the *ourth anthropolo)ist and the *irst to be hired by Con"ordia $niversity, *ollowin) the mer)er o* 5ir Geor)e Williams with 3oyola. !e also added a di**erent dimension to the anthropolo)y pro)ramme. Charles (rant re"eived a PhD *rom Cornell $niversity, Borman Plein was wor#in) on a do"torate at 'i"hi)an $niversity and F wor#ed on my PhD at the $niversity o* Alberta with i"hard Mru"ht who had de)rees *rom 'i"hi)an $niversity and (randeis. Domini&ue re"eived his PhD *rom the $niversity o* (ritish Columbia but his earlier study at the $niversity o* Paris, "ombined with a ba"#)round *rom Mran"e, added not only mu"h-needed stren)th to the spe"trum o* anthropolo)y in the Department but also be)an to develop a *ran"ophone presen"e. Ft is impossible to eAplore the development o* anthropolo)y in 5o"iolo)y and Anthropolo)y outside the "onteAt o* the mer)er between 5ir Geor)e Williams $niversity and 3oyola Colle)e. As is no doubt dis"ussed in mu"h
E:
)reater detail elsewhere, the two institutions were very di**erent as were the two Departments. Althou)h o**i"ial mer)er too# pla"e in ?GHE, the two Departments at Con"ordia "ontinued as separate entities until the or)ani" mer)er o* ?GHC. Durin) these *our years, anthropolo)y at Con"ordia $niversity implied the 5ir Geor)e "ampus as the Department at 3oyola "ontinued to o**er an under)raduate pro)ramme in so"iolo)y only. 5tephen !lophe, an anthropolo)ist *rom Bi)eria, and who had "arried out *ield wor# in 3iberia, tau)ht only so"iolo)y "ourses at 3oyola Colle)e. 4he mer)er o* the Departments in ?GHC, under the @oint and wise stewardship o* Joe 5mu"#er and Gerry Dewey helped the 5ir Geor)e Williams so"iolo)ists and anthropolo)ists to over"ome the internal "on*li"ts that had produ"ed sta)nation, loss o* "redibility and presti)e and that had resulted in the institution o* trusteeship. Di**erent under)raduate pro)rammes had to be inte)rated on a two "ampus basis. Fn the pro"ess, the new @oint Department )ained mu"h o* its "hara"ter *rom the 5ir Geor)e "omponent, in"ludin) its "ommitment to both so"iolo)y and anthropolo)y. 4here was also an opportunity to provide students at 3oyola with a""ess to anthropolo)y on their "ampus. Ft was Charles (rant who was the *irst to o**er Fntrodu"tory Anthropolo)y and Peoples and Cultures o* Fndia on the 3oyola "ampus. (ut there was also a move towards "han)in) the old 2*ull year2 "ourses to 2hal* year2 "ourses, a tenden"y that was "ompleted with pro)ramme reviews o* the ?GG;8s. 4here is no doubt that it was "onvenient *or both students and *a"ulty. Ft be"ame easier *or students to "ombine di**erent "ourses *rom di**erent *a"ulty members. Ft was also "onvenient *or *a"ulty members to rearran)e their "ourses over a three semester period and ta#e hal* sabbati"als. Fn terms o* peda)o)y, however, it was my eAperien"e that the one term "ourses le*t less room *or depth, broadness o* perspe"tive, written assi)nments and essay-based eAams. Charles (rant8s retirement at the end o* the ?GH;8s represented the loss o* ethno)raphi" "overa)e o* East and 5outh East Asia. Ft also meant the loss o* a member o* a )eneration o* Ameri"an anthropolo)ists who be)an their trainin) in the ?G>;8s, be"ame radi"aliOed a*ter the war and ultimately "hose to move to Canada in the ?GD;8s. A*ter his departure we were *ortunate to be able to "arry on su""ess*ully with the help o* a number o* hi)hly &uali*ied part-time *a"ulty members. When a *ull time position be"ame available the Department appointed Chantal Collard. !er appointment not only *urther stren)thened the *ran"ophone presen"e in the Department, it also added to the stren)th o* *ieldwor#-based #inship studies. Chantal was the *irst anthropolo)ist at Con"ordia $niversity to have "arried out eAtensive *ieldwor# in the Provin"e o* .u%be". 5he also added to the inte)ration o* anthropolo)y at Con"ordia into the pro*essional networ# o* .u%be". 3ater in the ?GC;8s the Department was *ortunate to be able to hire Vered Amit and David !owes. (oth added si)ni*i"antly to the breadth o* anthropolo)y Q they also provided a basis *or )reater inte)ration o* anthropolo)y with so"iolo)y in terms o* resear"h, tea"hin) and "olle)ial "ollaboration. 5everal publi"ations were the result o* this.
E>
While it is "lear that anthropolo)y had thrived within a @oint department and only the la"# o* *inan"ial resour"es prevented the "reation o* a )raduate pro)ramme, there were "ountervailin) *or"es. 4here were very tentative moves *rom within the )roup o* anthropolo)ists to "reate a separate Department. Fn retrospe"t one "an see this, on the one hand, as an eApression o* maturity. Net, on the other hand, there were "on*li"ts over dire"tion. Coin"identally, perhaps, a number o* Canadian anthropolo)ists had be"ome dissatis*ied within the Canadian 5o"iolo)y and Anthropolo)y Asso"iation. 4hey *elt a pro*essional need *or a Canada wide anthropolo)y asso"iation with its own pro*essional @ournal. CA5CA and the @ournal Culture were *ounded and departmental anthropolo)ists played important roles in both. While "learly bene*i"ial to the pro*essional interests o* both *ran"ophone and an)lophone anthropolo)ists in Canada, there were impli"ations that were un*ortunate. When F was Anthropolo)y Editor o* the Canadian Geview o& 2ociology and Anthro)ology in the early ?GG;8s, there were demands *rom so"iolo)ists within the editorial board o* the C 5A and *rom anthropolo)ists in CA5CA to spin o** anthropolo)y *rom the C5AA and the C 5A. 4here were pra"ti"al reasons *or this / the @ournal Culture mi)ht have )ained in terms o* both *undin) and subs"riptions. Mortunately, the broader vision prevailed and the C5AA and the C 5A still eAist. What "ould have been lost then still remains a national and international *orum *or both anthropolo)ists and so"iolo)ists. (ut, perhaps more "riti"ally, it is a Canadian vision o* "ontinuity between dis"iplines and "ollaboration between their pra"titioners that survived. 4he su""ess o* E; years o* Anthropolo)y and 5o"iolo)y at Con"ordia $niversity is testimony to the stren)th and validity o* that vision. A)ainst su"h a ba"#)round it is interestin) to loo# at what happened subse&uently in the Department at Con"ordia $niversity. 5hortly a*ter F be"ame Chair, with (ill eimer as Vi"e-Chair, new and surprisin) opportunities *or development and eApansion o* anthropolo)y in relation to so"iolo)y be"ame possible. We were able to hire a "onsiderable number o* new *a"ulty members durin) a three year period. 4here was also an opportunity to "reate a master8s pro)ramme in anthropolo)y. Durin) this period we hired !oma !ood*ar, Christine Jourdan and 5ally Cole, addin) eApertise and potential to the anthropolo)y pro)rammes that *ew o* us who were involved in its "reation would have thou)ht possible. Ft also meant that the Department rea"hed its histori"al maAimum o* thirty *ulltime so"iolo)ists and anthropolo)ists. 5i)ni*i"ant *or this dis"ussion, there was virtual "onsensus within the Department *or an in"rease in the number o* anthropolo)ists and, also, *or the "reation o* an anthropolo)y )raduate pro)ramme. 'oreover, and than#s to the wor# done by my prede"essor, John Drysdale, the Department o* 5o"iolo)y and Anthropolo)y was )iven *undin) priority by the Ma"ulty o* Arts and 5"ien"e. Mor me, who had eAperien"ed departmental li*e under trusteeship and who was also the *irst anthropolo)ist to be"ome departmental "hair, this was "lose to mira"ulous, a )reat sour"e o* satis*a"tion and hope *or the *uture o* the Department. 4he appointment o* 5ally Cole was made possible by another, and *or our Department, uneApe"ted development. Con"ordia $niversity, alon) with
EE
l8$niversit% du .u%be" + 'ontr%al be"ame the re"ipient o* a private donation to *und a Chair *or Ethni" 5tudies. Kur Department su""eeded in "onvin"in) the Vi"e- e"tor A"ademi" that 5o"iolo)y and Anthropolo)y was the lo)i"al lo"ation o* su"h a Chair at Con"ordia $niversity. 4he "reation o* the Centre *or Community and Ethni" 5tudies and its Certi*i"ate Pro)ramme in Community and Ethni" 5tudies were the results o* ne)otiations with the Ma"ulty over this initiative. Ft was the resour"es present in our @oint Department that made it possible to respond &ui"#ly to re&uests *rom the Ma"ulty to "reate the new under)raduate pro)rammes in "ommunity and ethni" studies that were re&uired *or the "reation o* the Chair. While subse&uent bud)et "uts resulted in the demise o* the Centre and the loss o* *a"ulty positions due to retirements, it is unli#ely that we would have been able to hire 5ally Cole at that time without it. Durin) this period o* eApansion the Department also underwent a *irst outside evaluation. 4his was a very *ruit*ul eAer"ise and resulted in a thorou)h revision o* the under)raduate pro)rammes in so"iolo)y and anthropolo)y. Fn order to ma#e resour"es available *or new )raduate pro)rammes in so"iolo)y and anthropolo)y, the revised under)raduate "urri"ulum went a step *urther in the inte)ration o* the two pro)rammes by means o* re"ipro"al re&uirements o* "ourses in so"iolo)y and anthropolo)y. 4his was new and re&uired students in the Department to ta#e both introdu"tory anthropolo)y and so"iolo)y "ourses. 4he introdu"tion o* a @oint 5pe"ialiOation in Anthropolo)y and 5o"iolo)y had "reated the model *or this. 'ore than ten years a*ter the revision it appears that, apart *rom ad@ustments to in"orporate the eApertise o* new *a"ulty members, that model retains its use*ulness. Ft is "lear that re"o)nition o* the bene*its that a @oint Department "an o**er to students in so"iolo)y and anthropolo)y had be"ome part o* the departmental "onsensus and modus operandi. Anthropolo)y at Con"ordia was able to *lourish be"ause o* it. F trust that it will also remain one o* the Department,s assets in what still is, and hope*ully will "ontinue to be, a pe"uliar university with a uni&ue mission in an o*ten unpredi"table environment.

Ro)e!ta Ha$ilton
Fn the *all o* ?GH:, with three small "hildren at home, and two years o* *eminist "ons"iousness-raisin) under my belt, F wal#ed into the o**i"e o* John awin, Chairman o* the Department o* 5ir Geor)e Williams $niversity, to dis"uss my "ourse o* studies as a newly admitted student in the *led)lin) 'aster o* Arts pro)ram. F was nervous. Ft had been nine years sin"e F had studied *ormally and it seemed more li#e a li*etime. F* F had #nown what F "ame to #now later, that he had only "ome to *ull-time intelle"tual wor# when he was well into his middle years, perhaps F would have *elt more "om*ortable. Bonetheless, when F tentatively broa"hed my area o* interest *or whi"h there was not yet a name I the so"iolo)y o* women, perhaps I any ease F mi)ht have *elt would have been shattered. 2Nou don8t seem to understand, 'rs. !amilton I this is a university Q we do intelle"tual wor# here Q there is "ertainly a proper and le)itimate pla"e *or your interests I *or whi"h F mi)ht say, F have )reat sympathy I it is on the streets, parti"ipatin) in publi" *orms o* protest.2 2Pro*essor,2 F answered, more in an)er than in sorrow, 2F did not "ome to the university to protest Q F "ame to study the situation o* women.2 3oo#in) ba"# on this eA"han)e F now realiOe that his suspi"ions were "orre"t. Meminists indeed "arried their protest into the university, "hallen)in) not only the stru"ture o* the university, and the limited pla"e o* women within it, but also the parameters o* what "onstitutes #nowled)e. Fn any "ase, F was not the least dis"oura)ed by Pro*essor awin8s remar#s. 'y heart had s#ipped a beat upon seein) the noti"e in the 'ontreal GaOette that the Department o* 5o"iolo)y at 5GW $niversity was initiatin) an 'A pro)ram and a""eptin) part-time students. And F was thrilled when Joe 5mu"#er in*ormed me o* my admittan"e, "onditional on repeatin) a statisti"s "ourse *or whi"h a pro*essor at Carleton, in an a"t o* pro*ound )enerosity, had )iven me a D-. Fn the *irst year F too# John Drysdale8s theory "lass Q his love *or the Mran#*urt 5"hool impressed me )reatly, thou)h my brain, a*ter several years o* *ull-time motherin), did not )rasp mu"h o* its import till later. !e permitted me to write my ma@or paper on 2A Caste Perspe"tive on the elations between the 5eAes,2 my *irst-ever paper on what was to be"ome the *o"us o* my li*e8s

resear"h. 4he *ollowin) year F spent most o* my time in (ill eimer8s methodolo)y "lass tryin) to establish some theoreti"al basis *or histori"al so"iolo)y. F thin# we disa)reed at the time on my level o* su""ess 9he was ri)ht on that s"ore=, but he en"oura)ed me throu)hout. Fn 4aylor (u"#ner8s $rban 5o"iolo)y 9starrin) Jane Ja"ob8s wonder*ul boo#, The 1eath and 0i&e o& Great American Cities=, F undertoo# a resear"h pro@e"t in whi"h F interviewed women on why they divor"ed, and who initiated pro"eedin)s. F "an8t ima)ine any student o* mine doin) this mu"h wor# *or a "ourse paper, but F was on *ire, and 4aylor was "ontent to let me *ollow my dream. !e s"ared the dayli)hts out o* most o* us by de"larin) that we should plan to publish our wor#. 5u"h a thou)ht had never o""urred to me. F was merely tryin) to sort out why women had been subordinated to men *or most, i* not all, o* history 9a modest endeavour F thou)ht at the time=, and retain somethin) o* my sanity while raisin) my adorable "hildren. F en@oyed my *ellow students a lot. Kne o* them as#ed me, a *ew wee#s into *irst term / 2so how old are you, obertaJ2 24hirty2, F replied. 24hirty U2, she responded, her eyes bi). 2Nou8re thirty, you8re thirty. Kh my )oodness.2 4hirty was old I a*ter all one "ould not trust anyone older than... Kn another o""asion, !enry Pars"h, whom F dis"overed later had been *ired *rom .ueen8s, and spent the neAt de"ades mobiliOin) support *or his "ause at the C5AA, as#ed me to address his "lass. F had never done su"h a thin). Mour minutes into the tal# he interrupted me, then a)ain a*ter siA minutes, and so it went. Kne youn) woman in the *ront row be)an to "ry. 4here was dan)er F would *ollow her. 2Pro*essor, would you please wait to "riti"iOe until F8m *inished J2 2Bo,2 he shouted ba"#, 2F "annot allow you to misin*orm my "lass U2. We all stumbled throu)h, but F did tell Joe 5mu"#er about it later. Mor whatever reason, Pars"h was not invited to tea"h a)ain. And F well remember Purt Jonassohn "omin) by my des# to "ounter patiently my ar)ument that di**eren"es between the seAes were so"ially "onstru"ted. !is son and his dau)hter were &uite di**erent in every respe"t *rom ea"h other. At the time F thou)ht he was tryin) to persuade me to abandon my *oolish ideas, but F "ame to #now better. !e wanted students to deal with the empiri"al world, and that world in"luded the behaviour o* his "hildren. Kver time, Purt be"ame my )reat *riend. 4he *irst year F was oblivious to departmental politi"s. (ut that ended with a ban) when John '"'ullan de*ended his thesis in the *all o* ?GH>, the *irst in the department to do so. Even *or a naive outsider li#e me, it was a very stran)e event, with the Department "hair, Joe 'ouledouA, as#in) him why he had "hosen the pro*essors he had *or his supervisory "ommittee U Clearly, all was not well in lotus land, and when he introdu"ed plans to )ive the "hair the power to approve all subse&uent theses, the )raduate students revolted. We had )reat meetin)s, lots o* lau)hter and *un. Personally, F was "onvin"ed that the Chair would never approve anythin) that F wrote 9and at the time F still did not have a "lue what that mi)ht be=, so he had to )o, or abandon his plans i* F were to ever )raduate.
EH
(y the time F de*ended in K"tober ?GH<, there was a new "hair. 5till, my de*ense was not without its own drama. When F arrived that mornin), Purt Jonassohn in*ormed me that !ubert Guindon, a member o* my "ommittee, had been delayed in .u%be" City by a snow storm, and he, Purt, would ta#e his pla"e. F should not be "on"erned, and was not. 4he room was pa"#ed, F remember. And there were those who thou)ht that the sort o* histori"al so"iolo)y that F had done did not &uite &uali*y as a so"iolo)y thesis. 4he "ommittee deliberated a lon) time 9would it have been so lon) with Guindon present I probably not U=. Fn any "ase, that the thesis was "ontroversial turned out well, as Purt Jonassohn is *ond o* remindin) me. !e was se"retary o* the F5A, and that wee#end, the president, 4om (ottomore, was in 'ontr%al *or meetin)s, and stayin) with Purt. Purt as#ed his )uest to loo# at my thesis, and he too# it up to bed. !e had told 4om, 2!ubert and F thin# this is pretty )ood, but everyone doesn8t. 4his is only our se"ond masters thesis Q you8ve read lots, what do you thin# J2 Fn the mornin), 4om as#ed Purt i* he thou)ht that F would be willin) to publish it in the series he was editin) "alled Controversies in 5o"iolo)y. 4hat in"ident "lin"hed my lon)-term *uture, thou)h that would not be"ome "lear *or some years. A year a*ter F arrived at 5ir Geor)e Williams, John '"'ullan had introdu"ed me to his thesis supervisor, !ubert Guindon, who had @ust returned *rom sabbati"al. At John8s ur)in) F as#ed him to be on my thesis "ommittee. Vivienne Walters, then *inishin) a do"toral thesis at '"Gill and on a limitedterm appointment at 5ir Geor)e, was my thesis supervisor. John, who #new more about departmental politi"s than F ever would, thou)ht F needed !ubert to balan"e my ti"#et. !ubert )ave me the )reen li)ht and untold support, thou)h he "on*essed later that on"e he realiOed F was not plannin) to study women8s movements I the only so"iolo)i"al pro@e"t he "ould ima)ine involvin) women I he had no idea what F intended to do. When he *irst mentioned a do"toral de)ree, F paid no attention Q he wasn8t pushy, but he didn8t stop either. At some point, F don8t #now when, it stopped soundin) "raOy. F don8t believe that he ever realiOed that his support *or me I "onsiderin) my seA and my *eminist politi"s I was so unusual. !ow he "ame to be this person o* su"h )enerous spirit, with the sort o* "on*iden"e that only deli)hts in the su""ess o* others, is a )ood &uestion. Given that my wor# has been a sour"e o* immense satis*a"tion, F do #now that F am blessed to have had him as my dear *riend and mentor. F loo# ba"# on my time at 5ir Geor)e Williams 9it be"ame Con"ordia in time *or my )raduation= with immense )ratitude and deli)ht. 4hree years a*ter F "ompleted the 'A, F returned to Con"ordia to do my do"toral studies in the !umanities Pro)ram. !ubert was my supervisor, and to my )ood *ortune, John Ja"#son a)reed to be a member o* my supervisory "ommittee. !e always had been a )reat supporter o* the )raduate students, and his "alm voi"e o* reason surely made a )reat di**eren"e throu)h some turbulent years in the Department. oberta !amilton
