The Citizen Panel: Community engagement through public deliberation and the processes and strategies underpinning that process. They also learned about the City Vision and the 10-year strategic plan. After many hours of learning and discussion, in which significant differences of opinion were considered, the Panel created a set of recommendations that was presented to City Council in July 2009.

Since then, panelists have received updates about how City Council used the Panel’s recommendations in crafting the City of Edmonton’s budget for 2010-11. The evaluation framework for the Citizen Panel includes a large-scale survey questionnaire of Edmontonians asking about their knowledge and opinions about public-involvement activities, as well as interviews with and focus groups involving Citizen Panelists, university researchers, City administrators, and elected representatives. A key question in the evaluation will be the extent to which the Panel’s recommendations were actually reflected in the approved budget, which was approved in December 2009.

Dr. Marco Adria

The Faculty of Extension is applying its expertise in community engagement through an innovative set of activities led by faculty member Dr. Marco Adria, associate professor and director of Extension’s Graduate Program in Communications and Technology, along with Yuping Mao, a doctoral student in communications at Ohio University and an academic developer in the Faculty of Extension. An important outcome of the Citizen Panel has been the creation of a new centre for research and development in the area of public involvement.

The Citizen Panel, held in March 2009, was a project in which the City of Edmonton and the University of Alberta joined forces to create a significant new opportunity for public involvement in municipal policymaking. The Panel brought together about 50 women and men of diverse ages, incomes, cultural backgrounds, and experiences to learn about and discuss Edmonton’s budget priorities. The group was brought together through a combination of random selection of the population in Edmonton and outreach to inner-city agencies. The goal was to gather informed citizen opinion for City Council to consider seriously as input into the 2010-2011 municipal budget. During the six sessions that they met, panelists learned about the City of Edmonton’s budgeting process

The Citizen Panel was established in part as a response to an inquiry in 2007 by Edmonton City Councillor Karen Leibovici, who asked senior administrators to create a report on participatory democracy. The report would describe the concept of participatory democracy, explain how participatory democracy relates to the objectives of the City of Edmonton Public Involvement Policy, and provide details on what potential opportunities there might be for expanding participatory democracy in Edmonton. After the report was written, the Citizen Panel was planned as a pilot project.

The Citizen Panel: Community engagement through public deliberation (continued) The Citizen Panel was a new approach to public involvement in Canada. Although the budgets for social housing in the city of Toronto and for family services in the city of nearby Guelph are decided, in part, through public deliberation, neither city has taken the broad approach to budget priorities represented by the Citizen Panel project, in which large-scale budget priorities were considered. Outside of Canada, the city of Porto Alegre in Brazil provides an example of public participation in civic budgeting that has been successfully operating since 1989 (http://www.nhi.org/online/issues/ 146/canadianbudgeting.html.).

University of Alberta students, graduates, and staff helped organize the Citizen Panel and facilitate small-group discussions

The Citizen Panel’s success has prepared the way for the subsequent establishment of the Centre for Public Involvement, which is a partnership to be operated and funded jointly by the City of Edmonton and the University of Alberta. The Centre’s purpose will be to engage in research and development in support of improved public-involvement practices and processes. The

Several University of Alberta students and graduates helped to plan and organize the Citizen Panel. They also facilitated the Panel’s small-group discussions. Tammy Fallowfield, a graduate of Extension’s Master of Arts in Communications and Technology program who works at Edmonton Economic Development, was the moderator of the Citizen Panel.

Mapping Early Child Development in Alberta In 2009 the Government of Alberta launched a project to look at the factors that may explain some of the delays in early childhood development and their distribution in different areas of the province. The data would then be used to assist communities in implementing local plans to support their children and families. This work is the main purpose for the five year Early Childhood Mapping Project (ECMap) project now underway under the leadership of the Community University Partnership (CUP) in the Faculty of Extension. This project is under the direction of Project Director Sue Lynch and project staff (see photo), who set up shop in Enterprise Square on Sept 1, 2009.

Some of the data the ECMap project will be using comes from the Early Development Instrument (EDI) that was developed over a decade ago by the Offord Centre for Child Studies (OCCS) at McMaster University.

By partnering with provincial agencies and governments, OCCS has been gathering data from surveys completed by kindergarten teachers in schools throughout the country. The data have been compiled into profiles for communities, provinces and the country as a whole. Nearly all provinces have been collecting EDI data on their children and have begun to look at how to improve the developmental picture across the nation. ECMap will also make use of socio-demographic data gathered by Stats Can, as well as community asset data gathered by people living in communities throughout Alberta.

A large proportion of the children entering the school system in Alberta are delayed in their development. Over 27% of Canadian children exhibit serious delays in at least one of these five readiness categories: physical health and wellbeing; social development; emotional development; Intellectual and language development; and communication and general knowledge. Furthermore, developmental readiness for school varies greatly from one geographic area to another. Data collected in the spring of 2009 indicate that over 28 % of Alberta children (compared to 27% nationally) fall in the delayed or low category. Furthermore, almost 14% of Alberta children are low in at least two of the developmental readiness categories, compared to 13.6% in Canada.

One of the main results of the project will be maps showing patterns and relationships between developmental readiness of children and sociodemographic factors in communities. This will be important evidence in support of the specific recommendations that will be made to the Alberta government by the end of the project.

Community University Engagement Showcase II (2009) Making A Difference

Dr. Hiram Fitzgerald

About 130 people attended the second annual Showcase of Community University Engagement March 5, 2009 hosted by the Faculty of Extension at Enterprise Square, Edmonton. The keynote address was delivered by Dr. Hiram Fitzgerald, Associate Vice-Provost for University Outreach and Engagement and Distinguished Professor of Psychology at Michigan State University. Well known as an expert on community engagement, Dr. Fitzgerald discussed general principles that need to be adhered to by institutions wanting to truly make a difference through engagement with the surrounding communities.

He also discussed some of the very practical issues that need to be attended to, such as making sure that the reward structure for faculty actually rewards them for their engagement with communities, rather than penalizing them.

Throughout the full day session concurrent sessions and poster sessions addressed these focus questions: • • • •

Why do we want to make a difference?

What does a difference look like?

How do we make a difference?

How do we know we have made a difference?

These sessions were grouped into content areas as follows: • • • •

Political Economy Health and Wellness Environmental Sustainability Social Change

A plenary panel discussion concluded the Showcase by addressing the issue of how to create sustainable community-university partnerships.

Studying the Interaction between Language and Society: Dr. Martin Guardado The main purpose of this study is to provide a research basis for pedagogy that will help develop students’ awareness of language resources considered critical to writing coherent academic texts in English.

It’s a long way from Dr. Martin Guardado’s birthplace in El Salvador to his present home in Edmonton and his current position of Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Extension. He worked his way north to Los Angeles, and finally Vancouver, where he completed his doctorate at UBC in 2008. Taking advantage of what he has learned (and taught) about language while working his way north, he focused his doctoral study on language socialization in immigrant families from ten Spanish-speaking countries residing in Metro Vancouver. His dissertation title was Language socialization in Canadian Hispanic communities: Ideologies and practices.

Dr. Guardado’s research interests also include language socialization - the process of learning language and learning through language - the process through which individuals become members of communities. This theoretical perspective is particularly important for Dr. Guardado as it enables him to study the macro social factors and micro linguistic processes involved in the experiences of ethnolinguistic groups in their home lives and in their efforts to integrate into Canadian society.

As a specialist in applied linguistics/sociolinguistics, Dr. Guardado is currently studying aspects of second language acquisition – a research focus that goes very well with the many languages taught and learned in the Faculty of Extension. He looks at language learning and teaching processes with a particular focus on the facilitative effect of online technologies in language education and in second language writing development. He is planning to examine the use of emerging virtual technologies for ESL course delivery in Extension’s English Language Program.

Heritage language development is another of Dr. Guardado’s research interests, expanding upon his doctoral work. The term “heritage language” refers to languages other than the official languages of Canada (English and French) or Indigenous languages. Taking a language socialization perspective, Dr. Guardado studies heritage language development, which includes the transmission, learning, maintenance, and use of heritage languages as the primary means by which families socialize their children to become members of their cultural communities. Fostering the family language is a critical necessity for linguistic-minority families living in increasingly multicultural and multilingual settings such as Edmonton.

Researching the variety of activities related to the linguistic, social, and cultural factors affecting the complex phenomenon of heritage languages is one more way in which Dr. Guardado will be engaging with his new community here in the north.

He is also part of an international team of researchers, the other members of which are located at the University of New South Wales, Macquarie University, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, the University of British Columbia, and the University of Ottawa. As part of this team, he is currently investigating challenges faced by Japanese exchange students when writing academic prose in English. The students are part of a two-term study abroad program at a Canadian university, usually during their second year of enrollment at their home university in Japan.

Fay Fletcher Receives Two Awards for Promoting Community-Based Research At a gala on October 1, 2009, Dr. Fay Fletcher was honoured by the University of Alberta School of Public Health with their Alumni Horizon Award.

This award is presented annually, and recognizes outstanding achievements of alumni early in their careers. Dr. Fletcher, who is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Extension, is also an adjunct assistant professor in the School of Public Health.

Dr. Fletcher was honoured for her community based research, particularly in collaboration with indigenous organizations and groups.

The announcement from the School of Public Health singled out, among her accomplishments, her significant role in the three Indigenous Summer Research Institutes which the School has organized in collaboration with the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. She was a faculty member at the 2007 institute in Baltimore, co-lead in 2008 in Banff, and co-lead at the third institute in New York in August, 2009.

Dr. Fletcher and her colleagues were also presented with the Deputy Minister’s Award for Excellence for their outstanding work on the summer institutes. The formal presentation was held in Ottawa in June, 2009, where Fletcher and Lory Laing, also a professor in the School of Public Health, were presented with the award.

City-Region Studies Centre: New Appointments Dr. Rob Shields, Academic Research Director We are pleased to announce that Dr. Rob Shields has been appointed Academic Research Director for the City-Region Studies Centre at the Faculty of Extension. Dr. Shields is the Henry Marshall Tory Research Chair and Professor of Sociology and Art and Design at the University of Alberta.

The Faculty of Extension is delighted to have him on secondment from the Faculty of Arts, initially for two years.

Although Dr. Shields officially accepted the Centre’s Academic Director position starting July 1, 2009, he has been a friend and a Board Member of the Centre since its inception, even contributing to the original successful proposal for the establishment of the CRSC.

Dr. Al Cook appointed Associate Dean, Research

In the coming years, Dr. Shields will sharpen the scholarly vision and research direction for the Centre, building on its foundation of communityuniversity engagement and its multi- and interdisciplinary approaches to examining city-region issues. Dr. Shields’ research focus is urban cultural studies, particularly the social use and meanings of the built environment and urban spaces and regions.

As of September 1, 2009, Dr. Al Cook has been appointed Associate Dean, Research, in the Faculty of Extension. Dr. Cook is Dean Emeritus of Rehabilitation Medicine as well as former Chair of the Health Sciences Council and Special Advisor to the Provost. Dean Katy Campbell is thrilled that Dr. Cook will be applying his insights and experience to the Faculty’s research initiatives in university-community engagement.

Dr. Kevin Jones, Research Associate Dr. Kevin Jones joined the City-Region Studies in January 2010 as Senior Research Associate. Prior to joining the Centre, Dr. Jones was Assistant Professor (UK Lecturer) at the University of Liverpool Management School where he lectured in public policy and research methodology. His recent research has addressed the development of expertise and engagement in environmental policy-making and hazard regulation. Informed by this work Dr. Jones has worked closely with the British government in developing its practices. Further research work has addressed public and community perceptions of risk and the development of risk controversies in society. He holds a PhD from Brunel University (London UK) in Science and Technology Studies. Currently, Dr. Jones is cross appointed to the University of Alberta’s Department of Rural Economy.

After his first few months in this new position, Dr. Cook has come to appreciate both the diversity of research in the Faculty of Extension and its quality. He has observed that the Faculty has an emerging academic program of research and graduate student education. He also notes that the quality of research in the Faculty is materially enhanced by the presence of several existing and developing centres, since all of these centres have strong community partnerships that further the Faculty’s focus on engaged scholarship.
