A Narrative Inquiry: A Black Male Looking to Teach
In: Qualitative report: an online journal dedicated to qualitative research and critical inquiry
ISSN: 1052-0147
The purpose of this qualitative research study was to understand how a Black male experienced the interview process while seeking a teaching position. The participant and I attempted to answer how race and/or gender played a role in his interviewing experiences. The researcher used a qualitative approach to interview this individual. Data analysis revealed major findings contributing to this Black male's interviewing experiences: Racism played into the hiring process in subtle ways, and just because this candidate was prepared to teach, that preparation did not guarantee his employment. The findings from this narrative account might prove helpful in understanding why there is currently a shortage of Black male teachers.

The Rise of the Lougheed Conservatives and the Demise of Social Credit in Alberta: A Reconsideration
In: Canadian journal of political science: CJPS = Revue canadienne de science politique, Band 26, Heft 3, S. 455-475
ISSN: 1744-9324
AbstractIn 1971, Peter Lougheed's Conservatives put an end to the long rule of the Social Credit party in Alberta. Many accounts maintain that large-scale social change that occurred in the province as a result of the postwar oil boom was responsible for this important change of government. Urbanization, in particular the expansion of the urban middle classes, secularization and increasing wealth are often cited as the primary causes of Social Credit's downfall. This article challenges this popular interpretation, arguing instead that short-term factors such as leadership, contemporaneous issues and campaign organization better explain the Conservative triumph. Also challenged is the larger claim that election outcomes may be determined by matters beyond anyone's control.
The Rise of the Lougheed Conservatives and the Demise of Social Credit in Alberta: A Reconsideration
In: Canadian journal of political science: CJPS = Revue canadienne de science politique : RCSP, Band 26, Heft 3, S. 455-475
ISSN: 0008-4239
The defeat of the Social Credit government of Alberta by Peter Lougheed's Progressive Conservatives in 1971 is examined. It is argued that the popular academic explanation of the fall of the Social Credit government, which stresses the causal role of social change, resulting from urbanization, secularization, & expansion of the middle class, rests on erroneous assumptions: (1) misunderstanding of the social bases of support for the Social Credit party; (2) inadequate explanation of the longevity of the Social Credit government; & (3) reliance on structural factors for determination of electoral outcomes. Short-term factors, eg, leadership, contemporaneous issues, & campaign organization, offer better explanations of the conservative triumph. 5 Tables. Adapted from the source document.

Class Voting in the First Alberta Social Credit Election
In: Canadian journal of political science: CJPS = Revue canadienne de science politique, Band 23, Heft 3, S. 519-530
ISSN: 1744-9324
AbstractMany interpretations of the Social Credit movement in Alberta are based on assertions regarding the class basis of its popular support. Since no previous study of Social Credit has offered an empirical account of its popular class base, such an account is provided here. The author analyzes the provincial election of 1935, in which Social Credit first gained power, by comparing party support in the cities, towns and countryside. Within the cities, a district-by-district analysis measures the pattern of class voting in urban areas. Class is found to have been a powerful determinant of voting in this election.

ISSN: 0008-4239
An empirical study is presented of the class basis of Alberta's Social Credit Party's (SCP) popular support. Through an examination of the provincial election of 1935, when the SCP first gained power, a comparison is made of political support among the cities, towns, & countryside. It was found that voters in 1935 were polarized along class lines, with urban workers & rural farmers giving overwhelming support to the SCP. 4 Tables. R. Logsdon
