The LGBT Community Safety Initiative, a project
of the Antigonish Women's

sensitivity
training within a rural context.
The second section includes basic information about LGBT communities,
as
well as information on how to be an Ally to these groups. The third
section
contains information and resources to organize a Positive Space

sessions. Each exercise is organized with Step-by-Step delivery
suggestions. Section 4 includes resource sheets which can be revised
or
built upon by other groups. See manual index below.
This resource would be most helpful to those working at a grassroots
level
to increase visibility and support for Rural LGBT communities.
We would like to make this resource available to anyone who is
interested.
We are not charging for content, only for materials and copying
costs. We
have binders available for $25 (Plus $7 for Shipping) and CD's
available for

If you have any questions about this work or are interested in
ordering a
copy, please contact the project.

Fifth competition: CBIE International Learning Grants
CBIE International Learning Grants provide opportunities for undergraduate
Canadians to develop a global mindset and skills for promoting Canada's
international relations. It is also expected that the grants will increase
interest in international education as a profession. Grants finance the

expenses, and are targeted to students who lack the financial resources to
go abroad. Secondary school and community college group exchanges are also
eligible.
Entirely financed by the Canadian Bureau for International Education, CBIE
is unique in reinvesting our membership fees in programs that have the
potential to make a difference to not only the individual but the
community at large. The program reflects CBIE's commitment to broaden Canadian
understanding and experience in all aspects of international education.

Communicating Knowledge from the Social and Human Sciences to the Public: Perceptions, Practices, and Perspectives
The Canadian Association of Teachers of Technical Writing (CATTW) is organizing a one-day interdisciplinary conference to address the issue of communicating knowledge from the social and human sciences to the public. We invite proposals for twenty-minute papers from researchers in the human and social sciences and from practitioners (including representatives of community organizations, researchers working in public and government organizations, presidents of learned societies, and graduate students, among others) who face the challenge of communicating specialized research to the public.
This conference will be held at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, on June 1, 2005, with the support of the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences and the Canadian International Development Agency (subject to the acceptance of this proposal by CRHSS and CIDA).
Context
As Canada keeps building its civil society, citizens, policymakers, businesses, community organizations, workplace professionals, and other stakeholders depend on research in the social and human sciences to address the most pressing social problems, such as poverty, illiteracy, high dropout rates in schools, lack of social integration of minorities, and intolerance, to name but a few. Although research in the social and human sciences has grown rapidly, critics have argued that it has had little impact on the stakeholders who are to benefit from this research as they make decisions about the future of Canada's civil society. Despite very successful projects such as the Public Knowledge Project at the University of British Columbia, much work remains to be done to overcome the public perception that the millions of dollars invested in the social and human sciences do not sufficiently benefit the public. If this problem is not addressed, citizens and other stakeholders of research in the social and human sciences will not be able to reap the benefits of this research in strengthening Canada's civil society. Moreover, if the public does not perceive the impact of research in the social and human sciences as valuable, the public may be less inclined to fund it.
Knowledge in the social and human sciences tends to be highly contextualized, interactive, and collaborative. It is often tied to the values, beliefs, and goals of the communities in which it is created or used. As a result, applying research results to different contexts is rarely a simple matter of transfer or dissemination of neutral information that could easily be plugged into any human context. Likewise, ethical concerns in research communication differ as well, including such questions as empowerment, decolonization, sensitivity to local practices, collecting data with research participants rather than about them or speaking with rather than about or for research participants.
In light of these particular characteristics of research in the social and human sciences, we invite researchers and practitioners to participate in a multidisciplinary conference to address one or several of the following issues:
- How has the impact of research in the social and human sciences been communicated to stakeholders so far?
- What particular practices of communication, collaboration, and interactive engagement characterize processes of research communication in the social and human sciences?
- How do these practices vary across different social and human sciences?
- How can these practices be facilitated? What are the main challenges?
- How can the impact of research in the social and human sciences be demonstrated to the public?
- How can information be effectively communicated to heterogeneous audiences?
- How can emerging technologies and in particular open and interactive spaces such as Weblogs and Wikis be used to facilitate public engagement in the social and human sciences?
- How do professional communicators and researchers in professional communication best participate in and add value to the knowledge-making cycle in a knowledge society?
- What opportunities for civic engagement in the knowledge society do professional communication researchers need to pursue?
Although all approaches are welcome, we are particularly interested in case studies.
Proposals will be accepted until January 1, 2005. Abstracts should not exceed 250 words.
Financial support may be available for participants if this Conference proposal is accepted by the Federation and CIDA.
Please e-mail your abstract to:

Innovative Governance, Regional Development and Economic Growth: Strategic Lessons from/for Island Territories and Rural Regions
Twillingate NF.
October 12-15, 2005
Geography continues to matter at a time when globalisation, urbanization and the concentration of economic and fiscal resources suggest that cities and metropolitan areas are the ‘hot spots’ for economic development, innovation, knowledge transfer and employment creation. Island jurisdictions and rural regions risk becoming marginalised by this process of multiple agglomerations under way today. Resource scarcity, distance from markets, absence of economies of scale, a dependence on narrow ranges of local skill specialisms, exposure to serious economic shocks and a chronic population/ skill drain can combine to spell the demise of such peripheral locations. http://nre.concordia.ca/__ftp2004/twillingate_2005/Twillingate2005-outline-revised.pdf

Call for ApplicationsThese sessions are intended to give an opportunity for the sociologists using the same languages to meet, exchange experiences, present results, etc. in their own language.
The sessions could focus on the implications of the language used on the research emphases, methods, approaches, orientations, forms and styles of doing sociology. They could also become occasions for the already existing associations organized on the basis of common language, to present their achievements, and also for new ones organized along language lines to be initiated and launched.
