Fries Email: CJ_Fries(a)umanitoba.ca Telephone: 474-7871 (with voice mail) As Foucault has pointed out, the institution of medicine is about much more than providing health care. Medicine is a key apparatus of social control in advanced liberal societies such as Canada. Sociologists have been studying medicalization---the extension of scientific-medical authority into areas of social life including the tendency to view undesirable conduct as --illness? requiring medical intervention---for decades.What are the consequences of medicalization for society and how we understand ourselves? In which ways are the engines of medicalization shifting? How is medicalization part of larger cultural developments in the societies of the West? What role do the --psy? disciplines play in a medicalized framing of the self? These questions and debates, among others, will be examined in this seminar through the detailed and critical consideration of three recent texts concerning the sociological and philosophical consequences of medicalization. _Student Providing Aligned Research and Knowledge (SPARK) Pilot Program <http://www.csps-efpc.gc.ca/dpr/spark-eclair/index-eng.asp>_ It is with great enthusiasm that I am writing to provide you with information on the Canada School of Public Service's _Student Providing Aligned Research and Knowledge (SPARK) Pilot Program <http://www.csps-efpc.gc.ca/dpr/spark-eclair/index-eng.asp>_. SPARK is operated in partnership with the Public Service Commission, as part of their Research Affiliate Program (RAP). Under the program, selected graduate students work from their campus location; are paid for research projects in the field of public administration and public policy; gain knowledge and experience addressing practical, real-life issues; and can potentially be hired into an indeterminate position upon graduation. Students can also receive course credit for their SPARK project if the following requirements are met: * The student is enrolled in a course that is scheduled concurrently with their employment under SPARK; * The research being conducting under SPARK is of applicable subject matter; and * The course professor and the hiring organization are aware of and in agreement with the arrangement. Examples of projects undertaken to date include researching: * Selected Economic Trends in Canada's Economic Regions from 1996 to 2006; and * International experiences in addressing the misuse of alcohol, and addressing the misuse and diversion of pharmaceuticals. We kindly seek your assistance to share this information with all graduate students who might be interested in this opportunity. Students can view and apply for jobs at: http://jobs-emplois.gc.ca/rap-par/index-eng.htm. SPARK opportunities are clearly indentified in the title of the posting under the link "Current opportunities <http://jest-orae.psc-cfp.gc.ca/JEST-ORAE/advsrch.do?cnsrch=1&lang=en&p=10>", and will be made available on an on-going basis -- so it is important for students to check the site regularly. For more information on the program and application process, please consult the SPARK website <http://www.csps-efpc.gc.ca/dpr/spark-eclair/index-eng.asp>.
