Get PDFTouchy Topics: The Imperial Public Anxiety and Null Curriculum of Sexuality in Late Nineteenth- and Early Twentieth-Century Britain
Get PDFAt the height of British imperial power and global influence in the late nineteenth- and early twentieth century, Britainâs populace and intellectuals alike frequently saw one fitting comparison in patriotically describing their Empire: the might of Britain, in their eyes, resembled that of the Roman Empire. To the dismay of many, however, such a comparison extended not only to Romeâs dominance but its demise as well. The fall of Rome was described in Britain as being the result of moral degradation, paralyzing the Empire from within. With the rise of social Darwinism, moreover, the strength of the British Empire, like that of Rome, soon came to be associated with the strength of the individuals that comprised the state. While troops fought for Queen and Country abroad, an alternative frontline of childhood sexual deviance, in the eyes of many, threatened the British Empire internally. An examination of the actions and policies of the perceived soldiers of this frontline, teachers and headmasters, is attempted here through the theoretical lens of null curriculum. Null curriculum signifies not what is taught publicly, but rather expressed and learned through absence. Despite public calls to arms against male sexuality in the speeches, publications, letters and policy documents of teachers and headmasters, the sexual regulation of boys in public schools was seemingly silent and largely reserved to the null curriculum
Cuts and Censorship: Challenges in Assessing Substance Use Programs for Men in Canadian Federal Corrections
Get PDFApproximately three quarters of men in Canadian federal prisons have a substance use problem that played a role in their offenses. Guided by a rehabilitative mandate, the Canadian federal corrections system includes substance use programs as a key component of its service. The Corrections and Conditional Release Act places the responsibility for the design, provision, and evaluation of rehabilitative programs on Correctional Service Canada (CSC), giving CSC considerable freedom in how it constructs and delivers services. This freedom, while increasing flexibility, warrants an investigation into CSCâs design and implementation of substance use services. This paper reviews academic and government literature to determine the overall adequacy of CSCâs substance use services for men, using the Canadian Association of Social Workersâ Code of Ethics as an ethical framework for analysis. This analysis demonstrates that CSC has not provided enough concurrent treatment for substance use and mental health disorders and that further study is needed to determine the efficacy of existing programs. However, due to recent funding cuts to CSCâs Addictions Research Centre, and its insular research climate, CSCâs capacity to address these issues is questionable. While funding cuts disguised as âconsolidationâ are common in the public service sector, reports of censorship and hostile attitudes towards researchers emerging from a federally funded institution are cause for concern and deserving of increased public awareness. Political and practical implications of these results are considered, and solutions are proposed
