Winter 2011
Volume 1, Issue 1
The Prentice Institute will excel at re-searching
the changing human population
and its potential impacts on social and
economic issues, and communicating its
findings widely.
The Prentice Institute and its research
collaborators seek to understand long-term
changes in the human and economic
environments, within a historical context,
with particular attention to the role human
actions play in influencing those out-comes.
We conduct and integrate research on the
dynamics of Canadian and global demog-raphy
and their impacts on economic well-being
through migration, culture, trade
and natural resource availability.
We communicate widely the output of our
work and that of others to stimulate fur-ther
research and to enable individuals,
governments, and corporations to make
better-informed decisions. We educate
students and future researchers.
Each term the Prentice Insti-tute
holds Prentice Brown-bag
series. For Spring 2011,
the series will take place in
the Prentice Boardroom
(L1102)from 12 noon to 1:30
pm. All are welcome to bring
a lunch & attend.

Welcome to the inaugural
issue of The Prentice Post,
your source for updates on
the Prentice Institute’s activi-ties,
initiatives and research
affiliate profiles. We hope to
electronically publish The
Prentice Post twice yearly
with a wide and expanding
readership.
The Prentice Institute for
Global Population and Econ-omy
became fully operational
in mid-2009 with my appoint-ment
as Director and Prentice
Research Chair. It is my hon-our
to have been selected to
lead the Institute in its early
stages. Interim Director
Trevor Harrison (Sociology),
now Associate Director of the
Institute, made important
strides with the policy dia-logues
and hosting distin-guished
speakers such as
Margaret MacMillan (Oxford
University historian) and
David Foot (University of To-ronto
economist). Alexander
Darku (Economics) is now
also Associate Director of the
Institute.
Consistent with our mandate
to research the changing
human population, we are
actively building research
capacity, doing new research,
communicating our research
widely, as well as educating
students and future research-ers.
On all fronts, we are
grateful for the support and
partnership of the University
of Lethbridge.
In this first issue of The Pren-tice
Post, we are pleased to
share glimpses of what’s new
and happening at the Pren-tice.
As well, we profile Pren-tice
Institute Research Affili-ate,
Dr. Reginald Bibby’s
research.
In subsequent issues, we will
profile other of our Research
Affiliates.
We hope you will enjoy The
Prentice Post, and will feel
free to visit our evolving web-site:

Wishing you, yours and the
world a good 2011.

The Prentice Institute currently has 20 research affiliates from 8 different University of
Lethbridge departments, These researchers are very productive—please link to the Prentice
Institute website at www.uleth.ca/prenticeinstitute/current_research/publications for a list
of current publications, and information about the Institute.
Future plans include invitations to researchers at key institutions in Canada, the U.S., and
internationally, in keeping with the mandate of the Institute, and University priorities, as well
as building international partnerships with sister institutes. Researchers affiliated with the
Prentice Institute have been successful in obtaining several new grants. Our researchers
have given local, national and international invited talks, addresses and research papers.
The Prentice Institute research has been covered in the Globe and Mail, and the CBC as
well as multiple other news media, both at home and internationally.
Two Policy Dialogue Sessions have been held in the Prentice Institute,.
The 2008 sessions dealt with issues of health; food security, geopolitical implications of
population change, Aboriginal peoples and labour markets, statistical and methododologi-cal
issues in the study of population and economics, immigration and labour markets, and
international migration.
In 2009 sessions included the role of policy and innovation in crises; the importance of
demographic shifts in age structure, and the growing socio-economic inequalities that effect
health.
A featured speaker, Dr. David Foot from the University of Toronto, spoke on "Inevitable Sur-prises:
Demographics and Economics in a Global Context."
Ali Fakih joined the
Institute in July
2010, as Research
Analyst. He is work-ing
on a three year
term appointment,
and also completing
his Ph.D. through
University of Mont-real,
in the field of
Applied Economics.
Dr. Kathrin Komp is a
postdoctoral re-searcher
at the Pren-tice
Institute. She
holds a PhD in sociol-ogy
from Free Univer-sity
Amsterdam. Her
research interests are
in life course, com-parative
international
research and re-search
methods.
Prentice Institute Staff and Postdoctoral Fellow
Sheila Matson is
the Administrative
Assistant to the
Director of the
Prentice
Institute.
Dr. Reginald Bibby, Research
Affiliate of the Prentice Insti-tute
and Professor, Sociology,
University of Lethbridge, is a
leading expert on Canadian
social trends, conducting
nationwide surveys since the
1970s. His Project Canada
surveys look at every aspect
of Canadians’ beliefs and
attitudes, from religion to
rock and sports.
His new book (January 2011),
Beyond the Gods and Back:
Religion’s Demise and Rise
and Why It Matters is a new
look at global data trends
and tendencies. Dr. Bibby’s
earlier “Gods” books have
focussed on understanding
Canadians’ beliefs in light of
significant social trends post
1960s. His new research
allows a thorough analysis of
religious and spiritual trends
in Canada, the United States,
and the British Isles as well
as in countries with religious
monopolies, like Muslim
countries, and countries with
a mainly non-religious orien-tation.
Dr. Bibby finds that Canada is
far from the bottom of the list
in terms of secularization.
Despite growing polarization
in Canada, as far as religious
beliefs and practices are con-cerned,
Bibby finds that
church attendance has not
changed much over the past
30 years.
“In the past, efforts to put
Canadian research findings
into cross-cultural perspective
have been limited primarily to
comparisons with the United
States and Britain. The
new data that are now avail-able
make it possible to look
at Canada relative to the en-tire
globe. The view is spec-tacular.
The global findings
force all of us to rethink our
comparative generalizations
about religion in Canada.”
“Further, relative to the rest
of the world, we are not par-ticularly
religious nor are we
particularly secular. The
name of the game in Canada
is polarization. We have a
fairly stable core who value
faith, and growing core who
don't, and a declining seg-ment
of ambivalent people in
between.”
“The findings focus on the ‘so
what?’ question - the implica-tions
for quality of life of Can-ada
experiencing grow-ing
religious polarization. Put
in global perspective, the
answer is, ‘Not a great deal’
when it comes to personal
happiness and the meeting of
spiritual needs. But the find-ings
also point to the loss of
an important source
of social civility, and a major
‘hit’ when it comes to how
Canadians deal with death.”
