This week, we're catching up with the one and only Mark Bezanson—a musician, educator, and all-around Nova Scotia treasure! From his early days studying at StFX to a decades-long teaching career (where Kristen even played in his band class!), Mark's love for music has always been front and center.   Now in his final year of teaching at Middleton High School, he's riding the emotional rollercoaster of retirement while looking ahead to new adventures—travel, performing with Joker's Right Band, and celebrating his solo album Wire and Wood. We chat about our shared love for the Annapolis Valley, the beauty of Nova Scotia, and the importance of community in both music and life.   Mark is one of the kindest souls you'll ever meet, and his passion for music and people shines through in every story he shares. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation with someone who was truly born to play!   Us on the web: www.mikeandkristen.ca Instagram: www.instagram.com/mike_and_kristen/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mikeandkristencreative Shoot us a message!

I start this episode by discussing a visit I had with 4th year forensic psychology students at St. F.X., their thoughts on my Deficits of Trust report, and on the psychology of the killer, Gabriel Wortman. This week also saw the federal government file its defense to the lawsuit started by Wortman's spouse, Lisa Banfield. I discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the defense. The murder trial of William Sandeson took a dramatic turn this week, with Sandeson himself taking the stand and (for the first time) claiming that he shot Taylor Samson in self-defense. I go through he claims, and evaluate how the Crown's case is now looking, as well as what kind of special instruction the judge may now have to provide to the jury. This week in Canadian law, non-disclosure agreements and bail reform were under discussion at the Canadian Bar Association conference. Justice Minister Lametti suggested that the federal government will heed the calls from the opposition and the Premiers to make changes to our bail system for alleged offenses where guns are involved. I also review the change of plea for former MLA Hugh MacKay, the proposed class action lawsuit against the Canadian Hockey League, Dalhousie Law students claims of racism, and the Law Society of Alberta vote on mandatory education on indigenous legal culture and traditions.

The StFX X-Men football team had a big year. They went undefeated in Atlantic University Sport play, to claim their second Loney Bowl trophy in a row. To top it all off, coach Gary Waterman was named U Sports Coach of the Year. He talks about what it took to get there.

The drive towards cooperative development and self determination started in Nova scotia in the 30s is known as the Antigonish Movement. This weekend two people from that community will be recognized at STFX for their work in furthering those goals - both at home and abroad. We'll hear from both of them.

It was a recent tweet from Mi'kmaw educator Jarvis Googoo that prompted this conversation. He has been using his social media account to share information and stories about Indigenous History in the time before and after the settlers arrived in Mi'kma'ki, the ancestral and traditional lands of the Mi'kmaq people. June is Indigenous History Month and there has been a renewed interest in teaching all of us about what it means to be "treaty people". The particular post was about Donald Marshall Jr. Googoo wrote about how Marshall was wrongfully convicted of murder and imprisoned for 11 years for a crime he never committed. He was also responsible for the 1999 Supreme Court of Canada ruling upholding the Mi'kmaq right to fish for a moderate livelihood. Marshall, or Junior as he's also known, was the subject of a 2018 book by StFX anthropology professor Dr. L. Jane McMillan. She was also Junior's partner in life, and fishing, until his passing in 2009. McMillan describes the man, his journey and his impact on the indigenous fishing industry in this conversation about Truth and Conviction: Donald Marshall Jr. and the Mi'kmaw Quest for Justice.

Canada's most trusted higher ed monitor, Ken Steele, counts down the ten biggest trends impacting North American higher education in 2015, from equity and politics to new technologies and new business models. Intro: 2015 was a rough year, from terrorist attacks in France and extreme weather in Texas and California, to the Volkswagen emissions scandal and the surprising rise of Donald Trump. But we also saw the launch of the Apple Watch, the Lexus hoverboard, and Nike self-lacing shoes. And there was a profound leftward shift in Canadian politics, from Rachel Notley's NDP in Alberta to Dwight Ball's Liberals in Newfoundland, and of course the second prime minister Trudeau. But there was also no shortage of developments directly affecting higher education. Some we have covered in previous episodes of this podcast, and others will deserve more attention soon. Here are Ken’s picks for the top ten. 10) Gender Equity: From pay equity settlements and campaigns to encourage female enrolment in Engineering, to sexism in social media, and in nominations for the Science and Engineering Hall of Fame, gender can't be ignored when we look back at 2015. Dedicated episode at https://youtu.be/-mm5gjGZEUU Full OUSA “Bachelorette Degree” video at https://youtu.be/NtIGkB9R32Y 9) Open Textbooks: Electronic textbooks are being explored, particularly at Olds and Algonquin colleges, but last year we saw real momentum building for open texts – free, online, peer-reviewed textbooks. California, BC, and Manitoba have committed funding to so-called “Textbook Zero” programs, which can reduce student attrition by 10%. And the US Congress is again considering the Affordable College Textbook Act, to encourage the development and adoption of open text alternatives. Dedicated episode at https://youtu.be/FNLaLr94ppg 8) Contingent Faculty: Last year the “new faculty majority,” untenured part-time sessional instructors, joined fast-food workers on the picket line in the US to fight for a $15 minimum wage. While the situation in Canada is somewhat better, striking sessionals at York University still made national headlines. Dedicated episode at https://youtu.be/Kyld_inHp1Y 7) Drones: Consumer drones hit the mainstream last year, about 4.3 million of them worldwide. They’re being used to patrol college entrance exams in China, and have entered the curriculum for programs in journalism, video, agriculture and firefighting, among others. But drones really took over last year in PSE marketing departments, with everybody featuring aerial footage in their videos. MIT Drone Admissions video at https://youtu.be/zjw9-E3_GbM 6) Academic Journals: A study published last year found that as much as 70% of scholarly output in some disciplines is in the hands of just 5 multinational publishing companies, and since publication determines tenure, promotion, research grants and university rankings, these corporations are the de facto “power brokers” of higher ed. They are posting better profit margins than Apple, and institutions from McGill to Harvard are finding they can no longer afford to subscribe to scholarly journals. Last year we saw editors and editorial boards quit in protest over pay-to-play peer review, extortionate subscription rates, and extensive peer review fraud. 5) Double-Dipping: Last year there was also a groundswell of protest against generous executive pensions and administrative leave, allowing university presidents in particular to “double-dip” and get paid double their salary, or their salary in addition to pension in retirement. Western University president Amit Chakma took the brunt of the outrage, but other cases included Michael Goldbloom at Bishop’s, Arvind Gupta at UBC, Heather Munroe-Blum at McGill, Tom Traves at Dalhousie, and Sean Riley at StFX. When a scarcity mentality sets in, people start looking for scapegoats, and presidents are tempting targets. Next time, we’ll finish this countdown with the 4 biggest trends affecting higher ed last year, from political correctness to major demographic shifts.

This month, the story of Adrian Adalberto Castillo, who graduated from Coady in 1963 and returned to build the co-op movement in Guatemala. His family was worried that he would return from Canada with blue eyes and would forget to speak Spanish.

2015 was a rough year, from terrorist attacks in France and extreme weather in Texas and California, to the Volkswagen emissions scandal and the surprising rise of Donald Trump. But we also saw the launch of the Apple Watch, the Lexus hoverboard, and Nike self-lacing shoes. And there was a profound leftward shift in Canadian politics, from Rachel Notley’s NDP in Alberta to Dwight Ball’s Liberals in Newfoundland, and of course the second prime minister Trudeau. But there was also no shortage of developments directly affecting higher education. Some we have covered in previous episodes of this podcast, and others will deserve more attention soon.

In this week's 7-minute podcast, Ken Steele summarizes a variety of low-tech and high-tech ways in which universities attempt to bring a virtual campus to the largest PSE trade show in North America, the Ontario Universities' Fair. At #OUF2015, many universities use large campus photography or ever-larger video displays, capped off with Trent University's "jumbotron" screen. For several years now, Laurentian University has recreated their campus in miniature in their "5D presentation room." This year, Wilfrid Laurier University added a large touchscreen "virtual map" of campus to their exhibit, and UOIT partnered with Oculus Rift to deliver a virtual reality campus tour for the first time. Although virtual maps and VR helmets do give a good sense of the physical buildings on campus, they still need to bring to life the faculty and students who inhabit the campus. St Francis Xavier University had a good idea when they brought a live video wall to the OUF a few years ago, allowing prospective students and parents to interact with faculty and students in real time on the StFX campus. Subscribers to Ken Steele's free email newsletter, the Eduvation Loop, got access to the complete episode 9 of Ten with Ken more than a week early.  For exclusive preview access to future episodes, be sure to subscribe to Eduvation's "in the loop" email newsletter, at http://www.eduvation.ca/subscribe/
