HEAD NOTES
The past twelve months have been productive for
our department. The fall 2008 term started off
with a strategic planning session attended by
Sociology faculty and instructors where we
engaged in talk about ‘pods’ and ‘clusters’ as a way
to reorganize our research and teaching interests.
Other developments are underway, including
planning for a new course on ‘social issues and
film’ that will be team taught by Sociology faculty
members—so stay tuned on that front.
The year was productive in several other ways.
The department is pleased to welcome two new
faculty members. Mark Hudson (Ph.D., U of
Oregon) specializes in political economy,
globalization, environmental sociology, social
movements, political sociology, and historical
methods. Mark holds a joint position between
Sociology and the Global Political Economy
(GPE) program, and will serve as the Coordinator
of GPE. Jason Edgerton (ABD, U of Manitoba)
specializes in quantitative research methods, social
inequality, comparative social policy, the sociology
of education and work, and race/ethnicity and
immigration. In addition to joining our team of
methodologists, Jason will teach a course in the
Sociology of Education (SOC3730) this year.
Also this year, two of our colleagues—Susan
Prentice and Jane Ursel—were promoted to full
professor and two of our senior scholars—G. N.
Ramu and Alexander Segall—were honoured at
the UM spring 2008 convocation with the title of
Professor Emeritus [see next page].
As the pages of this newsletter confirm, our
faculty and students have had a very productive
year—and the next one promises to be just as
successful.

University 1 Teaching Award:
Mary-Anne Kandrack
Mary-Anne Kandrack is one of three instructors
who will be awarded the University 1 Teaching
Excellence Award for 2008-09. The award is offered
to the teacher of a University 1 course who: was
instrumental in helping students make a successful
academic and personal transition to the U of M;
and/or stimulated the students’ interest in the
subject area he/she taught; and/or was
enthusiastic, organized, and facilitated effective
learning.
One of Mary-Anne’s nominators had this to say
about her: “I was encouraged to think and see
things differently, things I never realized before…
She engaged us in conversation. I learned
something valuable, not only about the course but
about life in general. It made a difference in the
way I think about university… I learned life lessons
about discrimination and hierarchy.”
The award will be presented to Mary-Anne at the
University 1 Teaching and Learning reception in
November, 2009.

Professors Emeriti:
G.N.Ramu and A. Segall
The honourary title of Professor
Emeritus/ Emerita is conferred after
retirement upon members of the
university faculty who have held the rank
of Professor and have rendered
distinguished service to the university
through their teaching, research, and
scholarship.
The
UM
Sociology
Department is proud to add two more
names to our list of Professors Emeriti.
appointments in a number of faculties
and
departments,
including
the
Department of Community Health
Sciences, the Faculty of Medicine, and
the Centre on Aging, and has an
outstanding record of community service
relating to the health care field.
Recognized with a National Health
Research Scholar Award from Health
Canada, Segall is also a committed
educator who has mentored dozens of
graduate students since he joined the
department in 1971.
Meet the Graduate
Students: An Interview
with Jasmine Thomas
Since joining the Sociology Department
in 1972, Dr. G.N. Ramu has made
significant and lasting contributions to
his discipline. As editor of the first
Canadian texts in Introductory Sociology
and Sociology of the Family, he played an
instrumental role in the Canadianization
of Sociology. Ramu was actively involved
in the Canadian Sociology and
Anthropology Association, the Western
Association
of
Sociology
and
Anthropology, and the Shastri IndoCanadian Institute—including serving
terms as President. Specializing in the
sociology of marriage and family and the
sociology of development, Ramu is
widely recognized as a serious and
prolific scholar. His contribution to the
profession was recognized in 2006 when
the Canadian Sociology Association
presented him with the Distinguished
Service Award.
Dr. Alexander Segall has devoted his
academic career to the interdisciplinary
study of the social dimensions of health
and illness. As a result of his
commitment to sociology, the U of M is
home to one of the most comprehensive
health sociology programs in the country.
For the past decade, Segall has been the
Principal Investigator for the Wellness
Institute Services Evaluation Research
(WISER) Program. He has also held
Jasmine Thomas, one of our Master’s
students, is set to begin a Ph.D. in
Sociology at the University of Alberta
this fall. Russell Smandych, Sociability
editor, sat down with Jasmine to discuss
her experience as a grad student at the U
of Manitoba.
professors here are really accessible and
very helpful, and also the department is
very democratic about committees like
hiring committees and Departmental
Council so that we are very well
integrated in the department.
RS: What about the courses that you took and
how did they help you in attempting to achieve
the goals that you set for yourself in your
program?
JT: I was actually really lucky in that the
courses that were offered while I was
doing my coursework were a good fit for
my research interests. For example, my
research interest is ethnic relations and
there was a course offered on that. And
also there was a course offered on
genocide, which is another issue I am
very interested in. So I was lucky in that
sense. Also, the methodology course I
took this year really prepared me for not
only my research but for the future as
well.
RS: I am interested in learning more about how
you went about doing your M.A. research in the
department. What was your M.A. project about,
and how did you go about finding a faculty
advisor to work with?
RS: What was your experience like in the
Master’s program now that you are finished and
heading off to do your Ph.D. at the University of
Alberta?
JT: Well, I did my undergrad at the U of
M and so I decided to continue on with
my Master’s here, and I feel that it was a
really good decision because the
department here really takes on sort of a
mentorship role and the faculty are really
interested in partnering with students to
do research and conference presentations
and stuff like that. But I think what I
found the most useful was the fact that
JT: For my undergrad honours thesis I
did a study related to ethnic relations, so
for my Master’s I thought I would
continue along those lines, and Dr. Lori
Wilkinson agreed to be my advisor. I
consulted with Dr. Wilkinson on
potential research topics and she was
very helpful in suggesting a number of
different possible research projects. This
led me eventually to develop my primary
research question, which was ‘how do
immigrant youth find employment in
Winnipeg?’ From there, my research
expanded to include questions like ‘what
is the role of social service organizations
in providing employment services and
assistance to newcomer immigrant youth
in the city of Winnipeg?’ It didn’t take me
very long to come to this research topic
once I finished my coursework. I think
it’s really significant because in Canada
almost 20 percent of people were born
outside of the country and those
numbers are only increasing. But
specifically in Manitoba, we have
something called the Provincial Nominee
Program, and about 10,000 or 11,000
2
people a year are coming to Manitoba,
and it’s one of the most successful
programs that Labour and Immigration
has. So, I mean, that’s a significant
proportion of people and we have to
make sure there are services available for
anyone who needs them. Also, the issue
of inequality is something I am very
concerned about and I don’t think people
should be discriminated against, so I
think that’s kind of the activism side of
what I am looking at.
RS: How well do you think the M.A. program
at the U of M helped you prepare to go on to do
your Ph.D., and what is your advice to other
students who are applying to Ph.D. programs?
JT: I feel that the M.A. program at the U
of M really prepared me for the Ph.D.
because we have a thesis requirement. I
applied to five different schools and I got
accepted to all of them. A lot of other
schools don’t have as rigorous a thesis
process as the one we have, which
includes a full thesis committee and a
thesis defence, and I think this really
helped prepare me for what’s ahead in
my Ph.D. My advice to other students is
to go to your M.A. thesis advisor and
other faculty for advice on Ph.D.
programs to apply to and find out what
faculty at different universities are
working on that fits with your research
interests. It is really important that there
is someone you can work with at
whichever school you apply to.
RS: One of the things that make or break a
graduate student’s experience is the student
culture in the department and peer support.
What was your experience with these during your
years in the department as an undergraduate and
graduate student?
JT: I had a lot of fun, and I’ve made a lot
of good friends, from my undergrad right
up to the present. There are still people I
see from my undergrad and we check up
on each other to see how we’re doing. I
mean, everyone who comes into the
department each year is welcomed by
other students and we all try to help each
other. If we’re taking classes together we
will try to share ideas. Aside from
academically, we like to go out now and
then when we have a bit of free time
(laugh), so that’s been really nice.
Everyone’s been really great, and I’ve
made some really good friends.
RS: Where do you see yourself going with your
future career as a sociologist?
JT: As a scholar, I really think that you
have to take issues of social justice to
heart. You really have to try and get out
there in the community and make sure
that your research is relevant. I always
feel that being a scholar is directly related
to activism, and I know that there are
people out there that disagree with that,
but that is my own way of looking at it
and I feel it is our duty as academics,
even though it is very multi-dimensional.
“A lot of other schools don’t
have as rigorous a thesis
process as the one we have,
which includes a full thesis
committee and a thesis
defence, and I think this
really helped prepare me for
what’s ahead in my Ph.D.”
RS: Is there anything you would like to leave as
words of wisdom for students thinking of
graduate school or are already in the Master’s or
even the Ph.D. program?
JT: Well, I think that it’s definitely not an
easy road, but you really can’t let little
challenges get you down because there
are always going to be challenges that you
face; you know, like you either have to
re-write your proposal or you might have
personal issues that come up and delay
your studies. But it’s a process and you
have to look at it as a process, and even
when writing your thesis, don’t look at it
as a huge single project but think of it as
a series of smaller papers. Another piece
of advice is don’t be afraid to go talk to
people in the department, either fellow
graduate students or professors, because
I’ve found everyone is very helpful and
very willing to put a bit of time into
making sure that you succeed, so don’t
be shy.
Where Are They Now?
