Committee on the Professional Education of Native Students

Subseries consists of records pertaining to Dr. Baine’s involvement with the Faculty of Medicine Task Force on Native Canadian Students and the Professional Education of Native Students Committee (PENSC). The Task Force was established in late 1982 to determine why little-to-no Indigenous students were enrolled at the Faculty of Medicine and how to rectify the situation. As a member of the Task Force, Dr. Baines sought out and provided information about Indigenous participation in health-related programs in the United States. In 1983, Dr. Baines became the Chair of the newly created PENSC which aimed to advise the University of Toronto on how to improve Indigenous participation in professional programs. During this time, he organized a workshop to discuss barriers and improvements to Indigenous professional education at the University of Toronto. The workshop involved various representatives from post-secondary institutions, Indigenous communities and organizations, and the Federal and Provisional Governments; it served to inform the final position paper released by PENSC in December 1983. The recommendations outlined by this report were critical to the development and establishment of the AHPP.

Research Opportunity Course (ROC) - POL397/POL487/POL477

Records in this subseries consists of material for POL397 (later POL487, POL477) Research Opportunity Course (ROC). This Research Opportunity Course on North American governance emerged in the summer of 2001 as a way to involve undergraduate students in the developing relationship between the University of Toronto and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington with which Clarkson was affiliated. Clarkson personally recruited half a dozen senior undergraduates by approaching students with the best marks who had registered for his classes and offering them the chance to switch into a Research Opportunity Course in which they would contribute directly to his own research. Students were given some leeway to pursue their own particular interests within the general framework of the project, which revolved around the governance in North America under NAFTA and after September 11, 2001. Clarkson received financing from the University of Toronto’s dean of the Political Sciences Faculty to bring students to Washington for a week, where they were hosted by the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.
