FACULTY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES MONA Year ending July 31, 2002 Professor Barrington Chevannes, BA, MA Boston Coll, MSc UWI, PhD Col – Dean 295 296 DEAN'S OVERVIEW A year ago I reported to Faculty my assessment that our Faculty founditself in a better state than it had been the previous year, citing as evidence improvement in morale, a rise in productivity and continued excellent teaching. Now I can report that this trend not only continues, but has scaled to such qualitatively new levels as to warrant the conclusion that the Faculty has now reached a new plateau, where our main challenge, by way of consolidating our achievements, is to prepare for a new assault to further levels of excellence, there to restore and enhance the international reputation of the Faculty. 105 lectures, including 22 Temporary plus 39 Associate Lecturers and 22 Teaching Assistants. A complement of 166, taught 171 graduate and 393 undergraduate courses to 36920 students, supported at the undergraduate level by scores of tutors, mainly our postgraduate students. If to these figures were added those delivered in our Distance degree programme, the sum total would be great indeed, for there were over 2000 students in Franchised programmes and 183 in our Joint Degree Programme with the University of Technology. A small core of our Lecturers safeguard the quality of our three Certificate programmes franchised to eleven Tertiary Level Institutions by setting examinations and second-marking the examination scripts.

Credit must go to the leadership of the University, in particular the Principal for his encouragement of a research culture. The ‘Best Publication’ competition launched by him received over 50 entries from our Staff at short notice. 297 Professor Alfred Francis, Professor Gordon Shirley, Professor Edwin Jones and Mrs Hermione McKenzie served as judges, and awarded the top prizes to: Barry Chevannes, Learning to Be A Man: Culture, Gender and Socialisation in Five Caribbean Communities.

UWI Press, 2000. and to Alvin Wint and Dillon Alleyne for best research projects. Never before in the history of the Faculty have so many held Mona Research Fellowships at one time. At the end of May 2002, there were 12 awarded to members of Faculty, of which 8 were approved for a second year and four about to start. Thus, at present there are twelve recipients of Research Fellowships. Additionally, six young scholars have been awarded sizeable sums of money under the ‘New Initiative Grants’, totalling over $3m. On our part, the Faculty provided just under $1m for colleagues to make conference presentations outside the region, and $53,000 for research assistance, and $375,000 in support of conferencing activities on the Campus. The 99 conference presentations at the UWI and overseas, and the ten conferences and symposia planned and held on the Campus, testify to the intellectual energy that is at last in flow. Among the conferences we held here during the Academic Year were: • Second International Conference on Caribbean Culture (in honour of Kamau Brathwaite, and in collaboration with the Faculty of Humanities and Education) • International Symposium in honour of Sylvia Wynter • Symposium on the Contribution of Clement ‘Coxone’ Dodd to Jamaican Music • Conference on Privatization 298 • Symposium on Social Protection and Employment • Symposium on the Life and Work of Erna Brodber (in collaboration with the Faculty of the Humanities and Education) • Colloquium on Anti-worker Adjustments to Workplace Governance • Conference on Executive Agencies in action The intellectual vigour is not confined to publications and conference presentations. Led by its Head, the Department of Sociology proposed and delivered two computer-based summer workshops for academic staff, one on quantitative and the other on qualitative research. Both were extremely well attended and received by the staff. And out of the same Department has come a new journal of ideas called IDEAZ. Graduate Teaching Our number of postgraduate students stood at 821, of which 49 are pursuing research degrees, and the rest Master's. This is still below the 20% of total enrollment target of the University as a whole but more than 8% over the 757 persons enrolled in 2000-2001. Three new MSc programmes are in the main responsible for the upward trend, Clinical Psychology, Governance, and Social Policy. A number of comments are in order. First an MPhil through-put rate of 4 years for full timers and a rate of 6 years for part-timers are not satisfactory. The PhD rate, on the other hand, appears reasonable, given the ratio of 3:1 part-time over full time. Research degree students are now able to access loans, but the terms are still unfavourable to the creation of a graduate culture, since there is no grace period for the servicing of the loans. PhD students are usually men and women who have already started families of their own. To encourage them to come in full time would require better loan conditions, and until these are favourable, we are not going to see much improvement in our full time intake. MSc/MBA Total Enrolment Year MSc/MSW MBA/EMBA TOTAL 1998 515 321 836 1999 516 368 884 2000 492 220 712 2001 563 209 772 299 Over the last two years we have slipped below enrollment figures for 1998 and 1999. We have to seriously consider whether the target is realistic outside of an increase in staff complement.

The mad last minute rush, the crush in the Dean's Office, the long queues of appellants, all disappeared. There were two reasons for this. The first was the change in policy whereby applicants were given firm offers as early as March-April. Those failing to gain the requisite 2 Advanced Level subjects or the Caribbean Advanced-level Programme Examinations were assured of a space, but part time. The Admissions Department has yet to assess how many of those given firm offers actually made the full matriculation requirement, information which would guide how we go about next year’s selection. Second, the Dean's Office took the decision to carry the registration to the students rather than have them come to us, by setting up a number of communication points outside the Office, rationalising the needs, enlisting and training staff to handle them, and thus not only distributing the students, but being able to manage their registration expeditiously. The past year saw the coming on stream of several new courses and approval of new programmes and courses to come on stream 2002-2003. New courses Entrepreneurship and New Venture Creation (DOMS) Monitoring and Evaluation of Social Programmes (Sociology) Health, Society and Human Services (Social Work) Human Behaviour: Person in Environmental Perspective (Social Work) Applied Social Work (Social Work) New Programmes Banking and Finance (DOE and DOMS) Marketing Operations Human Resources Anthropology (Minor) Undergraduate teaching remains a big challenge, largely because the numbers are so great. However, the quality, judging from the evaluations, remains high. 301 The Dean's Breakfast Club membership singles out the brightest and most rounded students, presenting us with an opportunity to mentor a narrower set of gifted and promising students. In the coming year, the building of an Honours programme around this core is a major priority. OUTREACH AND DISTANCE EDUCATION The office of Outreach and Distance continued to play a pivotal role in the accomplishment of the Faculty’s strategic objective to expand access to its programmes using non-traditional means. We continued to build on the relationships established with UTECH, MIND, and other TLIs. A. FRANCHISED PROGRAMMES WITH TLIs The franchised programme continues to be the main focus of our relationship with the TLIs. Now in its fourth year the programme has had its fair share of success and failure. The success lies in the continued network of relationship being built outside the main UWI system and provides an action mechanism to promote the hub/spoke philosophy of UWI’s strategic plan. We have been able, through the programme, to provide access to a large number of individuals to the UWI Certificate programmes. At the end of the academic year there were thirteen (13) institutions delivering three programmes; Certificate in Management Studies (CMS), Certificate in Public Administration (CPA) and the Certificate in Social Services (CSS), encompassing some twenty five (25) courses. C. Joint Degree (UWI/UTECH) BSc Hotel and Tourism Management The first batch of students taken in completed the programme during the academic year. Of the eighty-five (85) students fifty-six (56) students have successfully satisfied graduation requirements. We ask that Faculty recognize these students who have pioneered this programme. The Programme has undergone major curriculum restructuring which sees students pursuing courses in alternate semesters at both Campuses, thus resolving problems of timetable scheduling and shuttling between campuses. This programme remains popular, though the number of applicants has not changed much.

After a month-long programme of soliciting volunteers, the Faculty was able to secure ten persons from corporate Jamaica who agreed to assist in devising and implementing programmes for maintaining FSS alumni relations and expanding fund- raising initiatives. This Committee is scheduled to assemble this academic year and join the Administrative Officer (Communications) in creating appropriate programmes. Completion of alumni database 1995-2001. The Student Records Office, working with the Administrative Officer (Communications) was able to devise a method to provide the Faculty with a Windows-accessible version of student data from 1995 to 2001. There is an on-going project to verify contact information for these alumni. Information and Communication Technology During the year, the role that the efficient use of information technology can play in the Faculty was increasingly highlighted. Progress was made in some areas, with plans made for the 2002-2003 academic year. Through MITS’s Educational Technology allocation, the Faculty received 100 Dell computers for teaching and research purposes. In addition, computer labs received some peripheral equipment to enhance service to students and two lecture theatres were upgraded with multimedia equipment to enhance delivery of lectures. MITS also began the process of upgrading the network infrastructure by rewiring the Faculty, an upgrade that, together with new electronics will facilitate improved access to the Internet and campus server-based applications such as Banner, SRS and Campus Pipeline. Public Service and Outreach The outstanding work of the Faculty in giving of its expertise free to the society continued at the high level reported for 2001. New requests came from five multilateral agencies, the ILO, IDB, PAHO, UNESCO and UNDP, from CARICOM, from the Government of Jamaica and parastatal agencies, from the Government of Belize, and from the Private Sector. An incomplete survey of the Faculty showed members serving as Chair of or Board Director of 66 organisations: Partners for Peace Partners for Peace continued making a contribution to the restoration of peace in violence-torn communities. The past year was one marked by spurts of activities, some of these providing the group with an opportunity to assess its progress towards meeting its objectives. 303 Our tradition of meeting on the final Sunday in each month continued. An average of twenty-five representatives from approximately ten communities regularly attended the Sunday morning meetings The major activity for the year was a conference held on April 27, 2002 at the National Heroes Park, attended by 200 persons from twenty communities in Kingston, St. Andrew and St. James. The Jamaica Social Investment Fund (JSIF) was the major sponsor of the conference, which had as its theme, Communities working together for Peace and Justice. The university staff and students continued their involvement in teaching in Craig Town and August Town. Teaching was also initiated in Rose Town, where English and Social Studies classes were conducted for CXC level students. There were also classes for students preparing for the Grade Six Achievement Test (GSAT) in that community. The Way Forward The University's Strategic Plan identifies 10 objectives. The first two, student-centredness and Quality, I believe, must become the focus of the Faculty of Social Sciences. In this regard, we shall speedily clear the way for introducing an Honours Programme among our Dean's Breakfast Club members. We need to cling to our tradition of tutorials, which is to say that in the coming of Phase 3 of the Alister McIntyre Building, our plans have to make provisions for an increase in tutorial space. We need to begin lobbying as well for increases in our budget allocation. With the largest faculty at Mona we have the smallest budget. We need also to look to the professors in our midst for leadership, leadership in mentoring our junior staff, and leadership, along with all others, in mentoring our undergraduate students. The more we do this, the more we will find the Faculty of Social Sciences becoming the place to be, renowned for its excellence in the pursuit of knowledge and the formation of sound leadership. That is how we unlock the potential among our people. 304 DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS Dr. Michael Witter, BSc Ill, MSc, PhD Wisc – Head of Department The academic year 2001/2 wasagain another year dominated by the search for new faculty and the review of the department’s programmes and administrative procedures. Recruitment of Faculty We recruited three new faculty members, but only one, Dr. Abdullahi Abdulkadri will take up the post in September 2002. Dr. Zagros Sadjadi arranged to take up his post at the start of academic year 2003-4, and we expect that he will assume duties next year. The third recruit dropped out. Unfortunately, our recruit from two years earlier, Dr. Godfrey Gibbison resigned at the end of the year to take up a more lucrative offer at a USA university. Filling the vacancies continues to be the Department’s top priority. The Department also lost, temporarily we hope, the George Beckford Professor, as the Foundation that sponsors the professorship informed us that it was suspending the appointment of a new professor after the tenure of Prof. Francis was completed for want of funds. Curriculum Review Much progress was made in reviewing various components of the teaching programme. Fitting the revised components together, anticipating the demands of students, and ensuring that the Department continues to offer quality undergraduate and graduate degrees are the overarching objectives of the curriculum review. 305 One new undergraduate degree in Banking and Finance was designed jointly with the Department of Management Studies and it will be implemented next year. At the graduate level, a new option, focussing on International Trade Policy, is being worked out with the Faculty of Law. In anticipation of the delivery of courses in Law by the Law Faculty, a new graduate economic course for these students is being introduced in this academic year. The Department’s faculty members have keenly adopted new instructional techniques with the aid of multimedia technology, and have been able to use its web site as the principal means of communication, especially with students. Research Progress was also made in increasing the Department’s research output. Special mention should be made of Drs. Alleyne and King who were awarded by the Faculty of Social Science for their research. Most members were able to publish at least one paper during the academic year. Administrative review The Department has undertaken a thorough review of its administrative procedures, with a view to making the work of the office more relevant to the Department’s teaching and research while ensuring efficiency in discharging our administrative responsibilities. The Department has implemented many changes in its procedures with visible efficiency gains. We were able to draft a set of procedures for the operation of the Summer School and a handbook for students in this programme. We believe that overall it was a productive year, despite the failure to achieve the two key objectives, faculty recruitment and more rapid implementation of information technology. Both of these are critical elements in the expansion of our programmes and the improvement of the quality of our teaching and research.

Meeks, BSc, MSc, PhD, UWI – Head of Department This was another very active year for the Department of Government,with a rich variety of guests, visiting lecturers and conferences spaced throughout the academic year. In October, Ambassador Ambler Moss, Director of the North South Center at the University of Miami visited the Department. In the same month, New York University Professor of Political Science and early member of this Department, Bertell Ollman, gave a distinguished lecture hosted by the Centre for Caribbean Thought, under the theme “Why Dialectics? Why Now? Why for Jamaica?” Also in October, Bernard Crick, Emeritus Professor at the University of London, spoke on “National and Ethnic Identities in the United Kingdom”. His visit was 316 sponsored by the British Council. At the conclusion of a particularly rich month, Dr. Clinton Hutton organized, in association with King of Kings Promotions and the Tosh Intel-Diplo Foundation, a Symposium on “The Life and Work of Peter Tosh”. Presenters included Minister of Finance, Omar Davies, Drs. Michael Witter and Carolyn Cooper, reggae specialists Roger Steffens and Wayne Jobson and musician and research fellow at the Reggae Studies Unit, Ibo Cooper. In November, Professor Horace Bartilow from the University of Kentucky delivered two lectures. The first was: “Small State Leverage Against Big State Power: A Nash Equilibrium Model of the US-Caribbean Narcotic Interdiction Game”. The second was: “Local Partisans and Global Narcos? Level Game Analysis of the Global Connections of Domestic Violence in Jamaica”. Later in the month the GT38M-Theory and Practice of International Negotiations course continued a long tradition under the new guidance of Michele Lowe, with a well-organized simulation exercise of ‘the Fourth WTO Ministerial Conference in Doha’. Professor Rupert Lewis with the assistance of graduate student Nicosia Shakes successfully organised the Third Annual Conference on Political Thought by GT22A- Caribbean Political Thought students entitled: “Combating Racism and Intolerance in the 21st Century”. In December, graduate student Lisa Vasciannie presented her required seminar on “Election Monitoring: The Case of the 1997 Elections in Jamaica”.The Department was particularly pleased to have hosted the first film series in the Faculty of Social Sciences. Under the guidance of temporary lecturer, Ms. Diana Thorburn, a series of stimulating documentaries and feature-length movies were screened between February and May. Titles included ‘Lumumba’, the ‘Harder They Come’ and ‘The 50 Years War: Israel and the Arabs’. In March, Professor Paul Sutton from the University of Hull held a seminar with graduate students on “British Foreign Policy and the Caribbean”. Later in that month, the Department, through the efforts of Dr. Christine Cummings, was particularly pleased to host a lecture by renowned West Indian fast bowler and international cricket commentator Michael Holding “On West Indian Cricket”. And in early April, Dr. Cummings was also responsible for the visit of celebrated sports critic, Andrew Jennings, who spoke on “Corruption in International Sporting Bodies”. Later in the month, the Centre for Caribbean Thought hosted its second guest lecture, when Aaron Kamugisha, graduate student from the Cave Hill campus spoke on “Orientalism, Western Republicanism and the Ancient Polis: Thought on the Canon of Political Thought”. From April 1-14, the Department hosted Professor Christian Joly of L’institut d’Etudes Politiques of the University Aix-en-Provence, France. He gave three lectures to graduate students, reading GT62H. An active undergraduate seminar series continued through April. On the 19th, the Annual Garveyism Conference was hosted under the 317 theme “The Relevance of Garveyism in the 21st Century in Africa and the Diaspora”. On April 19th, His Excellency Edward Malayan, the Russian Ambassador spoke on “Soviet/Russian Relations with the USA, During and After the Cold War” to GT35M students. And from April 19-21, Mr. Louis Lindsay hosted the Annual Political Theory Seminar at the University’s guest house, Bellevue. Special guest was Dr. Richard Jacobs, Strategic Consultant of Port Elizabeth, South Africa. In May, the Department, through Dr. Clinton Hutton’s efforts, continued its annual prestige event in recognition of reggae icons with a symposium on producer Clement ‘Sir Coxsone’ Dodd. Keynote speaker was Vice Chancellor Professor Rex Nettleford. The seminar ended with a rousing musical tribute, led by another reggae icon, the singer Alton Ellis. And in May, William Lecky presented his graduate seminar on: “Public Transportation in the Kingston Metropolitan Region”. In June, the Department’s Center for Caribbean Thought in collaboration with Africana Studies Department at Brown University, concluded its first active year with a celebratory seminar, entitled “After Man, Towards the Human: The Thought of Sylvia Wynter”. Guest presenters included Professors Lewis Gordon, Paget Henry and Anthony Bogues, Brown University, Clevis Headley, Florida Atlantic University, Neil Roberts, the University of Chicago, Patricia Fox, University of Missouri, Jason Glenn, Harvard University, Jason Ambroise, University of California, Berkeley, and Demetrius Eudell, Wesleyan University. The seminar ended with an appeal that the Center should host a similar seminar every year on a leading Caribbean intellectual. During the year, two members made significant advances in the academic community. Anthony Harriott was promoted to Senior Lecturer and Stephen Vasciannie was promoted to Professor. The Department heartily congratulates them both. The year ended on a note both reflective of the Department’s success and the concurrent problems that arise from it. Three senior members of the Department, Professor Trevor Munroe, and Drs. Anthony Harriott and Jessica Byron were successful in securing University of the West Indies Research Fellowships and will go off on two years research leave. Further, Dr. Brian Meeks has been awarded the Claudia Jones Visiting Professorship at Florida International University for the first semester, 2002-3. Also, Donna Hope, Teaching Assistant, is the recipient of the 2002- 2004 Fulbright Laspau Scholarship. She will pursue a PhD in Cultural Studies at the George Washington University, Washington D.C. The Department congratulates them all, while recognizing that it will be hard pressed to replace their invaluable skills and experience. 318 RESEARCH IN PROGRESS Dr. Jessica Byron – Negotiations Case Study of the ACP-EU Negotiation of the Cotonou Treaty 2000. – Foreign Policy Adjustment Strategies of Small States in the Greater Caribbean: Barbados, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic and Trinidad and Tobago. – Regional Integration in the Greater Caribbean: regionalism as a tool for international economic diplomacy; regionalism and conflict management. – Gender and Human Rights in the Commonwealth Caribbean in K.

Wint, BSc UWI, MBA Northeastern, DBA Harvard – Head of Department WORK OF THE DEPARTMENT During the academic year 2001-2002 the Department had multiplestrategic foci: staff development and recruitment, enhancing research output, increasing student advisory services and revamping its curricula. At the level of staff development, the on-going initiatives of several members of the Department’s administrative staff culminated in a general upgrading of staff qualifications. Our Office Manager, Carlene Wynter, who holds an MSc. degree in Accounting, completed the US certified public accountancy professional examinations. The other senior administrator in the department, Asenath Sharpe, took a one year leave of absence during which she pursued courses leading to the MBA degree. And two other members of our administrative staff, Venese Francis and Debbie Hyde, completed their bachelors degrees. In terms of our academic staff, Derrick Deslandes returned during the year after having completed most of the work for his Ph.D. in marketing. Joan Thomas-Stone completed the US certified public accountancy professional examinations. Shortly after the end of the academic year, Christopher Tufton rejoined us after completing most of the work for a doctorate in international business. And Dr. Lou-Anne Barclay, who holds a doctorate in international business, left the University of Maastricht to join us after the end of the academic year. At the end of the academic year, Mrs. Alexander-Smith left us to pursue a PhD in Accounting at Pennslyvania 332 University. Unfortunately, we also lost the services of Prof. Maschmeyer, who left us after a very productive year as a visiting professor of accounting. The following members of the Department’s academic staff were promoted within the academy during the year: Dr. Bakre, Dr. Crick, Dr. Jayawardena, Dr. McDavid and Dr. Nicholson. The Department hosted several symposia during the year. These included the conference on “Private Participation in Infrastructure Development” held at the beginning of the academic year; and our annual research colloquium, which was coordinated by the department’s behavioural sciences unit, and which focused on “Reflections on Changing Patterns of Workplace Governance.” The department also began a “dialogue on ethics” with a seminar on ethics co-hosted with the Mona School of Business. On this occasion the Department also launched the volume “Essentials of Professional Ethics for Accountants” co-authored by the Department’s senior lecturer in accounting, Margaret Mendes. During the year, Dr. Jayawardena and Dr. Crick also co-edited a special edition of the journal Social and Economic Studies on the subject of tourism in the Caribbean. During the 2001/2002 academic year, the Department served, as it has for many years, as the Department that educates the most students in the University. In the graduation exercises of November 2001, 24% of the undergraduates graduating with degrees from the Mona Campus pursued majors offered by the Department. The Department continues to be the only one on the Mona Campus in which students can complete a degree through evening study. With its significant undergraduate student population, the Department has focused for some time on appropriate mechanisms to provide advisory services to students. During the academic year, the Department increased the range of these services, and the Department’s staff-student liaison committee was particularly active in this process. At the graduate level, the four graduate programmes offered by the Department, including the Masters in Computer-Based MIS offered in conjunction with the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, accounted for over 21% of the students graduating with higher degrees from the Mona Campus. Members of staff of the Department are also an important intellectual resource in the delivery of the graduate programmes offered by the Mona School of Business, which accounted for 25% of the higher degrees granted from the Mona Campus in 2001. Finally, the Department spent much of the academic year engaged in a re-examination of its undergraduate curricula. Focus group discussions, surveys, in-depth analysis by each academic unit of the Department, the soliciting of feedback from senior members of the Faculty of Social Sciences and a departmental curricula retreat provided the inputs into a 333 process of curriculum reform which will be finalized in the next academic year. The scholarly activities members of the Department pursued during the academic year are detailed in the remainder of this report.

Anderson, BSc UWI, MA, PhD Chicago – Head of Department 344 WORK OF THE DEPARTMENT In March of this academic year, the Department received the long-awaited approval for a change of name so as to give formal recognition to the discipline of psychology. Enrolment in the psychology programme has continued to grow, and the Department has accordingly sought ways to accommodate this increased demand. The critical tasks centre around ensuring that the basic resources are in place to deliver a programme that equips students for graduate training, and which is sufficiently diversified to meet the needs of Caribbean societies. The new MSc in Clinical Psychology completed its first year, with a group of 121 students. This programme is offered jointly with the Section of Psychiatry, and it establishes the UWI as the only regional institution to offer this type of type of professional training, which is in great demand. The programme was formally launched in April, with the students reflecting on their first-year experiences. During this year, one of the major achievements of the Department was the design of a new MSc programme in Demography, which replaces the former specialization in Demography within the Sociology Masters programme. Initially this will be delivered on a part-time basis starting in September 2002. At the undergraduate level, further advances were achieved in regard to training in anthropology, as a minor in Anthropology was designed for implementation in the new school year. This was made possible by the recruitment of Dr. Kingsley Stewart, and the on-going contributions of Professor Barry Chevannes. The Department also continued its commitment to Faculty upgrading by spearheading a Summer Training Programme, which included training in statistics and computing, qualitative research, policy analysis and a seminar on Mexican culture and society. These workshops were supported financially by the Office of the Dean, and by MITS, and they were quickly over-subscribed by faculty and graduate students. The 2001/02 academic year had been designated by the Office of Quality Assurance (OBUS) as the period when an External Review should be made of the training programmes in sociology and social work. A team of distinguished reviewers joined the Department in April, and participated in an intensive week of observation, discussion and review of documents and data. They commented positively on the strength of the undergraduate training programmes, and made several useful suggestions that are being quickly adopted by the Department. 345 Students Attended Conferences Overseas The Department continued to provide support for students to participate in overseas academic conferences, with the assistance of the Dean’s Office and the School for Graduate Studies and Research. Several graduate students participated in the Caribbean Studies Association Conference held in Nassau, Bahamas in May 2002. International Linkages in Social Work Over the last decade the social work programme has had a continuing linkage with the University of Connecticut, and in May, faculty from this university joined the Department to deliver a three-day training workshop for the upgrading of Field Supervisors. At present, the Department coordinates a network of some 50 social work agencies that assist in the placement and supervision of students at both the graduate and undergraduate level. The Department has recognized the need to upgrade some of these field supervisors and to have them formally accredited as Field Educators. This was the objective of the workshop, which was co- directed by the Social Work Coordinator, Mrs. Karlene Boyce-Reid, and Dr. Cheryl Jackson-Morris of Connecticut. Another important exchange was the visit of two clinical social workers from California who collaborated with the Department in the workshop “Saving our Troubled Children”. Ginger Holman and Leslie Marks delivered this workshop, which was coordinated by Lita Allen and Claudette Crawford-Brown, and which focused on approaches to intervention and treatment for children in difficulties, who often find themselves in the streets or in institutions. Research Fellowships Two members of the Department, Dr. Ian Boxill and Dr. Matthies, completed the second year of research support under the Campus Research Programme. Dr. Boxill, who conducted work on tourism in Mexico and the Caribbean, took fellowship leave, while Dr. Matthies completed the study of psychological correlates in sports participation, in collaboration with Dr. Leapetswe Malete. Population and Development Computer Lab During the 2001/2002 academic year, the Population and Development Computer Lab in the Faculty of Social Sciences continued to be heavily utilized for teaching and research purposes, as well as support to information technology usage within the Faculty. In addition to course tutorials held in the lab during the semesters, training sessions were held for faculty, staff and students over the summer. 346 Campus Pipeline training was conducted by MITS and lab staff for faculty, staff and students. The lab was also an academic advising and registration site for students in the Faculty. Courses that used the lab to teach software applications including SPSS, Excel, GAUSS and WinRATS during the year were: Course Code Course Name No. of Students MSc Clinical Psychology programme 12 MSc HRD programme 50 EC23P Statistical Computing 25 EC34Q Applied Econometrics 22 EC65B Econometrics II 20 GT31M Research Methods 240 GT66A Quantitative Research Methods 45 PS28C Psychometrics 130 SW65B Evaluation of Social Work Practice SY22D Survey Design 140 SY22G Statistics for the Behavioural Sciences 180 SY22K Statistical Computing for Social Research 60 SY35C Demography II 30 SY62A Advanced Social Research Methods I 30 Additional equipment was obtained from MITS in order to provide enhanced printing and scanning services in addition to the regular services of use of the PCs, printing, and sale of related supplies. The lab has also been involved in the deployment and implementation of hardware and software, and provides support to lecturers using the multimedia equipment in SSLT. The lab also liaises with the MITS Help Desk on IT issues within departments in the faculty, and lab staff continued to participate in training in areas of information technology and lab equipment maintenance. The Human Resource Development Programme The MSc Human Resource Development welcomed 48 persons into its fifth cohort of students in September 2001, and graduated 26 persons from Cohort IV in November. Greater attention was paid this year to strengthening the foundation upon which the students were asked to build their academic careers. To this end, workshops in Introductory Computing, Academic Presentation, and Academic Referencing were added throughout the year, to strengthen the traditional orientation programme. 347 The supportive work of the Unit was noteworthy this year in encouraging the renewal of the HRD Alumni Association through sponsoring a series of important lectures on topical issues. Among these presentations were a forum on the Labour Laws in Jamaica, featuring Attorney-at-Law Clinton Davis, and a talk by Actuary Daisy Coke on Pension Funding. Additionally, the Programme hosted Professor Robert Brinkerhoff of the University of Western Michigan as the inaugural presenter in the Carreras/UWI Distinguished Lecture in November. Other public fora included the HRD Practicum Showcase for the work of Cohort VI, held in October, and a panel on Human Resource Development in the annual Derek Gordon Research Seminar, also in October. The MSc HRD continued to strengthen its links with the private sector as it sought to maintain its relevance to the regional marketplace. Alliances that have resulted in reinforcing our image in the industry include introducing the Wray & Nephew Case Study to our Transformation Workshop, alongside studies of the Planning Institute of Jamaica, Red Stripe Ltd., and the Jamaica Money Market Brokers Ltd. Our alliance with the Carreras Group Ltd. has resulted in corporate sponsorship for an annual lecture over a three-year period and a gift of books and software to the SALISES Documentation Centre. The Centre for Population, Community and Social Change The Centre for Population, Community and Social Chance was established within the Department in 1995, with the objective of providing an organizational framework for the Department’s wide-ranging activities in outreach and intervention, community-based research, and advocacy. The Centre’s mission is to address the factors that retard human development in the Caribbean, and that are expressed in poverty, social exclusion, interpersonal and community violence and societal alienation. Over this year, the Centre focused on the re-establishment of the Children and Violence Clinic under the direction of Dr. Claudette Crawford- Brown, and on the production of a series of video documentaries on Social Capital and Community Development, under the direction of Dr. Patricia Anderson. In May, Dr. Crawford-Brown organized a presentation by children on the problem of Child Abuse entitled “Children Speak Out” with support from the Women’s Bureau of Jamaica. The Partners for Peace Initiative, under the direction of Professor Barry Chevannes and Mr. Horace Levy, continued to work towards strengthening community leadership and conflict-reduction in inner-city communities. The undergraduate social work training programme also benefited from the support of the Centre, as community-based practicum training was 348 organized under the direction of Mrs. Aldene Shilllingford. This served to expand the range and number of practica settings for students.
