카지노 게임 컬렉션I have always been fascinated by how different institutions and social groups in society interact,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Carson, who took over from Kim Richard Nossal in July. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I have been fortunate to work in multiple sectors in my career, in business, education, government and the not-for-profit sectors, and I plan to draw on all of those experiences in my new role.카지노 게임 컬렉션

Dr. Carson traces his deep intellectual curiosity back to his undergraduate days as a commerce student at Mount Allison 카지노게임사이트 in the 1960s. Influenced by the social dynamism of the Vietnam War era, he pursued a minor in sociology to go along with his major in economics.

Throughout his career, Dr. Carson has grappled with the social values underlying change and restructuring. One example he cites is his experience as chief executive officer of the Ontario government카지노 게임 컬렉션s Privatization Secretariat from 1988-89. A major initiative during that period included a study to determine future options for Highway 407, which the government owned at the time. Dr. Carson recalls his surprise in observing how the various stakeholders struggled to understand each other카지노 게임 컬렉션s language, motivations and decision-making processes. Often what appeared to be deep-seated and unresolvable divisions were bridged by developing shared understandings among the different stakeholders.

Dr. Carson has already started thinking about possible new directions for the school카지노 게임 컬렉션s programming and research. He is meeting his new colleagues to get their ideas for the future of the school.

카지노 게임 컬렉션It카지노 게임 컬렉션s still early days, but three themes around the future of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s School of Policy Studies strike me as important: focusing on what we do well, differentiating ourselves from other schools, and potentially growing our programs and enrollment,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I am excited to build upon the school카지노 게임 컬렉션s intellectually engaging array of programs, research activity, conferences and speakers.카지노 게임 컬렉션

One development is already in the works, with The Monieson Centre for Business Research in Healthcare moving from Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s School of Business into Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s School of Policy Studies. Dr. Carson has served as director of the research centre since 2011. Dr. Carson notes that for the past three years, the health-care policy work of the Monieson Centre was conducted in collaboration with School of Policy Studies and the Faculty of Health Sciences.

카지노 게임 컬렉션Relocating to the School of Policy Studies will have two benefits: it will broaden the scope of the centre카지노 게임 컬렉션s work, and the centre will add a new dimension to the existing health-care courses offered by the School of Policy Studies,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says.
