• W1534634597 abstract "University of California, Santa Barbara Santa Barbara, CA The author remembers the encouragement he received as a young student and writer from Kathleen Martindale when she was teaching English at the University of Calgary. By insisting on the presence of a working-class perspective within the university, Martindale helped the author negotiate the terrain of graduate school. L'auteur se souvient de l'encouragement obtenu en tant que jeune ecrivain et etudiant de Kathleen Martindale lorsqu'elle enseignait l'anglais a l'Universite de Calgary. En insistant pour qu'une perspective ouvriere soit presente a l'universite, Martindale a aide l'auteur a naviguer le terrain difficile des etudes superieures. It is, perhaps, appropriate that my (re)memory of Kathleen Martindale is anchored in the memory of an absence. This absence occurred in April 1990, as I was finishing Dr. Martindale's Women's Studies course and she was finishing her two-year teaching contract at the University of Calgary. I take this opportunity to thank, posthumously, Dr. Martindale and to offer you, I hope, a vision of this intellectual as teacher. A hopeful writer majoring in English Lit and the eldest of four boys (now men) in a single-mother family, I enrolled in Dr. Martindale's Women's Studies course to better understand the scope of both the difficulties faced and accomplishments made by my mother in raising of our family. When I began university I was 22, a single male with no children; by the same age my mother had divorced my father and chosen to raise her four sons by herself. As my education progressed, I returned more and more to the question of just how did she do it? A single mother, an African-Canadian woman who -- with the loving help of her sisters and parents (the remarkable family of Gladys and Arthur Shreve) -- managed to steer four boys through their childhood years (years which included the accidental burning which scarred one son for life and the five-year bout with cancer which scarred another) in the Ontario housing projects of the 1970s. Perennially holding two and three jobs at a time, my mother, after working so much for so long, moved us out West; a migration that exchanged the dense factory-studded and pollution-choked landscape of our childhood for the mountain and prairie horizon lines of Calgary, Alberta. As I sat through the classes in Dr. Martindale's Women's Studies 341, I kept quiet, listened up, and learned to better appreciate the magnitude of my mother's accomplishment: creating our family out of, to say the least, difficult material circumstances. This was not the only feminist-based course which I had taken but it was the first where I found my academic efforts -- to learn, to better understand feminist theory and its relationship to my mother's, hence my own, life -- affirmed and my writing legitimated. Demographically, the course consisted of over 100 women and two, somewhat besieged, men. Neither I nor the other man (to whom I never spoke) were ever attacked in any way, but -- if his experience was in any way similar to my own -- to sit for a semester in a Women's Studies class; to discuss apparently infinite manifestations of patriarchal oppression in both its institutional and more intimate, more familiar guises was and is, many times, a destabilizing and deeply humbling experience. Dr. Martindale's Women's Studies 341 focussed on Canadian women and feminist theory; it is a course that did and continues to have, through the power of memory, a lasting effect on my development as both student and writer. The absence to which I refer was from the final class of the semester which I, due to the usual end of term deadline scramble, decided to skip. A few days later, I stopped by Dr. Martindale's office to pick up my term paper. The place looked a little chaotic: she apologized for the mess, explained that her two-year teaching contract with the University of Calgary had expired and that she was moving to York University. …" @default.
