While this sovereignty conditioned Oblate governance choices, the Government of Ontario became increasingly keen on reforming the University of Ottawa into a non-denominational corporation. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGovernment pressure was coupled with shifting cultural expectations of the university's social role, while an increasingly lay professorate helped put pressure on the Oblates from within. These twin pressures for removing religious control irked the Oblates, who put up stiff resistance, betraying their reticence to the liberalization of higher education. While the government valued social policy, the Oblates focused on educating individuals. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlthough the Oblates ultimately lost, history is as relevant as ever, and this book comes at a time when social planning is becoming increasingly prevalent within universities. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublished in English.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Strömbergsson-Denora\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0776629107\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780776629100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Ottawa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.66d","brand":"Adam Strömbergsson-Denora","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48441343017215,"sku":"9780776629100","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_df7bd054-53dc-4e04-881f-82e150953baa.jpg?v=1777190280","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/warring-sovereignties-adam-strzimbergsson-denora-9780776629100","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
