Reconstructing foodways can provide archaeologists insight into the relationship between past people and their lived environments. My project explores two innovative and complementary methods of biomolecular analysis – shotgun proteomics and lipid residue analysis – for the identification of foods eaten in the past. By identifying proteins and lipids from food cooked in Late Moche […]

As the conservation sector moves forward to support Canada’s international commitments to protect the environment and honour Indigenous rights, there is increasing interest in pairing Indigenous with mainstream knowledges. Etuaptmumk, or Two-Eyed Seeing in Mi’kmaw as introduced by Elder Albert Marshall, offers a way to do this by leveraging the strengths of both indigenous and […]

The goal of this research is to re-envision fisheries management in Canada, using the Kitasoo Xai’xais Nation as a case study. This objective of this project is to weave together culturally appropriate components of Kitasoo Xai’xais and western fisheries management by using an Indigenous methodological approach that centers Indigenous voices. To do this, we will […]

The main objective of this research project is to contribute to construct a theory of urban land value, which accounts for the multiplicity of factors that affect the way land is valued in the city. To achieve the main objective, the different proposed theories of value will be compared from anthropology with contemporary theories about […]

In daily tasks such as driving or walking down the street, our visual system must select a subset of information to attend to while filtering out unnecessary information. Failure to filter out distractions can have dire consequences (e.g. injuries, collisions), and little is known about the cognitive mechanisms that govern attentional control or how to […]

Lors de mon premier projet de recherche pour le doctorat, j’ai conduit des entrevues portant sur le stress et la douleur de personnes affectées de douleur lombaire chronique. Lors de ces entrevues, nous avons observé que plusieurs participants avec des niveaux similaires de douleur semblaient avoir de grandes variations dans leur description de la souffrance […]

Ultrarunning has gained popularity in recent decades, with greater participation and the development of several ultraraces across the world.

Northcrest is wholly owned by the Public Sector Pension Investment Board (PSP Investments), one of Canada’s largest pension fund managers. The goal is that over the next 30 years, the 370-acre Downsview Airport […]

Newly available technologies for 3D fabrication — notably hobbyist 3D printers — are widening the user base for 3D design software. Autodesk, currently the industry leader in 3D design software, is broadening the scope of their activities, seeking to reach amateur users and to encourage their use of Autodesk software solutions. One of the most […]

This research project aims to discuss the construction of citizenship in urban peripheries. Specifically, it is interested in understanding how different political projects – such as neoliberal and democratic-participatory – influence the citizenship-building. To achieve this, we will conduct a case study of the Central Única das Favelas (CUFA), an organization created in the peripheries […]
