Approaches to land use planning in BC are rapidly shifting in an effort to right previous wrongs with respect to the dispossession of Indigenous land. The BC government committed to developing a new planning framework, through the Modernized Land Use Planning (MLUP) program, that involves deep collaboration with Indigenous Peoples to conduct equitable decision-making process […]

Employment is important for ensuring social inclusion of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, who commonly use the identity term self-advocates in Canada. Self-advocates are much less likely to be employed, and work fewer hours a week and often earn only minimum wage. When gender is taken into account, men are hired more frequently, work […]

Over the past 10 years, industry has drawn on different principles to support the creation of more inclusive and diverse workplaces. These principles include Equity, Diversity and Inclusion; Gender Based Analysis; decolonization; and safe spaces. In this research project, we will read what experts have written about these topics to find out what is most […]

L’objectif de ce projet est de comprendre comment un mouvement social comme le mouvement étudiant tunisien, ne bénéficiant ni de financement public ni d’inclusion formelle dans les organes de décision, parvient à transformer un tant soit peu l’espace social dans lequel il s’implique, c’est-à-dire l’université. Il suffit pour s’en convaincre de se rappeler les multiples […]

Ce projet de recherche s’articule autour des enjeux e?thiques de l’acte de lecture et des questions esthe?tiques pose?es par la mise en sce?ne de l’effacement de la voix narrative dans le roman contemporain. Dans les œuvres de Laurent Mauvignier Des hommes (2009) et Ce que j’appelle oubli (2011), cet effacement rend le texte immersif et […]

To prevent ever-increasing wait list times, mental health care systems require a focus on preventative care. A stronger prevention system, one that supports Canadians so they learn […]

Mes recherches de doctorat portent sur les systèmes de santé au Liban et en Transjordanie durant le moment très particulier de l’entre-deux-guerres. Durant cette période, ces deux états sont créés et placés sous la tutelle de la France et de la Grande-Bretagne, respectivement. Je m’intéresse à quatre acteurs principaux: les missionnaires, les médecins locaux, les […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à examiner l’association entre la motivation autonome (i.e., réaliser un comportement pour le plaisir ou l’importance) et le conflit motivationnel entre l’intention d’être actif physiquement et les […]

Unlike the United Sates or the UK, Canada is a laggard in opening up historical socioeconomic data for use by academics, policymakers, business, journalists, and citizens. While a great deal of data exists either due to being “born digital” or having been digitized from paper records, it is not easily accessible. Partial datasets in a […]

The Mitacs intern will support the community-based project Direct[Message] to develop and undertake research to develop a final technology-based model that will help older adults connect with arts online. The intern will assist in the data collection and analysis of 30 older adult participants’ experiences using and testing an easy-to-use keyboard prototype and an accessible […]
