There is a gap in the research pertaining to Indigenous populations and the inclusion of their art and culture in public space. I became aware of this while serving as a volunteer on the Public Art Advisory Committee for the City of Saskatoon. The literature and policy development falls short in cities across Canada. The […]

Le cynisme est un courant philosophique qui a vu le jour au IVe s. av. J.-C. et qui demeure méconnu en raison de la rareté des sources historiques. Mon projet de recherche aborde la question des liens entre le cynisme et le stoïcisme, une école philosophique avec laquelle le cynisme entretiendrait une relation de “communauté”. […]

I specifically wish to study […]

How can we describe and value harvesting, processing and sharing (costs as well as benefits) country foods in economic, nutritional, environmental and socio-cultural terms? How can we compare the value of country food with food that comes from other provisioning systems (e.g. imported/market-based foods and local food production)? These are important questions for both communities […]

Three in five persons with dementia will wander. This statistic however was derived from the USA, and it is unknown as to how this number was generated and what it specifically entails.

La cohabitation des bâtiments du quartier des spectacles et des technologies d’architecture mouvante de Réalisaitons.net produirait une expérience sans équivoque pour les usagers du Montréalais. La richesse créative et la multitude des objectifs (sociaux, artéritiques, etc.) visés engendrent toutefois des préoccupations au sein de la planification et la réalisation du projet. Notre mandat est donc […]

La recherche poursuivra, en la bonifiant, l’orientation prise dans les travaux […]

Although the social, economic, and cultural importance of the arts is generally acknowledged, few studies have collected data on how community members (whether engaged in the arts or not) perceive the value of the arts within their community. This study examines public perceptions of the arts within Saskatchewan’s urban and rural communities. Using a mixed-methods […]
