Medieval nuns were supported by a wide range of people, including lay sisters and brothers who performed much of the physical and manual work of the convent. Yet scholarship has long ignored these members of the monastic community. My research attempts to address this gap by focusing on lay sisters and brothers in fourteenth- and […]

The research project will look at how EndPoverty Edmonton has engaged with the diverse Indigenous population that lives in Edmonton on their interests and perspectives on eliminating poverty. Indigenous peoples and communities continue to experience social and economic inequality as compared to other Canadians. Their social and economic inequality can be linked to the impacts […]

Any physical processes that we aim to study in space have probably been influenced at some point by the process of star formation. Whether it be the interstellar gas and dust, the formation of clusters of stars, or galaxy evolution, star formation plays a role as a strong driving force for the physics behind these […]

It is well-known that the growth of young firms accounts for a disproportionate share of employment growth and the associated economic welfare. In Canada and Japan, small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) represent around 99.7 percent of each country’s total firms and over 70 percent of each country’s total employment. However, SMEs are known to suffer […]

Que signifie être certain lorsque les conditions d’une parfaite démonstration ne sont pas réunies? Commet-on un abus de langage lorsque nous prétendons obtenir des certitudes en dehors du domaine des mathématiques? Cette question, d’intérêt crucial pour les sciences humaines, a reçu un traitement important au 17e siècle, où émerge une tendance à remettre en question […]

Malgré la pénurie de main-d’oeuvre, l’intégration des personnes en situation de handicap dans les entreprises reste faible. Plus précisément, 39% des personnes avec incapacité occupent un emploi comparé à 72% des personnes sans incapacité (OPHQ, 2014). Ne pas avoir d’emploi est l’un des principaux facteurs de risques d’exclusion sociale (OPHQ, 2017). Cette recherche examine les […]

My proposed research project is devoted to Particle-in-cell (PIC) computer simulations to study the plasma waves instabilities in the exhaust plume of the Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket (VASIMR) device. VASIMR is a type of electric propulsion plasma device, using the plasma as propellant, potentially for a long-term space mission with a much higher specific […]

Ageing is a global phenomenon, which presents challenges and opportunities for many nations, including Canada, China, and Germany, the foci of the study. In addition to the impact on pensions, health care, the labour market, consumer trends, and social services, the greying population also has far-reaching implications for businesses. As the population ages, changes in […]

Ce projet de recherche traite du rôle de la race dans la structuration des espaces verts et des loisirs à Montréal et Détroit des années 1960 aux années 1990. Deux approches seront centrales à cette étude: l’approche des politiques municipales (dynamiques d’implantations des espaces verts, règlements, investissements des espaces verts, équipements, discours municipal de démocratisation […]

Ma thèse s’intéresse aux processus au travers desquels les combattants au sein des guerres civiles se radicalisent, au point où ils en viennent à cibler la population civile. Ma recherche repose donc sur deux littératures distinctes, à savoir celle relative à la violence envers les civils dans les conflits intra-étatiques et celle associée aux processus […]

This research proposal aims to verify the effect of hearing loss on the social participation of Brazilian and Canadian elderly, and, in addition, this study intends to understand which personal and environmental factors influence the social participation of these participants. Will be recruited in a clinical-school of Speech Therapy accredited to SUS, located in the […]

My research seeks to explore the history of dubbing or post-synchronization in Turkey, which from the 1940s on became one of the most recognizable features of the Turkish industry, characterizing both national and imported production. Post-synchronization of sound had been the standard practice in Turkish popular cinema until 1996; it was only then that shooting […]
