Policy from below: Foregrounding teacher experiences of hardship in remote rural secondary schools in Kenya
DownloadFall 2011
Teacher shortage for schools in remote rural areas (also called hardship areas) in Kenya, as in other parts of the world, is a recurrent problem. Such shortage is problematic as it exacerbates the educational disadvantage of such areas, already disadvantaged with regard to access to schools,...

Queering High School: An Ethnodramatic Inqueery on Youth Experiences of Homophobic, Biphobic and Transphobic Harassment and Bullying
DownloadFall 2020
“Queering High School,” was a queer ethnodrama on the lived experience of LGBTQ youth in Alberta high schools that explored their experiences of homophobia, biphobia and transphobia. This ethnodrama, conducted through a queer lens, which I refer to as an ethnodramatic inqueery, was grounded in...

Saproxylic Beetles (Coleoptera) Associated With Aspen Deadwood in Broad-Leaved Boreal Mixedwood Stands
DownloadFall 2012
I assessed deadwood-associated (i.e., ‘saproxylic’) beetles (Coleoptera) along a decay gradient of trembling aspen in mature deciduous stands of the boreal mixedwood forest in NW Alberta. Various collection methods were employed to sample saproxylic beetle species. Assemblages differed between...

Semiochemical-based mass trapping of the apple clearwing moth (Synanthedon myopaeformis (Borkhausen)) (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae)
DownloadFall 2011
Semiochemical-based mass trapping was tested against the apple clearwing moth (Synanthedon myopaeformis (Borkhausen)), an invasive apple pest in British Columbia. Two yellow traps baited with apple clearwing moth sex pheromone, (Z,Z)-3,13 octadecadienyl acetate, and Concord grape juice,...

Spatial and temporal stand dynamics of mature lodgepole pine forests of the Canadian Rocky Mountains
DownloadFall 2015
In forest ecosystems, structure and species composition change over time as a function of ageing and minor disturbances and it is important to understand these changes for predicting forest productivity and habitat suitability for other plant and animal biota. Disturbances play a major role in...

Fall 2018
Benthic marine habitats in Canada have been well-sampled since the annual groundfish survey commenced in 1970. However, trawl surveys cover only non-rocky sediments and many species collected are not identified to lower taxa, leaving large gaps in our understanding of benthic diversity. Sponges...

Fall 2017
Multiple novel and rapidly changing environmental factors (i.e. anthropogenic stressors) are increasingly affecting ecological communities, and their functional roles in ecosystems. Consequently, freshwater biodiversity has declined worldwide; however, the functional impacts of this loss should...

Systematics and diversity of Ichneumonidae, with an emphasis on the taxonomically neglected genus Ophion Fabricius
DownloadFall 2013
Ichneumonidae are the most species-rich family of parasitic Hymenoptera and are important for regulating populations of other arthropods. However, with an estimated 75% of species undescribed, we lack fundamental information about their taxonomy, ecology, and distributions. Using two different...

Spring 2019
Historically, macrobreweries, such as Keith, Molson, Sleeman, and Labatt, have dominated Canada’s brewery industry. However, in the late 1980s microbreweries began to emerge in communities across Canada. In Alberta, the number of microbreweries increased from 16 in 2012 to 80 in 2018 (Alberta...

Under New Governance? Examining the Role of Canadian Sport for Life in Sport Policy and Governance
DownloadFall 2014
This investigation examined the role of Canadian Sport for Life (CS4L) as a newly emerging phenomenon within Canadian sport. In drawing upon the notions of governance theory or the so-called ‘governance narrative,’ the inquiry sought to answer the question: What is the role of CS4L within sport...
