Fall 2015
This study is about a series of operational acts of identification, such as interpretations, categorizations, representations, classifications, through which past materials have acquired their meaning and therefore identity. Furthermore, this meaning-making will be demonstrated always to be...

My thesis is concerned with how law enforcement officers make sense of and use the new visibility created by body worn video (BWV) and in-vehicle video (IVV) in the context of their work. The data comes from a case study of a small policing organization in the Canadian prairies. Data was...

Consequences of Categorization: National Registration, Surveillance and Social Control in Wartime Canada, 1939-1946
DownloadSpring 2013
This dissertation takes up the question of how socially constructed bureaucratic classifications can become central elements in governing individual action, shaping everyday life and mediating the performances of individual identity. Drawing on the work of Foucault, Butler, Bowker and Star, this...

This thesis is concerned with identification of switched linear systems (SLSs), which is an important part in model-based control. There are a large number of physical systems that can be represented or approximated by SLSs. Therefore, the study of SLSs has attracted much attention over the past...

When we think of trans people and photography, we often think of selfies, transition timelines, or stereotypical images like trans women trying to put on makeup. We don’t often think of trans photographers themselves. My research is an autoethnographic reflection from behind the lens rather than...

DownloadSpring 2021
This study examines the roles of sacred spaces in Thessaly as agents in the formation, maintenance, and negotiation of group identities in Thessaly from the Archaic period until the beginning of the Roman Imperial Period in Greece. I demonstrate that the individuals who formed the communities of...

The Olympic Games are now characterized by overt displays of military personnel and hardware, the deployment of new surveillance technologies and policing techniques, and rapidly escalating budgets. Yet, most research on security at these urban events has been confined to the sociology of sport...

Fall 2013
State inference and identification of discrete-time, non-linear, stochastic state-space models (SSMs) are considered here. A novel sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) based Bayesian method for simultaneous on-line state inference and identification of non-linear SSMs is proposed. Extension of the method...

In this thesis, time-varying behaviour, nonlinearity and switching dynamics are generally treated as multi-modal behaviour. Two multi-model modelling techniques, i.e., the linear parameter varying (LPV) technique and the switched modelling technique, are investigated to model the multi-modal...
