“You need to be double cultured to function here”: toward an anthropology of Inuit nursing in Greenland and Nunavut
DownloadFall 2011
Working towards an anthropology of nursing, I explore what it means to become and be an Inuit nurse, using as a lens the experiences and voices of Greenlandic and Canadian Inuit nurses and nursing students who are educated and practice in settings developed and governed by Southerners (Danes and...

A Canadian farm-to-fork quantitative microbial risk assessment of ciprofloxacin-resistant Campylobacter spp.
DownloadSpring 2022
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the largest public health threats of the 21st century with 4.95 million global deaths associated with bacterial AMR in 2019. Continued spread of bacterial AMR threatens the possibility of a post-antimicrobial era, where humans and animals may succumb from...

Spring 2018
Lake and sea ice and their snow covers are major components of Earthâs cryosphere and act to strongly modify climatic and biological systems. Both ice types serve as an important habitat for micro-fauna and support macro-fauna and strongly modify the exchange of energy, gases, and momentum...

An Analysis of the Environmental Risk Factors of Childhood Asthma and Asthma-like Symptoms: Results from the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth
DownloadSpring 2016
It is known that a multitude of environmental factors are implicated in the incidence of asthma and asthma symptoms among children; however, previous research has provided inconsistent and/or insufficient evidence as to whether residing in a farming environment during childhood can lead to a...

Anthropogenic influence on the autumn migration of polar bears (Ursus maritimus) in Hudson Bay
DownloadSpring 2022
Migratory species may shift established spatiotemporal patterns in response to anthropogenic impacts, so understanding the energetic consequences of behavioural plasticity may provide insight into how effectively migratory species respond to climate change. I used satellite telemetry to examine...

Antimicrobial Resistant Campylobacter species in the Food Chain: Understanding the Human Risk of Infection
DownloadFall 2022
Background: Campylobacter spp., commonly detected in poultry, are the third most common cause of foodborne illness in Canada. Campylobacter while self-limiting and typically only requiring supportive care treatment, can be resistant to antimicrobials important to human health. To better...

Arctic Oil, Arctic Change: A Threefold Framework for Evaluating Pressures for Rural Oil and Gas Extraction in Alaska and the Northwest Territories
DownloadFall 2021
Oil has driven migration, community growth, and governance of the last century in the North. Today, as Arctic global warming surpasses 1°C with “profound consequences” (IPCC, 2019) for the North, the relationship between oil and climate change cannot be ignored. In light of this tension, this...

Fall 2016
As resource exploitation and development expands in northern Canada, threats to the ecological integrity of freshwater systems increase. In Canada, developments that could negatively affect aquatic ecosystems require offsetting or compensation measures. As a result of diamond mine development, a...

Spring 2016
The Arctic Ocean sea ice is shifting from a system dominated by thick perennial ice (multiyear ice –MYI) to one dominated by thinner, seasonal ice (first year ice – FYI). The effects of this shift on the bacterial constituents of the Arctic sea ice have been grossly under studied, although it is...

Biogeochemical impacts of glacial meltwaters across a High Arctic watershed (Lake Hazen, Nunavut, Canada)
DownloadFall 2018
Climate change across northern latitudes is fundamentally altering the hydrological cycle there, resulting in increased glacial melt, permafrost thaw and precipitation. Whereas enhanced glacial melt has potentially important implications for water quality and productivity in downstream freshwater...
