Title A Critical Exploration of Contingent Workers’ Training and Access to Information and Communication Technology

Excerpt In the late 1990s, many Western governments introduced policy programs to make information and communication technology (ICT) accessible to all. More than a decade later, however, such universal access is far from a reality. Between 2002 and 2005, in response to a request from a group of contingent workers who felt excluded from effective access […]

Title Organized Leadership for Equitable Change: Union-active Teachers Dedicated to Social Justice

Excerpt Historically, teachers’ unions have been some of the major organizational sites of social justice leadership in K-12 education (Kuehn, 2007; M. Murphy, 1990; Urban, 1982), but until the mid 1990s, the term “social justice unionism” (Peterson & Charney, 1999) had little currency in teacher union circles. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to […]

Title Interactions between the Woodwasp Sirex noctilio and Co-habiting Phloem- and Woodboring Beetles, and their Fungal Associates in southern Ontario

Excerpt In its introduced southern hemisphere range, Sirex noctilio causes considerable mortality in non-native pine forests. In its native Eurasian range however, S. noctilio is of little concern perhaps due to interactions with a well-developed community of pine-inhabiting insects and their associated microorganisms. If such interactions occur, they may limit the woodwasp’s impact in its newly […]

Title A “Tricky Business” – Knowledge Production in Children’s Environmental Health

Excerpt Using critical feminist theories and methodologies, my research investigates the power relations and influences at play within the field of children’s environmental health. I begin with the research question of how a parent’s everyday purchase of a toy or other children’s product is “hooked into” extra-local governance (agenda-setting, rule-making and monitoring). Focusing on Bisphenol A […]
