Title Red October: Left-Indigenous Struggles in Bolivia, 2000-2005

Excerpt This dissertation provides an analytical framework for understanding the left-indigenous cycle of extra-parliamentary insurrection in Bolivia between 2000 and 2005. It draws from Marxist and indigenous-liberationist theory to challenge the central presuppositions of liberal-institutionalist understandings of contemporary indigenous politics in Latin America, as well as the core tenets of mainstream social movement studies.

Title Visual and Verbal Narratives of Older Women Who Identify Themselves as Lifelong Learners

Excerpt Abstract: My inquiry, involving participant-observation and self-study, explores the stories of four older women through verbal and visual narratives. Showing how two specific types of visual narratives—sandpictures and collages—stimulate experiential story-telling and promote understanding about life experiences, I also illustrate how engagement with images extends learning and meaning-making. Effective in carrying life stories and integrating […]

Excerpt The lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens), is a species with considerable ecological, social and economic value. Unfortunately, over-exploitation and habitat alteration have led to the collapse of lake sturgeon fisheries across North America. Based on conservation concerns, the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) identified eight designatable units (DUs) among Canadian populations […]

Excerpt Workplace learning and training is often explicitly or implicitly planned to serve the economic interests of the organization. Furthermore, training planning and processes are generally determined by managers, instead of those who will be engaging in the learning. What happens to learning in the workplace when workers themselves determine its content and methods? As seen […]

Title Characterization of Friable1-like Homologues in Arabidopsis using Bioinformatics and Reverse Genetics

Excerpt The FRIABLE1 (FRB1) gene is identified to be a novel glycosyltransferase involved in cell adhesion, based on reverse genetics and immunocytochemistry studies. A total of 31 FRB1 paralogues were found in Arabidopsis thaliana using a bioinformatics approach. The following expression analysis has revealed 6 FRB1 paralogues to be pollen-specific. One pollen-specific FRB1 paralogue, At1g14970, exhibits […]

Title Encouraging Energy Conservation Through Information Display: A New Approach

Excerpt Much study is required on how human behaviour affects resource consumption. Not only are Human Factors Engineers well equipped to study how to shape human behaviour, but contributors to conservation literature have asked for their involvement in the domain of energy conservation. This study took a novel, systematic, human-factors approach to providing feedback on energy […]
