A Critical Policy Analysis of Environmental and Sustainability Education in Canada
(2019-08-08)Despite calls to re-orient school systems toward sustainability, there has been uneven progress toward mainstreaming of Environmental and Sustainability Education (ESE) into Kindergarten-Grade 12 (K-12) schooling. This ... -
A Critical Race Theory Analysis of Métis Teachers' Counter-Stories
(2018-02-23)In Canada, Métis are a distinct Indigenous population and nation that have been racialized as mixed-race historically. Using critical race theory (CRT) and mixed-race studies (MRS), this study examined the counter-stories ... -
A DANGEROUS WORLD: STEPHEN HARPER’S POST-MAIDAN UKRAINE POLICY
(2018-02-20)The thesis puts forward a neoclassical realist theory of the Harper government’s response to the Ukrainian crisis, which draws upon a number of theories, including Power Transition theory, to examine the determinative role ... -
A Derivation of the Wishart and Singular Wishart Distributions
(2016-08-23)Multivariate statistical analysis is the area of statistics that is concerned with observations made on many variables. Determining how variables are related is a main objective in multivariate analysis. The covariance ... -
