october 29, 2021 – orillia and thunder bay, ont. 

seven professors at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 are receiving a total of more than $470,000 from the social sciences and humanities research council of canada to fund their important research projects.

dr. daniel krupp, assistant professor in interdisciplinary studies at lakehead orillia, is receiving an insight grant of more than $94,000 to examine inequality and competition.

“our research finds that local competition amplifies the effect of inequality on conflict, and that this interaction may occur as a consequence of relative deprivation,” dr. krupp said.

“this means that people who are in direct competition with each other will feel greater relative deprivation than those who are competing with a broader swath of the population.”

dr. krupp and his team hypothesize that competition – not similarity or fairness – drives relative deprivation.

this project will test their hypothesis by building a series of mathematical models to formalize the effects of inequality, the scale of competition, and similarity on the evolution of conflict.

“with these models, we can study the ways in which similarity foments conflict when it is associated with kinship and the extent of local competition,” dr. krupp said.

this research will help bring understanding to the psychology of relative deprivation and be of interest to social scientists, civil servants, and members of the public.

dr. lida fan, associate professor in the school of social work at lakehead thunder bay, is receiving an insight development grant of more than $63,000 to study the prospect of upward mobility hypothesis. this hypothesis assumes that low-income people tolerate inequality in wealthy countries like the us and canada because of the hope that they, or their offspring, may make it up the income ladder.

“in this research we will cast doubt on the prospect of upward mobility theory by exploring alternative explanations within the canadian context,” dr. fan said.

“the purpose of this inquiry is to reveal whether individuals see upward mobility as unrealistic in many instances, or they see the barriers of upward mobility and limited choices available but have given up the chance to challenge the situation.”

the results of this study may contribute to the understanding of public tolerance toward inequality and redistribution, and offer new information about a comprehensive set of determinants of public attitudes towards inequality in the contemporary canadian context.

dr. ellen field, assistant professor in the faculty of education at lakehead orillia, is receiving an insight development grant of more than $52,000 to study climate change education practice in ontario and policy in canada.

“in schools across canada, teachers decide how they will integrate, discuss, or avoid climate change education on a daily basis,” dr. field said, adding that there can be ramifications with how teachers decide to discuss it in class.

focusing on comprehensive national data on climate change education, this research will provide further depth and context by monitoring the policies of jurisdictional climate change education, such as within the ministries of education and school boards across canada.

dr. field and her team, dr. paul berger from lakehead and dr. andrea drewes from rider university, will also examine teachers’ personal and professional beliefs on climate change education and how those views inform their decisions about the inclusion/exclusion of climate change content and how they deliver that content.

researchers will also profile case studies of transformative and transgressive climate change education in ontario schools.

this research will provide a more holistic picture of teacher practice that accounts for teachers’ beliefs and factors that teachers identify as influencing their integration, or lack of integration, of climate change education. it will also document how climate change education is already occurring in transformative ways in some pockets.

“this will inform policy responses and professional development directions. the research will contribute to scholarship in the emerging field of climate change education internationally and nationally through academic scholarly contributions,” dr. field said.

this study will support two graduate assistants completing med programs for the full duration of the research. dr. field will support the 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 as full members of the research team and they will participate in all stages of the project.

dr. andrew p. dean, lakehead’s vice-president, research and innovation congratulated each of the researchers and thanked sshrc for funding these import projects.

“these insight grants will do exactly what they are intended to do – provide insight into important questions that range from environmental education to inequality to understanding stress for post-secondary 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , and everything in between.”

the research support fund is a federal funding program for post-secondary institutions in canada to support some of the costs associated with managing research funded by the canadian institutes of health research, natural sciences and engineering research council, and social sciences and humanities research council.

in 2020/21, 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 received nearly $2 million in assistance from the research support fund to support the indirect costs of research, which includes costs for supporting the management of intellectual property, research and administration, ethics and regulatory compliance, research resources, and research facilities.

september 28, 2016 – thunder bay, on

阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 is receiving more than $500,000 in funding from the social sciences and humanities research council (sshrc) to provide insight into some important issues facing canadians today.

researchers will be examining a number of diverse issues, including aboriginal land use in northern communities, the study of domestic violence and community policing, and how history has shaped canada – u.s. relations.

dr. frederico oliveira, assistant professor of anthropology, received $70,325 to study the importance of social structure and family relations on land use practices in the first nations communities of lac seul and slate falls in northwestern ontario.

“the need to develop a consistent investigation of the impact of external influences on first nations communities such as these, along with an understanding of the internal structure within the communities is critical,” said dr. oliveira.

his study will support negotiations with government and industry about natural resource development in ancestral lands, while contributing to meaningful discussions about indigenous sovereignty in canada.

dr. angela hovey, an assistant professor with the school of social work in orillia is receiving a grant of $67,404 for a unique multidisciplinary project – domestic violence: new policing and community prevention – as part of an ongoing collaboration with the ontario provincial police (opp), and local social service agencies.  the team involves lakehead researchers from social work, criminology and women’s studies.

the research team will examine how police currently respond to a high volume of domestic violence calls and how a community-based preventative approach might be used to respond more effectively.

“we’re extremely pleased to receive the grant from sshrc, as the study will provide significant new contributions because of our partnership with the opp and the unprecedented access to police data on domestic violence,” said dr. hovey.

dr. michael stevenson, associate professor of history and interdisciplinary studies, is receiving $54,478 for his project, building a cold war consensus: the eisenhower administration and canada-u.s. relations, 1953-1961.

the study will examine canada-u.s. relations during the presidency of dwight eisenhower and the leadership of canadian prime ministers louis st. laurent and john diefenbaker to explore the pattern of diplomatic stability that has determined the ‘special relationship’ between canada and the united states.

“the characteristic tolerant accommodation that defines canada-u.s. relations was developed during these years,” dr. stevenson commented. “this study will generate important new insights into a neglected area of canadian and american history and will help us understand the place of canada and the united states in the wider world.”

dr. andrew p. dean, vice-president, research and innovation, is extremely pleased by the high quality research in social sciences and humanities at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 .

“due to the hard work of our researchers, we are gaining an outstanding reputation for engaging research that is proving beneficial for people in canada and around the world,” dr. dean said.

dr. matthew boyd and his research team are receiving $381,300 to uncover the most northern evidence of farming in the ancient americas.

dr. boyd, associate professor in anthropology at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 , and his team will spend five years tracing the origins of food production (agriculture) in the boreal forest by studying historic and ancient garden sites in lake of the woods, ont.

researchers will develop a deeper understanding of the function of these gardens and how they fit into first nations societies through archival research, elder interviews and map biographies.

researchers will also reconstruct past food choices of early indigenous populations in this region by analyzing organic residues preserved on artifacts. dr. boyd and his team will also trace subtle changes in precontact land use, including the onset of shifting cultivation, by analyzing lake sediment and conducting archaeological excavations.

“this project will significantly revise our understanding of the lives of subarctic peoples at the eve of european contact,” dr. boyd said.

 in total, 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 researchers are receiving $637,800 from the social sciences and humanities research council of canada (sshrc).

dr. michel beaulieu, associate professor in history, will use $74,000 over two years to help northern ontario communities use lessons from the past in the forestry industry.

dr. beaulieu will conduct a historical analysis of resource-based communities in northern ontario and uruguay, examining each in light of national and international trends in the region’s primary industries. lakehead history professor dr. ronald harpelle is a co-applicant on the project.

“we will look at both sides of the hemispheric coin to better understand how communities developed and adapted to global shifts in the forest industry,” dr. beaulieu said.

“our researchers are some of the best in the world,” said dr. andrew dean, vice-president, research and innovation. “these projects will be of great benefit to ontario and canada,” dr. dean said.
