The Politics of Reproductive Health and Women's Rights: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Family Planning 2020
(2018-09-18)Global population policy has been a recurring topic on foreign policy and international development agendas since the end of World War II. Since its inception, initiatives have taken many forms, but all have included a ... -
Pathologizing Abuse: Examining Public Health Approaches to Addressing Intimate Partner Violence in Canada
(2018-10-24)This paper aims to examine the medicalization of intimate partner violence (IPV) using critical political economy, feminist political economy and Foucault’s theory of power. A critical discourse analysis of publications ... -
Persistent Childhood Poverty in Canada: A Political Economy Analysis of its Causes
(2018-11-13)Child poverty is a global phenomenon, although with different rates among nations. It is high in the developing nations, but even in some developed countries, high child poverty rates have been recorded. The primary ... -
Disrupting the Status Quo: Basic Income for People with Disabilities
(2018-10-15)This paper explores how a basic income (BI) program for people with disabilities could affirm the ideals outlined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Ontario Human Rights Code and the UN Convention on the ... -
The Narrative Use of Disability in Tales of Love and Darkness and Sweet Mud
(2018-10-15)Mitchell and Snyder suggest a pattern of representation in which the disability is used to inaugurate narrative and provide motivation and backstory for character, obscuring the reality of disability, and usurping the ... -
Representing Autism in Television: Perpetuating the Stereotypes
(2018-10-16)Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is increasing in prevalence in North America. The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (2018) notes that in 2000 the rate of diagnosis was 1 in ... -
The Social Geographies of Access and Inclusivity for Adults with Learning Disabilities in Indigenous Cultural Contexts
(2018-11-26)Rather than remaining confined to the educational experiences of childhood, learning disabilities (LDs) which impact one’s ability to perceive, interpret, and use both verbal and/or non-verbal information, can be carried ... -
The Profound Impact of Cochlear Implants on a Young Deaf Adult's Life & Deaf Identity
(2018-12-18)This paper explores my autoethnography about the life experiences of young deaf adults with cochlear implants, and most importantly, researching how we describe and identify ourselves. The generation born in the years ... -
rTMS reduces cortical imbalance associated with visual hallucinations after occipital stroke
(2016-10)Objective: To investigate the efficacy of multiday repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to the occipital cortex in a patient with continuous visual phosphene hallucinations for more than 2 years following ... -
Own-age and own-sex biases in recognition of aged faces
(2013-10)It is surprising how easily we are able to recognize people whom we have not seen in many years, somehow compensating for the aging-related facial changes that occurred. We measured the limits of the ability to recognize ... -

Altered anterior visual system development following early monocular enucleation
(NeuroImage: Clinical, 2014)Purpose Retinoblastoma is a rare eye cancer that generally occurs before 5 years of age and often results in enucleation (surgical removal) of the cancerous eye. In the present study, we sought to determine the consequences ... -
Altered brain morphology following long-term survival from early monocular enucleation.
(NeuroImage: Clinical, 2015)Purpose Retinoblastoma is typically diagnosed before 5 years of age and is often treated by enucleation (surgical removal) of the cancerous eye. Here, we sought to characterize morphological changes of the cortex following ... -
Evidence of multisensory plasticity: Asymmetrical medial geniculate body in people with one eye
(NeuroImage: Clinical, 2015-10)The medial geniculate body (MGB) plays a central role in auditory processing with both efferent and afferent tracts to primary auditory cortex. People who have lost one eye early in life have enhanced sound localization, ... -
Consecutive TMS-fMRI reveals an inverse relationship in BOLD signal.
(Journal of Neuroscience, 2013-12)The human visual system is capable of recognizing an infinite number of scenes containing an abundance of rich visual information. There are several cortical regions associated with the representation of a scene, including ... -
TMS to lateral occipital cortex disrupts object processing but facilitates scene processing.
(Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2011-11)The study of brain-damaged patients and advancements in neuroimaging have lead to the discovery of discrete brain regions that process visual image categories, such as objects and scenes. However, how these visual image ... -
Behavioural and neuroimaging evidence for a contribution of color and texture information to scene classification in a patient with visual form agnosia.
(Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2004-03)A common notion is that object perception is a necessary precursor to scene perception. Behavioral evidence suggests, however, that scene perception can operate independently of object perception. Further, neuroimaging has ... -
Altered white matter connectivity associated with visual hallucinations following occipital stroke
(Brain and Behavior, 2018-05)Introduction Visual hallucinations that arise following vision loss stem from aberrant functional activity in visual cortices and an imbalance of activity across associated cortical and subcortical networks subsequent ... -
TMS to the TOS impairs scene but not object categorization
(Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2013-06)Traditionally, it has been theorized that the human visual system identifies and classifies scenes in an object-centered approach, such that scene recognition can only occur once key objects within a scene are identified. ...
