▼ Within English post-colonial literary studies, Christianity has often been characterized as principally a colonial imposition and, therefore, only modestly theorized as a post-colonial religion that lends itself to complex post-colonial literary renderings. However, the literary implications of post-colonial Christianity will demand increasing attention as Christianity, according to demographic trends, will over the course of the twenty-first century be practiced more widely by peoples who fall under the rubric of post-colonial studies than by peoples of European ancestry. My dissertation considers how four textsThomas Kings 1993 novel, Green Grass Running Water, Derek Walcotts 1967 play, The Dream on Monkey Mountain, Arundhati Roys 1996 novel, The God of Small Things, and Chigozie Obiomas 2015 novel, The Fishermenfeature Christ-like figures whose post-colonial significance resides in the classical Christological paradoxes with which each is identified. Critically, each of these texts pairs Christological paradoxes with paradoxes associated with pre-colonial trickster figures or trickster spirituality. In imagining the Christ as a paradoxical, post-colonial trickster, my core texts address ambiguities and anxieties attending post-colonial pursuits of empowerment. The mixture of Christological and trickster paradoxes in these texts questions post-colonial understandings of power that remain constrained within a colonially-reinforced imaginary inclined to recognize power chiefly as an exercise in subjugation. Because Christology remains central to Christian understandings of personhood, these texts probing of post-colonial empowerment also remains deeply invested in their explorations of what post-colonial personhood can mean in the wake of dehumanizing colonialism. My core texts bear witness to diverse histories of English colonialism, the unevenness of their attendant Christianizing agendas and the particular, contextual post-colonial currency of the Christological and trickster paradoxes invoked. My dissertation posits that the ambiguity generated by these paradoxes, far from inhibiting ethical action, catalyzes inclusiveness by troubling lingering, colonially established or reinforced hierarchies premised on rigid stratification. In so doing, my dissertation also demonstrates how post-colonial literary Christologiesin my case, those with trickster intonationscan merit extended literary and theological study.

▼ In recent years, agent-based modelling (ABM) has been increasingly used to elucidate complex adaptive systems. An ABM is a structural computational system that consists of a collection of abstract objects (agents) embedded in a virtual environment that interact based on a set of prescribed rules. While traditional approaches such as differential equation-based compartmental models span a vast literature, they often impose restrictive assumptions such as homogeneity and determinism that limit their application to real settings. ABM overcomes these limitations through a bottom-up approach in which macro dynamics emerge from micro level phenomena. During the past decade, there has been a surge of interest in the use of ABM in human health and disease dynamics. While this is rapidly growing, its application to other relevant areas such as health economics is still in infancy, and frameworks that could systematically apply ABM are still lacking. In this thesis, we develop a general framework for cost-effectiveness analysis in which ABM is designed to project the system dynamics. We argue that ABM improves the empirical reliability of policy-oriented simulation models and that it presents an ideal tool to address the complexity of disease processes, project the impact of interventions and inform their optimal implementation. We use this framework in an epidemiological context to quantify the economic impact of vaccination strategies for prevention of infectious diseases. We present two case studies for a human-to-human infection transmission (i.e., Haemophilus influenzae) and a vector-borne disease (i.e., Zika). In each case, we detail the construction of ABM and its utilization to conduct Bayesian cost-effectiveness analysis of potential vaccine candidates. In addition to uncovering important characteristics of these diseases in epidemic dynamics, we present their first cost-effectiveness analysis and implications for vaccination strategies in different populations settings.

▼ Little is known about sport participation in youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The current research is the first to systematically examine correlates and outcomes associated with sport involvement in youth with ASD and used two interrelated studies to address several gaps in the literature. Study 1 examined characteristics of sport involvement (frequency, diversity, positive social experiences [PSE]) for youth with intellectual disability (ID) alone compared to youth with ASD+ID and explored the personal and contextual correlates of involvement. Parents (N = 409) of youth involved in Special Olympics (SO) completed an online survey. Although youth with ASD+ID did not differ from youth with ID alone in their frequency or diversity of sport participation, youth with ID alone had higher scores for PSE compared to youth with ASD+ID. Sociocommunicative abilities, coach relationship and resources mediated the relationship between ASD status and PSE. Study 2 built on the first study by examining how sport involvement was related to psychosocial difficulties and strengths in youth with ASD+ID and ID alone. First, characteristics of sport involvement were examined as correlates of psychosocial difficulties over one year in youth with ASD+ID and ID alone in SO (N = 115). Second, a sample of youth with ASD+ID who did not participate in sport (N = 58) was compared to the athletes on psychosocial strengths and difficulties. In youth with ASD+ID, but not youth with ID alone, more frequent and social sport involvement was related to improved hyperactivity and peer problems, while more diverse sport participation was associated with greater emotional and hyperactivity problems. Youth with ID also had lower psychosocial difficulties and greater psychosocial strengths than youth with ASD+ID in sport, and youth with ASD+ID who were not involved with sport had greater difficulties than those who were involved. These findings from the present studies are the first to highlight the discrepancy in sport participation and outcomes for youth with ASD+ID compared to their peers in sport. A better understanding of the factors related to sport is essential for helping teams, families, and communities foster more positive and healthy sport engagement for youth with ASD+ID.

▼ This thesis examines the concept of sport as a vehicle for belonging and social inclusion amongst six Eritrean refugees participating in an ethno-specific soccer team located in the City of Toronto, and the ways in which settlement occurs through the sports environment. This study uses photovoice methodology and draws on Maxwell et al.s (2013) modified application of Baileys (2008) social inclusion framework, as well as Antonsich (2010) approach to belonging. Together, their work serves as the foundation upon which the study analyses participants ideas of inclusivity and belonging within a sport a context. Unlike the mainstream understanding of refugees as individuals who are displaced from their homeland and settle in a host country (Goodwin-Gill & McAdam, 2007), nearly all study participants had been born into a state of displacement, being children of parents who had fled or also born into displacement. This protracted and intergenerational state of displacement continued due to a lack of citizenship, status or rights for the participants in their birthplace. The study shows that the theme of intergenerational displacement was interwoven with the participants understanding of what it meant to belong. Though belonging presented itself in many aspects of their daily lives, such as social and group belonging, participants attributed status and citizenship to feelings of belonging in Canada. In addition, the spatial dimension of social inclusion (Maxwell et al., 2013) was contingent upon the type of sport being played, and facilitated by the ethnospecificity of the team. Soccer, being the sport played by the participants, was assumed to possess unique qualities that fostered sportsmanship and unity that other sports lacked. The shared experience of refugees from the same ethnic background, not only allowed them to exchange information in regard to their claimant process or other logistical settlement support services, but also provided them with a sense of group-belonging and comfort that participants felt were not present in more diverse teams.

▼ Individual differences in attachment orientations predict how deeply involved people become in social relationships, but do they also influence the extent to which they become invested in fictional social worlds? In Studies 13, we found that an interaction between attachment anxiety and avoidance predicted becoming more absorbed into a story at both the trait and state level. To extend these findings and to gain a more nuanced understanding of the relation between attachment and narrative consumption, we next turned our attention to examine engagement with specific characters. In Study 4, we found that attachment anxiety predicted a greater tendency towards parasocial interaction and forming parasocial relationships with favourite TV characters. In contrast, attachment avoidance predicted the tendency to identify with characters, in addition to greater parasocial interaction with them. Study 5 expanded on Study 4, demonstrating that viewers higher in attachment anxiety perceive their favourite characters as being more sociotropic, whereas viewers higher in avoidance perceive their favourite characters as higher in autonomy. Finally, in Study 6, we manipulated emotional intimacy and found that attachment and parasocial relationships were positively related after participants were given an opportunity to experience emotional closeness with another person, whereas the two were unrelated when this opportunity was not provided. Overall, our findings suggest that attachment insecurity predicts a greater tendency to engage with narrative fiction, albeit through different processes. Individuals who are high in both attachment anxiety and avoidance tend to become transported into the story world, but do not report strong engagement with specific characters. Conversely, those high in anxiety form strong friendship-like bonds with fictional characters who prioritize relationships, while individuals high in avoidance engage with fictional agents by identifying with characters who prioritize autonomy.

▼ This dissertation explores the overlooked functions that humour has served in American avant-garde film and video, arguing that humour is involved consistently in many of the key operations and philosophies that have energized these moving image practices. Taking humour as an alternative historical and interpretive lens, this dissertation conducts new readings of three major formations or moments in the discourse of the American avant-gardes. These are: underground film, structural film, and early feminist video art. A branching theme of these readings is failure, seen to carry complex meanings and humorous pleasures in various cases of avant-garde activity. The introductory chapter details the propagandization of failure in the 1960s underground cinema, and argues that a divisive brand of humour highlights the sense of the avant-garde in this cinema. Chapter 1 re-conceptualizes the humourless structural film movement of the 60s and 70s, arguing that, for filmmakers like Michael Snow, the idea of structure is not a dogmatic working principle but something of a ruse, one whose limits are meant to be teased, pushed, and exceeded. Moving to early feminist video art, Chapter 2 emphasizes the importance of humour in the project of articulating feminist political horizons. In videotapes by Susan Mogul and Martha Rosler, performative nonchalance and lack of preciousness about low-grade equipment can be seen as forms of humorous delivery, which stay utopically open to future re-articulations. Circling back to underground film, Chapter 3 locates humour in the failure to distinguish sharply between the avant-garde and popular culture. Through readings of humour in queer underground film, and then in more recent pop appropriation videos, this chapter illustrates the hilarity, critique, and utopian feeling that can result when the effects of pop and of the avant-garde are brought excessively close. This dissertation assembles conceptual scaffolding for understanding humorous failure as a variable avant-garde theme, drawing upon such scholars as Matei Calinescu, Jack Halberstam, and Jose Esteban Munoz. With failure in mind, this dissertation further reflects on the instability of humour itself as an object of study, and as a device, attitude, or value that might be put to work for us.

▼ Glycoprotein hormones govern key aspects of physiology like reproduction, growth and development as well as metabolism in vertebrates. In 2002, a novel glycoprotein hormone formed by the heterodimeric interactions of GPA2 and GPB5 (GPA2/GPB5) subunits was discovered. Unlike other glycoprotein hormones, GPA2/GPB5 homologs are present in most vertebrate and invertebrate genomes, however its exact function remains elusive. The present set of studies aimed to elucidate the function of GPA2/GPB5 and its receptor LGR1 in the disease vector mosquito, Aedes aegypti. First, the tissue-specific expression and cellular localization of LGR1 was characterized to identify potential targets for GPA2/GPB5 in adult mosquitoes. LGR1 transcript and immunoreactivity was detected in gut epithelia, which supported a pre-established ionoregulatory / osmoregulatory role in the alimentary canal of adult mosquitoes. Interestingly, strong and regionalized immunoreactivity was detected in the female ovaries and male testes suggesting GPA2/GPB5 signalling may function to regulate reproduction in A. aegypti. In the male testes, the subcellular expression of LGR1 during spermatogenesis was characterized further, and results found LGR1 immunoreactivity specifically localized to the plasma membrane of the centriole adjunct, which contains proteins important for flagellar formation in developing spermatids. Using RNA interference, downregulation of LGR1 led to sperm defects, such as shortened flagella. Moreover, newly emerged males were characterized with significantly less spermatozoa and rendered less fertile. The GPA2 and GPB5 subunits were found to be co-expressed in the abdominal ganglia of the central nervous system in both male and female adult mosquitoes. Mammalian cell lines were then employed to produce recombinant A. aegypti GPA2 and GPB5 proteins and study subunit interactions, ligand-receptor and interactions and determine downstream signalling events upon LGR1 activation. Results demonstrated A. aegypti GPA2/GPB5 are capable of subunit homodimerization in vitro. However, only tethered A. aegypti GPA2/GPB5, rather than individual subunits alone, were required to activate LGR1, which interestingly, appears to involve coupling to an inhibitory G protein. Together, these studies have demonstrated that signalling involving the glycoprotein hormone system is imperative for male reproductive-related processes in adult mosquitoes, a largely understudied research area, and presents novel insight to the function of its homologs in other animals.

▼ This study aims to examine the international education (IE) policy-making context in Ontario for the period from 2005 to mid-2017 while also taking into account the announcement of the new policy document Ontarios International Postsecondary Education Strategy 2018. It sets out to answer three research questions: (a) How is international education constructed as a policy discourse in the postsecondary sector in Ontario? (b) Who are the policy actors who are contributing to the postsecondary international education policy-making process in Ontario? and (c) What role do they play in influencing IE policy and empowering and silencing different discourses? To answer these research questions, this study adopts Maarten Hajers Discourse Coalition Framework (DCF) and steps of doing argumentative discursive analysis (2006). Data sources included IE stories in the three highest-circulation newspapers in Ontario (415 articles); 23 interviews with policy actors, and 195 policy documents. Whereas policy studies employing DCF have typically identified oppositional storylines, the findings of this study reveal one dominant storyline: Internationalize. All discourses agree, to varying degrees, that IE is desirable and beneficial to the postsecondary education sector and Ontario. However, within the overarching Internationalize storyline, three storylines emerge: (a) Internationalize, it is good for the economy (Economy); (b) Internationalize, yet manage its risks (Risks); (c) Internationalize, it is Canadas gateway to the world (Gateway). The Economy storyline achieves hegemony as it succeeds in imposing its logic and ways of deliberation on the IE policy landscape (structuration) and is translated into institutional practices and policies (institutionalization). The study also reveals a shifting terrain in the IE policy landscape with the emergence of a new Regulate IE storyline, which has succeeded in introducing regulation and accountability discourses and reframing the hegemonic Economy storyline. By moving away from the state and focusing on storylines, this study reveals the fragmentation of the IE policy landscape and exposes actors from diverse scales, levels, disciplines, and contexts; all of whom contribute to the construction of IE and its related policies. One of the main findings of this study is the role of the media in building the IE narrative and mobilizing storylines. This research contributes to our understanding of the economic aspect of internationalization, which goes beyond discourses of neo-liberalism, and argues against the traditional binary categorizations of socio-cultural and educational versus economic internationalization. On a theoretical level, the study outlines the strengths of DCF and unsettles its conceptualization of collective and individual discursive agencies.

▼ Over the past decades, alternative sources of energy have been the subject of extensive research due to the scarcity of fossil fuels and international concerns on greenhouse gas emission. Considerable efforts have been focused on developing thermoelectric (TE) materials and their applications in waste heat recovery, power generation, and refrigeration. Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) can harvest energy by converting waste heat into electricity. The advantages of TE power generators include solid-state operation, maintenance-free with long life-span, and negligible emission of greenhouse gases. Conventional semiconducting TE materials, as todays TE materials of choice, have many disadvantages such as high cost, scarcity, and toxicity. In recent years, organic TE materials have attracted more attention because of their various advantages, such as light weight, low cost, flexibility, and simple synthesis. However, compared with their semiconducting counterparts, polymers have lower TE efficiencies, which have limited their applications. A fundamental challenge to improve the efficiency of polymeric TE materials is to simultaneously enhance their Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity while suppressing their thermal conductivity. In this context, the materials would have the electrical properties of a crystalline material and the thermal properties of an amorphous or glass-like material. The proposed research aims to develop micro-and-nano structuring strategies, as novel processing techniques, to design and fabricate organic materials with promising TE efficiencies for future TEGs. Achieving this objective requires decoupling the highly interconnected TE parameters. The main idea of this research is to decrease the thermal conductivity of the material system by introducing a cellular structure in the bulk of material. Furthermore, incorporating carbon nanoparticles as conducting fillers will help to improve the electrical conductivity of polymeric materials. As a result, the thermoelectric performance of the material system would be significantly enhanced. This study showed that microcellular foaming is highly effective in enhancing the TE efficiency of polymer nanocomposites. The result of this research suggests micro/nano-cellular foaming as a novel fabrication method to promote the TE efficiency of polymeric materials. The proposed method provides an opportunity to develop polymer-based materials, as an environmentally friendly alternative for their semiconducting counterparts, for green energy harvesting.

▼ An Indigenous methodological framework of decolonization and Indigenization must support an Inuit-led revitalization of the declining arts and crafts sector in Nunavut. Arts and crafts express oral tradition, personal narratives, and Inuit worldviews and transfer those values intergenerationally. As Inuit Elder Shirley Tagalik argues, the transmission of Inuit traditional knowledge (Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit) through artistic expression plays a vital role in communities by promoting a culturally healthy society that is key to Inuit survival. By fusing Indigenous cultural heritage and new media technologies to centralize artwork, storytelling, and worldviews, the Inuit futurisms movement is contesting the digital divide that sustains a persistent colonial narrative of Arctic history. Decolonizing and Indigenizing information and communication technologies (ICT) strengthens Inuit engagement in rewriting the past, controlling the dissemination of stories and traditional knowledge, and creating a unified vision of their future. Inuit leaders and representative organizations have been calling for federally supported Inuit-developed frameworks for advanced ICT innovation to meet the needs of communities. At issue is the question, How can community-first ICT policies and infrastructure disrupt the status quo of the declining colonial Inuit art market in Nunavut? First-mile infrastructure development and equitable high-speed broadband, which do not currently exist in the territory, are required to promote and support Inuit culture. By placing ownership and control of broadband infrastructure within Inuit communities and thus the arts economy decolonization, self-determination, cultural sovereignty, and Inuit-led economic advancement will occur in Nunavut. This dissertation explores how equitable, affordable, and accessible ICT innovation reinforced by community-first strategic development policies supports expansion in the Inuit art market. Only by positioning Nunavut at the forefront of ICT access will Indigenous Nunavummiut artists be able to leverage digital tools to create works, organize for collective action, and engage in global markets. Creative solutions designed by and for Inuit communities living in remote and isolated locations are ultimately essential for achieving growth in the Inuit arts and crafts sector in Nunavut.
