A theoretical framework for using humor to reduce the effects of chronic stress on cognitive function in older adults
This paper synthesizes the literature on cognitive aging, emotion regulation, and humor, to provide a theoretical framework for the utility of humor in promoting successful cognitive aging. Many older adults experience some degree of cognitive decline, which is associated with reductions in functional status, independence, and overall quality of life. These losses can result in considerable stress that is chronic in nature. The following discussi…
Insights gained from a comparison of South African and Canadian first-generation students
First-generation students are often described as disadvantaged in university adjustment, self-efficacy and grades. Yet this deficit model of understanding first-generation students ignores their cultural capital, which could increase resilience and resourcefulness. Here, 844 students (31% first-generation) in South Africa and Canada completed measures of resilience, resourcefulness, university adjustment, academic self-efficacy and self-reported …

Voluntary Stewardship and the Canadian Species at Risk Act
North American temperate grasslands and the wildlife species they support are increasingly imperilled, largely due to habitat loss and degradation. Most remaining prairie is privately managed and supports livestock production. In Canada, voluntary stewardship is the preferred approach for protecting species at risk on private lands under the federal Species at Risk Act (SARA). However, attitudes of private land managers toward species at risk and…
Les réserves de biosphère du Canada
De l’échelle locale à l’échelle mondiale, les demandes sur les écosystèmes ne cessent de s’accroître alors que la capacité de ces derniers à fournir des biens et services de qualité diminue. Ces transformations, exacerbées par la situation économique mondiale et l’accroissement des inégalités sociales, soulèvent inexorablement le défi d’améliorer les savoir-faire et les savoir-être à l’égard de l’environnement et des systèmes de gouvernance, à to…
Adapting to the Machine
Geographic information systems (GIS) represent a technology developed over the past 30 years to facilitate the storage of spatial data and the solution of spatial problems. Recently, encouraging work in geography has begun to show the power of this technology for studying diverse social issues at a variety of scales. In this paper we demonstrate how social and spatial linkages might be effectively illustrated using GIS in qualitative, action-orie…
Using Information Technologies for Collaborative Learning in Geography
In this paper, we share our experiences in designing, offering and evaluating undergraduate assignments that used information technologies to help undergraduate students from different universities collaborate on resource and environmental management problems in Canada. We focus on conditions of collaborative learning and peer review, especially how our uses of information technology reduced or increased the challenges of creating the conditions …
