This year I engaged in a research project exploring how the signs, symbols, and language utilized 
by Canadian Trucker Convoy protestors functioned as a kind of memory project. I argue that 
protestors drew on various meanings tied to race and class that ultimately functioned to reassert 
white supremacy and neoliberal rationality. Neoliberal rationality here draws from the work of 
Wendy Brown, who argues that neoliberalism has come to define how one can understand the 
world around them. Protestors, along with evoking a neoliberal understanding of freedom, drew 
on broader cultural understandings of labour rights and worker solidarity that constructed 
freedom only in terms of worker’s ‘right’ to work despite potentially unsafe conditions. Along 
with this, protestors engaged in an appropriation of Indigenous culture and activism in ways that 
asserted themselves as both true inhabitants of the land and as true victims of government 
oppression.

Leveraging Sport Events to Create Sustainable Impacts 
 
Sport event bids are repeatedly full of claims about the positive impacts (e.g., social, economic) 
of hosting an event, but too often these impacts are not achieved. Historically, this has been a 
result of organizers being primarily focused on hosting the event itself and the false assumption 
that simply hosting an event is enough to automatically generate positive impacts. Leveraging, 
however, has been advocated for by researchers as an effective alternative approach. 
Leveraging focuses on how organizers can strategically plan for impacts from the pre-event 
stage in collaboration with community partners. Yet, a gap exists in the literature on 
understanding what an effective leveraging process looks like. The purpose of my research is to 
address this gap by exploring how organizers acquire, create, manage, and transfer knowledge 
with stakeholders to create sustainable impacts. From the results, a practical toolkit will be 
created to support organizers with leveraging future sport events.

Biopolitics, Necropolitics and Migration in the Novelistic Production of Donato 
Ndongo-Bidyogo 
 
My thesis project focuses on the literature of Equatorial Guinea, specifically, I 
work with three novels of the most prolific Guinean writer Donato Ndongo-
Bidyogo. I am particularly interested in the literature of migration and how the 
State takes part in the mobilization of people. In other words, I look at how the 
State through its politics, either oriented towards biopolitics or necropolitics, 
propels the migration of its citizens and how these politics are represented in the 
narrative of Ndongo-Bidyogo. My main argument is that the literature of Ndongo-
Bidyogo can be taken into consideration when looking at the migration trends from 
Africa to Europe, particularly, from Equatorial Guinea to Spain during the 
colonization and post-colonization periods.

Title: “A split in the road: Developing blood vessel models that mimic real life” 
 
Blood vessels are like roads which facilitate transport of oxygen and nutrients to and waste 
away from tissue. Disruption of this process can cause death of surrounding tissue including 
vessels which can be regenerated in a process called angiogenesis via either sprouting or 
splitting. Sprouting angiogenesis has been well-characterized using both in vivo and in vitro 
methods. However, little is known about biochemical and molecular processes underlying 
splitting angiogenesis, largely due to the lack of in vitro models. To address this, I am 
developing a blood-vessel-on-a-chip that recapitulates the 3D geometry and biomechanics of a 
blood vessel using microfluidics to study splitting angiogenesis in vitro for the first time. This 
model provides an important platform for studying and modulating this critical but poorly 
understood form of angiogenesis, one that is emerging as an increasingly clinically relevant 
mode of blood vessel formation associated with development, tumors, and COVID-19 lungs.
