A History of Aboriginal Programming at Carleton University
No full textCommissioned by: The School of Indigenous and Canadian Studies, Carleton University. Prepared by: Jo-Anne M. Lawless, PhD Student, School of Indigenous and Canadian Studies, Under the supervision of: Dr. Kahente Horn-Miller, Associate ProfessorThis history begins with an examination of Carleton's first acknowledgements of Indigenous peoples in their media offerings and course calendars, and follows the trajectory of academic and administrative initiatives in regard to Aboriginal programming, from the early 1940s to the present. While the report traces the ongoing efforts toward Indigenous inclusion at Carleton University, it is also a reflection of the contemporaneous social changes of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries
Blue Junction: Improving Spatial Experience Through Ecological Water Management at Carleton University
No full textAlthough the earth's water supply is finite and is indispensable to the survival of all living things, it is routinely understood to be a single-use, disposable element framing a relationship which causes increasing environmental degradation. As with all things in our culture that intersect with the waste we generate, our relationship to water has resulted in strategies that largely conceal water from our daily experience. At Carleton University this camouflaging is in full effect: extensive impermeable surfaces and buried stormwater drains allow unimpeded surface runoff into the Rideau River while sewers send untreated sewage directly into Ottawa's strained sewage network. In response, this thesis explores how implementing ecological water management systems for both stormwater and wastewater at Carleton University, seen as the responsible path forward, can be entwined with architectural experience to reverse what is the secret life of wastewater and improve human relationships and attitudes towards water management
Urban Systems: How Can a Parametric Building Information Model Serve to Democratize, Optimize and Challenge the Master Planning Process at Carleton University?
No full textBuilding Information Model (BIM) of the Carleton University campus embedded with information on infrastructure, people and energy consumption. A parametric BIM of Carleton University campus can exist as a detailed resource of information and statistics that parallel the operation and development of its physical counterpart.The project explores the potential for parametric virtual representations of datasets to narrow the distance between the digital and the material world. It questions the implications of built assets on campus, results of which can be used as input parameters to create a feedback loop that further improves the datasets. Furthermore, the parametric masterplan can be used to compare simulated results with proposed real-world scenarios to help predict positive or negative impacts on Carleton campus. The goal of this parametric visualization is to democratize a variety of real-time datasets to the community at large so that they may establish quality proposals for the campus
Towards a Socially Connected Campus: The Built Environment’s Impact on Loneliness at Carleton University
No full textThis thesis investigates the impact of the built environment on loneliness and social connection in relation to university campuses – specifically Carleton University. Research links chronic loneliness to negative effects on mental and physical health and confirms that young adults and students are especially vulnerable to experiencing loneliness. While it is not uncommon for campuses to have official plans to address social issues, particular attention toward loneliness and social connection is often overlooked. In response, this thesis proposes five calls to action supported by key recommendations emphasizing the importance of social connection along with three design interventions to promote social connection on campus. The primary methodologies used in this thesis are case studies, fieldwork, and research through design. By adopting this research, campuses may begin to augment their current policies with specific emphasis placed on the built environment to facilitate connection and belonging

Value added proposition: the evolution of e-book cataloguers at Carleton University Library
No full textCarleton University Library has an innovative staff development program to expand the skill set of e-book cataloguers to provide a comprehensive service to manage and expand access e-books. In 2009 Carleton University Library hired its first e-book cataloguer in response to the rapid growth of digital resources in the Library collection; a second position was added in 2011. These positions have successfully evolved to incorporate a wide variety of duties related to e-books in response to rapidly changing digital environment.

Towards educational equity : an orientation package designed by students at the Carleton University School of Social Work by Heather Baker and Alexandra Salamis.
No full textThis project is an exploration of how the Carleton University School of Social Work can translate its new Educational Equity Mission Statement into practice, by focusing on the support needs of new students. A Participatory Action Research framework was chosen to identify methods which would change the process and content of orientation to the School. This involved the participation of second year students in a process which enabled the group to implement action plans. The implemented action plans included: providing information on resources and knowledge about structural inequalities; linking graduate students with undergraduate students to encourage them to explore their own self-determination; providing documentation regarding the history of the School, student activism and the histories and cultural perspectives of marginalized people; and providing a buddy list to encourage contact between students. The overall evaluation of the process found that the lack of time and resources proved to be problematic throughout the project. The facilitators and second year students felt satisfied with having welcomed the new students in an empowering way. The new students confirmed that all the information provided was found to be useful. Final recommendations include how students can continue to work towards structural change
