A senior lecturer in English and Environmental Humanities, Cregan-Reid is also the author behind Footnotes - How Running Makes Us Human. He has a popular blog and has written widely on the subjects of health, literature, nature and the environment for publications such as the Guardian, Telegraph, and Literary Review and the BBC as well as numerous essays and articles for academic journals. His third book, Primate Change, was published in September 2018.
Vybarr Cregan-Reid talks to us about his new book, how the human body is changing and why we need to be aware of it

Molyneux’s question and the phenomenology of shape
No full textWilliam Molyneux raised the following question: if a congenital blind person is
made to see, and is visually presented with a cube and a globe, would he be able to
call the shapes before him a cube and a globe before touching them? Locke,
Berkeley, Leibniz, and Reid presented their phenomenological view of shape
perception, i.e. their view as to what it is like to perceive shape by sight and touch, in
responding to Molyneux’s Question. The four philosophers shared the view that
visual perception delivers no solid shape. This view would provide a premise for an
argument for immaterial objects. The purpose of my thesis is to reject that argument.
Kant’s view and John Campbell’s externalist account offer a way to reject the
premise of the argument in question. However, my strategy is not to adopt their view.
I pursue Reichenbach’s view that the there is no congruence or incongruence
involved in the visual phenomenology. I develop his view, and propose the view that
visual perception delivers no flat or solid shape. Although my view endorses the
premise in question, I can offer a way to reject the argument. This is because my
view is compatible with a form of externalism about perception (which differs from
Campbell’s). My view can also do full justice to the phenomenological views
presented by the four philosophers

Improving Online Multi-Person Tracking Occlusion: Scale Loss for Deep ReID Feature Learning
No full textOcclusion and crossing in Multi-Person Tracking always influence the tracking results. In this paper, we show how deep Re-Identification (ReID), which aims at matching pedestrians across non-overlapping video cameras, can be used to improve the occlusion problem on tracking. The learned ReID feature is more robust than other features used in traditional trackers because the training set is collected from different cameras which includes different parts of the same person.This also helps to solve the occlusion problem in tracking. We train a neural network with the designed scale loss which normalizes both weight vectors and output features to remove the effect of their scale variations on a large Person ReID dataset offline to learn the deep ReID model and build a framework combining detector and tracker to meet real-world application requirements. During the online tracking stage, the data association is solved by calculating the cosine distance cost matrix according to the learned ReID feature vectors. Experiments show that using ReID features can effectively reduce the occlusion index data on MOTChallenge, and the scale loss performs well. Overall our method achieves competitive performance on MOTChallenge, and the framework guarantees the running speed in real-time.Computer Scienc
Confronting two-tiered community recreation and poor women's exclusion: Promoting inclusion, health and social justice
No full textThe social, psychological, and physical health benefits of participation in physical activity and other forms of recreation are well documented (Frankish, Milligan and Reid; Sallis and Owen; Reid and Dyck), and evidence suggests that low-income women view access to community recreation as an important dimension of their health and their communities (Weber; Frisby and Hoeber). Although many community recreation departments in Canada have a social mandate of providing services to all citizens to promote health and well being, consistent barriers to regular involvement persist for those who live on the margins and are unable to conform to dominant expectations inherent in modern forms of public recreation (Frisby, Crawford and Dorer; Lyons and Langille;Harvey). With its individualist ideology, classist notions of self-responsibility, and fees for service, we argue that community recreation has become a two-tiered system where only those with sufficient social, cultural, and financial resources can participate (Kidd). Consequently, insufficient subsidies, policies requiring "proof of poverty," and discrimina- tory practices exclude poor women from being actively involved in health-promoting forms of community recreation.
The purposes of this paper are: i) to examine how low-income women see involvement in community recreation contributing to their health, and ii) to examine low-income women's experiences with exclusionary community recreation policies and practices. Hearing the voices of those who are marginalized from the knowledge production and policy development process is important when considering how public sector programs, policies, and practices can become more inclusive (Lord and Hutchison; Frisby and Hoeber). Through fostering inclusion rather than classist forms of service delivery, the community development and social justice mandates of many community recreation departments is advanced thus providing health-promoting resources for those living on the margins.Peer reviewedFinal article publishe
