Dr. Kate Parizeau is interested in research questions concerning the social context of waste and its management. Her research uses waste management practices as a lens through which to interrogate complex systems of social organization and human exchanges with the natural world.
I examine professional interactions in the context of therapy. I use discourse and conversation analysis to study the micro-details of social interaction.
My research improves life by assessing workplace tasks and devices for end user injury potential. Once the risk is understood, new methods and devices are designed to minimize the potential of developing injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
I combine experiments, simulations, and theory to tackling problems like improving small hydropower systems, modeling the climate inside greenhouses, and studying airflow in both industrial processes and outdoors.
I study glacial deposits to reconstruct past climate change and to better understand how these deposits affect the movement of groundwater and contaminants today.
The School of Environmental Sciences (SES) at the University of Guelph is a great place for your graduate education as it provides the opportunity to be exposed and/or get experience in a multitude of scientific disciplines.
