Acknowledgements

This project has been a wonderful excuse to read a lot of interesting articles. I would not have been able to spend the time reading, compiling, and writing without the help of several people in my life.

First of all, thank you to all of my professors for delivering learning that helped me to get my ideas out there in a way that doesn’t completely terrify me.

Thank you to my partner, Manuel, who with love in his heart, took my dogs every night I had a course to attend because, well…beagles. He also helped with an incredibly stressed-out moment where my computer wouldn’t start. His patience and level-headedness with my panic was invaluable.

Finally, thanks to every friend, family member, and colleague who was willing to discuss ideas with me, keep me on track, and push me forward. You are, and have always been, my favourite people!
