description: We show how the sum of the two average tau polarisations in the decay chain chi20 -> stau1 tau -> tau tau chi10 in minimal supersymmetry with conserved R-parity can be measured at the LHC. This is accomplished by exploiting the polarisation dependence of the visible di-tau mass spectrum. Such a measurement provides information on the couplings of the involved SUSY particles and allows a more precise determination of the di-tau mass endpoint. If different tau decay modes can be distinguished, the polarisation and endpoint measurement can be improved even further.

Balances and Abelian Complexity of a Certain Class of Infinite Ternary Words
Creators: name: Turek, Ondřej
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Combinatorics (math.CO)

description: A word $u$ defined over an alphabet $\mathcal{A}$ is $c$-balanced ($c\in\mathbb{N}$) if for all pairs of factors $v$, $w$ of $u$ of the same length and for all letters $a\in\mathcal{A}$, the difference between the number of letters $a$ in $v$ and $w$ is less or equal to $c$. In this paper we consider a ternary alphabet $\mathcal{A}=\{L,S,M\}$ and a class of substitutions $ϕ_p$ defined by $ϕ_p(L)=L^pS$, $ϕ_p(S)=M$, $ϕ_p(M)=L^{p-1}S$ where $p>1$. We prove that the fixed point of $ϕ_p$, formally written as $ϕ_p^\infty(L)$, is 3-balanced and that its Abelian complexity is bounded above by the value 7, regardless of the value of $p$. We also show that both these bounds are optimal, i.e. they cannot be improved.

Uncontrolled or uncontrollable? : the young killer superwoman in young adult fiction
Creators: name: Lussier, Jessica
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: While the figure of the femme fatale, the killer woman, and the monstrous-feminine has been studied in contemporary adult fiction and media, an in-depth examination of the young killer superwoman in young adult literature has not been critically discussed. As the nexus of competing discourses on the proper spheres of masculinity and femininity, the young killer superwoman is a transgressive figure with the power to reshape not only her world but our own as well. In my examination of the young killer superwoman over the last fifteen years, I focus on the representation of three representative young women: Katsa from Kristin Cashore’s Graceling (2008), Juliette Ferrars from Tahereh Mafi’s Shatter Me trilogy (2011-2014), and Wu Zetian from Xiran Jay Zhao’s Iron Widow (2021-). Using the lenses of material feminism and posthumanism, I examine the ways in which these three young superwomen transform themselves—and their societies—for the better. In a world divided along binary patriarchal lines, Katsa harnesses her abilities to define her own place in her society—an individual transformation that aligns with the neoliberal leanings of the Girl Power movement. However, in a world that seeks to increasingly demonstrate the ineffectiveness of individual political, environmental, and sociocultural action, the representation of the young killer superwoman offers ways to balance notions of individuality and collectivity. In Shatter Me, Juliette extends Katsa’s individual transformation into a more expansive, collective gesture. With her transformation from a scared, fractured girl who cannot be touched into an untouchable superwoman, Juliette ignites a revolution against her dystopic society. While she, too, falls prey to neoliberal exceptionalism, Juliette nonetheless sets the stage for the most contemporary depiction of a young killer superwoman to date: Zetian in Iron Widow. Zetian’s unapologetic rage, explicit dismantlement of structural inequalities, and collective focus extends the young killer superwoman’s transgressive potential and inspires her readers to think critically about their own societies. As the ultimate transgressor of patriarchal standards and the limits of acceptability, the young killer superwoman creates space for smaller transgressions and redefines violence and power as no longer the sole purview of masculinity.

description: Résumé
 L’accès aux imageries anciennes et aux données open sources offre aujourd’hui des perspectives intéressantes pour découvrir l’originalité du paysage de bocage bamiléké, appréhender son évolution et mener de nouvelles observations sur l’aménagement de l’espace en terroir Bamiléké au Cameroun. Cette étude s’appuie sur un croisement de sources multiples afin de comprendre l’état et l’évolution du paysage bocager. Les résultats montrent un bocage en forte dégradation qui exprime des mutations socio-spatiales contemporaines dans la région. En effet, de 1955 à 2018, 45% des lignes de haies vives qui existaient ont été détruits à Bandjoun. Cette dégradation est liée aux facteurs comme la densification du bâti, le système agraire qui n’est plus associé à l’élevage, la recherche du bois énergie et la sécurisation foncière basée sur l’immatriculation. Abstract
 Access to archive images and open source data today gives interesting perspectives to discover the originality of enclosed landscape in the bamiléké area. This helps studying the dynamic and conducting new observations on the space management of the Bamileke region in Cameroon. This study rely on the piling of multiple images sources to understand its state and evolution of the hedgerow landscape. Results show a hedgerow in strong degradation which expresses contemporary socio-spatial mutations in the region. Indeed, from 1955 to 2018, 45% of hedges lines existing were destroyed in Bandjoun. This degradation results from factors such as the densification of buildings, the agrarian system that is no longer associated with breeding, the search for wood energy and land security based on registration.
Status of the global electroweak fit of the Standard Model
Creators: name: Hoecker, Andreas
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Results from the global Standard Model fit to electroweak precision data, including newest Tevatron measurements, are reviewed and discussed. The complete fit using also the constraints from the direct Higgs boson searches yields an upper limit on the Higgs mass of 153 GeV at 95% CL. The top mass is indirectly determined to be (177.2 +10.5 -7.8) GeV and (179.5 +8.8 -5.2) GeV for fits including or not the constraints from the direct Higgs searches, respectively. Using the 3NLO perturbative prediction of the massless QCD Adler function, the strong coupling constant at the Z-mass scale is determined to be alpha_s(MZ)=0.1193 +- 0.0028 +- 0.0001, which is in excellent agreement with the 3NLO result from hadronic tau decays. The perspectives of the electroweak fit for forthcoming and proposed future collider projects are discussed. The available constraints on the Higgs mass are convolved with the high-scale behaviour of the Higgs quartic coupling to derive likelihoods for the survival of the Standard Model versus its cut-off scale evolved up to the Planck mass.

description: The North Kensington case study (1976 - 2016) is used to explore the possibility of developing an evaluative framework for ‘spatial justice’ based on investigating a suite of interventions, to determine what values could be attributible to measured outcomes. By exploring an existing gap of how to express spatial outcomes linked to liberal democratic values, the research examines how articulated values and a nuanced approach to regionalized governance might aid better regeneration outcomes, examining a regional city centre neighbourhood in Peterborough.The research offers a basis for appraising strategic spatial interventions, with potential for a ‘values-led impact analysis’ in terms other thanfinancial: those of spatial justice values sought in a liberal democracy.

Some conclusive remarks.
description: The prevention and suppression of terrorist crimes within the European Union are subject of discussion at the European level, currently characterised by a heterogenous substantive framework that bears the risk of an insufficient response, particularly with regards to the massive spreading of terrorist content online. Indeed, while Directive 2017/541/EU provides a comprehensive discipline on the deterrence and repression of terrorist conducts, the EU is only just starting to address the specific problem of the illicit use of the internet by terrorists. Thus, the Commission's initiative to extend the competences of the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) to transnational terrorist crimes has timely recognised how the EU lacks a European level of prosecution and any compelling power towards domestic authorities. This creates gaps in investigations and proceedings in one Member State that may result in casualties or risks in the Union as a whole. This Article argues that the EPPO should consequently represent the central authority entrusted with the power to directly enforce instructions upon national prosecutors and to coordinate their joint actions in the field. This Article also suggests that Eurojust and Europol's capability as specialised agencies in this area should be enhanced on the basis of their well-established expertise on the subject.

description: Enormous successes have been made by quantum algorithms during the last decade. In this paper, we combine the quantum game with the problem of data clustering, and then develop a quantum-game-based clustering algorithm, in which data points in a dataset are considered as players who can make decisions and implement quantum strategies in quantum games. After each round of a quantum game, each player's expected payoff is calculated. Later, he uses a link-removing-and-rewiring (LRR) function to change his neighbors and adjust the strength of links connecting to them in order to maximize his payoff. Further, algorithms are discussed and analyzed in two cases of strategies, two payoff matrixes and two LRR functions. Consequently, the simulation results have demonstrated that data points in datasets are clustered reasonably and efficiently, and the clustering algorithms have fast rates of convergence. Moreover, the comparison with other algorithms also provides an indication of the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

description: We formulate minimum-error and unambiguous discrimination problems for quantum processes in the language of process positive operator valued measures (PPOVM). In this framework we present the known solution for minimum-error discrimination of unitary channels. We derive a "fidelity-like" lower bound on the failure probability of the unambiguous discrimination of arbitrary quantum processes. This bound is saturated (in a certain range of apriori probabilities) in the case of unambiguous discrimination of unitary channels. Surprisingly, the optimal solution for both tasks is based on the optimization of the same quantity called completely bounded process fidelity.

description: This paper examines market entrance and pricing strategies for a remanufacturer with capital constraint and competition from an original equipment manufacturer. In the study, the remanufacturer is divided into two types, namely the H-type and L-type, and is assumed to have access to bank loans and equity financing to ease the capital constraint. With the Nash game, it is found that (i) if remanufacturing is costly, the remanufacturer will choose partial remanufacturing and not enter into the remanufacturing market until the equity financing ratio excesses a certain threshold. (ii) A H-type remanufacturer is more flexible in term of market entrance than a L-type remanufacturer. (iii) The remanufacturer’s profit increases first and then decreases in the equity ratio. (iv) Equity ratio and interest rate have opposite effects on the pricing of the new and remanufactured products. Furthermore, with some research extensions, it is exhibited that the results and managerial implications developed in the paper hold well for different financing modes and the random demand setting, and hence are robust to a good extent.

description: Carbonaceous grains represent a major component of cosmic dust. In order to understand their formation pathways, they have been prepared in the laboratory by gas-phase condensation reactions such as laser pyrolysis and laser ablation. Our studies demonstrate that the temperature in the condensation zone determines the formation pathway of carbonaceous particles. At temperatures lower than 1700 K, the condensation by-products are mainly polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), that are also the precursors or building blocks for the condensing soot grains. The low-temperature condensates contain PAH mixtures that are mainly composed of volatile 3-5 ring systems. At condensation temperatures higher than 3500 K, fullerene-like carbon grains and fullerene compounds are formed. Fullerene fragments or complete fullerenes equip the nucleating particles. Fullerenes can be identified as soluble components. Consequently, condensation products in cool and hot astrophysical environments such as cool and hot AGB stars or Wolf Rayet stars should be different and should have distinct spectral properties.

description: Present Article deals with Directive 1/2019 which intends to harmonise public enforcement regimes of EU competition law in the Member States. The Directive does so by harmonising and complementing the existing decentralised system of competition law enforcement and empowering the competition authorities in the Member States to be more effective enforcers. In light of the overall topic "Shaping the Future of Europe", the Directive will be tested regarding its possibilities to contribute to more effectiveness, acceptance and ultimately deeper integration. It is concluded that the system complemented by Directive 1/2019 can overall be considered a success, multiplying enforcers and thus strengthening enforcement. With the preconditions of uniform - and uniformly interpreted - substantive law, well-equipped expert authorities as well as close cooperation within a network, it could, furthermore, even contribute to an ever closer union and serve as a role-model for other areas, too.

description: For several decades, the phenomenon of complementary currencies has been emerging without the law having taken much notice. Only with the emergence of the first virtual currencies have there been serious discussions on this topic. The motives of the initiators and groups are very different. Is it about maximising profits or about ecological, social and cultural goals? The author advocates the integration of complementary currencies that have actively contributed to societal problems into the legal framework of the European Union.

description: Monte Carlo is a versatile and frequently used tool in statistical physics and beyond. Correspondingly, the number of algorithms and variants reported in the literature is vast, and an overview is not easy to achieve. In this pedagogical review, we start by presenting the probabilistic concepts which are at the basis of the Monte Carlo method. From these concepts the relevant free parameters--which still may be adjusted--are identified. Having identified these parameters, most of the tangled mass of methods and algorithms in statistical physics Monte Carlo can be regarded as realizations of merely a handful of basic strategies which are employed in order to improve convergence of a Monte Carlo computation. Once the notations introduced are available, many of the most widely used Monte Carlo methods and algorithms can be formulated in a few lines. In such a formulation, the core ideas are exposed and possible generalizations of the methods are less obscured by the details of a particular algorithm.

Practical ad hoc tangible interactions in augmented reality
Creators: name: Fan, Xu (Neil)
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: By demonstrating the capability of creating enhanced immersive user experiences, Augmented Reality (AR) has received significant attention in recent years. However, the most common interaction methods with this new technology are still largely limited to in-air gesture, voice and gaze controls. Previous works have proven that involving haptic feedback by interacting with real objects can improve the users’ performance and reduce their workload. But they are still not mature enough to be adopted in commercial products. This thesis delves into this challenge, offering novel solutions to make tangible interactions in AR more practical and effective. We begin by addressing touch interactions on ad-hoc surfaces. The vision is to transform everyday, un-instrumented surfaces into expansive touch screens, enhancing AR's interactive domain. Existing systems, however, grapple with issues of touch detection accuracy and latency. By harnessing dynamic fingertip information, we introduce a cutting-edge machine learning approach that elevates touch accuracy and anticipates user interactions, significantly reducing response time. We also analyze the possibility of transforming real-world objects into passive controllers. Precise tracking of objects in a 3D space—represented by six degrees of freedom (DOF)—amplifies AR's spatial control potential. Yet, current methods either necessitate extraneous tracking markers, imposing undue burdens on users, or are too resource-intensive for real-time execution on devices like head-mounted displays. Addressing this, we present "TangiAR." This system identifies and tracks everyday objects in AR without auxiliary trackers. Its efficacy is evidenced through comprehensive tests, assessing its robustness under various challenges, such as occlusions. Moreover, we showcase its practical application, operating seamlessly on a standard HoloLens 2, underlining the immediacy of its integration potential. By bridging these tangible interaction gaps in AR, this thesis not only contributes to technical advancements but also underscores the broader implications for AR's future, emphasizing a more intuitive, responsive, and enriched user experience.

description: Using observations made with the XMM-Newton Observatory, we report the first X-ray detection of the high magnetic field radio pulsar PSR B1916+14. We show that the X-ray spectrum of the pulsar can be well fitted with an absorbed blackbody with temperature in the range of 0.08-0.23 keV, or a neutron star hydrogen atmosphere model with best-fit effective temperature of $\sim$0.10 keV, higher than expected from fast cooling models. The origin of the likely thermal emission is not well constrained by our short observation and is consistent with initial cooling or return-current heating. We found no pulsations in these data and set a 1$σ$ upper limit on the pulsed fraction in the 0.1--2 keV band of $\sim$0.7. Implications of these results for our understanding of the different observational properties of isolated neutron stars are discussed.

description: We investigate the extension of the Prokof'ev-Svistunov worm algorithm to Wilson lattice fermions in an external scalar field. We effectively simulate by Monte Carlo the graphs contributing to the hopping expansion of the two-point function on a finite lattice to arbitrary order. Tests are conducted for a constant background field i. e. free fermions at some mass. For the method introduced here this is expected to be a representative case. Its advantage is that we know the exact answers and can thus make stringent tests on the numerics. The approach is formulated in both two and three space-time dimensions. In D=2 Wilson fermions enjoy special positivity properties and the simulation is similarly efficient as in the Ising model. In D=3 the method also works at sufficiently large mass, but there is a hard sign problem in the present formulation hindering us to take the continuum limit.

description: In this Article, I combine political theory and defence-related institutional design in order to suggest what a future EU army could look like. I begin by explaining the main differences between national and international armed forces as well as the EU's current defence architecture. As a result, I observe that armed forces necessarily reflect the constitutional identity and theoretical architecture of their home political community. I then explain why, in my view, the idea of demoicracy best describes the EU's theoretical nature. On that basis, I discuss various questions of institutional design for a future EU army, for which the demoicratic nature of the EU both prescribes and constrains the available options. Apart from concrete design proposals, the two key takeaways are i) that there is conceptual space for autonomous armed forces beyond the nation-state, and ii) that any proposal for an EU army needs to be aware of its reflexive relationship with the nature of the EU as a political community.
Hematoma Enlargement Among Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury: Analysis of a Prospective Multicenter Clinical Trial
Creators: name: Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Institutes
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Observational studies suggest that hematomas continue to enlarge during hospitalization in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). There is limited data regarding factors associated with hematoma enlargement and on whether hematoma enlargement contributes directly to death and disability in patients with TBI. We analyzed data collected as part of the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium Hypertonic Saline and TBI Study. Hematoma enlargement was ascertained and collected as a predefined safety endpoint. We evaluated the effect of hematoma enlargement on the risk of death and disability at 6 months based on the Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOSE) (dichotomized as >4 or ≤4) using stepwise logistic regression analysis. We adjusted for age (continuous variable), admission GCS score (dichotomized at >5 and ≤5), and computed tomography (CT) scan classification (Marshall grades entered as a categorical variable). Of the 1200 patients with severe TBI analyzed, 238 (19.8%) patients were reported to have hematoma enlargement as an adverse event. The proportion of patients who reached favorable outcome at 6 months was significantly lower (defined by GOSE of >4) among patients with hematoma enlargement (29.0% vs. 40.1%, p<.0001). The proportion of patients who died within 6 months was significantly higher among patients with hematoma enlargement (31.9% vs. 20.7%, p<.0001). After adjusting for age, admission GCS score, and initial injury score, the odds of favorable outcome was lower in patients with hematoma enlargement (odds ratio 0.7, 95% confidence interval [CI]; 0.5–0.97). Our results suggest that hematoma enlargement may be a direct contributor to death and disability in patients with TBI at 6 months. Future clinical trials must continue to evaluate new therapeutic interventions aimed at reducing hematoma enlargement with a favorable risk benefit ratio in patients with TBI.

description: In this article we obtain asymptotic formulas for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the operator generated by a system of ordinary differential equations with summable coefficients and quasiperiodic boundary conditions. Then using these asymptotic formulas, we find conditions on the coefficients for which the number of gaps in the spectrum of the self-adjoint differential operator with the periodic matrix coefficients is finite.

description: The European Union defined hybrid threats as measures using diplomatic, military, economic and technological tactics to destabilise a political adversary. These threats are one of the emerging security challenges in Europe and have the potential to shape the future of the continent. It is EU policy that the primary responsibility for countering them lies with the Member States; and that NATO's mandate for the security of Europe makes it an important partner for the military and conventional deterrence aspects to tackle hybrid threats. This Article describes and discusses the legal tools available to the EU for deterring, mitigating or neutralising hybrid threats. The focus is on disinformation, hostile foreign subsidies and investment, cyber threats, border pressure, and lawfare. The EU seems, overall, legally well-equipped to counter the threats, thus positioning itself as the complementary and to a great extent autonomous ally of NATO in this domain. There is a distinctively supra-national dimension to virtually all of these threats, and this justifies that an EU competence arises. Hybrid threats cover such a broad array of issues that a single piece of legislation is neither feasible nor, probably, desirable; but if there were to be one, it would probably be based on art. 114 TFEU rather than on emergency clauses or on wholesale constitutional reforms. In any case, EU law will need to take into account that a close cooperation between the public and private sector is vital for countering hybrid threats.
A sociocultural analysis of adaptive skateboarding and wheelchair motocross
Creators: name: Dean, Nikolaus Alexander
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This dissertation research project explored physically disabled skateboarders’ and wheelchair motocross (WCMX) riders’ experiences within the skateboarding (sub)culture. Using (digital) qualitative methods, this project examined 30 physically disabled riders’ experiences within three different “skate spaces” 1) the skateboarding (sub)culture, 2) the digital space of Instagram, and 3) material spaces (skateparks and the streets). Situating this work in Critical Disability Studies, findings illustrated how participation in adaptive skateboarding and WCMX may offer disabled individuals a range of health benefits including enhanced physical and mental health and a myriad of social benefits including improved self-confidence and independence, expanded social networks, and greater sense of community and belonging. Findings also highlighted how participation in adaptive skateboarding and WCMX may allow disabled riders the opportunity to challenge ableist ideas and assumptions about disability. Despite these benefits, however, findings also illuminated how larger social, cultural, political, economic, and structural forces may influence disabled riders’ participation in different sporting milieus. This study contributes to literature on action sports, disability sport, and the sociology of sport and highlight both the benefits and challenges of participation in adaptive action sports for physically disabled people.

description: We present electric and magnetic properties of 0.8Pb(Fe1/2Nb1/2)O3-0.2Pb(Mg1/2W1/2)O3 films epitaxially grown on (001) SrTiO3 substrates using pulsed laser deposition. A narrow deposition window around 710 oC and 0.2 mbar has been identified to achieve epitaxial single-phase thin films. A typical Vogel-Fulcher relaxor-like dielectric and magnetic susceptibility dispersion is observed, suggesting magnetoelectric relaxor behavior in these films similar to the bulk. We determine a magnetic cluster freezing temperature of 36 K, while observing weak ferromagnetism via magnetic hysteresis loops up to 300 K.

description: We investigate the energy dependence of potentials defined through the Bethe-Salpeter wave functions. We analytically evaluate such a potential in the Ising field theory in 2 dimensions and show that its energy dependence is weak at low energy. We then numerically calculate the nucleon-nucleon potential at non-zero energy using quenched QCD with anti-periodic boundary condition. In this case we also observe that the potentials are almost identical at $E\simeq 0$ and $E\simeq 50$ MeV, where $E$ is the center of mass kinetic energy.

Solar stereoscopy - where are we and what developments do we require to progress?

description: Observations from the two STEREO-spacecraft give us for the first time the possibility to use stereoscopic methods to reconstruct the 3D solar corona. Classical stereoscopy works best for solid objects with clear edges. Consequently an application of classical stereoscopic methods to the faint structures visible in the optically thin coronal plasma is by no means straight forward and several problems have to be treated adequately: 1.)First there is the problem of identifying one dimensional structures -e.g. active region coronal loops or polar plumes- from the two individual EUV-images observed with STEREO/EUVI. 2.) As a next step one has the association problem to find corresponding structures in both images. 3.) Within the reconstruction problem stereoscopic methods are used to compute the 3D-geometry of the identified structures. Without any prior assumptions, e.g., regarding the footpoints of coronal loops, the reconstruction problem has not one unique solution. 4.) One has to estimate the reconstruction error or accuracy of the reconstructed 3D-structure, which depends on the accuracy of the identified structures in 2D, the separation angle between the spacecraft, but also on the location, e.g., for east-west directed coronal loops the reconstruction error is highest close to the loop top. 5.) Eventually we are not only interested in the 3D-geometry of loops or plumes, but also in physical parameters like density, temperature, plasma flow, magnetic field strength etc. Helpful for treating some of these problems are coronal magnetic field models extrapolated from photospheric measurements, because observed EUV-loops outline the magnetic field. This feature has been used for a new method dubbed 'magnetic stereoscopy'. As examples we show recent application to active region loops.

“Unconfinable knowledge” : curating, the curatorial and decolonization in the performing arts
Creators: name: Atkinson, Wendy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Programmers in the performing arts, particularly settler programmers, can use the concepts of curating and the curatorial as mechanisms to take steps towards decolonization, beyond inclusion and representation and particularly beyond the performance on stage. In this thesis I have taken a theoretical approach to argue that the concepts of curating and the curatorial can be used by performing arts programmers to support activities aimed at decolonization. I discuss three cases of university programmers booking Indigenous artists that serve as examples to support and illustrate my claims about the usefulness of the concept of curating. First, I outline how the concept of curating has been theorized in the visual arts literature and examine the role of curating to further social justice and decolonization in the visual arts. Second, using examples from the literature, my professional experience as a performing arts programmer and two examples of performances booked by programmers in university venues, I examine how social justice and decolonization goals have been taken up in the performing arts. I also review how performing arts scholars have written about the benefits and drawbacks of using the concept of curating in the performing arts. My study considers the limitations of programming by itself to further decolonization goals and I outline how the concepts of curating, and even more so the concept of the curatorial, offer programmers practical and theoretical direction to address decolonization in their practice. In the final chapter I explore the educative potential of the concept of the curatorial, in particular as characterized by Rogoff as an event of knowledge, and how the educational theories of Dewey, Rancière and Biesta connect with ideas of the curatorial. I argue that the concept of the curatorial offers opportunities for knowledge production and action in the pursuit of decolonization in the performing arts and that a curatorial approach opens up opportunities to take steps to decolonization that programming and curating do not offer.
