This thesis focuses upon the writings of the contemporary North American feminist theologian Mary Daly. It takes the form of a critical study of Daly's thought in terms of five tributary influences. It represents a contribution to two areas of research: the history of feminist ideas, and the ongoing methodological debate within feminism as to the possible relationship between feminist theory and 'conventional' theory. In chapter one Daly's political thought is introduced through a discussion of the influence of the tradition of radical feminism. The principle aim of this chapter is to clarify, as far as possible, the dual process of influence that exists between her thinking and the work of certain radical feminist theorists. In chapter two the influence of Beauvoirian existentialism upon Daly's thought is examined in the wake of the claim that in drawing from Simone de Beauvoir's feminist existentialist analysis of women's situation, in The Second Sex, Daly assimilates Sartrean existentialist assumptions which are problematic from a feminist perspective. In chapter three turn to address Daly's philosophical- theological debt to Thomas Aquinas and the Thomist tradition. I trace the history of Daly's dealings with Thomism, including her criticism, and briefly evaluate her continued feminist engagement with its ontology. In chapter four Daly's utilisation of Peter L. Berger's sociological theory is explored. I discuss Daly's feminist criticism of Berger's theory of 'worldbuilding' and proceed to evaluate her subsequent attempts to use Berger's work as the starting-point for a new feminist sociology of knowledge. In the fifth and final chapter the abiding influence of Christianity to Daly's 'revolutionary' theological agenda is highlighted and explored with reference to the contemporary division of theological labour between so-called 'reformists' and 'revolutionaries'. The thesis ends with a few concluding remarks about Daly's methodology with regard to 'conventional' theory.

Hazardous air pollutants (HAP’s) are assumed to act without threshold meaning any level of exposure can theoretically initiate the carcinogenic process. With approximately 57,000 new cancer diagnoses and 25,900 deaths predicted in Ontario in 2006, the implications of lifetime low dose cumulative exposure to HAP’s in the etiology of cancer is unknown, yet may be significant. As such, this burden of disease (BoD) model was designed to provide a comprehensive assessment of the current and future BoD attributable to long term cumulative exposure to six carcinogenic HAP’s in two highly exposed regions of Ontario, using a summary measure of population health, disability-adjusted life years (DALY’s). Results indicated a total of 32,074 DALY’s were lost in Toronto and Southwestern Ontario (SWO) from six cancer sites in 2001, with the largest burden from cancers of the lung, followed by lymphomas, then leukemia. Approximately 0.58% of the burden (187 DALY’s) was attributable to current HAP exposures, with the largest health impacts associated with exposure to nickel refinery dusts in SWO (8.91 DALY’s) and benzene in Toronto (46.30 DALY’s). The model predicted 0.3% of the exposure attributable BoD (96 DALY’s) could be avoided in the future if ambient exposures were reduced to a feasible distribution. If ambient exposures were further reduced to levels expected if there were no anthropogenic releases, the model predicts 147 DALY’s could be avoided, such that only 0.12% of the total BoD would be attributable to natural sources of HAP’s. Results of the sensitivity analysis support the notion of the DALY as a robust measure to estimate exposure attributable health impacts, as the incorporation of alternative value choices had negligible impact on the relative importance of cancer sites, or exposures to the total BoD. Results of the model can be used by decision makers to inform public health policy regarding abatement priorities of HAP’s in Ontario, on the basis associated health impacts.

The writing of the French architectural theorist and critic Cesar Daly (1811-1894), editor of the influential Parisian journal, the Revue generale de l'architecture et des travaux publics, may be considered to be representative of the ambivalence of the supposed 19th century dialectic between scientism and metaphysical idealism. For Daly the physical and representational needs of society expressed in architecture were always and forever inextricably linked by the universal and permanent pattern of History. Although it was his fundamental thesis that the human sensibility was more important than any other consideration in the creation of architecture, his theory is paradigmatic of the contemporary ideology which attempted to define and systemise the expressive role of architecture according to rational scientific principles, and resulted in the concept of architecture as a prescriptive and predictive process. / Given the separation of architectural form and content, presence and meaning, and the consequent challenge to the possibility of shared experience initiated in the Enlightenment which is still an inherent part of our contemporary architectural thought, it is crucial to re-examine the architectural theory of the 19th century as the origin of the modern condition. This thesis is a critical examination of Daly's collections of polemical articles from the Revue as artifacts of architectural knowledge, through an analysis of their form and content in relation to other significant 19th century architectural texts.
