Publications Database

Welcome to the new Schulich Peer-Reviewed Publication Database!

The database is currently in beta-testing and will be updated with more features as time goes on. In the meantime, stakeholders are free to explore our faculty’s numerous works. The left-hand panel affords the ability to search by the following:

  • Faculty Member’s Name;
  • Area of Expertise;
  • Whether the Publication is Open-Access (free for public download);
  • Journal Name; and
  • Date Range.

At present, the database covers publications from 2012 to 2020, but will extend further back in the future. In addition to listing publications, the database includes two types of impact metrics: Altmetrics and Plum. The database will be updated annually with most recent publications from our faculty.

If you have any questions or input, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Abstract Locating and analyzing the ethics of ‘corporate vultures’ in the Alberta oil and gas industry, this study responds to calls to better understand how corporations fail to serve people who are poor, disempowered, or involuntarily displaced; how they collude with state actors to ‘dictate life and death;’ and how they ‘invisibilize’ mortality and erase or mystify the violence that they do. Drawing on 10 years of government well-license reports, well-listing data for over 600,000 wells, and a series of secondary reports, the study examines these actors and their effects through the lens of the ‘necro’ (i.e., necrocapitalism, necroptics, and necro-waste). In so doing, the study finds that these corporations act more like vampires than vultures. It also challenges existing business ethics arguments regarding the moral acceptability of these corporations’ practices. Finally, it questions the taken-for-granted way in which critics reproduce the term ‘vulture.’
