This thesis discusses two key topics: strangeness and charge
symmetry violation (CSV) in the nucleon. It also provides a
pedagogical introduction to chiral effective field theory tailored
to the high-precision era of lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD).
Because the nucleon has zero net strangeness, strange observables
give tremendous insight into the nature of the vacuum; they can
only arise through quantum fluctuations in which
strange-antistrange quark pairs are generated. As a result, the
precise values of these quantities within QCD are important in
physics arenas as diverse as precision tests of QCD, searches for
physics beyond the Standard Model, and the interpretation of dark
matter direct-detection experiments. Similarly, the precise
knowledge of CSV observables has, with increasing experimental
precision, become essential to the interpretation of many searches
for physics beyond the Standard Model. In this thesis, the
numerical lattice gauge theory approach to QCD is combined with the
chiral perturbation theory formalism to determine strange and CSV
quantities in a diverse range of observables including the octet
baryon masses, sigma terms, electromagnetic form factors, and
parton distribution functions. This thesis builds a comprehensive
and coherent picture of the current status of understanding of
strangeness and charge symmetry violation in the nucleon.
