Creating undeserving citizens
Debates about restricting birthright citizenship have invoked the term “birth tourism,” referring to racialized pregnant women suspected of traveling to a country with birthright citizenship solely to give birth to secure citizenship for their child. Although legal, Canadian media rhetoric frames “birth tourism” as fraudulent and stereotypes racialized immigrant mothers as morally suspect, while questioning the legitimacy of their children’s citi…
From Migrant to Transnational Families' Mental Health
This focused critical ethnography aimed to deepen our understanding of the impact of participating in a temporary, cyclical, low-wage migration program on the mental and emotional health (MEH) of Mexican women and their non-migrating family members. Except for global care chains research, the field of migrant mental health has paid limited attention to the importance of transnational family dynamics and the MEH of relatives beyond the workers' ch…
Advancing the Impact of Critical Qualitative Research on Policy, Practice, and Science
Discourses of research impact shape the ways in which critical qualitative research and researchers are evaluated in contemporary academic environments. Mainstream conceptualizations of research impact arise from a positivist perspective that challenges the aims and approaches of critical qualitative research. In this paper, we propose a framework for conceptualizing the impact of critical qualitative research on policy, practice, and science. Af…
Asymmetric Power Relations in Gynaecological Consultations for Cervical Cancer Prevention
A generic qualitative research, using a poststructuralist feminist perspective, was conducted in a Spanish gynaecology unit with the following aims: (a) to analyse how asymmetric power relations in relation to biomedical knowledge and gender shape the medical encounters between gynaecologists and women diagnosed with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and (b) to explore the cognitive, moral, and emotional responses expressed by patients. A total …
The Health Consequences of Neocolonialism for Latin American Immigrant Women Working as Caregivers in Spain
In Spain, most jobs available for Latin American immigrant women are in intimate labour (caregiving and domestic work). This work is usually performed under informal employment conditions. The objective of this study was to explain how the colonial logic mediates the experiences of Latin American women working in intimate labour in Spain, and the effects of such occupation on their health and wellbeing, using a decolonial theoretical framework. A…

I want to be able to show everyone that it is possible to go from being nothing in the world to being something”
Doing Science Differently
Hiring and promotion of qualitative researchers in the health sciences, in Canada and internationally, is impacted by the prestige of quantification as the ultimate measure of scientific quality in current academic and health-care settings. This is further exacerbated by neoliberal notions of productivity, which offer very limited forms of assessment for different ways of producing knowledge or doing science differently. While qualitative researc…
The health of workers in the global gig economy
BACKGROUND: The "gig" economy connects consumers with contractors (or workers) through online platform businesses to perform tasks (or "gigs"). This innovation in technology provides businesses and consumers access to low-cost, on-demand labour, but gig workers' experiences are more complex. They have access to very flexible, potentially autonomous work, but also deal with challenges caused by the nature of the work, its precariousness, and their…

Reclaiming the Potential of Transformative Scholarship to Enable Social Justice
Scholars within critical qualitative inquiry and health sciences are becoming increasingly interested in transformative scholarship as a means to pursue greater justice in society. However, transformative scholarship has been taken up within frameworks that given a lack of consistent alignment with the critical paradigm seem to fall short in this intention. This article aims to reclaim transformative scholarship as an epistemological and methodol…
Access and utilisation of social and health services as a social determinant of health
Although Spain has social and healthcare systems based on universal coverage, little is known about how undocumented immigrant women access and utilise them. This is particularly true in the case of Latin Americans who are overrepresented in the informal labour market, taking on traditionally female roles of caregivers and cleaners in private homes. This study describes access and utilisation of social and healthcare services by undocumented Lati…
"The "Conflicted Dying
Using a poststructural perspective, we examine the subjectivities that are produced when advanced cancer patients seek life extension through biomedical treatments. Seven case studies were developed that included 20 interviews with patients, family, nurses, and physicians recruited from a tertiary hospital in Canada, 30 documents, and 5 hours of participant observation. We identify seven types of subjectivity: (a) the Desperate Subject, (b) the C…
Rethinking Case Study Methodology in Poststructural Research
Little consideration has been given to how case study might be used in poststructural research to explore power relations that constitute a phenomenon. Many case study scholars, most notably Robert Yin, adopt a postpositivist perspective that assumes the "truth" can be accessed through applying prescriptive and rigid research techniques. Using a discussion of Michel Foucault's key theoretical ideas and the insights gained through a Foucauldian ca…
Determinants of Subjective Social Status and Health Among Latin American Women Immigrants in Spain
The Less Said, the Better
Silence has not been fully appreciated in qualitative research, despite an increased awareness of its significance in communication. Cultural indifference toward silence not only inhibits researchers' abilities to construct meaningful accounts but also negatively influences research outcomes. Drawing on the findings from our study, this article illustrates ways in which silence can be used in data analysis and how our reflexive approach reveals t…

The interpersonal management of environmental tobacco smoke in the home–a qualitative study
The home is a significant source of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure for many children and, therefore, increasingly a focus of intervention, although evidence of effectiveness remains equivocal. However, little is known about the nature, genesis, and micro-social context of self-imposed restrictions on smoking in the home. In this exploratory study, interviews were conducted in 15 diverse households that had resident children in Toronto…
Promoção à saúde e empoderamento
In this paper we describe the theoretical framework and the core strategies of health promotion followed by a critical intra- and extra-paradigmatic analysis of the key ideas of this movement. From an intra-paradigmatic perspective we privilege a critical social theory perspective for analyzing one of the key concepts of health promotion--empowerment--exploring its potential to transform community and professional practices in the field of health…

Foucault and nursing
While a commitment to the development of nursing theory has been a significant force in nursing scholarship, particularly in the US, the authors have noted a recent trend among nurses in different countries to develop Foucauldian interpretations of nursing. The objective of this paper is to identify those publications by nurses that employ a Foucauldian perspective and to provide a useful summative review of these works to date, which illustrate …
Qualitative Health Research in Ibero-America
Qualitative health research (QHR) comprises a field that has spread and consolidated in Ibero-America (Iberian and Latin American countries) during the 1990s. Until now, however, no systematic evaluation has been made of the qualitative health research published in the region. The aim of this article is to discuss four aspects of QHR: the capability and limitations of using international databases to identify Ibero-American qualitative health stu…
Rhizomatic thought in nursing
For decades, nursing as a discipline has tried to establish itself within the socio‐professional and the socio‐political arenas. To date, several theorists have attempted to thoroughly define the essence (ontology) of nursing while others have proposed means (syntax) to achieve this ‘collective’ objective. Considering that this preoccupation, rooted in essentialism, is pervasive in the nursing literature, our claim is that these quests should be …
Therapeutic landscapes of the mind
For over a decade, the concept of therapeutic landscapes has provided health geographers with a useful framework for investigating the dynamics between place and well-being. However, its application has been largely restricted to physical places in which human co-presence is a necessary condition. Through both a review of the literature on therapeutic landscapes and four personal narratives from immigrants to Canada, the concept is extended to in…

Unprotected sex among men who have sex with men in Canada
In Canada, there have been recent increases in HIV infections among men who have sex with men (MSM), making HIV transmission among MSM a continuing public health concern. In this paper, we explore the rationales of MSM for the practice of unprotected sex in casual or anonymous encounters. We found that the men in our sample acknowledged their ‘transgressive’ behaviour, engaged in numerous harm-reduction strategies, and offered varied yet connecte…
