This study considers the role universities nurturing trust and shared understanding by adapting international dialogue facilitation strategies to a local university context. We conducted 12 semi-structured interviews with senior policymakers and civil society leaders to explore the potential role of publicly-funded universi…
Sharing private charging piles to develop electric vehicle charging and vehicle-to-grid services
The increasing use of electric vehicles (EVs) has led to challenges in determining the most effective methods for charging their batteries. A potential solution to address this issue is the expansion of smart homes equipped with renewable energy sources, such as wind turbines and solar panels, to meet the growing demand for EV charging. By installing private charging piles (PCPs) in homes and enabling their sharing, both homes and EVs can benefit…

The Commercial Determinants of Men’s Health Promotion
Although the social determinants of health have guided equity work with the tailoring of men’s health promotion programs, the role of, and potential for, the commercial determinants of health in those interventions is rarely addressed and poorly understood. While four commercial products, tobacco, alcohol, ultra-processed food, and fossil fuels, account for more than a third of global deaths, there is a need to recognize that consumer goods indus…
Masculinity, Meat, and Veg*nism
Men historically consume more meat than women, show fewer intentions to reduce meat consumption, and are underrepresented among vegans and vegetarians. Eating meat strongly aligns with normative masculinities, decisively affirming that “real men” eat meat and subordinating men who choose to be veg* n (vegan or vegetarian). The emergence of meat alternatives and increasing environmental concerns may contest these long-standing masculine norms and …
Why foreign agricultural investment fails? Five lessons from Ethiopia
In the past two decades, foreign direct investment (FDI) in emerging economies has witnessed substantial growth in the agricultural sector. Globally, more than a quarter of these investments have failed. Beyond case studies, the factors that contribute to these failures have been subject to limited research. To address this research gap, this article draws on a unique data set of 106 investments in Ethiopia, from which failures were identified an…

Queering consumption
The purpose of this study is to investigate how sexual identity is constructed among gay fashion consumers in Hong Kong through myriad consumption practices. We employed ethnographic research methods and conducted thirteen in-depth interviews with gay male consumers in Hong Kong to examine the relationship between identity and lifestyle consumption, as well as symbolic consumption and tribal behaviour, within a ‘gay’ community. The findings captu…
Double ‘in-process’ identity project
This study examines the identity transformation among the Chinese young consumers who resided in Shanghai, China. The living environment has heralded an era of multiple market ideologies infusing western cosmopolitanism into Chinese traditions. Thus, in this article, we examine how the Chinese youngsters deal with a diversity of symbols to construct the ‘New Chinese’ cosmopolitan identity by (1) redefining their modern and cosmopolitan selves thr…

This paper based on both primary and secondary data sources investigates how India's democratic political leadership has facilitated higher education reform for fostering innovation while underlining key differences in the policy approach of the Chinese leadership. Findings identify the areas of ref…
Introducing participatory action research to vocational fashion education
This paper revisits the philosophical trajectory and practices in fashion education. It examines to what extent participatory action research (PAR) can contribute to the advancement of vocational education by emancipating practice-based skills and knowledge co-created by students, faculty members, and market practitioners. While the fashion market is dynamically reshaping today’s fashion pedagogy by imparting new skills and abilities to students,…
Inter‐ versus intra‐channel trust transfer on an online‐to‐offline (O2O) platform
The existing literature acknowledges the important role of trust between a firm and its customers but pays little attention to the dynamics of trust during the process of trust transfer. Our case study of the emergence of Doctor & You in China, a medical online‐to‐offline (O2O) platform, and identifies three phases of interaction between customers, merchants, and the platform and how the critical contributing factors impact the development of ins…
Community stakeholder‐driven technology solutions towards rural health equity
BACKGROUND: Technology holds great potential for promoting health equity for rural populations, who have more chronic illnesses than their urban counterparts but less access to services. Yet, more participatory research approaches are needed to gather community-driven health technology solutions. The purpose was to collaboratively identify and prioritize action strategies for using technology to promote rural health equity through community stake…
Are we failing female and racialized academics? A Canadian national survey examining the impacts of the Covid‐19 pandemic on tenure and tenure‐track faculty
The novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused the abrupt curtailment of on-campus research activities that amplified impacts experienced by female and racialized faculty. In this mixed-method study, we systematically and strategically unpack the impact of the shift of academic work environments to remote settings on tenured and tenure-track faculty in Canada. Our quantitative analysis demonstrated that female and racialized faculty experi…
Social, political, commercial, and corporate determinants of rural health equity in Canada
People in rural and remote areas often experience greater vulnerability and higher health-related risks as a result of complex issues that include limited access to affordable health services and programs. During disruptive events, rural populations face unique barriers and challenges due to their remoteness and limited access to resources, including digital technologies. While social determinants of health have been highlighted as a tool to unde…
Global fashion brands and the construction of ‘Modern Girl’ archetypes in the emerging Chinese market
The rapid growth of the Chinese economy since the late 1970s has dramatically changed the dynamics of the marketplace. China’s consumer society has been transformed to a more liberal market system in which a variety of diverse market imageries have been created and circulated to consumers. This article examines how global fashion brands construct different ‘modern girl’ archetypes for consumers in the emerging Chinese market. Through conducting a…
Visualizing community pride

Design/methodology/approach The authors draw on a case illustration of a photo- and video-voice campaign involving rural communities in British Columbia, Canada. Findings The authors find that visual research methods, in the form of photo- and video-voice campaigns, allow participants to form ties…
From Wall 1.0 to Wall 2.0
Writing as an ideological act of resistance and recognition among members of the socially disenfranchised has been engaged with in myriad contested political and cultural terrains. Historically, for Palestinian refugees living under conditions of Israeli occupation, expressions of resistance and recognition were visually and textually inscribed through provocative displays of graffiti on the very separatist wall erected by their occupiers. More r…
Studying Consumption Behaviour through Multiple Lenses
Since Miller's (1995) ground-breaking directive to the anthropology community to research consumption within the context of production, CCT has come of age, offering distinctive insights into the complexities of consumer behaviour. CCT positions itself at the nexus of disciplines as varied as anthropology, sociology, media studies, critical studies, and feminist studies; overlapping foci bring theoretical innovation to studies of human behaviours…
Mobile Device Usage before and during the Covid-19 Pandemic among Rural and Urban Adults
Technology has played a critical role during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite affording a safe way for people to connect with others, the potential for problematic device usage (e.g., overuse, addiction) should be considered. The goal of this study was to examine mobile device use during the COVID-19 pandemic among rural and urban people in Canada. Based on an online survey conducted in the summer of 2021 in British Columbia (n = 465), participants…
