Adaptations of a Community-Based NunatuKavut Inuit Mental Wellness Research Initiative During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Background: Western and biomedically oriented mental health interventions are often influenced by colonial frameworks, emphasizing individual deficits and overlooking cultural and community dimensions of care. Objective: The NunatuKavut Community Council partnered with community-based researchers to strengthen culturally grounded wellness services and programs. Methods: The NunatuKavut Mental Wellness Initiative, a community-based participatory r…
Navigating mental health needs at sea
Seafarers play a vital yet often underrecognized role in sustaining global trade, facing unique mental health challenges, that was further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Existing literature underscores elevated risks of anxiety, depression, and suicide among seafarers, heightened by isolation, extended contracts, and diminished shore leave. This is the first qualitative study exploring seafarer mental health needs and support use in Canadi…

Photovoice as an instructional tool—creatively learning social justice theory
This article aims to provide a record of how the use of the method of photovoice facilitated an enriched teaching and learning experience for graduate students in a Theories of Social Justice in Health class. The course required students from multiple disciplines to learn about social justice theories and then apply them to a health issue/concern. For their final project, students chose a topic of interest and choose to complete a traditional pap…

Reflections from a Creative Community-Based Participatory Research Project Exploring Health and Body Image with First Nations Girls
In Canada, Aboriginal peoples often experience a multitude of inequalities when compared with the general population, particularly in relation to health (e.g., increased incidence of diabetes). These inequalities are rooted in a negative history of colonization. Decolonizing methodologies recognize these realities and aim to shift the focus from communities being researched to being collaborative partners in the research process. This article des…
Breaking down ‘healthism’
In this article, we challenge dominant health and fitness discourses which stress individual responsibility in the attainment of these statuses. We examine the results of an empirical study exploring how a group of 15 Canadian immigrant youth, aged 12–17, discursively construct notions of health and fitness. Qualitative data were collected through focus groups and journaling and analyses were formed using feminist post-structuralist perspectives …
Taking Nonprofit Intermediaries Seriously
The federal government often works through nonprofit intermediaries to reach and empower communities in the United States. One increasingly popular policy strategy is to offer grant funding to intermediary organizations in an effort to strengthen communities. Funded intermediaries are tasked with building the capacity of faith‐based and community organizations at the local level, but the policy theory that informs these programs does not specify …
To Work More or Not to Work More
Employment promotion has dominated antipoverty policies in the United States over the last several decades. Increased employment, especially in low-wage jobs, has not generated economic stability for many parents and has brought to light uneasy tensions between increased earnings, less time with children, and reduced public supports that families face in moving up the economic ladder. We use data collected from 22 focus groups conducted with low-…
Adgar's Gracial and Christian images of Jews in twelfth-century vernacular literature
This article concerns the adaptation and translation into the Anglo-Norman vernacular of an existing tradition of Latin miracles of the Virgin by the twelfth-century poet William Adgar. Adgar included many older ideas about Jews in his version of the stories, but also borrowed themes and language from contemporary courtly romance literature in order to suit his intended audience of lay nobles. In doing so, he portrayed Christian characters as the…
