Awkward Choreographies from Cancer's Margins
Canadian and American population-based research concerning sexual and/or gender minority populations provides evidence of persistent breast and gynecologic cancer-related health disparities and knowledge divides. The Cancer's Margins research investigates the complex intersections of sexual and/or gender marginality and incommensurabilities and improvisation in engagements with biographical and biomedical cancer knowledge. The study examines how …
The Cancer’s Margins Project
Sexual and/or gender minority populations (LGBQ/T) have particular cancer risks, lower involvement in cancer screening, and experience barriers in communication with healthcare providers. All of these factors increase the probability of health decisions linked with poor outcomes that include higher levels of cancer mortality. Persistent discrimination against, and stigmatization of, LGBQ/T people is reflected in sparse medical curriculum addressi…
Impacts of colonization on Indigenous Two-Spirit/LGBTQ Canadians’ experiences of migration, mobility and relationship violence
An exploratory, community-based research project examined the paths of migration and mobility of Canadian Indigenous people who identify as Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and/or queer (LGBTQ). A total of 50 participants in Winnipeg, Manitoba and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada were interviewed, many of them telling stories about the multiple layers of domestic violence, violence in communities, state and structural violence t…
Gaps between beliefs, perceptions, and practices
The Every Teacher Project involved large-scale survey research conducted to identify the beliefs, perspectives, and practices of Kindergarten to Grade 12 educators in Canadian public schools regarding lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ)–inclusive education. Comparisons are made between LGBTQ and cisgender heterosexual participants, between participants teaching at different grade levels, and between participants in school distr…
Pride and Prejudice
School attachment is often regarded as a key measure in gauging the integration and wellbeing of students. Previous research suggests that levels of school attachment are generally lower among sexual minority students, but most studies focus on between-gender comparisons and do not conduct within-gender analyses. Using data from the First National Climate Survey on Homophobia and Transphobia in Canadian schools, this study set out to empirically …

Violence Against Separated, Divorced, and Married Women in Canada, 2004
The purpose of this study was to examine violence against separated, divorced, and married women using Statistics Canada's 2004 Statistics Canada. 2004. Divorces. The Daily, May 4: 1–5. [Google Scholar] General Social Survey. Based on a subsample of 6,716 heterosexual women (429 separated; 614 divorced; 5,673 married), available risk markers were examined in the context of a nested ecological framework. Consistent with past research, the results …
Mapping nondominant voices into understanding stress‐coping mechanisms
This study reports key findings from a research project, which examined the stress and coping mechanisms of several nondominant groups of individuals. The groups were based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and included (a) Aboriginal individuals with diabetes, (b) individuals with disabilities, and (c) gays and lesbians. Our analyses of personal narratives and life stories have led to develop an interpretive map of findings that depicts mechanisms o…
Coping with stress among gays and lesbians
Gays and lesbians are at risk of being exposed to high levels of stress because of their marginalized social identities and social locations in dominant cultures. Given the prevalence and significance of stress in the lives of gays and lesbians regardless of their age, stress-coping is one of the key axes of their development over the lifespan. The purpose of the present study was to examine the ways in which gays and lesbians cope with stress in…
Exploring Dynamics of Abusive Lesbian Relationships
This paper presents preliminary results from a multisite, qualitative study on violence in lesbian relationships. A framework for conducting community‐based, empowerment research that draws on theories of community psychology, feminism, and postmodernism is presented. The study was designed to understand the dynamics of abusive lesbian relationships and social service providers' responses to the abuse. Results from 80 in‐depth interviews with les…

Decentering Heterosexuality
This paper reports on research involving eight focus group discussions with seventy feminist counselors who respond in their work to abuse in lesbian relationships. Focus group discussions allowed for information to be gathered on their observations about same-sex partner abuse and at the same time provided occasion for critical reflexivity. The focus groups illustrate how thoroughly we rely on heteronormative discourses and feminist categories a…
Feminist Links, Postmodern Interruptions
Postmodern perspectives can constructively interrupt conventional views as long as social workers remain linked to feminist and other intersecting emancipatory movements. This article deconstructs the dichotomy between science and practice and presents a class exercise to illustrate how an analysis of feminist links–postmodern interruptions can promote a self-critical and proactive education in foundation courses for largely female students in hi…
