Expanding infrastructure ontologies: Integrative and critical insights for coastal studies and governance
Diverse knowledge insights are essential to inform action on bringing about transformations in how societies live with changing Earth, ocean and coastal systems. However, knowledge forms typically used in governance systems are stubbornly limited. This paper analyses the extent to which an expanding ontology of the concept of ‘infrastructure’ can contribute to building more integrated knowledge for governance in ocean and coastal contexts. This p…
Introduction to special issue on governance and fishing health and safety in the North Atlantic
Fishing safely during Covid-19 in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada: Making it happen
Globally, fisheries have been the site of multiple documented outbreaks of COVID-19. Existing studies point to the threat posed by the pandemic to livelihoods and health among migrant industrial fishery workers, small-scale fish harvesters, and fishing communities. They show the pandemic enhanced safety, economic, social and political layers of vulnerability in fisheries, while also showcasing examples of resilience. Case studies of COVID-19 resp…

Bridging fragmented knowledge between forecasting and fishing communities: Co-managed decisions on weather delays in Nova Scotia's lobster season openings
Construction work and the mobility imperative: Changing rhythms along uncertain paths
This article considers experiences of rhythmic change related to employment-related geographical mobilities in parts of the Canadian construction industry. Drawing on Lefebvrian rhythmanalysis and aspects of time-geography, we consider how workers and their loved ones negotiate changes in space-time patterns across careers in industrial construction, especially work at projects tied to resource development and extraction. Data are derived from in…
North Atlantic fishy feminists and the more-than-human approach: A conversation
Fisheries and aquaculture have been the subject of feminist research and activism globally for decades. The result is a rapidly expanding body of literature examining women and fisheries and gender relations from oceans to plate. This body encompasses diverse and substantive critiques of mainstream fisheries research, policy and practice that ignore women’s contributions showing how local practices, political economies and state policies (re)prod…
Fragile synchronicities: Diverse, disruptive and constraining rhythms of employment-related geographical mobility, paid and unpaid work in the Canadian context
Household, journey-to-work, and workplace dynamics intersect and are diverse and changing. These intersections contribute to gendered, classed, and racialized divisions of labour at home, at work, and on the road. Research on journeys-to-work has generally focused on journeys that happen daily, follow similar routes, at similar times, and involve travel to a single, fixed workplace. Time geography has shared some of this focus in its attention to…
On the Move and Working Alone: Policy Implications of the Experiences of Unionised Newfoundland and Labrador Homecare Workers
Homecare work is female-dominated, generally precarious, and takes place in transient and, sometimes, multiple workplaces. Homecare workers can engage in relatively complex employment-related geographical mobility to, from, and often between work locations that can change frequently and are remote from the location of their employer. Like other precarious workers, homecare workers may be more likely to experience work-related health and safety in…
Towards A Feminist Political Economy Framework for Analyzing Employment-Related Geographical Mobility
This article develops a feminist political economy framework for analyzing employment-related geographical mobility. We emphasize the relevance of political economy studies of class, neoliberalism, and globalization as well as feminist research on the interconnectedness between paid employment and social reproduction. Overall, we make the case for attending to how class, gender, racialization and/or ethnicity, citizenship, and other forms of diff…
Introduction to the Special Feature on rebuilding fisheries and threatened communities
In this introductory essay to the Special Feature on rebuilding fisheries and threatened communities, we review the contributions of the researchers whose work is contained in this Special Feature. The essays are reviewed using the lens of the three questions that were posed by the Special Feature editors: Why is rebuilding so challenging? What is the relationship between fishery collapse/degradation and short-and long-term issues for food securi…

The Changing Political Economy of Occupational Health and Safety in Fisheries: Lessons from Eastern Canada and South Africa
Growing literatures on the political economy of occupational health and safety and on the political economy of contemporary fisheries need to be better integrated to help us see how neoliberal globalization and overfishing are interacting with gender, race and class relations in regional fish harvesting and processing workplaces to affect occupational health risks and the consequences. This contribution uses findings from occupational allergy and…
Work and family life: Parental work schedules and child academic achievement
This review essay deals with interconnectivity between work life and family life. Specifically, it explores the relationship between parental work schedules and child academic achievement. Existing research focused on that relationship has been somewhat narrow in scope and has largely ignored the issue of underlying mechanisms. This review essay seeks to address those shortcomings by introducing a conceptual framework that sets out some potential…

Flexible Specialization: What’s that got to do with the price of fish
There is general agreement among crisis theorists that capitalism was in crisis during the 1970s and is currently undergoing a process of restructuring. However, they have offered divergent explanations for that crisis and arrive at different conclusions as to the significance of the current restructuring process for the future of capitalism and society as a whole

Competitive Merchants and Class Struggle in Newfoundland
Newfoundland's merchant class has often been described as a fishocracy. This description reflects three fundamental assumptions about Newfoundland: the primacy of fish in the Newfoundland economy; the presence of a solidary ruling class whose ascendancy was based upon their control of the fishery; and by extension, the existence of a class of oppressed and powerless fishermen
