“I Watched my Child Become Half of the Person They Were”: Emergency Remote Learning Experiences Among Primary Caregivers of Elementary School Children During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Transitioning to emergency remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic substantially impacted families; however, the lived experiences of caregivers with young children regarding this transition remain largely unexplored in Canada. The purpose of this paper was to report on how primary caregivers of school-aged children experienced this shift. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 22 caregivers. Analysis revealed five findings: (1) emot…
Creating and Evaluating an Arts-Based Online Interview Protocol to Explore Children’s Experiences of Resilience During the Covid-19 Pandemic
During COVID-19, social distancing regulations hindered traditional in-person child research. To study children’s lived experiences of resilience during COVID-19, a novel, arts-informed online interview protocol was developed and evaluated for utility and feasibility. In total, 27 children (ages 7–10) participated in an eight-stage semi-structured interview: (1) Introductions and assent; (2) Icebreaker activity; (3) Agenda; (4) Resilience video; …
“I Think Resilience Is Being Able to, You Know, Take Stock of the Situation You're in and Kind of Rally and Work Your Way Through”: Exploring Structural Resilience among Primary Caregivers During the …
When COVID-19 became a global pandemic in March 2020, governments around the world implored citizens to “be resilient” for the greater good. However, very little practical information was provided about how people could mobilize resilience, which is typically presented as an individual-level resource. Our qualitative interpretive description study was designed to explore the structural factors that influenced resilience among primary caregivers o…
Exploring resilience and self-care among mothers in Ontario during the Covid-19 pandemic: A qualitative study
Introduction During the pandemic governments and public health sectors promoted resilience as a strategy to cope with the socio-economic precarity introduced by COVID, including additional maternal childcare. However, the ways that resilience was operationalized in mothers’ lives is not well understood and neither is the degree to which they cared for themselves. Our study addressed this research gap and contributed novel insights to the pandemic…
The Resilience and Socioeconomic Status of Caregivers and School-Aged Children During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Objectives: Conducted during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ontario, Canada, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between (1) caregiver and child resilience; and (2) socioeconomic status (SES) and the resilience of both caregivers and children. Background: The COVID-19 pandemic introduced many unanticipated challenges for school-aged children and caregivers and navigating them required tremendous resilience. The …
Exploring the links between slang and sexual and gender-based violence among university students in a Canadian city
Despite decades of research and education, sexual and gender-based violence remain distressingly prevalent on university and college campuses globally. The taboos associated with sex, gender inequity, and living in a patriarchal world where misogyny is glorified and criminalised are key socio-cultural determinants driving these forms of violence. Less is known about the ways in which sexual slang or terminology impact how students experience and …
We Cause a Ruckus”: Exploring How Indigenous Youth Navigate the Challenges of Community Engagement and Leadership
Using qualitative data from an interdisciplinary research project about mental health and community engagement with Indigenous youth in Kasabonika Lake First Nation (Ontario, Canada), this paper explores the factors that constrain and facilitate their ability to contribute to the well-being of their community. Case studies are employed to demonstrate how the youth navigate complex social and structural conditions within the context of on-going co…
Money, Agency, and Self-Care among Cisgender and Trans People in Sex Work
Many qualitative studies about the exchange of sex for money, drugs, and less tangible outcomes (i.e., social status) contend that this activity contributes to high levels of internalized stigma among people in sex work. The cis (n = 33) and trans people (n = 5) who participated in our project about health, violence, and social services acknowledged the stigma associated with sex work but were not governed by the dominant discourse about its mora…
Body Mapping: Visual research & transformative human experience
This article explores body mapping, a participant-driven approach wherein people create richly illustrated life-size maps that articulate their embodied experiences relative to various issues. First developed in the global South as a means of community mobilization and advocacy regarding women's health and HIV-related care needs, body mapping is now used by researchers, health practitioners, and community agencies globally to explore social deter…
Balance, Capacity, and the Contingencies of Everyday Life: Narrative Etiologies of Health Among Women in Street-Based Sex Work
There is an abundance of health research with women in street-based sex work, but few studies examine what health means and how it is practiced by participants. We embrace these tasks by exploring how a convenience sample of sex workers ( n = 33) think about and enact health in their lives. Findings reveal pluralistic notions of health that include neoliberal, biomedical, and lay knowledge. Health is operationalized through clinic/hospital visits…
People like us”: Spatialised notions of health, stigma, power and subjectivity among women in street sex work
Most spatially-oriented studies about health, safety and service provision among women in street sex work have taken place in large urban cities and document how the socio-legal and moral surveillance of geographical spaces constrain their daily movements and compromise their ability to care for themselves. Designed to contribute new knowledge about the broader socio-cultural and environmental landscape of sex work in smaller urban centres, we co…
Shared Precarities and Maternal Subjectivities: Navigating Motherhood and Child Custody Loss Among North American Women in Street-Based Sex Work
Drawing upon over a decade of research in our respective communities, we argue that the intergenerational socioeconomic insecurities and violence prevalent in the lives of North American street-involved women, their families, and others in their social circles constitute a set of shared precarities. Taking both socioinstitutional and interpersonal forms, shared precarities obviate the women's rights to access the lived experience and social statu…

Sex Workers and Criminalization in North America and China: Ethical and Legal Issues in Exclusionary Regimes
You just have to be smart’: Spatial practices and subjectivity among women in sex work in London, Ontario
Social science research on the relationship between space and sex work, specifically among women in street-based settings, demonstrates the spatialized nature of risk and how different forms of civic and legal governance contribute to their socio-economic marginalization. However, these studies rarely consider the women’s spatial practices and gendered subjectivities beyond the sex trade, which is problematic because sex work is not their singula…
Vets, denialists and rememberers: Social typologies of patient adherence and non-adherence to Haart from the perspective of HIV care providers
For many people living with HIV/AIDS taking highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is difficult due to various individual and social factors, including the side effects of these medications, HIV/AIDS stigma and poor patient-provider relationships. Most studies that examine barriers to and facilitators of adherence to HAART have been conducted with people on these medications, which is critical to improving adherence among various HIV-affect…
My job is to deal with what I can”: HIV care providers’ perspectives on adherence to Haart, addictions, and comprehensive care delivery in Vancouver, British Columbia
People with drug addictions have among the lowest rates of adherence to HIV medications (i.e. HAART) of any infected population, which is often explained through reference to the instability associated with problematic drug use and the ‘chaos’ that is assumed to characterize the lives of people with addictions. Many studies examine the links between addiction and adherence from the perspective of HIV-positive populations, but few explore how HIV …
Identifying self-perceived HIV-related stigma in a population accessing antiretroviral therapy
This study identifies factors associated with self-perceived HIV-related stigma (stigma) among a cohort of individuals accessing antiretroviral therapy in British Columbia, Canada. Data were drawn from the Longitudinal Investigations into Supportive and Ancillary Health Services study, which collects social, clinical, and quality of life (QoL) information through an interviewer-administered survey. Clinical variables (i.e., CD4 count) were obtain…
Identity management, negotiation and resistance among women in the sex trade in London, Ontario
Sex work, and ideas about women in the trade, have long been represented as tragic and/or threatening. However, such portrayals tell us very little about how women think about themselves and the kinds of work they do. The data for this paper come from an ethnographic, community-based study in London, Ontario, that involves women in street-based, indoor and transactional sex work. This discussion focuses on how women develop different individual i…
Why can't I?’: An exploration of sexuality and identity among Canadian youth living with physical disabilities
Sexuality, self-image and identity formation are significant topics for all adolescents, including those with physical disabilities. However, for youth living with physical limitations, these issues are often ignored or overshadowed by more immediate health concerns due to discomfort, anxiety, or a lack of information that parents and care providers may have regarding these potentially sensitive topics. The data for this paper are part of a quali…

The use of visual research methodologies is quickly growing in a number of disciplines and can help researchers to access information and reasoning not accessible through interview, log or survey. The reflexive, reflective, engaged process of creating and analysing visual materials allows for rich representations on behalf of participan…

How Do You Like Me Now: Exploring Subjectivities and Home/Field Boundaries in Research with Women in Sex Work
Anthropological analyses of blurred researcher-participant relationships and fieldwork boundaries in settings that double as the field and the researcher's home typically focus on the anthropologist's experiences, to the exclusion of how participants construct their own subjectivities in these fluid field sites. Using ethnographic vignettes from our research with women in sex work conducted in the neighbourhoods and services provision sites where…
Strategies for Sustainability Among HIV/Aids-Related NGOS in Canada and India
Anthropologists have been involved in the implementation of culturally appropriate HIV/AIDS intervention programs since the advent of the disease. The tradition of applied research in areas like health in "developing" countries and urban "street cultures" (e.g., homeless and low income people, various drug scenes) since the 1950s make it a discipline well-suited to the study of HIV/AIDS, which is often associated with poor and socially marginaliz…
