The Face as Image: Witnessing, Minimizing Harm and Testimony
This paper explores the human face as an important image, and as visual data, in the context of academic work. We explore its philosophical value through a discussion of testimony and witnessing, visual data through the interface between academia and social media in the broader world, and with a reflection of university-based ethics. We explore the example of academic publication of a participant's face as presented in peer reviewed journals, onl…
Research on Abuse in Home Care: A Scoping Review
Home care is the preferred care option for most people who need support; yet abuse exists in these settings toward both home care workers and clients. There are no existing reviews that assess the scope of current research on abuse in home care, and tangentially related reviews are dated. For these reasons, a scoping review is warranted to map the current state of research on abuse in home care and examine current interventions in this field. Dat…
A qualitative study of refugee men's mental health in non-metropolitan Manitoba
In bringing together literature on masculinity, refugee mental health experiences, and rural and non-metropolitan settings, we identify a gap surrounding the mental health experiences of refugee men in non-metropolitan places, and in non-metropolitan Canada specifically. In this article, we explore how refugee men in non-metropolitan Canada understood mental health; what they perceive to be the most significant barriers to good mental health; and…
If you’re serious about losing weight, why are you drinking all those Cokes?’: A critical discourse analysis of interviews on sugar-sweetened beverages amongst residents of a middle to upper class nei…
Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) have been identified as a health policy target, due to their associations with weight gain. However, fatness or 'obesity' is associated with stigma, and for 'obese' children, mother blame; thus, SSB policies must be evaluated for their potential to reinforce existing forms of stigma. The purpose of this study was to explore discourses mobilized in discussion of SSB consumption and purchasing amongst residents of a …

Exploring ageing and time as resources in men's mental health experiences
While research on men's mental health is increasing, it has not typically focused on the intersections between ageing, masculinity and mental health in a rural context. Given the significant increase not only in our global ageing population, but also our growing awareness of mental health problems in the general population, understanding men as they grow older in relation to mental health is a notable gap in research. In this paper, the authors e…
Renovations of a Long-Term Care Center for Residents with Advanced Dementia—Impact on Residents and Staff
The long-term care environments in which older persons with dementia live could have an effect on residents and staff. The purpose of this study was to evaluate renovations to a long-term care center for individuals with advanced dementia using a multi-method approach. Renovations included lighting, design elements to reduce noise, and exit-seeking behaviors, along with attempting to create a more home-like environment through smaller dining spac…
Hearing their voices: Youths’ experiences of unstable housing and homelessness post-care
Youths who age out of care face adverse health outcomes and high rates of homelessness. This study used content analysis to explore: “What are the post-care housing experiences of youth who have transitioned from care through an independent support program?” Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 youths who had aged out of care. Six service providers who worked with youth in care in various capacities were also interviewed. Data analys…

OBJECTIVE: To design a Decision Guide to support people living with HIV in assessing contexts, risks and benefits of workplace disclosure in choosing whether or not, or to what extent, to disclose. In this report, we review the participatory design of a Decision Guide prototype and focus on its…
Under Reporting of Abuse of Older Adults in the Canadian Prairie Provinces
This tri-provincial mixed methods study explores the reasons for under reporting abuse of older adults in the Prairie Provinces of Canada. Abuse of community-residing older adults, and specifically the reasons for not reporting such abuse, is poorly understood. This paper discusses the findings of the qualitative arm of the study that collected data through interviews with older adults having histories of abuse, their family members and service p…
Families with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders: Exploring adoptive parents’ experiences of family well-being
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is the leading non-genetic cause of developmental disability in Canada. It poses many challenges at the individual, family and societal levels. This study explores adoptive parents’ experiences of having a child with FASD in their family and how these experiences impact family well-being and, specifically, parenting, family dynamics, sources of support and coping strategies. Using an Interpretive Phenomenolo…
I never wanted my children to see their father the way I've seen mine: Caring masculinities and fathering on the Prairies
In this article, we draw together literature on rural masculinities, fatherhood, and mental health to explore how men experiencing mental health problems understand fatherhood. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 24 men who reside in rural southern Manitoba with a focus on mental health and wellness, perceptions of masculinity, support and living well. In this study, it became apparent that fatherhood was a theme that many …
Healing journeys: Indigenous Men's reflections on resources and barriers to mental wellness
The cost of caring: Out-of-pocket expenditures and financial hardship among Canadian carers
Many carers spend money out of their own pockets on the care-related needs of their family members or friends, and this spending may expose carers to a higher risk of financial hardship. Using data from a nationally representative sample of family carers drawn from Statistics Canada’s 2012 General Social Survey on Caregiving and Care Receiving, we find that nearly one in five carers reports experiencing financial hardship. The results from multiv…

Grounded in Culture: Reflections on Sitting Outside the Circle in Community-Based Research With Indigenous Men
Research continues to be a dirty word for many Indigenous people. Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is a means to disrupt power dynamics by engaging community members within the research process. However, the majority of relationships between researcher and participants within CBPR are structured within Western research paradigms and they often reproduce imbalances of power. The purpose of this article is to reflect on the process of …
Are rural Prairie masculinities hegemonic masculinities
Our aim in this article is to provide readers with a critical overview of some of the recent research in psychology, sociology, geography and critical masculinity studies with a focus on rural places and masculinities. We begin our critical review of rural masculinities with a discussion of hegemonic masculinity, a concept well known to theorists of masculinities, before providing an overview of the literature on rural men, which leads into to a …
Elicitation as a Mind-Set: Why Visual Data Matter

By exploring five case studies that used images at varying stages, the authors analyzed these cases exploring how the use of images demonstrates a valuable mind-set of elicitation at every stage of the research process. This article explores how the use of participatory visual methods…
Intervening in masculinity: Work, relationships and violence among the intimate partners of female sex workers in South India
Although health researchers have begun to examine the forms of violence and power dynamics that play out in the intimate relationships of female sex workers (FSWs) in India, this knowledge has tended to focus on the perspectives of women, leaving men’s motivations and attitudes relatively unexamined. This paper examines the contours of masculinity and gender norms from the perspective of the intimate partners of FSWs. Based on six months of ethno…
Exploring Identity: What We Do as Qualitative Researchers
Although there has been much discussion about distinctions between quantitative and qualitative research, our purpose here is not to revive those conversations, but instead to attempt to explore and articulate our identities as researchers who practice in the qualitative tradition. Using autoethnography as our methodology, we as six researchers from various social science disciplines and at various career stages engaged in focused introspection b…
Caring about dying persons and their families: Interpretation, practice and emotional labour
The importance of emotional support for dying persons and their families has been well established, yet we know less about how care workers understand emotional processes related to death and dying, or how these understandings are connected to care practices and emotional labour at the end of life. The aim of this study was to explore how healthcare workers interpret and respond to emotional needs of dying persons and their families. Qualitative …
Living with Parkinson's disease – perceptions of invisibility in a photovoice study
Based on previous community research, we prioritise the need to understand better how experiences and feelings of invisibility could be shaped by relational dynamics, interfacing with service provision, and social forces, with the overarching view of understanding better the experiences of participants living with Parkinson's disease. A photovoice methodology was employed. A discussion of one case study of Bindy and Volta leads to a better unders…
Older men's perceptions of the need for and access to male-focused community programmes such as Men's Sheds
Although participating in community social programming is associated with positive physical and mental health outcomes for older adults, older men participate less often than women. Men's Sheds is a community programme used primarily by older men that originated in Australia and is well established there. The goal of the current study was to explore men's perceptions of the need for Men's Sheds and issues concerning access to them in Canada, a co…
The Emotional Labor of Personal Grief in Palliative Care: Balancing Caring and Professional Identities
The paid provision of care for dying persons and their families blends commodified emotion work and attachments to two often-conflicting role identities: the caring person and the professional. We explore how health care employees interpret personal grief related to patient death, drawing on interviews with 12 health care aides and 13 nurses. Data were analyzed collaboratively using an interpretively embedded thematic coding approach and constant…
The Fringe Value of Visual Data in Research: How Behind Is Academia
Visual data are everywhere. This article explores the ambiguous role of visual data in academia by reflecting on a series of photovoice studies conducted by the author over several years. While academia proposes to have an innovative mandate for exploring what is new, in fact, visual data have not yet been accepted as a viable form of research. Five studies will assist the reader in reflecting on this topic. It is clear that the power of the visu…

The experiences of older male adults throughout their involvement in a community programme for men
Community programmes have been shown to provide social and emotional benefits for older adults. The vast majority of community programmes for older adults are either mixed-sex or female-oriented in their activities and composition. As such, there is a scarcity of both opportunities for, and research focusing on older male adults’ participation in community programmes geared towards men. The present study describes the experiences of older male ad…

Divining for Water: Considerations for Methodology
The authors explore the steps between conceptualizing a qualitative study based on Charmaz's definition of grounded theory and carrying it out in the field. We reflect on how the reality of the vulnerable population to be studied (individuals living with a condition that involves neurological decline) required us to shift our original conceptualization, not only of the research question but of the recruitment and interview process as well. Other …
