Enacting Utopia
Land is essential to actually built utopias. Literature regarding built utopias pays next to no attention to the land under them or how it was obtained. Currently Canada's national conversation increasingly pivots around colonization by Europeans and the still unresolved takeover of lands of long-resident Indigenous peoples. The article's objective is to explore a present-centered approach to studying built utopias for its potential to explain ho…

Environmental factors affecting the occupations of children with physical disabilities
Children with physical disabilities encounter environmental constraints that limit their participation in daily occupations. The purpose of this qualitative research study was to work together with parents to discover environmental situations which presented substantial challenges to their children. The study took place in a city of 92,000 people in southern Ontario, Canada. Twenty‐two families who had a child with a disability between the ages o…

Based on a study of women's work in the Canadian community of Kitchener‐Waterloo over a century, this paper identifies community work as conceptually separate from domestic and traded work. Using case examples from the study, the paper analyses three propositions associated with public/private sphere models, drawing upon the theoretical work of Carole Pateman and others. The paper proposes a new conceptual framework for understanding the relation…

Constructing and Deconstructing Plausibility
Deconstruction is a useful method for studying how planners construct plans that are plausible to the profession and the community. This paper is an attempt to illustrate the theoretical ground of deconstruction, its relationship to other critical methods, and how it works. Reading in deconstructive fashion is compared with reading literally, and a deconstructionist analysis of part of a planning practitioners' report is offered. In it the notion…
