Increasing Care Partners’ Capacity for Supporting Individuals Living with Dementia Through Bravo Zulu: Achieving Excellence in Relationship-Centered Dementia Care
The need for person- and relationship-centered care (PCC/RCC) in Alzheimer's disease and other dementias is well established. Recognizing the limitations of PCC in fully honoring the intricate interdependencies between care partners and persons living with dementia, a new training program called Bravo Zulu was developed. This comprehensive, 12-hour dementia training program aims to enhance personhood beliefs and self-efficacy among care partners,…
Race-Specific Impact of Telehealth Advance Care Planning on Cost of Dementia: A Cost Prediction Study
Identifying strategies to enhance patient engagement and to control healthcare costs promotes a responsive and efficient healthcare system. The aim of this study is to predict healthcare cost savings associated with delivering telehealth advance care planning (ACP) to patients living with dementia. Two Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Programs delivered training to primary care providers on using telehealth to provide ACP. Using electronic health…
Personhood Beliefs in Dementia Care: Influences of Race, Socioeconomic Factors, and Social Vulnerability
Beliefs about personhood held by healthcare professionals and care partners influence care outcomes, satisfaction, and the well-being of persons living with dementia (PLWD). This study examined differences in personhood beliefs based on demographic and contextual factors, including the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI), using registration data from the Bravo Zulu care partner training program ( n = 540). Guided by the Ring Theory of Personhood, ei…
Language tells another story: When tobacco is cistemaw and the Cree are nêhiyaw
Indigenous peoples’ trade in so-called ‘contraband’ tobacco, as a spate of recent cases in Alberta has shown, causes conflict between Indigenous peoples’ culture, history and sovereignty and federal and provincial laws. And as long as tobacco is defined solely as ‘tobacco’, the illegal trade will remain a criminal matter. But if we ask how First Peoples have named the plant and how such naming connects the plant to their lives and identities, tod…
Impact of Advance Care Planning on the Hospitalization-Associated Utilization and Cost of Patients with Alzheimer’s Disease-Related Disorders Receiving Primary Care via Telehealth in a Provider Shorta…
Telehealth has been adopted as an alternative to in-person primary care visits. With multiple participants able to join remotely, telehealth can facilitate the discussion and documentation of advance care planning (ACP) for those with Alzheimer's disease-related disorders (ADRDs). We measured hospitalization-associated utilization outcomes, instances of hospitalization and 90-day re-hospitalizations from payors' administrative databases and verif…

Re-thinking a Bachelor of Arts for the 21st-Century precariat’
The emergence of the neo-liberal university, rapid changes to the world of work and the unravelling of the Western social contract in an era of fake news and pandemic have created a set of circumstances that define emerging university graduates as members of a global precariat. Several projections of the future world of work suggest a need to shift the imperatives of a university education away from career preparation and disciplinary training an…
Are Clinicians Contributing to Excess African American Covid-19 Deaths? Unbeknownst to Them, They May Be
African Americans are overrepresented among reported coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases and deaths. There are a multitude of factors that may explain the African American disparity in COVID-19 outcomes, including higher rates of comorbidities. While individual-level factors predictably contribute to disparate COVID-19 outcomes, systematic and structural factors have not yet been reported. It stands to reason that implicit biases may fuel t…
Decolonisation and Reconciliation in the Australian Anthropocene
Current scholarship posits that Australia’s entry into the Anthropocene began not with the continent’s British invasion and colonisation but instead when coal was adopted as the colony’s primary source of energy. Recent developments in Anthropocenic studies, however, suggest that the prevailing wisdom needs to change. Firstly, the environmental impact exerted by Indigenous Australians now fits within broader notions of the Anthropocene and so nee…
Algae and oxygen, humans and carbon: A Precambrian analogue for the Anthropocene
In 2003 Paul Crutzen and Will Steffen asserted that across Earth's 4.5-billion-year history no analogue could be found for the Anthropocene. An analogue can, however, be located in the dim Precambrian past when, through oxygenic photosynthesis, cyanobacteria produced enough oxygen to alter the composition and character of the Earth System. The 'Great Oxygenation Event' that followed wiped out much of Earth's anaerobic life while giving rise to al…
The Second Seminole War and the Limits of American Aggression
Historians who have written about the Second Seminole War (1835–1842) agree that it shaped Jacksonian America and that our discipline has ignored its importance. C. S. Monaco addresses those points in an elegant recounting of the war, its context, and its effect. The story gains a sharp interpretive edge from Monaco's use of settler-colonialism theory and models well what could become an important cross-fertilization between the provocations of i…

Great Crossings: Indians, Settlers, and Slaves in the Age of Jackson
Christina Snyder's first book, Slavery in Indian Country (2010), expanded our understanding of the history of captivity and enslavement in America by drawing first peoples' experiences into the center of the story. Great Crossings further extends such insights to the practices of race making that gave such brute force to the expression of Jacksonian America. How racism shifted from the environmentalist underpinnings of the eighteenth century to t…
Transcending the Tragedy Discourse of Dementia: An Ethical Imperative for Promoting Selfhood, Meaningful Relationships, and Well-Being
Supporting people living with dementia in maintaining selfhood, relationships, and well-being requires seeing beyond the common negative focus on disability. Furthermore, prioritizing the person rather than the disease requires rejecting the tragedy discourse, which is the negative lens through which dementia is typically considered. In this paper, we highlight qualitative research on dementia involving people living with dementia as active parti…

Brébeuf Was Never Martyred: Reimagining the Life and Death of Canada's First Saint
Jean de Brébeuf was a Jesuit missionary who established residence in what is conventionally called the Huron Nation but was actually the island of Wendake where the Wendat people lived. The Catholic Church celebrates his death on 16 March 1649 as an act of martyrdom, and for the past three-and-a-half centuries, secular historians have more or less agreed. Even today, one can find scholars who describe his battle on behalf of “God” against “infide…
Rivers of Sand: Creek Indian Emigration, Relocation, and Ethnic Cleansing in the American South
Most histories of the Native American South tend to begin or to end with the rupture we know as “Indian removal.” But what if an author twined the before and the after into a story of continuity? Christopher D. Haveman's Rivers of Sand explores how American citizens used various levers to pry the Creek nation out of its ancestral homeland in Georgia and Alabama. The result, Haveman argues in the book's most important conclusion, was the ethnic cl…
Colonial and Early National Foundations
The American historians who wrote during the seventeenth, eighteenth, and early nineteenth centuries carried over many of the narratives, tropes, and arguments that had characterized the first histories of exploration and discovery. As the United States emerged, however, their works turned away from colonial concerns about claiming land and asserting sovereignty to staking out the New Republic’s mission and mandate. By the time of the Civil War h…

Sophie White. Wild Frenchmen and Frenchified Indians: Material Culture and Race in Colonial Louisiana
One of the more unprecedented events I have found in colonial history comes from the pages of a carpenter's journal. In 1699, while building Fort Maurepas on today's Mississippi coast, André Pénicaut remarked that a party of soldiers who were out felling trees saw some people approaching, waved them over, tried to convince them no harm would come to them, and then spoke to the visitors in an Iroquoian tongue. Why were French colonizers able to sp…

Just dance with me: An authentic partnership approach to understanding leisure in the dementia context
Most research on marginalised groups, including those living with illness or disability, continues to exclude those experiencing illness or disability from decision making in the research endeavour.

In this paper, we provide a detailed account of one collabo…

This stimulating collection of essays casts new light on the remarkable accomplishments of Cahokia. Timothy R. Pauk…

A Family Model of Care: Creating Life Enriching Environments in Nursing Homes
Concern for the deleterious effect of nursing homes on older adults' quality of life has resulted in a grassroots movement calling for a shift from the traditional medical model of care to that of a social model, thereby creating life enriching environments which foster meaningful relationships and activity engagement among residents, staff, and family members (Eaton, 1997; 2000; Kane, Kane, & Ladd, 1998; Pioneer Network, 2004).

In contrast to the historiographical convention stating that the English justified their claim to North America by right of conquest, Banner distinguished …

American Historians and Indians
United States's historians are almost alone in the scholarly world in using the term ‘Indian’ to describe the original inhabitants of the landmass that came to be called the Americas. The term is an artefact of Christopher Columbus's imagination, and it conditions American historiography in ways that reflect the particular logic of the first contact that Columbus initiated. This review draws upon several recent books in native history, as well as…
