Building a Regional Community-Based Participatory Research Model for Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias for Rural Communities
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) offers effective, flexible approaches well suited to conduct health research with underrepresented populations that can be tailored to unique social, cultural, and geographic contexts. For these reasons, CBPR offers the potential to address rural underrepresentation in dementia research. However, the diversity of rural America requires multi-scalar approaches to research that account for regional char…

Gateways, inland seas, or boundary waters? Historical conceptions of the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River since the 19th century
Key Messages Since the late 19th century, historians, geographers, and other scholars have conceived of the St. Lawrence River as a gateway that provided the basis for an east‐west transcontinental nation. Although the Great Lakes initially were incorporated into the national histories of the United States and Canada, increasingly they came to represent boundary waters that transcended political borders. Environmental issues encouraged a few writ…

This book originates from our realization several years ago that the fast-growing fields of environmental history and mobility studies had much in common, yet were not in close communication.We observed that a number of scholars in Canada, at various stages of their careers and employing perspectives gained from anthropology, geography, technology studies, and other fields, were examining the relationship between mobility and the environment in t…
Justice et injustices environnementales
Les crises écologiques, les politiques pour les contrer, la croissance des inégalités résultant de la mondialisation et des politiques libérales ont revitalisé la notion de justice environnementale. Cette notion veut comprendre les interrelations entre les inégalités sociales et l'environnement : quel environnement, où, et pour qui ? Des chercheurs se sont emparé de ce concept d'origine nord-américaine, alors peu connu dans le champ académique fr…

Forging Industrial Policy
Taking the Bitter with the Sweet
IN OCTOBER 1920 the Board of Commerce tried to prop up rapidly falling sugar prices. This decision appeared as a perversion of the agency's mandate to fight the rising cost of living and engulfed the already unpopular board in a controversy it would not survive. The commerce commissioners chose to protect the wrong industry at the v•mng time: the 'sugar barons' traditionally were suspected of price collusion and other Canadian businesses were str…

The centrepiece of the Canadian government's regulatory strategy from 1904 onwards, the Board of Railway Commissioners is also central to Cruikshank's study. He describes the origins of this independent regulatory agency -- the forerunner of the National Transportation Agency -- and examines its efforts to resolve complex freight disputes. Cruikshank shows how freight rate controversies generated a variety of regulatory initiatives: governments a…
