Cultural Safety in Service Provision for Migrant Agricultural Workers? An Empirical Exploration
Activists and scholars have long highlighted the precarity of migrant agricultural workers (MAWs) in Canada and the unique threat it poses to this group’s health and wellbeing. In response, the Canadian government recently launched a series of targeted programming and services for this population. However, little research has explored the effectiveness of these initiatives within the broader support landscape. Our qualitative narrative research i…
Migrant Agricultural Workers’ Experiences of Support in Three Migrant‐Intensive Communities in Canada
Canada has intensified its reliance on temporary foreign workers, including migrant agricultural workers (MAWs) who have contributed to its agriculture sector, rural economies, and food security for decades. These workers live and work in rural communities across Canada for up to two years. Thousands of MAWs engage in recurring cyclical migration, often returning to the same rural communities in Canada for decades, while others are undocumented. …

The production of fruit, vegetables, and other horticultural crops in Canada relies upon the embodied labour of migrant agricultural workers who plant, prune, and harvest these crops. Using a feminist geopolitical lens, I foreground the bodies of these workers as these bodies are situated at the intersection of everyday lived experiences and systems of capitalist production through, in this case, Canada’s Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAW…
Local gastronomy, transnational labour
Each year, migrant workers from Mexico and the Caribbean travel to Canada via a bilateral agreements to provide labour essential to the agricultural sector. One destination for these workers is Niagara-on-the-Lake (NOTL), a microclimate in which labour intensive crops such as tender fruits and grapes are grown. These local crops form the basis of a significant gastrotourism industry. This industry turns on the narrative of an historical idyll in …
Reproductive mobilities
This special issue brings reproduction into a critical mobilities framework. We extend scholarship in cross-border reproductive care and medical mobilities into new theoretical and empirical directions. Reproductive mobilities articulates the mutual constitution of reproduction and mobilities. Human (and nonhuman) movement not only shapes reproduction but produces reproductive imaginaries, desires, futures, trajectories, as well as the subjectivi…
Mobilizing mobilities
A so-called birth tourist travels to a country with birthright citizenship to give birth so that her child will be a citizen of that country. In Canada, hostility towards birth tourism has simmered since 2012. Situating this hostility within a history of Sinophobia, I analyze birth tourism websites, arguing that those who can access Canadian citizenship via birth tourism already possess network capital, a position that is not enabled but enhanced…
Surrogates as risk or surrogates at risk? The contradictory constitution of surrogates’ bodies in transnational surrogacy
Transnational surrogacy
This Is Not Your Practice Life
Cet article s'intéresse à l’énorme réussite de lululemon athletica, et en particulier à la façon dont ses stratégies de marque s'approprient la pratique du yoga pour les intégrer à un modèle consumériste de discipline et de soin de soi. On arguera que la stratégie de marque de lululemon est liée à l'hyperindividualisme néolibéral ainsi qu'aux discours plus généraux de développement personnel qui définissent le bien‐être comme un accomplissement p…
Encountering Beggars
Independent Travel
Independent travel is constructed by its adherents as a more benign form of travel than mass tourism. Yet this alternative form of travel remains implicated in colonial legacies through its adherence to the liberal project of self-development. Through voluntarily undertaking hardship and narrating their experiences to other travelers and broader audiences, independent travelers depend upon the very same structural inequalities they seek to overco…
Defining 'real India
As an alternative to the stereotypical mass tourism, independent travellers – travellers who travel for extended periods on low budgets while ostensibly avoiding formalized tourist activities and locales – are invested in constructing ‘authentic’ travel experiences. Practices such as ‘off-the-beaten-track’ travel and cultural engagement provide the means by which independent travellers are able to make claims to such authenticity. Authenticity is…
Violence in independent travel to India
While western women travelers to India are frequently sexually harassed by Indian men, such men are sometimes subjected to retaliatory violence. Through analyses of the sexual harassment of women travelers and the violent acts committed against Indian men by western travelers, I draw connections between the ways in which individual travelers make sense of sexual harassment and the broader discourses of patriarchy and (neo-)colonialism. Moving bey…
Memory and the impossibility of whiteness in colonial Canada
Temporary Transience and Qualitative Research
Fieldwork with independent travelers and seasonal workers raises specific methodological considerations that result from the temporary transience of both communities. In this paper the authors bring together their experiences of the ways in which this transience both enabled and challenged various aspects of data collection, including integrating themselves into the participant network, locating participants and arranging interviews, adhering to …
