Using black knowledges to recognise and address barriers to Covid-19 vaccination in Malawi
A Black Geographies framework offers a perspective through which the rich and complex histories and knowledges of African nations, and the people themselves, can be explored to reveal barriers to vaccination and solutions to achieving global vaccine access and equity. This research centres Malawi as a case study and seeks to (1) identify barriers to COVID-19 vaccination; (2) situate these barriers within geographic scales, ranging from the local …
Environmental Health Attitudes, Practices, and Educational Preferences
Prenatal exposures to environmental toxicants can adversely affect fetal and child development and lead to increased risk of chronic disease. While regulatory action is essential to reduce sources of environmental toxicants, prenatal care presents an opportunity to educate, mobilize, and support prospective parents to reduce exposures to such hazards. As the first phase of an interdisciplinary research collaboration to inform the development of p…
‘It doesn’t happen any other way’
Intersectoral processes that bring together public institutions, civil society organizations and affected community members are essential to tackling complex health equity challenges. While conventional wisdom points to the importance of human relationships in fostering collaboration, there is a lack of practical guidance on how to do intersectoral work in ways that support authentic relationship-building and mitigate power differentials among pe…
Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on perceived access and quality of care in German people with parkinsonism
Due to the heterogeneous clinical presentation, people with Parkinsonism (PwP) develop individual healthcare needs as their disease progresses. However, because of limited health resources during the COVID-19 pandemic, many patients were put at risk of inadequate care. All this occurred in the context of inequitable healthcare provision within societies, especially for such vulnerable populations. This study aimed to investigate factors influenci…
Career aspirations and trajectories of geographies of health and health care graduates
Despite the diverse academic training of health geographers and their capacity to think spatially and temporally when focusing on complexities of people's health in changing environments, career‐related concerns have been raised due to the dearth of academic jobs in the sub‐discipline. Given these concerns, an understanding of the career aspirations and trajectories of health geography graduates, as well as their experiences within and outside ac…
Methods-in-Place
A collaborative research project with Noojmowin Teg Health Centre on Manitoulin Island, Ontario, examined the impacts of traditional medicine workshops on participants' perceptions of culture, health, and environment. Methods used in this research turned out to be as revealing as the results themselves. This article examines how geography and the social, physical, and affective elements of place inform research methodology and challenges the idea…
Examining inequities in children’s environmental health
Young children are more highly exposed and vulnerable to environmental health hazards than adults due to a variety of physiological and behavioural factors. Despite the significant responsibility mothers typically bear in managing their children’s health, little is known about how they perceive and negotiate these risks in their day-to-day lives. To better understand mothers’ environmental health risk perceptions and associated protective actions…
Perceptions and experiences of environmental health risks among new mothers
There is a growing awareness and concern in contemporary societies about potential health impacts of environmental contaminants on children. Mothers are traditionally more involved than other family members in managing family health and household decisions and thus targeted by public health campaigns to minimise risks. However little is known about how new mothers perceive and experience environmental health risks to their children. In 2010, we u…
