Semi-structured interviews were conducted with individuals (n = 59) in April-May 2022. Thematic analysis revealed loss of income and strict mob…
A Narrowing Place: Responsive Spirituality
Among the many distinct experiences of cancer is the experience of the parent who watches their child become pale and drained of energy in the weeks preceding diagnosis. The journey from there to the oncology ward is one that can be adequately described as increasingly claustrophobic. It is all one-way traffic from flourishing life to the abyss. Perhaps being a parent makes one even more prone to the universal human tendency to find fault with on…

Self and Dignity: The Spirituality of Survival
This paper examines the nature of spirit and spirituality as organic response to threat in the context of a global pandemic. Drawing from the fields of neuroscience, philosophy and theology, the author defines spirit as the biological capacity of a living organism to maintain homeostasis in response to changes in its environment. The capacity of individual human organisms to respond to changes that are perceived as threats to homeostasis with pas…
Food Environment Research in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Systematic Scoping Review
Food environment research is increasingly gaining prominence in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, in the absence of a systematic review of the literature, little is known about the emerging body of evidence from these settings. This systematic scoping review aims to address this gap. A systematic search of 6 databases was conducted in December 2017 and retrieved 920 records. In total, 70 peer-reviewed articles met the eligibility…
Concepts and critical perspectives for food environment research: A global framework with implications for action in low- and middle-income countries
Malnutrition in all its forms currently affects one in three people globally and is considered one of the greatest public health challenges of our time. Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are increasingly facing a double burden of malnutrition that includes undernutrition, as well as increasing overweight, obesity and diet related non-communicable diseases. The role of food environments in shaping transitioning diets and the double burden o…
Numinous Physiology: A Theological Reflection on Angels, Trauma and Spirituality
In conversation with trauma specialist Bessel van der Kolk, this paper poses three questions for a theology of spiritual care. What does current thinking in trauma studies say about trauma and the human person? What does current thinking about trauma mean for the way we understand spirit and spirituality? What does this mean for the way spiritual care practitioners offer spiritual care to people living with trauma-related disorders? Taking seriou…

Under Adorno's Spell: Bann as Fundamental Concept Rather Than Mere Metaphor
This article explores Theodor W. Adorno's "central concept" of the Bann, generally translated as "spell" and understood as a suggestive, if vague, metaphor. Through etymological analysis and investigation into Adorno's use of it in several key texts, especially Negative Dialectics, an essential polysemy is revealed as necessary to an understanding of this most elusive of Adornian expressions. Explication of this polysemy establishes its relevancy…
Overlapping claims” to territory confronting treaty‐making in British Columbia: Causes and implications
Key Messages Overlapping Aboriginal claims to territory often result from variously constituted indigenous political identities and the diverse spatialities they enact. Settling treaties in contested areas can privilege Aboriginal groups that settle treaties first, to the detriment of groups with overlapping claims. Ordinary courts have struggled to find a remedy; an Indigenous Territories Commission is suggested for addressing such disputes
The Return of Stolen Praxis: Counter-Finality in Sartre's Critique of Dialectical Reason
What is counter-finality? Who, or what, is the agent of counter-finality? In the Critique of Dialectical Reason, Sartre employs a complicated and multivalent notion of counter-finality, the reversal of the finality intended by an agent in different contexts and at different levels of complexity. Sartre's concept of counter-finality is read here as an attempt to rethink and broaden the traditional Marxist notion of commodity fetishism as a tragic …
