  • Feminism and Covid-19

    Open Access•Julia Smith, Clare Wenham•BOOK•Feminism and Covid-19•2026

    How dominant patriarchal structures permeated the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic—and women’s multiple and varied experiences of and resistance to these structures. Feminism and COVID-19 explores different but common themes related to women’s experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Julia Smith and Clare Wenham bring together a unique multicentered, multidisciplinary, and transnational author team, covering nine case studies from Bangladesh…

  • News reporting on travel restrictions between Canada and the US during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open Access•Julia Smith, Julianne Piper et al.•ARTICLE•Social Sciences & Humanities Open•2026

    The worldwide use of different types of travel measures during the COVID-19 pandemic was unprecedented. However, there remains need for fuller understanding of how to apply travel measures for public health benefit, while taking account of their social and economic impacts, particularly on equity-deserving populations. This paper presents an equity analysis of 41 online news articles about travel restrictions (as one type of travel measure) on cr…

  • Trends and inequities in primary and emergency care use among older adults in British Columbia

    Open Access•Anh N Q Pham, Anh NQ Pham et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal for Equity…•2026

    Access to care in Canada has become increasingly unstable, exacerbated by workforce shortages and the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted in-person care and accelerated the shift to virtual modalities. This hugely affects older adults (65+) as a high-need population. Our study addresses gaps in the literature and the trends of health care service utilization by providing a population-level analysis of trends and inequities in primary and emergency…

  • Learning from failure

    Open Access•Julia Smith, Ellie Gooderham et al.•ARTICLE•PLOS Global Public Health•2025

    Serious games, including simulations, are increasingly used in university teaching, including in medical and humanitarian fields, as well as in political science and international relations. There is less evidence of application in global health pedagogy. This article reports and reflects on the use of a simulation of global pandemic treaty negotiations in a Master of Public Health class on Global Health and International Affairs. Through partici…

  • An opportunity for gender transformation? UN Women’s policy response to Covid-19

    Open Access•Asha Herten-Crabb, Alice Mũrage et al.•ARTICLE•Global Public Health•2025

    Pandemics disproportionately affect women due to their dominant roles in healthcare, caregiving, and industries vulnerable to public health policies. Women face higher infection risks, greater unpaid care burdens, and job losses during crises. Violence against women and disrupted access to healthcare, including sexual and reproductive services, also increase. Despite clear evidence of these effects, global pandemic responses have historically bee…

  • They wanted to, but they just couldn’t get there”

    Open Access•Muhammad Haaris Tiwana, Lara Hollmann et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal for Equity…•2025

    The Canadian federal government made concerted efforts to address the needs of a range of priority populations and equity issue areas within its pandemic response, with mixed results. Having a pre-established framework to guide implementation and related relationships overcame some of the urgency challenges related with pandemic response. However, implementation gaps reflected preexisting inequities shaped by broader economic, social and politica…

  • Addressing ableism in healthcare

    Open Access•Ellie Gooderham, Julia Smith et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal for Equity…•2025

    There are limited frameworks for health services researchers to draw on that engage with critical disability theory while considering health services needs of disabled people, despite the quantity of research about disabled people. Research about people with disabilities without inclusion of their perspectives is directly in conflict with the disability rights movement and perpetuates inequity. One mean to include disabled perspectives in researc…

  • Suck it up, keep going’? A critical disabilities analysis with strategic recommendations for supporting the wellbeing among people living with long Covid

    Open Access•Julia Smith, Alice Mũrage et al.•ARTICLE•Critical Public Health•2025

    Long COVID has been described as a ‘mass disabling event’, affecting over 400 million people worldwide. In the context of evolving medical knowledge around this novel condition, there is little research on how the broader determinants of health might interact with symptoms to influence the lived experience of people with Long COVID. This paper contributes a critical disability studies perspective to explore the structural determinants of well-bei…

  • Not Having the Energy to Even Live

    Open Access•Julia Smith, Alice Mũrage et al.•ARTICLE•Health & Social Care in the…•2025•Cited by: 1•References: 5

    Long COVID is defined as the persistence of symptoms three or more months after infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2/COVID‐19). A growing body of research documents the economic and social implications of this relatively new health condition, but, to date, only a handful of studies have considered the effects of Long COVID on caregiving (defined here as the unpaid care work provided in the home or community b…

  • Intersecting inequities

    Open Access•Alexandra Beukens, Julia Smith•ARTICLE•Global Health Action•2024

    BACKGROUND: While there is now extensive research on how COVID-19 lockdowns negatively affected unpaid care burdens and intimate partner violence (IPV), the structural determinants shaping both experiences are less well understood. OBJECTIVES: The review seeks to answer: how did structural determinants of gender inequality shape both the experiences of increased unpaid care burdens and IPV during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown? Which policy propo…

  • Social determinants of mental health among older adolescent girls living in urban informal settlements in Kenya and Nigeria during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open Access•Alice Mũrage, Anne S Wangui Ngunjiri et al.•ARTICLE•Global Public Health•2023

    The health burden due to mental health has historically been underestimated with focus on communicable diseases and deaths and little consideration of disability and comorbidity effects of poor mental health. Recent data show increasing trends of mental health disorders as a share of global health burdens and vulnerability of adolescents. This paper aims to explore social determinants of mental health as experienced by adolescent girls, drawing a…

  • Multifaceted precarity

    Open Access•Alice Mũrage, Julia Smith•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2023

    The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately affected those who face historical and ongoing marginalization. In centering pandemic experience of recent immigrant women in the accommodation and food services sector in Canada, we examine how their precarious work translated to experiences of work precarity and wellbeing. This paper illuminates how pre-existing and ongoing marginalization are reproduced during a health crisis for those at the intersecti…

  • A Social Cure for Covid-19

    Open Access•Selima Sara Kabir, Amal Chowdhury et al.•ARTICLE•Social Sciences•2023•References: 7

    The Bangladesh government issued a lockdown throughout the country from March–May 2020 in response to the COVID-19. The sudden lockdown caused economic ruptures across the country due to job loss. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of the outbreak through 40 in-depth interviews with men and women living in three Dhaka informal settlements from January to November 2021 to identify gaps to mitigate negative downstream effects of global pandemic …

  • Reflections on Making Co-production Work

    Open Access•Joy Fillingham, Julia Smith et al.•ARTICLE•The British Journal of Social Work•2023•References: 1

    This article explores the key areas by which an academic book was co-produced with people from diverse backgrounds and lived experiences (Sealey et al., 2022). Co-production is often now presented as a common-sense shift to delivering public services (Paget, 2014; Durose et al., 2017), with a distinct trend towards co-production in the UK in recent decades (Pieroudis et al., 2019). The book referred to was explicitly written with co-production at…

  • I Felt like I Was Losing Every Day

    Julia Smith•ARTICLE•Labour / Le Travail•2023

    The covid-19 pandemic severely disrupted the education system in Canada from March 2020 throughout the 2020-21 school year. It also had disproportionate secondary effects on women in terms of unpaid care, economic loss, and poor mental health. This article explores the lived experience of women educators in the province of Alberta, drawing on interviews and focus groups with 39 educators. Findings indicate that the pandemic not only exacerbated t…

  • The gendered dimensions of the anti-mask and anti-lockdown movement on social media

    Open Access•A Al-Rawi, M Shameem Siddiqi et al.•ARTICLE•Humanities and Social Sciences…•2022

    This paper examines the anti-mask and anti-lockdown online movement in connection to the COVID-19 pandemic. To combat the spread of the coronavirus, health officials around the world urged and/or mandated citizens to wear facemasks and adopt physical distancing measures. These health policies and guidelines have become highly politicized in some parts of the world, often discussed in association with freedom of choice and independence. We downloa…

    The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent policy responses continue to have widespread social and economic effects across the globe. These effects are not experienced equally. Taking Lagos as a case study, we explored gendered and differential effects of COVID-19 and subsequent policy responses on paid and unpaid work. Using an intersectionality framework and qualitative methodology, we analyze how social divisions interacted, contributing to individu…

    Open Access•Connie Cai Ru Gan, Shuo Feng et al.•ARTICLE•BMJ Global Health•2022

    Social media can be both a source of information and misinformation during health emergencies. During the COVID-19 pandemic, social media became a ubiquitous tool for people to communicate and represents a rich source of data researchers can use to analyse users’ experiences, knowledge and sentiments. Research on social media posts during COVID-19 has identified, to date, the perpetuity of traditional gendered norms and experiences. Yet these stu…

  • A gendered content analysis of the World Health Organization’s Covid-19 guidance and policies

    Open Access•Emily Tomsick, Julia Smith et al.•ARTICLE•PLOS Global Public Health•2022

    As with previous global public health emergencies, the COVID-19 pandemic has had distinct and disproportionate impacts on women and their health and livelihoods. As the leader in global public health, it is incumbent upon the World Health Organization (WHO) to ensure gender is prioritized in pandemic response. We conducted a policy analysis of 338 WHO COVID-19 documents and found that only 20% explicitly discuss gender and over half do not mentio…

    For 30 years political scientists largely ignored high school education in civics and government. There are two explanations for this neglect. First, the prevailing view was that students learned nothing from civics courses (Langton and Jennings 1968). Second, social scientists increasingly saw themselves as members of scientific disciplines, so whatever interest they had in precollege education was devoted to augmenting disciplinary knowledge (H…

    Malawi, the world's most tobacco dependent country, has long defended the tobacco industry as essential to its economy. The impoverished living conditions of tobacco farmers, however, raise questions about the true benefits accruing to the country. While the government and industry often blame public health advocates for declining leaf prices, and thus lower returns to farmers, this article scrutinises these claims from a historical perspective. …

    Coffee with the right traits can command impressive prices in the specialty coffee market. While much of the attention to terroir-the taste of place-in coffee has focused on region, the details of place matter too. For farmers, paying attention to the details of coffee landscapes is important to create the distinctive flavors prized in these markets. This article explores how farmers in the Tarrazú coffee region of Costa Rica use systems of trace…

    Recognition of the differential effects of COVID-19 on women has led to calls for greater application of gender-based analysis within policy responses. Beyond pointing out where such policies are implemented, there is little analysis of the effects of efforts to integrate gender-based analysis into the COVID-19 response. Drawing on interviews informing a lived experienced approach to policy analysis, this article asks if, how, and to what effect …

    Sustainable Development Goal Three is rightly ambitious, but achieving it will require doing global health differently. Among other things, progressive civil society organisations will need to be recognised and supported as vital partners in achieving the necessary transformations. We argue, using illustrative examples, that a robust civil society can fulfill eight essential global health functions. These include producing compelling moral argume…

    This paper examines union grievances dealing with the body, appearance and demeanour fought by the Canadian Air Line Flight Attendants Association, on behalf of its female and male members over a 30‐year period. Taking a historical, materialist‐feminist approach, we examine how workers used the grievance system to resist regulations they believed contradicted their right to dignified labour. We ask how and why bodily regulation differed for men a…

    This article uses a case study of a highly publicized 1970 controversy over Canadian Pacific Air Lines’ flight attendant uniforms—specifically, a switch from mini to midi skirt—as a case study in business-labor relations concerning the regulation of women workers’ bodily appearance. Using company and union records and employing a historical, materialist, and feminist analysis, we trace how notions of aesthetic and emotional labor changed over tim…

    This article examines the efforts of feminist unions to organize childcare workers in 1970s Vancouver, British Columbia, and highlights the entrenched opposition to union organizing by women considered to be “just babysitters.” These workers’ efforts challenged the “love-versus-money” divide that hampered women’s organizing efforts in the care sector. Vancouver childcare workers, working in alliance with parents, insisted on the public importance…

    Julia Smith•ARTICLE•Monthly Review•2017

    Ahmed White's vivid and deeply researched account of the Little Steel strike of 1937 makes an important contribution to our understanding of U.S. labor history, union organizing, and class conflict. It illustrates the tactical complexity of strikes, reveals the power and ruthlessness of employers, and demonstrates the risks of relying on the state to secure justice for working people.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Mon…
