Introduction to the special issue queer frontiers; imagining new intellectual queer futures
This introduction to the Sexualities Special Issue Queer Frontiers: Imagining New Intellectual Queer Futures contextualises queer studies in the present moment. We discuss the current social and political context of the edition, noting the rise of the far right, queerphobia, transphobia and other discriminatory practices. In doing so, we highlight how the authors contributing to this special edition help progress and develop queer studies to equi…
Why urban communities in low- and middle-income countries participate in global health research: A scoping review and fuzzy cognitive mapping summary
BACKGROUND: Although community participation is a key strategy for decolonizing global health research, there are significant difficulties in the meaningful engagement of urban communities in low- and middle-income countries. Addressing barriers and leveraging enablers before beginning research could facilitate more equitable collaborations. To guide researchers in this endeavour, this scoping review mapped available evidence and identified facto…
Municipal-Indigenous Collaboration in Canadian Climate Action Plans
As climate policy develops a stronger focus on resilience, governments must ensure that communities facing oppression are not left vulnerable. Working with Indigenous Nations in ways that uphold their self-determination is key to climate action. This study examines the extent to which Canadian municipalities with populations over twenty-thousand people consider Indigenous rights in climate planning, based on a document analysis of their climate p…
Toward a cinema of multiplicity: Alice Diop's La Permanence (2016)
This article focuses on the documentaries of Alice Diop, foregrounding La Permanence/On Call (2016), which was filmed in a medical center for refugees and migrants in the banlieues of Paris. Positioning the film in relation to Diop's wider oeuvre, the article considers her approach to those she films, which she speaks of in interview in terms of an ethics attached to a duty of care, respect, and full awareness of the power of the camera, and whic…
Empathy, sympathy, compassion… but don’t forget ‘tenderness’
Dear EditorTeaching about empathy focuses upon practical communication, for example word choice, body language and active listening. Elsewhere, much ink has been spilled over the optimum term for t
Tracing womyn-born-womyn & trans-exclusion: Into the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival archive
Few events evoke a divisive response amongst lesbians like the mentioning of the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival. Autoethnographies, interviews, podcasts, and books - just to name a few - continue to be crafted even after the forty-year festival's end. Unlike previous publications, this article approaches the festival using archival materials housed at Michigan State University donated by producer, Lisa Vogel, to unpack the signaling rhetoric of …
Becoming landlords: The changing interests of non-profit and co-operative housing providers in Manitoba, Canada
Social housing is intended to focus on the provision of shelter, rather than accumulation and speculation, in order to meet the housing needs of households that cannot access housing through the market (Davis, 1994 Davis, J. E. (1994) Beyond the Market and the State: The Diverse Domain of Social Housing, in: J. E. Davis (Ed) The Affordable City: Toward a Third Sector Housing Policy, pp. 75–106 (Philadelphia: Temple University Press). [Google Scho…
Green fingers: Jean Genet’s hands and flowers
Recent studies of hands in cinema history, including the scholarship of Emmanuelle Andr e and Barry Monahan, have emphasized the importance of hands in understanding human ways of seeing and being.Where Andr e explores the relationship between the hand and the eye to argue persuasively that hands reconfigure human ways of looking, Monahan's attention to hands generates stimulating insights into human sentience, creativity, socialization and accul…

Conformity to Masculinity Norms and Mental Health Outcomes Among Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Two-Spirit, and Queer Men and Non-Binary Individuals
Homophobia and biphobia negatively impact the mental health of gay, bisexual, trans, Two-Spirit, and queer men and non-binary individuals (GBT2Q) and sexual and gender minority men, but little is known about the impact of gender-related oppression. The current study examines the impact of pressure to conform to masculine norms in Canada-based GBT2Q individuals. Specifically, the associations between (a) gender expression and pressure to be mascul…

Paper Flowers: Jane Campion, Plant Life, and The Power of the Dog (2021)
Taking as its point of departure the place of the vegetal realm within Jane Campion’s filmmaking, this article attends to both living and artificial plants, homing in on the exquisitely crafted paper flowers of The Power of the Dog to explore their entanglement with human power relations. Manmade flowers are clearly distinct from the flowers of the garden or the prairie, but in this Western, they form part of a broader floral aesthetic with their…
Change in childbearing intention, use of contraception, unwanted pregnancies, and related adverse events during the Covid-19 pandemic: Results from a panel study in rural Burkina Faso
Evidence on how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected women’s reproductive health remains scarce, particularly for low- and middle-income countries. Deleterious indirect effects seem likely, particularly on access to contraception and risk of unwanted pregnancies, but rigorous evaluations using quasi-experimental designs are lacking. Taking a diachronic perspective, we aimed to investigate the effects of the pandemic on four indicators of women’s re…

Nature provides valuable sanitation services
Much previous research shows that safe disposal of human waste has a positive impact on human wellbeing, while preventing the degradation of ecosystems. However, to date, the role that ecosystems themselves play in treating human waste has been largely neglected. We conceptualize the role nature plays in treating human waste—acting as a pipeline and/or treatment plant. We estimate that nature is treating ~41.7 million tons of human waste per year…
Adult New Speakers of Welsh: Accent, Pronunciation and Language Experience in South Wales

New Takes on Film and Imagination
Perceptual-Imaginative Space and the Beautiful Ecologies of Rose Lowder's Bouquets
Experimental filmmaker Rose Lowder is an intricate explorer of perception. Many of her exquisite silent short films feature flowers that are scrutinized frame by frame in shots that appear to have layers, as well as volume, and to quiver between simultaneity and succession. Yet these perceptual palimpsests that present almost too much for the eye to take in also reveal an as yet unexplored relation to imagination. Informed by ecological principle…

Diagnosing uncertainty, producing neonatal abstinence syndrome
The use of alcohol and other drugs during pregnancy is understood to be an important public health problem. One way in which this problem is expressed and responded to is via the identification and treatment of neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). In this article, we demonstrate how the processes of anticipating, identifying and responding to NAS are characterised by significant uncertainty among parents and health and social care practitioners.

Interview: Transcript of Brian Mitchell's Testimony
My initial impression of Brian Mitchell early in 1999 was of a defended individual presenting a somewhat rigid picture of what transpired when he gave the fateful command to attack the household in Trust Feeds in the Kwazulu/Natal midlands. His report tended to avoid some of the emotional consequences of his actions. He accepted responsibilityand was accurate in his depictions, but the timbres and nuances which psychologists are wont to grapple w…

Breillat’s Time
This article considers an embodied relation to the lived time of personal history in Catherine Breillat’s films, and thereby seeks to move beyond the impersonal aspects of the Deleuzian time‐image. The author draws first of all on Julia Kristeva’s work, particularly her provocative interest in “women’s time”, to argue that Breillat fleshes out a gendered temporality that is bound up with her unique explorations of the female body and sexual desir…
Film Theory in France
Ever since the Lumie `re brothers screened their first film in 1895 at the Grand Cafe on the Boulevard des Capucines in Paris, the fascinated response that this shadow world elicited pivoted on questions of understanding exactly what the new phenomenon was that the viewers were seeing and experiencing. The initial captivating potential of cinema inspired the speculative concerns of the very texts that were to form the body of early film theory in…

Meshes of muteness: Maya Deren’s languages
Born Eleanora Derenkowsky in Kiev, Ukraine in 1917, the young girl who was later to rename herself Maya Deren emigrated to Syracuse, New York with her parents in 1922. As a schoolgirl and throughout her university years Deren was an aspiring poet, but she declared retrospectively that she was not a very good one because her mind worked in images, which she had been trying in vain to describe in verbal terms. When she began making films, she expla…

Back to the roots of Arpanet and Internet history with Alexandre Serres
Alexandre Serres’ PhD, “Aux sources d’Internet: l’émergence d’ARPANET” (“The origins of the Internet: the Emergence of ARPANET”), defended in 2000, is quite influential in Francophone research literature and discourse on Internet histories. However, yet untranslated, it has remained little known in Anglophone scholarly circles. The results of this thesis, which strongly echoes other articles and interviews, that are part of this special issue on …
