The purpose of this study is to explore the experiences of socio-ecological stressors impacting 2S/LGBTQ+ individuals in the Waterloo Region in Ontario, Canada in the new wave of anti-queer rhetoric. Data was collected from semi-structured interviews with 2S/LGBTQ+ community members (N = 30) in the Waterloo Region. Braun & Clarke’s six-step process of thematic analysis was employed.

Canadian Grade Racism, (Eh!) - Cultivating the Resources and Supports to Address the Hidden Problem of Systemic Racism in Canadian Universities
In the emerging literature on understanding racialized university members’ experience in the post-secondary space, there has been a focus on breaking down the components that make a university environment safer for racialized students, staff, and faculty. Among racialized students, studies have found that students’ experiences at school have significant impacts on student’s mental health and overall-being (Chu et al., 2022). The current work aims…
“Angry, Mad, Sick and Tired” Black Women in the Academy
This paper captures honest and courageous intergenerational dialogue between three Black women - 2 students, and 1 faculty member – who reflect on their experiences in the Canadian academy. In this, the authors reflect on issues such as imposter syndrome, Black humanity, anti-Black sexism, EDI initiatives, and the impact of all of these dynamics in our places of learning and work on our overall health and wellbeing. Towards this end, we also refl…
Proclaiming Our Roots
Proclaiming Our Roots (POR) began as an academic community-based research initiative documenting Afro-Indigenous identities and lived experiences through digital oral storytelling. Since its inception, Proclaiming Our Roots has grown into a grassroots social movement focused on self-determination, cultural reclamation, and resistance to colonial erasure. This paper explores Proclaiming Our Root's evolution, from a research project to a grassroots…
Imperial algorithms
In this special issue, we invited contributions that critically examined issues of imperialism, colonialism, power, justice, etc. to expand the canon of anticolonial scholarship and critical scholarship in community psychology. Our two objectives were: (1) to build on the canon of anticolonial and critical race scholarship to cultivate an empirical and theoretical body of work and conceptual frameworks about racism and colonialism within the fiel…
We are mothers, sisters, and lovers too”
In Canada, there is a lack of research that addresses the sexual health and well‐being of African, Caribbean, and Black young women. This paper aims to gather perspectives of young Black women to address the social contexts of how young Black women navigate issues related to sex and sexual health. Young Black women experience unique dynamics in navigating their sexualities and sexual healthcare. The nuanced experiences stem from social contexts w…
Staying safe
Celling Sex was a community-based participatory research project that used a strengths-based approach to explore the agentic harm reduction practices employed by young women who trade sex and learn about their experience accessing health and social services. Fifteen racially diverse young women participated in interviews. They described how they tried to stay safe and advice for others. Each participant also individually made a brief digital vide…
Getting shut down and shut out
Participants predominantly expressed dissatisfaction in physicians' approaches to care, which were compounded by experiences of racism and discrimination. Findings demonstrate how ACB patients are marginalized and excluded from the healthcare syste Iimplications for better access to care included utilizing community healthcare centres, increasing physicians' capacity around culturally inclusive care, and increasing access to ACB physicians
Mixed-blood
In thinking through Indigenous-Blackness in colonial Canada, we explored the ramifications of the intersections of mixed-blood Indigenous-Black identity with colonialism, racism, gender, and social determinants of health, and how the outcomes of such intersections manifest as erasure, racism, and fractured identity. This critical research is nested within the larger Proclaiming Our Roots project, which uses an arts-based community-based methodolo…
The Muslimah Project
Prior research in Europe and North America demonstrates that religious discrimination against Muslim people, commonly known as Islamophobia, results in many negative mental health impacts, including depression, anxiety, isolation, and feelings of exclusion (Awan & Zempi, 2015). In Canada, Muslim women face a unique form of discrimination based on their religious, racial, and gender identities (Helly, 2012; Zine, 2008). Grounded in feminist inters…
Representations of fatness in Parents magazine
The authors investigate bodily pressures targeted at mothers through parenting magazines in a neoliberal cultural context. Theoretically rooted Foucault’s framework of biopower, the authors applied Foucauldian critical discourse analysis to examine messaging related to food and weight in Parents magazine. Findings highlight three key problematic discourses: (a) food practices are moral, physical, and emotional decisions made by mothers; (b) women…
Influences of sexual behaviors and vulnerability to HIV/Aids among heterosexual ACB youth living in Windsor, Ontario
Little research has investigated relationships among heterosexual African, Caribbean, and Black (ACB) youth and the factors that influence their behavior and the behavioral expectations they have of their sexual partners. This study identifies influential factors of behavioral expectations, and how this behavior shapes vulnerability for human immunodeficiency virus. This article draws on data from the POWER project in Windsor, Canada. Six focus g…
Decolonizing Scoping Review Methodologies for Literature With, for, and by Indigenous Peoples and the African Diaspora
This article summarizes our deepened understanding of decolonizing research with, for, and by Indigenous peoples and peoples of African descent that emerged from conducting a scoping review of the methodological literature and reflecting on our review process. Although our review identified decolonizing methodologies as a promising approach, we questioned if our scoping review process engaged in decolonizing knowing. To unpack the epistemological…
