Lived experiences of heat stress among migrant agricultural workers in Spain
Background Agricultural workers face high heat stress risk due to environmental and working conditions. Migrant agricultural workers (MAW) are especially vulnerable due to additional structural factors including irregular migratory status and high economic needs. Our study explores the lived experiences of occupational heat stress among MAW and its impact on health. Methods An interpretive, qualitative design was employed. Through purposive sampl…
Queer relationality and re-orientation through queer kinesthesia
2SLGBTQIA+ people are recognized as vulnerable to crises impacting mental health, while the mechanisms through which they navigate crises and regain stability—as individuals and communities—remain less clear. We argue that their attempts to reorient themselves and regain stability during crisis represent a form of queer kinesthesia , a process of kin-making and self-orientation. This study examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on queer com…
Beyond the Shell of Home
Drawing on empirical and theoretical traditions that approach people's movement through spaces as stories about culture and possibility, this article considers how the conditions occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic rigidified societal institutions — such as the home and the relations it envelops — and articulates “queer roaming” as an integral method of queer ontologies of mobility. The authors’ analysis of interviews conducted during the pandemi…

Biosocial Factors Shaping Perceptions of Disease Risk Among a Community‐Based Sample of Sexual and Gender Minority People Living in Toronto During the Covid ‐19 Pandemic
Introduction The COVID‐19 pandemic has disproportionately affected vulnerable populations, including sexual and gender minority (SGM) people. Food insecurity, prevalent among this population, may influence perceived vulnerability to infection and related psychological outcomes. This study investigated the association between food insecurity and perceived vulnerability to infection among SGM adults in Toronto, Canada, during the third wave of the …

Partner Exclusion from Childbirth During Covid-19 in Canada
We explore partner exclusion from perinatal care in Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants' narratives show that pregnant couples frame partner presence as a [human] right that was denied, and articulated this as denial of the "right to experience" and the "right to care." These restrictions deprived birth partners and families of an experience that is important to them, and represent a repudiation of the resurgence of birth as a socia…

Sexual and gender minority health vulnerabilities during the Covid ‐19 health crisis
Coronavirus 19 (COVID-19), the infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is both transforming and ending lives. In only 7 months (December 2019-July 2020), at least 11 million people have contracted the virus and over 500 000 have died (WHO, 2020). Though its impact is wide, COVID-19's illness and death tolls are felt most acutely by communities experiencing multiple and intersecting (Crenshaw, 198…

Ideal citizens
Reducing the maternal mortality rate (MMR) is an important part of Mexico's commitment to the Millennium Development Goals, and the country has made great strides towards achieving this goal. However, researchers have questioned to what extent the focus on improved MMR and other indices of maternal health has contributed to an emphasis on improved statistics rather than quality care, and the effect this has had on the quality of reporting. While …
