Spatial Dimensions of Energy Poverty Alleviation and Socioeconomic Sustainability in Sub‐Saharan Africa
Despite sub‐Saharan Africa's vast endowment of energy resources, more than half of the region's population remains without access to electricity, positioning energy poverty as a persistent constraint on sustainable socioeconomic development. Consequently, a growing body of empirical literature has examined the socioeconomic consequences of energy poverty; however, its spatial transmission mechanisms remain insufficiently explored. Therefore, this…

Connectivity between long-term care homes and subsequent Sars-CoV-2 outbreaks
Staff cohorting was associated with reduced importation risk of SARS-CoV-2 cases into LTCH. However, once importation has occurred, other facility-level factors including facility infrastructure and staff benefits are more important in shaping outbreak size. Implementing these structural strategies to meet the LTCH workers and residents' needs are pivotal to prevent and manage future respiratory virus outbreaks

Mobility changes following Covid-19 stay-at-home policies varied by socioeconomic measures: An observational study in Ontario, Canada
In Canada, lower income households and essential workers were disproportionately at risk of SARS-CoV-2. Early in the pandemic, stay-at-home restriction policies were used to limit virus transmission. There remains an evidence gap in how changes in mobility, in response to the policies, varied across socioeconomic measures in Canada. The study objective was to describe the variability in mobility change to two restrictions, by neighborhood-level i…

The Securitisation of Language Borders and the (Re)production of inequalities
This article will focus on inequalities for migrants which are (re)produced by the promise of equality through citizenship and settlement test regimes. I theorize the links between language and borders by drawing on scholarship on security before offering an analysis of language border proliferation. Drawing on other studies and my own work, I will also outline various inequalities. First, how language can act as a proxy for the race through test…
Cultural adaptation and validation of the Others as Shamer scale: A Barrier to Effective Health-Care Assessment
Purpose Despite the fact that shame is recognized as a significant factor in clinical encounters, it is under-recognized, under-researched and under-theorized in health prevention, assessment and cross-cultural contexts. Thus, this study aims to investigate the psychometric properties of the most widely used scale, the “Other as Shamer Scale” (OAS), to assess the risk and proclivities of external shame in adults. As in health care, there is a bar…

These positionalities range from being a Muslim ‘brother’ to being aligned with Government security. Being Muslim and male also a…
Deserving citizenship? Exploring migrants' experiences of the 'citizenship test' process in the United Kingdom
Since the early 2000s several European countries have introduced language and citizenship tests as new requirements for access to long-term residence or naturalization. The content of citizenship tests has been often presented as exclusionary in nature, in particular as it is based on the idea that access to citizenship has to be 'deserved'. In this paper, we aim to explore the citizenship tests 'from below', through the focus on the experience o…
Security and Language Policy
This chapter draws critical security studies into the investigation of language policy for two reasons. First, it provides informative commentary on how the concept of security is being reconfigured, with developments in digital technology, large-scale population movements, and the privatisation of public services. Second, it is increasingly attentive to how geopolitics permeates the everyday. Accordingly, critical security studies can generate c…
How Can We Keep Immigrant Travelers Healthy? Health Challenges Experienced by Canadian South Asian Travelers Visiting Friends and Relatives
Immigrant travelers who visit friends and relatives (VFR travelers) experience substantially higher rates of travel-related infections than other travelers, in part due to low uptake of pretravel health advice. While barriers to accessing advice have been identified, better characterization is needed to inform targeted interventions. We sought to understand how South Asian VFR travelers perceived and responded to travel-related health risks by co…

Reciprocity for new migrant integration: Resource Conservation, Investment and Exchange
In this paper we bring a new perspective to the understanding of migrant integration. We focus on how new migrants use reciprocity to make and sustain connections. In turn, we identify integration resources accessed through those connections and associated acts of reciprocal exchange. Using qualitative data collected in retrospective interviews from a maximum variation sample of new migrants arriving in the U.K. up to two years before interview, …
Making political citizens? Migrants' narratives of naturalization in the United Kingdom
Citizenship tests are arguably intended as moments of hailing, or interpellation, through which norms are internalized and citizen-subjects produced. We analyse the multiple political subjects revealed through migrants’ narratives of the citizenship test process, drawing on 158 interviews with migrants in Leicester and London who are at different stages in the UK citizensh ip test process. In dialogue with three counter-figures in the critical na…

They look into our lips: Negotiation of the citizenship ceremony as authoritative discourse
The British citizenship ceremony marks the legal endpoint of the naturalisation process. While the citizenship ceremony may be a celebration, it can also be a final examination. Using an ethnographically-informed case study, this article follows one candidate, ‘W’, through the naturalisation process in the UK. W is a migrant Yemeni at the end of the naturalisation process. Bakhtin’s notion of “ideological becoming” offers an analytic orientation …

Exploring the origin and potential for spread of the 2013 dengue outbreak in Luanda, Angola
INTRODUCTION: Dengue in Africa is underreported. Simultaneous reports of travellers with dengue returning from Luanda, Angola, to six countries on four continents suggest that a major dengue outbreak is currently occurring in Angola, South West Africa. METHODS: To identify the origin of the imported dengue virus, we sequenced the virus from Angola and investigated the interconnectivity via air travel between dengue-endemic countries and Angola. R…

Estimated Zika virus importations to Europe by travellers from Brazil
BACKGROUND: Given the interconnectivity of Brazil with the rest of the world, Zika virus (ZIKV) infections have the potential to spread rapidly around the world via viremic travellers. The extent of spread depends on the travel volume and the endemicity in the exporting country. In the absence of reliable surveillance data, we did mathematical modelling to estimate the number of importations of ZIKV from Brazil into Europe. DESIGN: We applied a p…
