Email Overload: Rethinking University Communication with At-Promise Students
Postsecondary institutions tend to overwhelm students with e-mail communications, consequently affecting how students (dis)engage with campus information and navigate campus resources. Drawing on a three-year research-practice partnership and ecological validation theory, the study reveals how two campuses strategized to improve e-mail communications with at-promise students. Action-oriented findings underscore the importance of coordinated, vali…
Adapting to changing risk environments: Examining overdose risk and socio-spatial patterns of unstably housed people who use drugs during converging public health crises
Background The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the US overdose crisis and disproportionately impacted unstably housed people who use drugs. Measures to address the pandemic within the context of crisis produced differential effects, particularly among people who use drugs. Examining how unstably housed people who use drugs adapted to shifting risk environments is imperative to responding to future crises.Methods Rapid ethnographic data was collecte…
Ethnic Chinese participation in long-term visions for collaborative freshwater planning in Canterbury, Aotearoa New Zealand
In attempting to address environmental degradation through participatory processes, planners need to be cognisant of societies becoming more ethnically diverse. This poses challenges to both engage with recent migrants, and to provide education and opportunities for involvement in host governance systems. Here, freshwater values of concern to ethnic Chinese in Aotearoa New Zealand are explored, along with involvement in participatory freshwater m…
Exploring the relationship between housing conditions and Métis Nation of Ontario citizen’s health: A qualitative study
This is the first Métis-specific study to explore and gather the lived experiences and stories of MNO citizens regarding the impact of housing conditions on their health. Our findings revealed a multifaceted relationship between housing and health, extending beyond individual's living conditions, with a significant impact on Métis citizens' mental health. The results will be used to inform MNO housing programs to increase Métis homeownership and …
Te kapa o Te Reureu: Keeping the home fires burning
Te Matatini has ensured kapa haka is now a well‐recognised form of national entertainment, but this has led to some debate about tradition and contemporaneity, and performance versus deeper politico‐cultural kaupapa. Through a case study based in Te Reureu Valley (Manawatū, Aotearoa/New Zealand), we explore the political potential of kapa haka, and highlight the role of ahi kā in this vital kaupapa. When tended by ahi kā, kapa haka (re)forged tho…
Spatial opportunities at the rural-urban fringe: Balancing urban growth, food production and ecology
Urban expansion at the rural-urban fringe is driving loss of productive agricultural land, biodiversity and ecosystem services. This phenomenon is underpinned by Western society’s evolving conceptual and spatial distinctions between food production, nature, and the city. With particular relevance for the Anglosphere, this narrative review explores how these competing interests can be negotiated spatially. First, we give an overview of urban utopi…

Farm borders and biosecurity bordering: Securing livestock identities in Aotearoa New Zealand
In this paper I conceptualise "biosecurity bordering" as the distribution of biosecurity practices throughout the spaces of everyday life. I explore biosecurity bordering through a case study of the National Animal Identification and Tracing (NAIT) scheme for tracing livestock movements in Aotearoa New Zealand. NAIT acts as a filtering technology, separating (un)healthy animal bodies and (non)compliant farmers. These practices of "firewall border…
Covid-19 vaccination intention and vaccine hesitancy among citizens of the Métis Nation of Ontario
This research contributes to the knowledge base for Métis health and supported the MNO's information sharing and educational activities during the COVID-19 vaccines rollout. Future research will examine the relationship between the 5Cs and actual uptake of COVID-19 vaccines among MNO citizens
Barriers to Change: Social Network Interactions Not Sufficient for Diffusion of High-Impact Practices in STEM Teaching
We examined the relationship between faculty teaching networks, which can aid with the implementation of didactic high-impact practices (HIPs) in classroom instruction, and the actual implementation of said practices. Participants consisted of STEM faculty members that teach introductory courses at a USA research university. A total of 210 faculty were invited to complete the Teaching Practices Inventory (TPI), which measures the use of classroom…

Family mealtime behaviors in children who are tube fed and preparing to transition to oral eating: A comparison to other pediatric populations
This study examined differences in observed mealtime behaviors between children preparing to transition to oral feeding and children with various other chronic illnesses using a standardized measure of mealtime beaviors. The parent-child mealtime relationship can become strained due to problematic mealtime behaviors that limit food intake, as well as inadvertent reinforcement of disruptive behavior by caregivers. Frequency/rate of behaviors were …
Branded Dreams, Boss Babes: Influencer Retreats and the Cultural Logics of the Influencer Para-Industry
This article critically examines influencer retreats as important sites of industrialization within the social media entertainment industry. Using Pangea Dreams as a case study and drawing on industrial discourses and textual artifacts, including interviews, popular press articles, and social media posts, I argue that influencer retreats constitute sites where assumptions about modes of production, labor, and content are produced and circulated, …
Maternal depressive and anxiety symptoms before and during the Covid-19 pandemic in Canada: A longitudinal analysis
'If You Can Work From Anywhere, Why Work Anywhere Else?': Flexible Citizenship, Regimes of Mobility, and the Discourse of Digital Nomadism
Digital nomadism is a term that has entered the cultural lexicon relatively recently to describe a lifestyle unbound from the traditional structures and constraints of office work (Makimoto and Manners, 1997; Cook, 2020; Thompson, 2018). This identity is organized around the digital technologies and infrastructures that make “remote work” possible, allowing digital nomads to claim “location independence” and granting them the freedom to travel wh…
Charting New Ground: Between Tactical Urbanism and Strategic Spatial Planning
In this paper, we highlight some of the challenges associated with strategic spatial planning, including long-time frames, limited control, translation and implementation gaps. We then explore how tactical urbanism might, in theory, address these s given its emphasis on small-scale, immediate, experimental action for long-term change. Our research with a Charter-based, principles-led, action-oriented network is then used to test these possibiliti…
Cross-Sectional Study Protocol for the Covid-19 Impact Survey of Mothers and Their 7–11 Year Old Children in Alberta, Canada
Objectives: Our aim is to understand the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on families who have been followed longitudinally in two cohorts studied in Alberta, Canada. We will examine household infections during the COVID-19 pandemic, financial impact, domestic violence, substance use, child school and daily life and relationships in the home. We will identify risk and protective factors for maternal mental health outcomes using longitudinal data t…
A mobile sense of place: Exploring a novel mixed methods user-centred approach to capturing data on urban cycling infrastructure
The paper explores a user-centred methodology for collecting, categorising, visualising, and interpreting data on urban cycling infrastructure and related cycling events. It develops a mobile mixed methods approach combining audio, video, sensor, and geospatial data sources. The method responds to stakeholders’ feedback and related concerns about negotiating engineering, landscape and urban design, planning and policy elements in a way that addre…
Interstitial Silences in Sociotechnical Change: The Case of Genetically Modified ‘Tearless’ Onions
Genetically modified (GM) ‘tearless’ onions were developed in a New Zealand laboratory facility in 2007, but efforts to initiate a field test were unsuccessful, and by 2012 the project had been almost completely dismantled. The overall trajectory of this project was influenced by a collaboration between teams of scientists in Japan and New Zealand; commercial pressures in the New Zealand science system; different regulatory processes that must be…

A close examination of the role and needed expertise of brokers in bridging and building science policy boundaries in environmental decision making
Knowledge brokers are often portrayed as neutral intermediaries that act as a necessary conduit between the spheres of science and policy. Conceived largely as a task in packaging, brokers are expected to link knowledge producers and users and objectively translate science into policy-useable knowledge. The research presented in this paper shows how brokering can be far more active and precarious. We present findings from semi-structured intervie…
Research into Genetically Modified Organisms in New Zealand: An Examination of a Sociotechnical Controversy
New Zealand is known around the world as a country that is clean, green and “100% Pure.” The existence of genetically modified organisms in New Zealand is generally viewed as inconsistent with this identity, and there is therefore considerable public controversy surrounding research that utilises genetic modification techniques. In this paper, I examine the variety of interacting factors that are serving to shape this controversy, the influence i…

Flâneuseor fallen woman? Edwardian femininity and metropolitan space in heritage film
This article examines Elaine Feinstein's 1984 television dramatisation of Edith Holden's The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady in light of debates about tensions between progressive narratives, and mise-en-scènes, in heritage film. I argue that evocations of an Edwardian pastoral idyll relate to late twentieth-century uncertainties about the nostalgic functions of Edwardian women for the 1980s. By analysing the representation of Holden's London …
Private Enterprise: The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady and Female Fan Communities
Edith Holden(1871-1920) is the naturalist celebrated for her bestselling Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady (written 1906, published posthumously 1977). This book of natural observations, paintings, and poetry remained at the top of the British Sunday Times bestseller list for a record- breaking sixty-three weeks and sold prolifically throughout the United States, Europe, and the Far East. In the subsequent decade, public demand for information a…
Edith Holden: An extraordinary lady? The vexed debate about the ‘diary of a nobody’
Edith Holden's Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady (1906, published posthumously 1977) is one of the bestselling books in British publishing history.Yet critical reactions to this work have puzzled over both its canonical status and, in the light of the internationally successful merchandising industry that the diary has spawned, Holden's own status as a public figure. Is she a representative 'ordinary' woman or a more familiar type of celebrity, …

Adolescent Health
Social changes in the past half-century have both expanded the concept of adolescence and markedly altered the threats to adolescent health. Biological changes in pubertal maturation have lowered the age at which adolescence begins, and economic and educational demands have expanded the upper limits of adolescence. Increased access to weapons, contraception, illegal substances, and motor vehicles, combined with changing social attitudes and reduc…
Beliefs about optimal age and screening frequency predict breast screening adherence in a prospective study of female relatives from the Ontario Site of the Breast Cancer Family Registry
Study results suggest that women with a family history of breast cancer should be strongly communicated recommendations about initial age of screening and screening intervals as related beliefs significantly predict adequate adherence
The Impact of Tobacco Smoking on Treatment for Comorbid Depression and Alcohol Misuse
The impact of parenthood on Canadians’ objectively measured physical activity: An examination of cross-sectional population-based data
Modest differences emerged between the physical activity level of parents and non-parents for both genders and across intensity levels. In general, parenthood was associated with less MVPA and more light-intensity activity, and more differences emerged among women compared to men. More research is needed before conclusions can be drawn regarding the health consequences of these differences

Assessing contraband tobacco in two jurisdictions: A direct collection of cigarette butts
The direct collection of cigarette butts was determined to be a feasible method for a local public health unit in determining the proportion of contraband cigarettes. This approach showed that Brantford has a higher proportion of contraband consumption compared to Peel, which may be due to geographic location and proximity to the United States (US)-Canada border and Native Reserves. More research is needed to confirm this geographic association w…
