Postcards From the Future
How is climate change affecting young athletes? Taking inspiration from the concepts of “polluted leisure” and “climatic affective atmospheres”, this article reveals how participating in sports (i.e., surfing, surf lifesaving, waka ama, kayaking, rowing) undertaken in/on rivers, oceans, and beaches damaged and destroyed by a changing climate are surfacing new affective and embodied relations with “polluted sport.” The analysis of focus groups and…

This chapter magnifies the voices of Alaskan children in considering education for sustainability in the Arctic. The collaborative research explored how children understood and enacted environmental stewardship in three distinct Alaskan locations: Interior Alaska, the Kenai peninsula, and a rural southwest Alaska Native village.

Public Health Emergency Response Lessons Learned by Rapid Deployment Force 3, 2006–2016

Each team can deploy within 12 hours, according to a defined but flexible schedule. T…

Taking a beneficiary-centred approach, it examines a collaborative effort by several agencies to develop a generic field guide to analyse refugees' views of healthcare services. The objective was to gather information that would contribute to significant improvements in the…
There Are No Free Gifts! Social Support and the Need for Reciprocity
Few discussions of aid or social support address the feelings that such support engenders in the support recipients. Yet receipt of support creates an emotional cost for the recipient and alters his/her perceived status as an independent member of a social group. This paper presents findings from a larger study of 202 African American and White parents of children with cancer, focusing on social support, social networks, and coping. Most discussi…
Families in Refugee Camps
Currently, a model describing family dynamics in a refugee camp setting is lacking. Although the numbers are staggering, and the sociopolitical and economic consequences of being refugees are enormous, research efforts have not been directed towards individuals and families in refugee camps. Generalized trends in family dynamics are presented within the context of becoming a refugee. Alterations in family structure and organization begin in the p…
