Spurring or Blurring Professional Standards? The Role of Digital Technology in Implementing Journalistic Role Ideals in Contemporary Newsrooms
This study examines the perceived relevance and implementation of competing normative ideals in journalism in times of increasing use of digital technology in newsrooms. Based on survey and content analysis data from 37 countries, we found a small positive relationship between the use of digital research tools and “watchdog” performance. However, a stronger and negative relationship emerged between the use of digital audience analytics and the pe…

Accommodating Journalism in Authoritarian Political Regimes. The Interventionist and Loyal-Facilitator Roles in Cuba and Venezuela
The societal context of professional practice: Examining the impact of politics and economics on journalistic role performance across 37 countries
The impact of socio-political variables on journalism is an ongoing concern of comparative research on media systems and professional cultures. However, they have rarely been studied systematically across diverse cases, particularly outside Western democracies, and existing studies that compare western and non-western contexts have mainly focused on journalistic role conceptions rather than actual journalistic practice. Using journalistic role pe…
Does the body speak? Body map of the relationship with food narrated by women in an intervention for food consciousness

Journalistic Role Performance in Times of Covid
This paper examines journalistic role performance in coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic, based on a content analysis of newspaper, television, radio and online news in 37 countries. We test a set of hypotheses derived from two perspectives on the role of journalism in health crises. Mediatization theories assume that news media tend to sensationalize or to politicize health crises. A contrasting perspective holds that journalists shift toward more…

Building knowledge of occupation from the ground up: A field in search of epistemic fairness and social relevance
In this keynote address to the first World Occupational Science Conference, I share some of the questions I have been grappling with, in the hope that others will perhaps point to alternatives in the way we look for solutions to the dire global context in which we find ourselves in 2022. The questions concern whether contemporary societies need the knowledge occupational science is generating, that is, whether it is useful in explaining the chang…

Does News Platform Matter? Comparing Online Journalistic Role Performance to Newspaper, Radio, and Television
The shifting role of journalism in a digital age has affected long-standing journalistic norms across media platforms. This has reinvigorated discussion on how work in online newsrooms compares to other platforms that differ in media affordances and forms. Still, more studies are needed on whether those differences translate into distinct practices, especially when examining cross-national studies. Based on the second wave of the Journalistic Rol…
A vida no quilombo: Trabalho, Afeto E Cuidado Nas Palavras E Imagens De Mulheres Quilombolas

O projeto foi desenvolvido a partir do Photovoice e de narrativas construídas nos marcos do diálogo autêntico e da soror…
Os impactos dos racismos nas ocupações da população negra: Reflexões Para a Terapia E a Ciência Ocupacional
No Brasil, os racismos são estruturais e estruturantes, pois estão enraizados nos arcabouços das sociedades, nas relações interpessoais e nas instituições, atravessando as ocupações significativas dos sujeitos e coletivos. Isto explica as disparidades em diversos setores da sociedade brasileira, notadamente na empregabilidade das pessoas negras, bem como nos seus modos de adoecer e morrer. Entendendo o papel que os racismos desempenham nas ocupaç…
The impacts of racisms on the occupations of the Black population: Reflections for Occupational Therapy and Science
In Brazil, the many forms of racisms are structural and structuring, since they are rooted deep within society, in interpersonal relationships, and in institutions, traversing significant occupations of subjects and collectives. This explains the disparities in various sectors of Brazilian society, notably in the employability of Black people, as well as in their forms of getting sick and dying. In understanding the role that racisms play in the …

Using Body-Map Storytelling for Accessing Insights in an Educational Intervention for Food Consciousness
Body-map storytelling (BMST) is a qualitative visual research methodology and has been used to access embodied subjective experiences in different areas of knowledge, with few studies in the field of nutrition. The consciousness of body experiences can decrease vulnerability to environmental stimuli for food consumption, which can be advantageous in contemporary changes with a significant appeal to food overconsumption. This study aimed to presen…
Constructing collective identities and solidarity in premiers’ early speeches on Covid-19: A global perspective
The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted a unique global experience, arousing both exclusionary nationalistic and inclusionary responses of solidarity. This article aims to explore the discursive and linguistic means by which the COVID-19 pandemic, as a macro-event, has been translated into local micro-events. The analysis studies the global pandemic through the initial statements of 29 leading political actors across four continents. The aim is to exa…
Health Access of Women in Provincial Correctional Institutions
Historically, there has been a disparity between men and women rates of incarceration, even though there has been a significant increase in the number of women imprisoned over the past 20 years, globally. Women have unique health care needs that are often not adequately addressed within the correctional institutions in which they are held. The focus of this study was to explore women's experiences when accessing health services within Canadian pr…

Detached or Interventionist? Comparing the Performance of Watchdog Journalism in Transitional, Advanced and Non-democratic Countries
This study proposes the interventionist and the detached orientations to watchdog journalism through the conceptual lens of journalistic role performance. Based on a content analysis of 33,640 news stories from sixty-four media outlets in eighteen countries, we measure and compare both orientations across different countries using three performative aspects of monitoring: intensity of scrutiny, voice of the scrutiny, and source of the event. Our …
Journalistic performance in Latin America: A comparative study of professional roles in news content
Comparative research across the world has shown that nation-level variables are strong predictors of professional roles in journalism. There is, however, still insufficient comparative research about three key issues: cross-national comparison of journalistic role performance, exploration of how – or whether – organizational variables account for variation in role performance across countries, and the performance of specific journalistic roles th…
Expanding Policy-Based Conceptualizations of ‘Successful Integration’: Negotiating Integration through Occupation following International Migration
The immigration of French-speakers to Canada and their successful integration into Francophone minority communities has become a priority for the country's federal government. A critical ethnography served to challenge assumptions regarding successful integration embedded within government documents and to raise awareness of the challenges faced by French-speaking immigrants from visible minority groups residing within London, Ontario, Canada. A …
Immigrant women’s occupational struggles during the socioeconomic crisis in Spain: Broadening occupational justice conceptualization
[Abstract] Occupational scientists claim that further development of the concept of occupational justice is needed to enact the discipline’s commitment to social transformation. We argue that immigrant women’s experiences of occupations in Spain can contribute to this dialogue. Although research on occupations after migration has expanded internationally, limited studies have adopted a critical stance towards health and occupation simultaneously.…
Reclaiming the Potential of Transformative Scholarship to Enable Social Justice
Scholars within critical qualitative inquiry and health sciences are becoming increasingly interested in transformative scholarship as a means to pursue greater justice in society. However, transformative scholarship has been taken up within frameworks that given a lack of consistent alignment with the critical paradigm seem to fall short in this intention. This article aims to reclaim transformative scholarship as an epistemological and methodol…
Introducing a Critical Analysis of the Figured World of Occupation
This critical analysis of occupational science examines the figured world of occupation. Figured worlds are 'typical' representations of a particular construct based on taken-for-granted theories and stories developed through experience and "guided, shaped, and normed" though social interactions (Gee, 2011, p. 76). Drawing on theoretical articles published primarily in the Journal of Occupational Science, a discussion regarding the values and ass…
How Do We ‘See’ Occupations? An Examination of Visual Research Methodologies in the Study of Human Occupation
This article argues that visual research methodologies have potential to contribute to the study of occupation. The use of visual research methodologies is quickly growing in a number of disciplines and can help researchers to access information and reasoning not accessible through interview, log or survey. The reflexive, reflective, engaged process of creating and analysing visual materials allows for rich representations on behalf of participan…

Young adults’ experiences of parental divorce or separation during their adolescence: An occupational perspective
In this article we present a narrative exploration of adolescent and young adult occupation surrounding a parental divorce or separation. Adolescence is a time of great change and exploration in daily life. The addition of a parental divorce can make this period of understanding one's desires, responsibilities, and lifelong occupational preferences less stable. Parental divorce changes the family structure, routines and habits, as well as the rel…

Illustrating the Importance of Critical Epistemology to Realize the Promise of Occupational Justice
This article argues that it is vital to embrace critical reflexivity to interrogate the epistemological beliefs and principles guiding occupation-based scholarship to move away from frameworks that are incongruent with calls for occupational justice. For this purpose, we describe an epistemic tension between the stated intentions to demonstrate that occupation-based work can be a means to create a more just society and the epistemological beliefs…
Exploring the Daily Lives of People on Methadone Maintenance Treatment: An Occupational Perspective
A qualitative study was undertaken with five people on methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) to better understand their experiences and daily routines. Through an in-depth exploration of their everyday occupations, we sought to reveal the ongoing challenges and barriers they face to accessing treatment. The concept of occupation refers to ‘all that people need, want and are required to do’ but also extends further to encompass ‘how doing contribu…

Análisis de la cultura periodística Cubana a partir de la perspectiva decolonial: Aportes a un periodismo-otro desde y para América Latina
The Eurocentric character of communication and journalism in Latin America is a palpable phenomenon based on Western thought, academic and scientific models. Hence, as part of the decolonial criticism, the paradigm journalism- other is presented as the possibility of ‘decolonising’ the journalistic profession of those exogenous and westernising paradigms. In this scenario, the study of the journalistic culture of Cuba leads us to build profession…
