Fostering the process of belonging online through teaching and learning interactions
There is an established relationship between teaching and learning practices and the drive to foster belonging in Australian universities towards improved student success and retention. This qualitative grounded theory study examined the experiences of first year students and teaching staff in ICT (Information Communication Technology) to develop a process of belonging online in higher education. We found belonging is fostered by connecting inter…
Actively maintaining connections in first-year higher education
While there is extensive literature on student belonging, there are aspects of the process of belonging that are still unclear. This longitudinal grounded theory study included 19 ICT students in their first year of undergraduate study, eight of their lead educators and four support educators in an Australian higher education institution. Employing Strauss’ approach to grounded theory, and symbolic interactionism as an analytical tool, researcher…
Exploring How Cannabis Use Featured in the Mental Health Experiences and Daily Lives of Queer, Non-Binary, and Trans Youth in the Early Phases of the Covid-19 Pandemic
While the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated mental health and substance use inequities among youth, less is known about how queer, non-binary and transgender (QNT) youth in Canada experienced changes in cannabis use and mental health during the pandemic. This mixed-methods study explored the relationship between cannabis use, mental health, and experiences with the COVID-19-related public health measures among QNT youth. Between July 2020 and Jun…
A user-centric taxonomy of cyber harm in the metaverse
The Cost of Caring
Background: The drug toxicity crisis has had dramatic impacts on people who use drugs. Peer overdose response workers (peer responders), i.e., individuals with lived/living experience of drug use who work in overdose response settings, are particularly susceptible to negative physical and mental health impacts of the crisis. Despite that, the mental health impacts on peer responders have yet to be studied and measured. Methods: The Professional Q…
Anticipate the need”
This study explores service providers’ accounts of working with sexual and gender minority (SGM) youth and the improvised and non-institutionalized adaptations to their delivery of care in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We present a narrative analysis of data from qualitative, in-depth semistructured interviews conducted between July 2020 and August 2021 with 16 service providers who deliver programs and services for SGM youth in British Colu…
A team-teaching approach for blended learning
Blended learning is often viewed as a teaching mode that integrates a combination of online interactive activities with face-to-face learnings. This includes a mixture of different types of teaching and learning techniques, and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) tools. In this study, we undertook an experiment to ascertain what constituted a practitioner-based approach to team-teaching for blended learning. The experiment occurred d…
“It's an emotional roller coaster… But sometimes it's fucking awesome”
Despite the frequent hardships and loss that accompany overdose response work, experiential workers identified important aspects that give their work meaning. These aspects of their work may help to protect workers from the emotional harms associated with stressful work as well as the stigma of substance use. Recognizing the importance of experiential work and its role in the lives of PWUD can help inform and strengthen organizational supports
