There is no dignity in this”: Understanding the experience of families facing death of a loved one during the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic changed every aspect of how families managed the experience of dying loved ones. This Canadian study enrolled 24 immediate family members of patients who died of any cause during the COVID-19 global pandemic. Participants were interviewed, exploring their experiences from before hospitalization to death and bereavement including dignity related concerns. A qualitative study design rooted in constructivist grounded theory met…
Together, alone: Personal experiences of virtual funeral attendance during the Covid-19 global pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic caused profound distortions in how deaths were marked by those left to mourn their passing. Public health restrictions prohibited gatherings of friends and families for traditional funerals, causing an upsurge in reliance on virtual alternatives. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of individuals attending virtual funerals following a death of any cause, including reasons for choosing virtual attendance, per…
The first casualty of Covid-19 for patients nearing death was human dignity: Understanding the experience of palliative care patients during the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way people lived, but also the way they died. It accentuated the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual vulnerabilities of patients approaching death. This study explored the lived experience of palliative inpatients during the pandemic. We conducted interviews with 22 palliative inpatients registered in a Canadian urban palliative care program, aimed to uncover how the pandemic impacted participants' exp…
It took so much of the humanness away”: Health care professional experiences providing care to dying patients during Covid-19
COVID-19 has affected healthcare in profound and unprecedented ways, distorting the experiences of patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs) alike. One area that has received little attention is how COVID-19 affected HCPs caring for dying patients. The goal of this study was to examine the experiences of HCPs working with dying patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Between July 2020-July 2021, we recruited HCPs (N = 25) across Canada. We cond…

Child ADHD and anxiety: Parent mental health literacy and information preferences
This research explored parents' mental health literacy (MHL) skills (i.e., recognizing symptoms and identifying effective help‐seeking strategies) for child attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and anxiety, factors associated with their MHL, and preferences for receiving information about each disorder. N = 128 parents were recruited from community organizations to participate in an online survey. Parents were randomly assigned to read…

Funding a Peoples' Food Justice Geography? Community-Academic Collaborations as Geographic Praxis
Community–academic collaborations that value experience-based knowledge alongside institutional ways of knowing have long been of interest in geography. In 1984, Harvey proposed a “peoples’ geography” that would integrate nonacademic knowledge into the field, increasing geography’s potential to help create a just world. Recent community–academic food justice collaborations have taken up this proposition through initiatives addressing issues from …

Scholar-activist perspectives on radical food geography: Collaborating through food justice and food sovereignty praxis
Radical geography research, teaching, and action have increasingly focused on food systems, examining the scalar, sociopolitical, and ecological dynamics of food production and harvesting, processing, distribution, consumption, and waste. While academics have contributed significantly to these debates, the success and progress of this scholarship cannot be separated from the work of practitioners and activists involved in food justice and food so…
Toward a radical food geography praxis: Integrating theory, action, and geographic analysis in pursuit of more equitable and sustainable food systems
Radical geographies scholarship has evolved over the past decades in pursuit of transforming spatial, political-economic, social, and ecological engagements within oppressive structures. Similarly, food systems scholarship demonstrates increasing interest in the scalar, sociopolitical, and ecological dynamics of food systems, often with an applied or action-oriented focus. Building on these connected, yet divergent, traditions of scholarship and …
Envisioning radical food geographies: Shared learning and praxis through the Food Justice Scholar-Activist/Activist-Scholar Community of Practice
Food justice scholarship and activism have coevolved and at times been intertwined over past decades. In some instances, there are clear distinctions between “scholarly” and “activist” activities. However, individuals, groups, and actions often take on characteristics of both, producing knowledge at multiple sociopolitical scales. Recognizing and building upon these dynamics is important for strengthening food justice work. This is especially sal…
The entrepreneurship of survival among urban adults experiencing homelessness and mental illness
AIMS: Using an entrepreneurship lens, this study examined the narratives of urban adults experiencing homelessness and living with mental illness, to explore strategies used for day-to-day survival. METHODS: Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 14 females, 30 males, and one individual identifying as "other," living in a mid-sized Canadian city. The average age was 39 years. Data were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using t…
Older men's perceptions of the need for and access to male-focused community programmes such as Men's Sheds
Although participating in community social programming is associated with positive physical and mental health outcomes for older adults, older men participate less often than women. Men's Sheds is a community programme used primarily by older men that originated in Australia and is well established there. The goal of the current study was to explore men's perceptions of the need for Men's Sheds and issues concerning access to them in Canada, a co…

Urban Agriculture Policy Making in New York’s “New Political Spaces”: Strategizing for a Participatory and Representative System
U.S. cities have implemented policies to support urban agriculture (UA), often developed in “new political spaces” formed when conventional policy mechanisms are unable to resolve municipal problems. This article examines these processes in New York City, particularly aspects of UA that existing policies, plans, and research strategies have not fully addressed. Interviews with UA stakeholders and an analysis of the city’s UA policy-making process…
Disparity Despite Diversity: SocialInjustice in New York City's Urban Agriculture System
Many studies have documented the benefits of urban agriculture, including increased food access, job creation, educational opportunities, and green space. A focus on its social benefits has fed an association of urban agriculture with social justice, yet there is a distinction between alleviating symptoms of injustice (such as disparate access to food or environmental amenities) and disrupting structures that underlie them. Despite its positive i…
