A Critical Ethnographic Approach for Understanding How Environmental Factors Shape Experiences of Community Mobility for Older Adults Aging With and Into Vision Loss
The number of older adults diagnosed with vision loss in Canada, and globally, is growing. Older adults with age-related vision loss (ARVL), including macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy, experience a reduced capacity to engage with their communities because their opportunities to access and engage with their environments are greatly reduced. This can lead to feelings of abandonment, enhanced fear, and social isolation, which…
Enacting the Principles of Participatory Action Research (PAR)
Introduction: While existing reflections on participatory action research (PAR) emphasize the benefits experienced by participants in such studies, they often fail to critically interrogate the PAR process. This gap underscores the significance of process-oriented papers that illuminate the dynamics, supports, and hurdles of PAR, crucial for aligning scholarly endeavors with its fundamental principles of equitable participation, social transforma…
Research Practices to Foster Accessibility for, and the Inclusivity of, Older Adults With Vision Loss
Introduction: It is important that the embodied experience of visual impairment is understood in research, and critical participatory action research (CPAR) is one such research methodology that encourages the direct participation of individuals with disabilities in the design, development, and dissemination of research. Methods: This reflexive paper unpacked how our research collective carried out accessible and inclusive CPAR with older adults …
Enacting agency
Within research on ageing in neighbourhoods, older adults are often positioned as impacted by neighbourhood features; their impact on neighbourhoods is less often considered. Drawing on a study exploring how person and place transact to shape older adults’ social connectedness, inclusion and engagement in neighbourhoods, this paper explores how older adults take action in efforts to create neighbourhoods that meet individual and collective needs …
Working Towards the Promise of Participatory Action Research
Within research addressing issues of social justice, there is a growing uptake of participatory action research (PAR) approaches that are ideally committed to equitable participation of community members in all phases of the research process in order to collaboratively enact social transformation. However, the utilization of such approaches has not always matched the ideal, with inconsistencies in how participation and action are incorporated. 'P…
The effect of the environment on participation of children and youth with disabilities
OBJECTIVE: The study’s purpose was to identify and synthesize research evidence regarding the effect of the environment on community participation of children with disabilities. METHODS: A scoping review of peer-reviewed studies published from 1990 to 2011 was performed. Two independent reviewers selected studies based on a systematic procedure. Inclusion criteria for studies were: participants with a disability, aged 5–21 years, whose environmen…
