Trusted agents as knowledge translation mechanisms in flood disaster warning
When institutional warning channels fail to convert hazard knowledge into protective action, community-embedded volunteers become critical intermediaries for reaching socially vulnerable populations. Drawing on an embedded qualitative case study of the 2025 Matai'an Stream landslide-dam overflow in Hualien, Taiwan — an event that generated nineteen official alerts yet produced spatially uneven evacuation outcomes — this study identifies three seq…
Meaningful Positioning
Indigenous women and birthing parents in Canada disproportionately face mistreatment in their maternal healthcare experiences due to systemic anti-Indigenous racism, ongoing harmful impacts of settler colonialism, and power differentials inherent in many healthcare relationships. Indigenous midwives and doulas are important leaders in resisting these conditions and reclaiming traditional Indigenous birth knowledge and practices. Ultimately, they …
Challenging the myth of women's empowerment
Commercial sex and mining have long been interwoven. With the spread of neoliberal capitalism, social relations around the mine site have become increasingly commodified. This ethnographic study examines the experiences of female sex workers in the mining town of Solwezi, Zambia. Women's stories offer insight into the lives of those excluded from the conventional women's economic empowerment narrative that has been widely adopted by the mining in…

Number worship
Numerical knowledge is critical to global public health, but numbers often emerge from contexts that require serious attention to historical and contextual factors shaped by race and place-based marginalisations. Without such attention, even progressive anti-racist public health projects can cause harm in neighbourhoods like Bayview Hunters Point in San Francisco. The central role of numbers in governance has received substantial scholarly attent…
Costs and benefits of improving water and sanitation in slums and non-slum neighborhoods in Dhaka, a fast-growing mega-city
Mega-cities like Dhaka in Bangladesh face urban planning challenges to provide residents access to safe water and sanitation. This paper presents the results of a large-scale survey focusing on slum and non-slum residents' experiences with urban water supply, water pollution and flood risks and associated costs of illness (COI). The latter are compared to residents' willingness to pay (WTP) for improved water services. We test differences in publ…
Author Meets Readers
This is the first of an ongoing series of review essays in which the authors of significant new works of philosophy engage their readers. These inaugural two readings discuss Rein Raud’s important new reassessment of contemporary ontology, Being in Flux: A Post-Anthropocentric Ontology of the Self. They consider its accomplishments, both on its own terms and with reference to its East Asian and South Asian precursors. Raud then offers a response

Developing and Testing Automatic Models of Patient Communicative Health Literacy Using Linguistic Features
Patients with diabetes and limited health literacy (HL) may have suboptimal communication exchange with their health care providers and be at elevated risk of adverse health outcomes. These difficulties are generally attributed to patients' reduced ability to both communicate and understand health-related ideas as well as physicians' lack of skill in identifying those with limited HL. Understanding and identifying patients with barriers posed by …
Anticipating Invasion
When the Guomindang retreated to Taiwan in 1949, Chiang Kai-shek and party leaders feared an imminent Communist invasion. Lacking soldiers in the reserve army, Chiang turned to high school and college students to recruit and train for the armed forces. In 1953, the Ministry of National Defense Political Department implemented mandatory military training in all senior high schools on the island and soon began educating and dispatching military ins…
