Family Matters
This article analyzes the creation and implementation of mothers’ allowances in New Brunswick from 1944-1966.

The Lived Experience of Veteran and Military Nursing Majors Transitioning to College
A needs assessment was conducted with a group of veteran and military students enrolled in prerequisite general education courses for a bachelor’s degree in nursing. This qualitative study sought to explore the question: What is the lived experience of veteran and military nursing majors transitioning to college? Using a phenomenological approach, we found three overarching themes: Interactions on Campus, Barriers to Success, and Facilitators of …
Using creative methodology to explore LGBTQ+ love and relationship experiences across the lifespan
Important lessons can be learned from the intergenerational sharing of lifetime love and relationship stories between multigenerational LGBTQ + people, to inform education, healthcare, and policy. However, such exploratory studies have been limited. The aim of this co-creation study was to explore younger and older peoples’ LGBTQ + love and relationship experiences using creative methodology. Three 2-h virtual fictional writing and storytelling w…
A work in progress
Legislatively and practically, school districts around the world have transitioned to more inclusive service delivery for students with disabilities. Despite consistent and meaningful changes across the spectrum of disability, students with Developmental Disabilities (DD) remain segregated in self-contained classrooms at a high rate. Within a Canadian context numbers vary: some provinces are fully inclusive and others continue to segregate studen…
Divine Darkness and Legal Darkness
The article explores the long lost synthesis between apophatic and cataphatic theological strategies and early legal systematizations which shaped the Christian, Jewish and Islamic legal collections in the twelfth century. It argues that the theological possibilities to achieve Divine knowledge have reached out to all normative forms of human existence including law. It focuses specifically on a Christian context where imagining the law involves …
Being more satisfied with romantic relationship status is associated with increased mental wellbeing in people with experience of psychosis
Mental health services should be mindful of the associations between romantic relationship satisfaction and wellbeing. Service users with a fearful attachment style may particularly benefit from support in this area
Transitioning towards inclusion
The current work employs the use of multiple lenses to illuminate the integral role of the Educational Assistant (EA) in a Canadian school district’s transition from a segregated to inclusive service delivery model for students with special needs. Often compatible, but also distinctive viewpoints and understandings shape the role of EA in this journey towards inclusive practice in the context of a district that deployed Inclusion Coaches to suppo…
Trauma, mental health, and health care experiences of lesbian and bisexual women in Rwanda
Experiences of Minority Stress Among Lesbian and Bisexual Women in Rwanda
Research conducted in high-income countries has documented substantial health disparities among sexual minority women (SMW; lesbian, bisexual, and other nonheterosexual women). However, little is known about the health of SMW in low-income countries where stigma and minority stressors are likely much more pervasive. Guided by the question, “What are the minority stress experiences of SMW in Rwanda?”, we conducted qualitative interviews with 20 wo…
Repentance in Late Antiquity
The OED defines repentance as ‘sorrow, regret or contrition for past action or conduct’. Repentance is the closest English word for the Greek term μετάνοια, which includes this sense of sorrow for sin, but at its core means a ‘change of mind or direction’, a notion fundamental to the thought-world of early Christians that remains basic to the canon law of both East and West. Alexis Torrance has made a study, not just of the terminology, but of th…
