Problem representation of the Risk Mitigation Guidance (RMG) within the context of dual public health emergencies of Covid-19 and toxic drug deaths in British Columbia, Canada
Our study builds on the importance of evaluating problem representations in the process of policymaking. The RMG illustrates how crisis-driven policymaking shapes problem representations, enabling rapid intervention through the COVID-19 response while constraining responses to the toxic drug emergency. As a medicalized emergency response, the RMG addressed contagion but failed to confront the structural drivers of toxic drug deaths. Our study hig…
Implementation of risk mitigation prescribing during dual public health emergencies: A qualitative study among Indigenous people who use drugs and health planners in Northern British Columbia, Canada
Implementation and access to risk mitigation prescribing in Northern BC was limited, with region-specific applicability challenges and a health service delivery model that was not able to sufficiently meet the unique service needs of IPWUD. Demonstrating Northern ingenuity, peer groups, harm reduction community champions, and telehealth services were identified as stopgap measures that promoted access and reduced inequitable implementation within…

Listening otherwise: From “silent tourism” soundscapes to privileged sonic ways of knowing
This paper explores quests for silence in tourism in English-language online media. We offer a reading of media forms all articulating a soundscape of silence: a preferred sonic environment for tourists’ health and well-being. A relational and reflexive approach allows us to interrogate these taken-for-granted desired silences, and to emplace ourselves in the analysis. Using critical discourse analysis, we try to listen to the sounds produced in …
