Environmental Health Attitudes, Practices, and Educational Preferences
Prenatal exposures to environmental toxicants can adversely affect fetal and child development and lead to increased risk of chronic disease. While regulatory action is essential to reduce sources of environmental toxicants, prenatal care presents an opportunity to educate, mobilize, and support prospective parents to reduce exposures to such hazards. As the first phase of an interdisciplinary research collaboration to inform the development of p…
Demarking a Cordon therapeutique through Vancouver’s Liquor License Moratorium for the Downtown Eastside
Policies that limit access to beverage alcohol are likely to drive people living with severe dependencies toward unsafe substitutes in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES). One such policy was a 1988 moratorium on liquor license issuance, expansion, and relocation applied to a specific area of Vancouver’s downtown core termed the Downtown Eastside Oppenheimer District. Drawing from community-engaged archival research conducted over a four-year pe…
The fate of closed schools
Public schools play a pivotal role in successful community development. Yet, with school closures on the rise across North America, there is limited knowledge on the outcomes of closed school properties. This study documents the afterlife of closed school properties in Ontario, Canada, identifying their potential beneficiaries, and assessing the prevalence of property vacancies. Using a dataset of over 400 schools closed between 2011 and 2021, we…
Giiwe
Preventing people from experiencing homelessness is a complex task requiring the coordination of multiple actors. There are various frameworks for homelessness prevention; however, there is no published example of an Indigenous-led model. We present the Giiwe model for systems homelessness prevention led by M'Wikwedong Indigenous Friendship Centre in Owen Sound, Canada. Giiwe hosts regular in-person meetings that use ceremony, Indigenous Knowledg…
‘It doesn’t happen any other way’
Intersectoral processes that bring together public institutions, civil society organizations and affected community members are essential to tackling complex health equity challenges. While conventional wisdom points to the importance of human relationships in fostering collaboration, there is a lack of practical guidance on how to do intersectoral work in ways that support authentic relationship-building and mitigate power differentials among pe…
Abandoning the SRO
This paper situates a ten-year period of political upheaval in addressing the problem of Single Room Occupancy (SRO) housing in Vancouver, Canada, within an epistemic transformation of public health. Until 1970, the Vancouver Health Department exemplified a colonial history of public health in establishing the city’s skid road as a cordon sanitaire. But the 1970s saw a sudden fading of the Department’s authority just as a more collaborative appro…

Toward intersectional and culturally relevant sex and gender analysis in health research
Current institutional frameworks in sex- and gender-based analysis (SGBA) are promising, but significant gaps remain in their relation to recent developments in research praxis. In this paper we draw from our own experiences with a national health research funding agency, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), to critically examine the uptake and implementation of its current frameworks and practices of sex and gender analysis in heal…
Thunder Finder
This video is about a Métis youth’s (Kaitrina Harrisson) journey of self-discovery, specifically their sexuality. Speaking of the past, finding inspiration; into the present, acknowledging their identity; and to the future, carrying hope. They also speak about the help lent to them by the hand drum and grandfather drum. Throughout the video, Kaitrina is heard drumming with the women’s and men’s drum circles they are a part of. Kaitrina created th…

In my video, I (James Schlonies) tell the story of how I struggled when I was younger. I went through all mental health services available in my town, but sometimes I just felt worse after. When I was in grade 7, I started going to M’Wikwedong. My family and I received help from M’Wikwedong to cope with what I was going through. Drumming helped me learn to speak up for myself. Now I am a member of the Board of Directors at M’Wikwedong and I am an…
Implementing Indigenous Gender-Based Analysis in Research
Numerous tools for addressing gender inequality in governmental policies, programs, and research have emerged across the globe. Unfortunately, such tools have largely failed to account for the impacts of colonialism on Indigenous Peoples' lives and lands. In Canada, Indigenous organizations have advanced gender-based analysis frameworks that are culturally-grounded and situate the understanding of gender identities, roles, and responsibilities wi…

After dispossession
Drawing from a multi-year research presence in Vancouver, Canada's Downtown Eastside, we generate insights into the praxis of the historically dispossessed within contemporary processes of subaltern urbanisms. Interviews with past and present Downtown Eastside residents reveal parallel narratives of dispossession and remaining between Japanese Canadians who were expelled during the Second World War and communities in the present-day neighborhood.…
Naloxone urban legends and the opioid crisis
As the overdose crisis in North America continues to deepen, public health leaders find themselves responding to sensational media stories, many of which carry forms and themes that mark them as urban legends.This article analyzes one set of media accounts - stories of misuse of naloxone, an opioid overdose antidote distributed to people who use drugs - through the lens of social science scholarship on urban legends. We suggest that these stories…
Mobilizing a fast policy fix
The management of homelessness has taken various forms over time. In 2003, the U.S. federal government significantly shifted its approach, ambitiously committing to end homelessness within 10 years by targeting the chronically homeless using the Housing First model. This approach to homelessness has rapidly spread across North America and beyond. This article is concerned with how the mobility of these 10-year plans has been realized. Drawing on …

Neighbourhood branding and the right to the city
In this article we seek to encourage geographers to consider the discursive dimensions of urbanization as a locus for activist inquiry into the right to the city. Drawing from literatures on urban branding and critical toponymy, we implicate the entrepreneurial phenomenon of neighbourhood branding as a primary enabler of urban gentrification and dispossession. Placing the discursive elision of local history, identity, and aspirations into dialect…

Toponymic assemblages, resistance, and the politics of planning in Vancouver, Canada
The marginalized and impoverished Downtown Eastside neighbourhood of Vancouver, Canada has long been subjected to planning programs that have aimed to solve area problems through strategic government intervention. The 2011–2014 Local Area Planning Process, led by the City of Vancouver in consultation with local actors, represents the most recent of such programs. Despite the Local Area Planning Process’s stated goal of inclusive participation, th…
Assembling “Japantown”? A critical toponymy of urban dispossession in Vancouver, Canada
Geographic scholarship in critical toponymy has highlighted the importance of place naming as a form of discursive power within processes of urbanization. This paper builds on such literature and advances a novel theory of toponymic assemblage to interpret findings from a participatory research project in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, Canada. We foreground neighborhood history in the form of a Japanese Canadian enclave and its wartime uproo…

Arguments in Health Geography
To introduce the sub-discipline of health geography and its developing interests, this paper initially reviews the different forms of arguments mounted by researchers. First, arguments on the nature and progress of inquiry that speak to directions, concepts, theories and methods. Second, using health care settings, public health and environmental health as illustrations, arguments that interpret and explain health and health care in different way…

Environmental health and vulnerable populations in Canada
The uneven distribution of environmental hazards across space and in vulnerable populations reflects underlying societal inequities. Fragmented research has led to gaps in comprehensive understanding of and action on environmental health inequities in Canada and there is a need to gain a better picture of the research landscape in order to integrate future research. This paper provides an initial assessment of the state of the environmental healt…

Introduction
The past 20 years have seen considerable development with regard to how human geographers conceptualise the relational (inter)connections between experiences in-place and those larger forces which originate at socially constructed scales such as the regional, national and/or global (see, for example, Marston 2000; Sheppard 2002; Kitchin and Wilton 2003). Yet, there remains little agreement as to whether scale should be elevated to the level of su…

Towards equity-focused intersectoral practice (EquIP) in children’s environmental health and housing
The transformational story of CPCHE underscores the competencies needed for public health professionals to acknowledge the sources of our own biases and limitations as a necessary first step in equity-focused intersectoral practice (EquIP). It also affirms the value of working in partnership with those who experience the environmental health inequities that such efforts seek to address

Place, Culture, and the Social Amplification of Risk
This article investigates the role of culture in the social production of risks and risk communication surrounding industrial development in a region located at a rural‐urban interface. A case study examined a public consultation that was undertaken to inform local residents about an eco‐industrial development proposal being planned near Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The research employed the social amplification of risk framework (SARF) to examine …

Power, Knowledge, and Public Engagement
Foucault's concept of governmentality has provided the basis for recent analysis of governance that explains the connections between power and knowledge in the formation of subjects in advanced liberal societies. In this paper, we apply this concept to help to understand the persistent conflict and power struggles that are characteristic of contemporary public engagement in environmental planning, using the case study of a regional land use plan …

Reaching for environmental health justice
Spatial disparities in environmental quality and practices are contributing to rising health inequalities worldwide. To date, the field of health promotion has not contributed as significantly as it might to a systematic analysis of the physical environment as a determinant of health nor to a critique of inequitable environmental governance practices responsible for social injustice-particularly in the Canadian context. In this paper, we explore …

Perceptions and experiences of environmental health risks among new mothers
There is a growing awareness and concern in contemporary societies about potential health impacts of environmental contaminants on children. Mothers are traditionally more involved than other family members in managing family health and household decisions and thus targeted by public health campaigns to minimise risks. However little is known about how new mothers perceive and experience environmental health risks to their children. In 2010, we u…

Examining inequities in children’s environmental health
Young children are more highly exposed and vulnerable to environmental health hazards than adults due to a variety of physiological and behavioural factors. Despite the significant responsibility mothers typically bear in managing their children’s health, little is known about how they perceive and negotiate these risks in their day-to-day lives. To better understand mothers’ environmental health risk perceptions and associated protective actions…
Supporting parents of Aboriginal children with asthma
Asthma is one of the most common chronic conditions affecting Aboriginal children and adolescents in Canada, with associated high rates of hospitalization and emergency room visits. Social support deficits and social isolation pose significant problems for Aboriginal families coping with asthma challenges. However, support interventions that focus on the unique support needs of parents of Aboriginal children affected by asthma have not been inves…
Respiratory Health Inequities Experienced by Low-Income Children and Parents
As some respiratory conditions are more prevalent among children who are low income, the aim of this study was to describe challenges experienced by children and parents coping with poverty and respiratory health problems and relevant service inequities. Children and parents who are low income (n = 69) were interviewed to identify challenges connected with poverty, compounded by chronic respiratory conditions. Poverty exacerbated challenges linke…

Participatory Action Research
Since the 1970s, participatory action research (PAR) has grown from relative obscurity on the radical fringes of geography to become a central research paradigm adopted by researchers of all disciplinary stripes who share a common interest in improving the relevance and impact of their work in the world. Particularly adept at uncovering the root causes of social and spatial inequalities, researchers using PAR have brought research into the commun…
