Embedding the Depict Model Within an Integrated Arts-Based Knowledge Translation Framework
Community-engaged research and integrated arts-based knowledge translation share a drive to expand ways of cultivating and sharing knowledge beyond the boundaries of Western academic norms. Both approaches involve diverse voices and practices that require a flexible and interdisciplinary approach, which can feel difficult to execute and be rendered illegible within the rigid institutional processes and expectations of public health and health sci…

Summer Magic
This article explores the welcome created by the immersive movement work, welcome, we’ve been waiting, by Rodney Diverlus. As the first show back in the theatre for many, welcome, we’ve been waiting is a performance in three parts that takes place pre-entrance on a city street, in the stairwell at the building’s entrance, and on stage in the theatre. The community built through audience engagement meant that the theatre space felt more like a com…

The movement’s message found fertile ground in Canada, where Black activists speak of generations of injustice and continue the work of the Black liberators who have come before them. Until We Are Free contains some of the very best writing on the hottest issues facing the Black commun…
Queering Urban Justice

The author examines interventions by black queer and trans historiographers, critics, and activists who have attempted to reinscribe blackness into the history of LGBTTI2QQ space in Toronto.
