Medical uncertainty, structural inequities and disease
Lived experiences of racialized emerging adults in Canada during the Covid-19 pandemic
Early research has found that the COVID-19 pandemic and its mitigation strategies disproportionately affected young adults’ mental health. This paper examines how racialized emerging adults in Peel Region, Canada experienced pandemic lockdowns through the lens of their intersecting identities. Emerging Adulthood Theory conceptualizes ages 18-29 as a period of identity exploration and instability, while an Intersectionality framework highlights ho…
Attracting and Retaining Immigrants Outside of Gateway Cities
Intersecting vulnerabilities
Older adults faced high emotional distress during COVID-19. • Chronic inequities intersected with pandemic experiences to influence health and wellbeing. • Protective conditions unexpectedly increased emotional distress during the pandemic. • Social protections and mental health services can mitigate future disruptions. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated vulnerabilities among older adults, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa where structural inequi…
Navigating healthcare during the pandemic
The 'survival job' pathway
The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic were not equally distributed, with emerging research demonstrating that racialized and immigrant populations in Canada have been disproportionately affected. Drawing on the risk-focusing hypothesis, a theoretical lens that explicates how risk burden concentrates disproportionately in marginalized populations, government mitigation strategies such as shutdowns can be seen as exacerbating existing social and eco…
Lived Experiences of the Covid-19 Pandemic Among the Vietnamese Population in the Region of Peel
Digital geographies of care
The COVID-19 pandemic has created new digital health care landscapes for the management of substance use and misuse. While telehealth was prohibited for addiction treatment prior to the pandemic, the severity of COVID-19 precipitated telehealth expansion for the delivery of individual and group-based treatment. Research has highlighted benefits and challenges of telehealth; however, little is known about the impacts of telehealth on the quality, …

HIV Management Within Changing Social-Ecological Systems
The role of urban and rural greenspaces in shaping immigrant wellbeing and settlement in place
Greenspaces promote mental and physical health, yet racialized immigrants are known to experience inequitable greenspace access. There is growing interest in the ability of greenspace to support immigrant settlement and wellbeing. This paper responds to the need for greater attention to equity and inclusion within greenspace and wellbeing studies by examining the unique experiences facing immigrant populations. Given increasing immigrant settleme…

Rural futures? Mapping newcomers' hopes about potential resettlement in Canadian rural areas
The Canadian government recently launched initiatives to promote immigrant settlement outside of traditional gateway cities, in small towns and rural areas. These initiatives attempt to mitigate socio‐economic impacts of population decline, and address barriers to successful integration in urban areas. Drawing on the geographies of hope, this paper examines how newcomers navigate hopes as they imagine rural resettlement in Ontario. Based on focus…

Who is responsible for wellbeing? Shifting care responsibilities in the Canadian landscape
Carers comprise over one quarter of the Canadian population, and while many juggle paid work and care, they are generally left with few workplace care accommodations. As aging populations reshape care landscapes, historical and contemporary forms of decentralization continue to shift the responsibility for care from state institutions to individuals and their social systems. Scholarship in geography and associated fields have unpacked the critica…
Contested and (un)realized capabilities of wellbeing in rural places in Canada
Examines immigrants’ contemplations of wellbeing through urban-rural relocation • Contemplations reveal competing and unrealized capabilities characterize ill/well being • Urban and rural places both stifle yet hold potential to support flourishing lives • Wellbeing emerges in contemplative spaces between place-based aspirations and reality • Efforts to support wellbeing should consider contested capabilities of place Rural relocation of immigran…
Health Care Use and Barriers to Care for Chronic Inflammatory Diseases (CID) among First and Second Generation South Asian Immigrant Children and Parents in Ontario Canada
Although immigrants are disproportionately impacted by growing chronic inflammatory disease (CIDs) rates, yet suffer barriers to access health care, little attention has been given to their primary healthcare or specialist healthcare access as it relates to complex, chronic diseases in Canada, a country with universal health care. This study aims to investigate CID health care use and barriers to care among first- and second-generation immigrant …
Aging, (un)certainty and HIV management in South Africa
Research within geography and cognate disciplines demonstrates how (un)certainty informs relational, emergent and open‐ended processes of healthy aging. Although (un)certainty shapes aging health inequities and possibilities for reconfiguration, research often centres on challenges for aging individuals, eliding more dynamic, complex and contradictory factors shaping the health and wellbeing of aging individuals and societies. This paper uses qua…

HIV responsibilisation
The announcement that World AIDS Day would mark its 30th anniversary with the theme “know your status” was the result of significant advancements in the global response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. In making this declaration, UNAIDS emphasised that knowing one's status is crucial to achieving the 90‐90‐90 targets, namely that by 2020, 90% of all people living with HIV will know their status, receive sustained antiretroviral therapy, and have viral s…
Multidimensional disparities, resisting inequities
Walking the health geographers' talk
Although inequalities in the production, distribution, and determinants of health are central to health geographers, the discipline of health geography suffers from a “know‐do” gap. These health inequalities are personified in aging populations; older adults in sub‐Saharan Africa experience shorter life expectancies than in high‐income countries and endure higher disability and disease rates in old age. Concomitantly, the region experiences resou…
Global Discourses and Local Disconnects
Women comprise a larger share of the world’s aging population. Because older women occupy two stigmatized statuses, they are deemed a particularly disadvantaged group requiring attention. International organizations claim that the feminization of population aging has the potential to become one of the biggest challenges to gender equality of the twenty-first century due to cumulative impacts of inequalities in later life. Yet, discussions uncriti…
It's not enough
South Africa has received international recognition for taking an active role in addressing extreme poverty by establishing a national social grant program. Lauded as one example to alleviate poverty, the operating assumption is that these strategies provide alternatives to mainstream development assistance. Notwithstanding their potential effects, the pathways generating livelihood change and their long-term implications for processes of citizen…

There is a secret in love’
Research within geography and cognate disciplines have worked to demonstrate the important ways care(ing) informs the emotive, bodily and obligatory nature of gendered health. Although acts of care shape gendered health inequalities and possibilities for reconfiguration, scholarly research tends to focus on individual caregiving and receiving relationships within the domestic sphere, eliding more complicated, contradictory and uncomfortable quest…

Getting Old Well in Sub Saharan Africa
While literature attempts to explain why self-reported subjective wellbeing (SWB) generally increases with age in most high-income countries based on a social determinants of a health framework, little work attempts to explain the low levels of self-report SWB among older persons in sub-Saharan Africa. Using the 2013 Uganda Study on Global Aging and Health with 470 individuals, this research examines (i) direct and indirect effects of age on SWB …

Infectious addictions
Medical geography and health geography have made significant contributions to studies of human health by addressing the spatial patterns of disease exposure, location of health care services, and place-specific processes producing health and wellbeing. Human geography and human-environment geography have also contributed with emerging attention to the body, uncertainty, and health and environment interactions. What remains understudied are the co…
