Decentring Labour
Scholarship on the Filipinx diaspora has tended to be framed through the analytic of labour. Such dominant framings of the Filipinx diaspora tend to set parameters for a diasporic politics that rests on normative citizenship categories. In this paper, I look to the everyday ways Filipinos navigate their lives outside the boundaries of labour. Engaging with interviews conducted on the unceded territories of the Lheidli T'enneh peoples (aka Prince …
Against abstraction
This article asks what kinds of places are we making within academic institutions concerned with racial and gender justice, decolonization and reconciliation when the terms of justice are fostered through the violence of abstraction? As queer scholar-activists, we share firsthand accounts of our movement from sites of community activism to the halls of academe, revealing the techniques and consequences of abstracting racist and gendered violence …
Framing Futurities in Photovoice, Health, and Environment
Anchored in critical analysis of a photovoice project, this article interrogates intersections between (1) health as it is tethered to ideas about the “future” and (2) worries about “the environment.” The ways the concepts of future, health and environment are dealt with by project participants suggest that arts-based research methods may be at risk of being seen as non-political spaces safe for people with privilege to envision some peoples as h…
Mining sick
Rural, remote, northern, and Indigenous communities on Turtle Island are routinely—as Cree Elder Willie Ermine says—pathologized. Social science and health scholarship, including scholarship by geographers, often constructs Indigenous human and physical geographies as unhealthy, diseased, vulnerable, and undergoing extraction. These constructions are not inaccurate: peoples and places beyond urban metropoles on Turtle Island live with higher burd…
Queering environmental regulation
Motivated by thinking at the intersection of queer theory and environmental regulation, the co-authors of this piece pay attention to a stubborn persistence we negotiate when dealing with environmental studies and politics - namely, how environmental regulation functions through discrete timelines with linear notions of progress and through bounded and static conceptions of space. Given the linear and bounded logics of environmental regulation, o…
Resource extraction and intersectoral research
The inaugural gathering of The Environment Community Health Observatory (ECHO) Network is a network of academic, non-profit, and health authority scholars and practitioners committed to understanding and responding to the cumulative impacts of resource extraction. The Network is embedded within multiple jurisdictions and institutional contexts, reflecting the Network’s efforts to work across sectors to address questions arising in communities and…
Repurposing beauty pageants
This paper considers how notions of beauty and performances at pageants transform as they move across different colonial times and spaces. It examines how gender, racial, and sexual subjectivities take shape among cisgender Filipina women who participate and organize community-based pageants on the traditional and ancestral territories of the Musqueam, Skxwú7mesh, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples (Vancouver, Canada). I analyze observations and intervie…

Delayed, deferred and dropped out
Models representing the assimilation of post-Second World War immigrants to North America use the academic achievement of children of first-generation immigrants as a benchmark of social mobility. Filipino youths in Canada fall short of this benchmark – they neither meet nor exceed their parents’ academic achievements. While concern with outcomes is a useful starting point, I suggest that there is a need to interrogate how and where students are …
