Increasing opportunities for movement in Nova Scotia, Canada
Introduction: (CoM) is a four-year (2022-2026) community-wide initiative designed to increase opportunities for low-barrier, less-structured movement (e.g., walking, wheeling, cycling, gardening, etc.) through policy, built-and socia-environment actions and cross-sector partnerships. Objectives: To describe the CoM Phase 1 actions across four Nova Scotian communities, detail the participatory evaluation approach, and share early implementation in…
Promoting health and equity in schools
Children are increasingly disconnected from nature, particularly within the school setting, despite the potential for schools to influence children’s health and well-being. In 2021, government funding allowed for the creation of new outdoor learning (OL) spaces in elementary schools in Nova Scotia, Canada. We conducted an environmental scan to explore the state and impact of this OL funding for children’s health and well-being. All Nova Scotia el…
Pesticide Exposure and Parkinson's Disease
INTRODUCTION: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder, affecting an estimated 10 million people globally, and its incidence rate is rising rapidly. PD most commonly develops sporadically, with only 5%-10% of cases linked to genetic causes. Environmental factors, including exposure to pesticides, have been associated with a higher risk of PD. Multiple studies have shown an increased incidence of PD in geographical regions w…
“Losing access to outdoor spaces was the biggest challenge for children to be healthy”
Introduction: Health-focused communities can promote physical activity for children by providing them with safe and supportive environments to move. Across the COVID-19 pandemic many community spaces and services were closed due to public health restrictions. During the pandemic, Atlantic Canada uniquely implemented an agreement between four provinces to restrict travel and reduce the spread of the virus. The "Atlantic bubble" led to fewer cases …
Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between the 24-hour movement behaviours, including muscle and bone strengthening activity, with bone and lean mass from childhood to adolescence

South African government responses to Trump's Global Gag Rule
In 2017, Donald Trump signed the Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance (PLGHA), thereby reinstating the Global Gag Rule. The policy restricted all United States foreign funding from abortion-related activities. Little research reports the responses of recipients of this bilateral assistance. The study documents the South African government's responses to the PLGHA. We accessed Hansard parliamentary debates, interviewed four parliamentarians…
The Role of Toronto's Neighborhood Landscape Characteristics in Facilitating Outdoor Play During the Covid-19 Outbreak
This article explores the relationship of neighborhood landscape characteristics on outdoor play for children living in Toronto during the COVID-19 pandemic. We used a nation-wide online survey that reported changes in outdoor activities in and analyzed responses in relation to landscape affordances that facilitate outdoor play. Results show that living in areas with more landscape structures and higher population density is associated with great…
I’m going to change the Wifi password if you don't go outside!”
Introduction Parenting practices are an important influence on the movement behaviours of children. Parenting practices are shaped by various contextual factors (e.g., culture, sociodemographic, community) and are susceptible to external pressures, such as health crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. Situated within the revised Family Ecological Model, the purpose of this study was to qualitatively explore changes in parenting practices over time in…
Child and youth physical activity throughout the Covid-19 pandemic
Parent-Perceived Changes in Active Transportation and Independent Mobility among Canadian Children in Relation to the Covid-19 Pandemic
Children's active transportation (AT) and independent mobility (IM) can provide benefits for health and social development. Using data from two national surveys, we assessed parent-perceived changes in AT and IM among 5- to 17-year-olds in Canada since the outbreak of COVID-19. About half of parents reported no changes, but two to three times more parents reported declines compared to increases in AT and IM. We explored many potential correlates …
Regional differences in movement behaviours of children and youth during the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in Canada
You Can’t Go to the Park, You Can’t Go Here, You Can’t Go There”
The COVID-19 outbreak and related public health guidelines have changed the daily lives of Canadians and restricted opportunities for healthy movement behaviours for children. The purpose of this study was to explore how parents experienced the pandemic-related restrictions and how they impacted their children's movement behaviours. Methods : Twenty-nine semi-structured one-on-one interviews were conducted (June-July 2020) with parents of childre…
Adverse Effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Movement and Play Behaviours of Children and Youth Living with Disabilities
All children and youth require ample physical activity (PA), low levels of sedentary behaviour (SB), and adequate sleep to stay healthy. Children and youth living with disabilities (CYWD) tend to have fewer opportunities for participation in PA and outdoor play compared with their typically developing peers. In turn, CYWD are typically less active and more sedentary, on average, compared with their peers. The COVID-19 pandemic reduced opportuniti…
Impact of the Covid-19 virus outbreak on movement and play behaviours of Canadian children and youth
Understanding the Factors Influencing Junior Doctors’ Career Decision-Making to Address Rural Workforce Issues
Medical graduates' early career is known to be disorienting, and career decision-making is influenced by a complex set of factors. There is a strong association between rural background and rural undergraduate training and rural practice, and personal and family factors have been shown to influence workplace location, but the interaction between interest, training availability, and other work-relevant factors has not yet been fully explored. A qu…
Extending a Conceptual Framework for Junior Doctors’ Career Decision Making and Rural Careers
This study uses data from a Rural Clinical School of Western Australia (RCSWA) and WA Country Health (WACHS) study on rural work intentions among junior doctors to explore their internal decision-making processes and gain a better understanding of how junior doctors make decisions along their career pathway. This was a qualitative study involving junior doctor participants in postgraduate years (PGY) 1 to 5 undergoing training in Western Australi…
Exploring the relationship between adolescent biological maturation, physical activity, and sedentary behaviour
While this review demonstrates some evidence for early maturational timing as a risk factor for disengagement from physical activity and increase in sedentary behaviours, the reviewed literature also demonstrates that this relationship is complex. Future research that tracks maturity-related variations in physical activity and sedentary behaviours over adolescence is warranted

Improving spatial decision making using interactive maps
Spatial decisions increasingly are made by both professional and citizen stakeholders using interactive maps, yet few empirically-derived guidelines exist for designing interactive maps that support complex reasoning and decision making across problem contexts. We address this gap through an online map study with 122 participants with varying expertise. The study required participants to assume two hypothetical scenarios in the North American haz…
Return of the Repressed
Naturalist John Muir has often been criticized for his relative silence on the role of native peoples in occupying, forging, and tending the environments that he so often described as wilderness. His work is further marked by the absence of reflection on the elimination of native peoples from the land in and around the exact locales he revered most in his writing. Muir’s The Story of My Boyhood and Youth, published in 1912–1913, is an anomalous p…
Hazardous Aesthetics
This illustrated essay attempts to respond to the slow violence of the hazardous waste trade. We introduce and analyze common representational styles of hazardous waste: greenwashing, ruin porn, environmental justice toxic tours, and Ngai’s concept of the merely interesting. We argue that the first two styles tend to reproduce the status quo, but that the latter two are potentially more disruptive. We then turn to a data set about the transnation…
Generating anxiety, short-circuiting desire
While batteries are ubiquitous in modern life, they often go unnoticed; that is, until they stop working. Each time a battery dies and becomes waste, our modernist expectations of convenient, reliable energy sources, and our unexamined dependence on these volatile combinations of heavy metals, plastics, and chemical pastes is exposed. In this paper, we document and visualize battery waste flows across North America to reveal the anxiety-ridden pr…
Undermining methodological nationalism
Drawing on a novel dataset of hazardous waste shipments among Canada, Mexico, and the United States, we seek to enhance dominant modes of understanding transnational trading and regulation at the scale of the nation-state. We argue that these, while valuable, are limited by methodological nationalism. This epistemological position identifies the nation-state as the most relevant unit of analysis in examining "transnational" phenomena. In the case…
HazMatMapper
HazMatMapper is an online and interactive geographic visualization tool designed to facilitate exploration of transnational flows of hazardous waste in North America (http://geography.wisc.edu/hazardouswaste/map/). While conventional narratives suggest that wealthier countries such as Canada and the United States (US) export waste to poorer countries like Mexico, little is known about how waste trading may affect specific sites within any of the …
Ecological anxiety disorder
The quickly changing character of the global environment has predicated a number of crises in the sciences of biology and ecology. Specifically, the rapid rate of ecological change has led to the proliferation of novel ecologies. These unprecedented ecosystems and assemblages challenge the scientific, as well as cultural, core of many disciplines. This has led to divisive debates over what constitutes a 'natural' system state, and over what kinds…
Garbage matters
In this article, I critically review important concepts in new geographies of waste. I focus on both the conceptual frameworks that are used to examine issues concerning waste and the political possibilities produced by understanding waste differently. By plotting a range of concepts of waste along two axes – positive versus negative definitions of waste, and dualist versus relational concepts of waste and society – I contextualize scholarship on…
The Politics of Garbage in Oaxaca, Mexico
Municipal solid waste management (MSWM) and politics are common themes in environmental justice. However, insights garnered from the experience of the global north cannot be applied directly to the global south since local processes shape unique landscapes of waste. To this end, my fieldwork in Oaxaca de Juarez, a rapidly urbanizing city in southern Mexico, concentrates on the history and politics of MSWM in the area. Here, the livelihood struggl…
Forgotten Roots of the Green City
Subsistence gardens were a significant land use in the Columbus, Ohio metropolitan area from 1900 to 1940. Their existence, however, was materially erased from the city and discursively erased from its history after that period. This paper investigates the processes of that erasure, particularly in the American Addition neighborhood of Columbus, concentrating on the articulation of an urban normative that made such land uses appear contrary to "m…

School Gardens as Sites for Forging Progressive Socioecological Futures
In this article we approach school gardens as sites of socioecological change where experiential politics work through the establishment of sustainable and socially just practices. We argue that for some children in “struggling schools,” school gardens become spaces where the alienating aspects of neoliberal school reform in the United States can be overcome by forging connections with classmates, university students, plants, and animals. In thes…

The Excess of Modernity
In the last several decades, garbage strikes have taken place around the world. In this article, I examine the case of garbage strikes in Oaxaca, Mexico, a rapidly growing city. Here, garbage, which is normally considered a hazard, is revealed also to be an effective political tool for people demanding “rights to the city.” Processes of modernization that have produced an expectation of cleanliness in modern cities have, at the same time, relied …

Enhancing a Somatic Maturity Prediction Model
PURPOSE: Assessing biological maturity in studies of children is challenging. Sex-specific regression equations developed using anthropometric measures are widely used to predict somatic maturity. However, prediction accuracy was not established in external samples. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the fit of these equations, assess for overfitting (adjusting as necessary), and calibrate using external samples. METHODS: We evaluated potential overfitti…
Complex Interrelations of Trait Vulnerabilities in Mothers and their Infants
Despite the developmental and clinical relevance of this area of inquiry, no studies have examined the interrelations of trait vulnerabilities in the affective, behavioral, and interpersonal domains between mothers and their infants. Thus, this study examined the interrelations of three trait vulnerabilities (i.e., negative affective intensity, impulsivity, and insecure attachment) between mothers and their 12‐ to 23‐month‐old infants, focusing i…
