Moving Beyond “Inclusion” and Towards “Transformation”
“Inclusive” research has long been championed by scholars and activists in the fields of critical disability and critical gerontology. Despite this, there remain gaps in knowledge, with a notable paucity of research on the intersection of old age and neurodiversity. Debates persist regarding what counts as “inclusive” and how to assess the catalytic and transformative potential of “inclusive” research beyond the level of rhetoric, particularly in…
We want our own data!’
Community accountability is a model through which to redress anti-Black racism in health care and to create community-based participatory research about the health of Black Canadians. This article provides a case example of a study undertaken by a Black community collective in Quebec made up of researchers, activists, service providers, business leaders and their allies who sought community accountability in making visible the impact of COVID-19 …
Between loneliness and belonging
Research points to a higher risk for social isolation and loneliness among new immigrant and refugee older adults. Our article draws from a research project that explored the everyday stories of ageing among 19 diverse immigrant older adults in Canada. To capture their experiences of loneliness and social isolation, we use four illustrative cases derived from a structural approach to life-story narrative. To these we apply the intersectional life…
Advance Care Planning among Older Gay Men Living with HIV in Montreal, Canada
This qualitative study employed a cross sectional focus group design to explore how older gay men living with HIV, experience, perceive, and engage with advance care planning (ACP). Seven gay men 50+, residing in Montreal, Canada, participated in a focus group that was audio-recorded, transcribed, and thematically analyzed. Findings suggested that social isolation, preoccupations with day-to-day living, and managing disclosures related to sexual …
A Framework for Enhancing Access to Equitable Home Care for 2SLGBTQ+ Communities
Canadian, US, and UK public health and clinical research has identified barriers to health service access for Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, non-binary, and intersex (2SLGBTQ+) communities. While offering important insight into the health service experiences of 2SLGBTQ+ communities, this body of research only recently, and still only minimally, reports on home care access experiences. Drawing on key findings from the 2SLG…
I’ve always been the one who drops everything”
Based on findings from a Canadian-based study, this article examines the stories of young adult women carers. Young adult women caring for a parent or grandparent were interviewed using social network maps, participant-driven photography and care timelines. The findings reveal numerous impacts on the women’s lives, which we categorise according to three temporal periods: the past (how they came to be carers); the present (their daily realities of…
Intergenerational Care in the Context of Migration
This article, reporting on a Canadian-based research project, tells the stories of three first- and second-generation, racialized, young women from immigrant families in order to illuminate their unique realities of intergenerational care and to better understand the role of gender, racialization, and migration in shaping their lived experiences of care. Using a feminist-informed adaption to the intersectional life-course approach, we explore the…
Situating the life story narratives of aging immigrants within a structural context
Research on racialized older immigrants does not fully acknowledge the interplay between the life course experiences of diverse populations and the structural conditions that shape these experiences. Our research team has developed the intersectional life course perspective to enhance researchers' capacity to take account of the cumulative effects of structural discrimination as people experience it throughout the life course, the meanings that p…
The intimate lives of older adults living with HIV
Older adults living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are at risk of experiencing difficulties in their intimate lives due to the combined effects of HIV and ageing. To date, little research has focused on the lived experience of sexuality. This article seeks to fill in the gap by documenting the challenges faced by this population with respect to their intimate relationships and sexual lives. Based upon the results of a qualitative study c…
Understanding the experiences of racialized older people through an intersectional life course perspective
The Impact of Caregiving
Using an adapted phenomenological approach, the current study explores older women’s stories about the ways in which providing care to their spouse or partner has affected their sexual and intimate lives. Findings suggest that older women’s sexual identities and experiences of sexuality are marked by both ageist constructions of “older woman as asexual” and loss of self associated with taking on the role of caregiver. Findings also suggest that w…
Ageing with HIV/Aids
The population of people aged 50 and over represents a significant proportion of people living with HIV in Western nations. While the number of older people living with HIV is rapidly increasing in Canada, research originating in this country remains relatively scarce. This article therefore proposes to describe the impact of the intersection of HIV and ageing on the identities and lived experiences of people living with HIV of 50 and over (PLHIV…
Identity, Refugeeness, Belonging
Cet article explore les résultats d'un projet de recherche communautaire qualitatif sur les expériences intersectionnelles des réfugiés minorités sexuelles vivant à Montréal et Toronto. Menée entre 2007 à 2010, cette étude a examiné les expériences des réfugiés minorités sexuelles, incluent leur immigration au Canada ainsi que leur processus de détermination du statut de réfugié. Nous étudions la façon dont les mesures politiques sur les réfugiés…
Exploring the promises of intersectionality for advancing women's health research
Women's health research strives to make change. It seeks to produce knowledge that promotes action on the variety of factors that affect women's lives and their health. As part of this general movement, important strides have been made to raise awareness of the health effects of sex and gender. The resultant base of knowledge has been used to inform health research, policy, and practice. Increasingly, however, the need to pay better attention to …
Northern Enlightenment
Social workers have an ethical and professional responsibility to promote social justice and equality for oppressed groups, including sexual minorities. Advocating for the legal recognition of same-sex marriage is one way to enact this responsibility. The legal recognition of same-sex marriage is a significant accomplishment toward equality for gay and lesbian Canadians—one in which the social work profession played a role by presenting a legisla…
Prendre soin en contexte d’immigration récente. Les limites aux solidarités familiales à l’égard des membres de la famille avec incapacités1
Plusieurs recherches ont porté sur les solidarités à l’égard des proches avec incapacités chez les familles de minorités ethnoculturelles. Ces recherches ont permis de constater une grande valorisation des solidarités familiales, une prestation importante de soins et un faible recours aux services chez ces familles. Toutefois, la plupart des recherches ont porté soit sur des groupes d’immigration ancienne, soit sur des groupes mixtes, ce qui ne p…
The Health and Social Service Needs of Gay and Lesbian Elders and Their Families in Canada

DESIGN AND METHODS: This study used a qualitati…
The limits of multiculturalism in elder care services
Reclaiming Space-Regaining Health
This paper documents the experiences of Two-Spirit people, both within society generally and in the context of health and health care. Findings of a national qualitative research study on gay, lesbian, bisexual, and Two-Spirit people's health care are reported with particular attention placed upon Two-Spirit people's notions of identity and community, the meaning of health, and the experience of health care barriers within and outside of Aborigin…
Ethnic and Lesbian
Canadian lesbians of ethnic ancestry experience many identity struggles as a result of being in multiple situations within both their own ethnic communities and their chosen lesbian communities. The case study presented here used a life-history approach to explore these dynamics. The life and experiences of one lesbian of ethnic ancestry are examined to highlight the usefulness of the life-history method in uncovering the complex realities that e…
