Coming together enabled adaptive capacity in responding to the Whakaari /White Island eruption
Rewilding Gender
This commentary reframes gender and rewilding through a relational understanding of wildness. Moving beyond a binary lens of ‘the wild’, it examines how gendered relations shape rewilding's material, emotional, and epistemic dimensions. Centring relational wildness exposes how rewilding challenges masculine imaginaries of control and ownership while opening space for more equitable multispecies relations
Multi-Ethnic, Multisource Grounded Theory
Equity in healthcare is the ideal state where everyone shares equal rights and opportunities. To date, research methodologies are limited in their scope to translate into more equitable healthcare policies and practices. We present a re-interpreted grounded theory methodology to contribute to active dialogue toward optimizing equity through research. This re-interpreted research methodology is presented within a study investigating why ethnic dis…
Conducting a Grounded Theory Study in the Wake of a Traumatic Event
Aims To explore the perspectives of people who worked at Whakatāne Hospital during and following a mass casualty event from the Whakaari/White Island eruption in New Zealand. Background The eruption of Whakaari / White Island on December 09th, 2019, significantly impacted many people in New Zealand and internationally. Whakatāne Hospital, a rural hospital in New Zealand, received a mass casualty alert in response to this event. Whakaari holds gen…
The process of ratifying the treaty to establish the African Medicines Agency
The vision of the African Medicines Agency (AMA) is to ensure that all Africans have access to affordable medical products that meet internationally recognized standards of quality, safety and efficacy for priority diseases/conditions. The AMA is being established by a treaty which had to be ratified by a minimum of 15 African countries. Although there was no deadline, the ratification process has been slower than expected. This study therefore a…
Impactful co-design
Our study sought to understand adult decision-makers' views on what was important for actualising children's ideas using co-design, towards creating health-promoting local environments. Ten adult decision-makers, experienced in co-design with children aged 5-13 years in Aotearoa New Zealand, participated in individual interviews. We generated three themes (Empowering children within co-design; Being intentional about children's influence; Curatin…
Conceptualization of Co-Creation, Co-Design and Co-Production with Children for Health-Promoting Physical Environments
This scoping review identified 36 peer-reviewed studies that used a co-creation, co-design or co-production process with children (0-17 years) to understand and/or influence the physical (built or natural) environment. We examined conceptualizations of child participation and of "co" processes. Our findings highlight the opportunity for developing and improving use of child participation models; how children and childhood are viewed by adults inv…
Combining action research and grounded theory in health research
Action research and grounded theory are popular methodologies in qualitative health research. The aim of this structured narrative review was to develop a contemporary understanding of combining action research and grounded theory. We searched Web of Science Core Collection and Google Scholar for empirical peer-reviewed articles that used both methodologies in a health- or healthcare-focused study. We identified 28 studies published from 2004 to …
Experiences of parents whose children participated in a longitudinal follow‐up study
BACKGROUND: Long-term follow-up is necessary to understand the impact of perinatal interventions. Exploring parents' motives and experiences in consenting to their children taking part in longitudinal studies and understanding what outcomes are important to families may enhance participation and mitigate the loss to follow-up. As existing evidence is largely based on investigators' perspectives using Western samples, the present pilot study explo…
More-Than-Human
A disconnect between children's ideas and their incorporation into environmental design, in the context of rapid urbanisation and climate crises, compelled us to reflect on children's meaningful participation in positive environmental change. Our research aimed to bring new knowledge to the fore using a participatory, child-centred approach to understanding children's perceptions of health and health-promoting neighbourhoods in Aotearoa New Zeala…
Auto-rewilding in Post-industrial Cities
The last forty years have seen a dramatic increase in the number of great cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo) moving inland away from British coastlines. Britain's largest inland colony currently reside at Walthamstow Wetlands, a nature reserve and functional reservoir system in northeast London, recently branded ‘Europe's largest urban wetland'. Here, great cormorants are embroiled in contested ideas of nature. Celebrated by conservationists for th…
Mapping careful epidemiology
As a geographical tool, epidemiology represents a distinct way of seeing and knowing disease. Used as a governmental rationality to control animal disease, changes in epidemiological practice have been understood as technological evolutions. In doing so, however, this view disguises the "messy realities" of epidemiology, the relationship between different epidemiological practices, and the work required to make epidemiology "matter." Drawing on a…
English Children's Respectful Reflections of the Rights and Lives of their Kenyan Peers
In 2002 a UK Government initiative enabled the fostering of links between UK school children and school children in Low and Middle Income Countries through the shared Just Like You project about health and rights. This manuscript reports English children's perspectives on the lives of their peers in Kenya, whose school link began in 2007. Data were gathered and analysed in 2014 via six focus groups with 132 children. The result was a constructed …

Geographies of folded life
‘Lost’
Research into the mental health needs of asylum seekers and refugees has revealed that they are likely to experience poorer mental health as well as higher levels of exclusion and vulnerability than native populations. This paper reports on data drawn from semi-structured interviews of 21 refugees and asylum seekers that describe the complexity experienced by those living in exile, and the necessity for a more integrated and holistic approach in …
