Methodological Reflections on Fieldwork in Sensitive Environmental Justice Research
This article provides a hands-on reflective account of fieldwork experiences involving marginalized communities hosting commercial large-scale gold mining activities. Drawing upon a project investigating the gendered dimensions and vulnerability contexts of environmental justice in Ghana’s extractive sector, the paper discusses the tensions and challenges in researching sensitive topics in marginalized communities. Drawing on my fieldwork experie…
Ghana’s educational system in the digital age
Burden without benefit
Communities hosting extractive activities are burdened with environmental costs. • We examine facets of procedural and distributive injustices in stone extraction. • We used qualitative in-depth interviews with key community stakeholders. • Meaningful local participation in environmental decisions is absent. • We recommend policies that capture community members’ views in decisions. Ghana’s strategy of partnering with multinational and transnatio…
Nexus between environmental justice and social work education
This paper addresses the imperative for social work educators and professionals to integrate environmental dimensions into curricula and field practice purposefully. Advocates argue that this integration is vital for the profession to effectively contribute to social and environmental justice. Despite these calls, there is a paucity of scholarly attention to the extent of environmental justice considerations in social work curricula. In response,…
Adapting to a new home
Resettlement and mental health services are critical support systems for refugee and immigrant youth (RIY) as they navigate the complexities of settling into their new homes. These services play a vital role in meeting the needs of RIY and helping them feel welcomed into Canadian society. The purpose of this study is to provide insight into RIY’s experiences with resettlement and mental health service providers in Montreal, Canada. Adopting a des…
‘ For the first time in my life, I am living in a home with separate lavatory and kitchen ’
There is evidence to suggest that effective planning and tailoring resettlement schemes to the circumstances of displaced population are more likely to satisfy the target population. In spite of this, the topic is not well explored in the developing countries. To address this research gap, we employed mixed methods to analyse surveys and interviews. We found that although the resettled population were satisfied with new typology of housing, they …
Informality and the politics of urban flood management
This paper explores reasons for unproductive urban flood management agendas in informal settlements. Does geography of informal settlements inform city-led flood management agendas? And in what ways have residents of informal settlements responded to city-led flood management approaches? The paper argues that the supposed city managers – both state institutions and professional bodies – have consistently acted in their own interest while successf…
Male Allyship within the Context of Local Governance
Location of forest reserves and sustainable natural resource management
Understanding the economic, socio-cultural, and environmental impacts of resettlement projects
Studies from the Global South on resettlement have focused on compensatory issues, with a little emphasis on socio-cultural, economic, and environmental impacts. The present study therefore focused on exploring the socio-cultural, economic, and environmental impacts of the Bui-Dam project in five resettled communities in Ghana. We used mixed methods to analyse household and qualitative in-depth interviews with institutions. We found that while re…
Exploring the effects of rapid urbanization on wetlands
Going Green” Rhetoric or Reality
Deforestation is a major environmental problem confronting countries in the Global South. In response to the high rate of deforestation, policymakers have over the years implemented a myriad of afforestation programmes. This study sought to assess the prospects and challenges of Ghana’s Youth in Afforestation Programme. The data used for this study was collected from 60 recruits of the afforestation programme. The researchers also relied on insti…
Assessing the practicality of the Covid-19 social distancing guidelines to the urban poor in the Ghanaian context
Globally, the novel coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has brought to the fore enormous challenges for policy makers, particularly, as they relate to economic and public health systems. The already weakened global economic situation will be exacerbated by future uncertainties if pragmatic and innovative policies are not put in place to control the spread of the virus and minimize the socio-economic impact of the disease. To slowdown the spread of th…
Unpacking the moderating role of age and gender in the belief–behaviour link
In Ghana, water resources represent a symbol of cultural authority, spiritual strength and a major source of wealth and power. To preserve these resources, taboos and customary practices were instituted as precepts in precolonial Ghanaian societies to regulate access. However, recent studies claim that the proliferation of Western religions has significantly diminished the potency of these centuries-long belief systems, with a potential impact on…
Do socio-demographic groups report different attitudes towards water resource management? Evidence from a Ghanaian case study
Understanding the influence of socio-demographic factors on attitudes towards water pollution mitigation measures could help provide good pointers in the design of effective water resources management policies. Yet, very few studies have examined this in the developing country context. Using quantitative methods to analyse survey data from Ghana, the main goal of the current study was to determine whether socio-demographic groups report different…
Locational analysis of slums and the effects of slum dweller’s activities on the social, economic and ecological facets of the city
What matters most? Stakeholders’ perceptions of river water quality
Contextualizing the effects of stone quarrying
