Photography-Based Methods in Substance Use Research
Photographic arts-based methods (PABM) hold significant potential in substance use research, as they can support visual expression, participatory engagement, and nuanced understandings of lived experience. However, the methodological and ethical literature on PABM in substance use contexts remains fragmented, and the challenges associated with their implementation have not been systematically reviewed. In this scoping review, we addressed this ga…
"Ain’t Got No Dream"
"Ain’t Got No Dream" is a 3-minute song that incorporates findings from the Transformative Compassion project as a means of knowledge mobilization. The project explored the meanings of compassion for 2S/LGBTQ+ Canadians through semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed through Foucauldian discourse analysis. Overall, findings suggest that compassion can open new possibilities for 2S/LGBTQ+ individuals within cis-heteronormative contexts. The…

Arts-based research (ABR) includes research approaches that utilize creative arts, such as photo-taking and film, during various phases of the research process. The dominant paradigm informing ABR draws from features of participatory action research, supporting participants to become active in the research process, engaging critically with research questions. While dominant knowledge systems informing social research paradigms offer a foundation …

Food insecurity, defined as limited or uncertain access to safe and nutritious food, is a critical yet underexplored issue among gay men in India. This qualitative study, informed by hermeneutic phenomenology, explored how food insecurity is experienced and understood by a small sample of self-identifying gay men living in India. In-depth interviews were conducted online with five participants from different regions of the country. Thematic analy…
Rethinking 2S/LGBTQI+ food security with co-design
Context: In Canada, recent statistics show that 8.7 million Canadians face food insecurity which disproportionately affects people of the 2S/LGBTQI+ communities. Food insecurity is intersectional: people belonging to one or more marginalized groups, like 2S/LGBTQI+, are at greater risk. Moreover, food security resources can pose due to the stigma and cis-heterosexism associated with the religious basis of some of these resources. Exploring ways t…

While considerable research has been completed with birthing parents, the breadth of work that has been conducted on non‐birthing parents is not known. The objective of this scoping review was to identify and analyze the literature on parenting self‐efficacy in non‐birthing parents …

Being a good boy
Puppy play is a kink activity, in which people dress as, take on the role of, and mimic the physical and emotional behaviours of young canines or pups. We explore how the pup identity, depicted in cellphilms by queer men who are part of the pup community, influences men's body image perceptions using multimodal critical discourse analysis. Participants expressed feelings of dissonance, shame, and self-rejection when viewing themselves as humans, …

Sponsored Facebook advertisements for Ozempic were collected throughout December 2024, with 12 ads analyzed through Foucauldian discourse analysis. This analysis identifies three interrelated discursive constructs: (1) Santa Takes Ozempic, (2) Ozempic as the…
Are Queer Men Queering Consent? A Scoping Review of Sexual Consent Literature Among Gay, Bisexual, Trans, and Queer Men
Objectives: To review the literature on Gay, Bisexual, Trans, and Queer (GBTQ) men and sexual consent. Methods: Eight electronic databases were searched in June 2022, yielding 1924 articles; 30 were included for review after screening. Results: We found a growing body of literature focused on GBTQ men, with an increasingly intersectional lens. Most studies adopted a nuanced definition of sexual consent.

Blossoming From the Mud
Individuals who identify as Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (2SLGBTQ+) frequently encounter discrimination, stigma, harassment, and violence. Despite the prevailing influences of cis-heteronormative narratives, 2SLGBTQ+ individuals often encounter support, love, kindness, acceptance, and compassion in their everyday lives. The aim of the research was to explore how compassion can be a catalyst for societal change. Throu…
Pulling at All Threads
Multimodal critical discourse analysis is a dynamic approach to qualitative data analysis that expands critical discourse analysis to include multiple communicative modes-such as images, graphics, video, and sound/music-into the semiotic analysis of ideology and power relations within contemporary forms of communication. We reflect on the potential of multimodal critical discourse analysis to be combined with arts-based health research as an anal…
Compassionately fat
The concept that queer scholars hold a shared responsibility for all queer people forms the driving inspiration for this exploration at the juncture of queerness and fatness. We advocate that cultivating compassion can be a way for queer fat people to engage in new relations with their embodiment that reflect the tenets of fat social justice. Drawing from fat activists of color and fat studies scholars, our relationships with our bodies are polit…
Shame and Disavowing Queer Reality
Stigma has been defined as a spoiled identity, a branding that sets a person outside the norm, with potential to elicit feelings of shame. The authors recount firsthand experiences of having felt shame in connection with their queer identities and the disavowal this provoked, until such time as they met serendipitously as researchers with related interests and began sharing memories of being queer in a cis-heteronormative society. Two stories, il…
Queerness and Queer Subjectivities in Home Economics
Home economics is a diverse helping field that includes the areas of child development and education, nutrition, cooking, and the dietetics profession. Historically, these fields have been the domain of heterosexual cisgender women, with research and discussions of queerness limited. In this article, using queer methodologies and a queer autobiographical writing approach, we explore our experiences as two queer individuals who teach in discipline…

North American Undergraduate Students' Sexual Orientation Beliefs
Societal beliefs about various aspects of sexual orientation have been shown to influence whether people have discriminatory or supportive attitudes toward diverse sexual orientations. The overall aim of this study is to measure the beliefs about sexual orientation among a diverse sample of university students from two institutions in Canada and the United States of America. Specifically, we explored how beliefs varied among individuals with diff…
Wired Sex Assemblages Among Men Who Have Sex with Men
Sexualized drug use is a form of sexual practice that resists risk-based discourses (otherwise referred to as "radical sex practices") and is reportedly common among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM). With the growth of online technologies, the use of hookup apps has also increased. We refer to men's use of drugs, apps, and sex form as "wired sex" that forms what post-structuralist theorists Deleuze and Guattari described …
Bodies becoming art
The ways gay men navigate socially constructed body tensions are explored through a post-structural lens. Nine self-identifying gay men in Canada used photovoice to create images that expressed their beliefs, values and practices about their bodies. Participants took part in semi-structured interviews to discuss the meanings of their images. Three discursive considerations were created from the analysis of both interviews and the photographs. Par…

Compassionate Discourses
Compassion can be seen as a necessary, but often lacking, concept and practice in healthcare. Due to the cis-heteronormative nature of societies, people who identify as Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (2SLGBTQ+) often experience health disparities and disparities in accessing compassionate healthcare. We aimed to explore the meanings of compassion in healthcare for Canadian 2SLGBTQ+ people. Using a poststructuralist framewo…

Grinding against HIV discourse
Social networking applications (SNAs), such as Grindr, are shaping the identities and sexual practices of gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBM). This qualitative study aimed to gain a deeper understanding of the role of such technologies in social sexual practices, particularly in relation to risk management and prevention of HIV and other sexually transmitted blood-borne infections (STBBIs). Poststructuralism and queer theory w…
The use of photo elicitation to explore the benefits of queer student advocacy groups in university
University can be a critical time for queer identifying youth as they attempt to navigate new relationships and heteronormative and, sometimes, hostile environments. Involvement in queer student groups is one strategy to develop protective mechanisms for these students. This research examines the effect of participation in a queer advocacy group at a local university in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, using a qualitative photo elicitation method. F…

Queer considerations
The use of social media platforms (such as Facebook) for research recruitment has continued to increase, especially during the global COVID-19 pandemic. Social media enables researchers to reach diverse communities that often do not have their voices heard in research. Social media research recruitment, however, can pose risks to both potential participants and the researchers. This topic paper presents ethical considerations related to social me…
A journey of gender in health
Sex and gender are determinants of health outcomes across an individual’s life course. However, often in health research and practice, sex and gender considerations are either overlooked or confounded. Recent developments in health research and practice ask for the inclusion of sex and gender considerations within health research and practice. This article is a reaction to these calls. It explores the ways in which an international team of health…
