The kids are not alright: Children as objects, audience, and agents in the 2022 Canadian convoy protests Can. Geogr. (IF 1.482) Pub Date : 2024-02-23 Jamey Essex
Children figure prominently in far‐right movements, ideologies, and conspiracy theories as innocent targets of nefarious and decadent forces, unwitting symbols of social and political decay, and potentially dangerous objects of moral panic. Far‐right movements thus map a wide‐ranging network of concerns about immigration, race, public health, education, and globalization onto children's bodies and

Social housing stigma in Toronto: Identifying asymmetries between stereotypes and statistical actualities of health, crime, and human capital Can. Geogr. (IF 1.482) Pub Date : 2023-12-01 Lindi Jahiu
Research on social housing stigma has proliferated due to growing concern over the effects of territorial stigmatization. The stereotyping of social housing as a site of ill-health, criminality, and low human capital stems from empirically ambiguous narratives created and recirculated through popular modes (e.g., social media platforms, news coverage). This paper combines principal component analysis

In light of transit: Documenting the scales of urban change along the LRT line in Hamilton, Ontario Can. Geogr. (IF 1.482) Pub Date : 2023-10-13 Rebecca Mayers, Nicole Rallis, Brian Doucet, Caleb Babin
Large-scale transit projects, such as light rail, are transformational for cities due to their ability to attract investment, curb sprawl, and intensify urban areas. In part because of enhancements to the public realm and improved connectivity, areas along new transit lines witness significant growth and investment, making them less affordable for residents already there. However, very little research

(Re)purposing cadasters: When ecclesiastical archives advocate for Indigenous land rights Can. Geogr. (IF 1.482) Pub Date : 2023-09-20 Léa Denieul-Pinsky
This paper reflects on the potential and limits of repatriating state-sanctioned historical materials and repurposing them as “counter-archives” for Indigenous communities. This proposal aligns itself with the epistemic shift in archival studies which promotes a processual approach to archiving (archive-as-subject) rather than an extractive one (archive-as-source). Instead of taking colonial archives
