Millions of children in the world today suffer greatly in war torn and conflict. The role of the built environment has been overlooked in the study of children's resilience. The interdependent relationship between children and environment, examined as children's experience of place, can act as a lens from which we can view children's resilience in chaotic environments. This research explores a concept of place-based healing through understanding how children experience war from an environmental perspective. The study is based on three narrative accounts of young Iraqi women who have; as children, lived in unstable and war-torn environments. Their stories, gathered through interviews and prolonged correspondence, will, through an interpretive phenomenological analysis, attempt to uncover the deep meanings of resilience and its relationship to place-meanings, mainly through attachments, and what implications that might have on a more inclusive design for the healing child.

Our current global Food System is facing extraordinary challenges in both size and severity, including a rise in unsustainable consumption behaviours, continued environmental degradation, growing food insecurity, and widening social inequalities. A Food System transformation is now both critically important and overwhelmingly complex, requiring nothing less than a complete overhaul of the entire value chain. Everyone is needed: Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) with technological solutions, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) with social innovations, researchers with novel methodologies, governments with food policy advancements, professionals with varying expertise, and last but not least, empowered and informed citizens with the ability and resources for better decision-making.

Indigenous Peoples who use illicit drugs (IPWUID) are disproportionately represented among toxic drug poisoning deaths in Canada. These drug-related harms are framed by the historical and ongoing trauma related to settler colonialism and are acutely visible in Vancouver, Canada's Downtown Eastside - a low-income neighbourhood that is an epicenter of the drug poisoning crisis and characterized by entrenched poverty, substance use, violence, and homelessness. This study was undertaken to examine the experiences and perspectives of IPWUID in the Downtown Eastside regarding the drug poisoning crisis and the responsiveness of harm reduction programs within the context of settler colonialism.
