With the Appalachian Trail (AT) as our research setting, grounded theory as our methodological approach, and qualitative interviews and archival analysis as our methods, we investigate the role crowdsourced data, social media, and smartphone apps could play in sustainable resource management (SRM). Centering the perspectives of AT resource managers, our analysis reveals that digital technologies can create new challenges and exacerbate existing ones. Place-centered challenges intensified by digital technologies are overcrowding and trail infrastructure degradation.

Background: Refugees' parenting behaviour is profoundly influenced by their mental health, which is, in turn, influenced by their situation of displacement.

Housing, health equity, and global capitalist power: Migrant farmworkers in Canada.

August 2024

Room 3306, FIMS & Nursing Building, Western University, London, Ontario, N6A 5B9, Canada.

Health scholars are becoming increasingly attuned to the intimate ties between a person's housing and their access to mental and physical health. However, existing models for understanding the link between housing and health equity do not adequately theorize why inequities arise and persist, who benefits from these social arrangements, and how they operate transnationally. How do domestic and global dynamics of political economy shape housing and health equity for migrant farmworkers? How can conceptual models of housing and health equity better account for political economy? To answer these conceptual questions, our study examines the empirical case of migrant agricultural workers in Canada.
