Oasis is a program co-developed by older adults to strengthen and sustain their communities to support aging in place. The Oasis Evaluation and Expansion research team has been working with Oasis communities since 2018 to expand the program across Canada and to evaluate a number of health and well-being outcomes. This photo depicts a mural that represents the power of communities coming together. Each square of this mural was designed by an Oasis member from communities across Kingston and Belleville. Together, these squares form the Oasis logo, which was designed by members of the original Oasis community.

Youth and Urban Renewal

Sub-Saharan Africa is urbanizing rapidly, and young people make up >70% of the population in the majority of African cities. Combined with the fact that there is an emphasis on urban renewal projects and expansion of global investment in sub-Saharan Africa, exploring the relationship between youth and the new urban economy is critical to addressing issues of socio-political stability and sustainable development in sub-Saharan Africa.

Inclusive Security and Military Practice

Armed conflicts are breaking out all over the world, but military operations are failing to bring about lasting peace. New conflict-resolution techniques — such as giving women an equal voice in peace talks — could provide better long-term solutions.

Learning from the Land

The transmission and documentation of traditional knowledge and skills is of great importance to Inuit, especially considering the continuing social, environmental, and economic changes in the Arctic. I am examining how Inuit traditional knowledge is generated and shared through a case study of an existing project in Ulukhaktok called Nunamin Illihakvia, which means "learning from the land" in Inuinnaqtun. Participants from other Inuvialuit communities were invited to travel to Ulukhaktok in February 2020 to participate in cultural activities that promoted discussion on what a cultural learning program should include. This photo shows our first trip out on Queen's Bay together.
