Latest NewsRecent Publication Health Inequities in Canada: Intersectional Frameworks and Practices Edited by Dr Olena Hankivsky Unequal access to health care is a much-studied problem in Canada. Yet there is a growing sense that proposed remedies overlook the multiple forms of oppression that produce health inequities. This volume brings together activists, scholars, and community-based researchers to highlight the potential of intersectionality as a research paradigm for the health sciences. By applying existing theories of intersectionality to concrete cases and drawing on current practices and experiences to build new theories of intersectionality, the authors reveal how multiple variables -- race, class, and gender, religion, economics, and geography -- are influencing health and healing in Canada and beyond.
