Ella Hunter recently presented Public Health Governance research she participated in at St Francis Xavier University’s Student Research Day 2025. Ella’s work focused on analysis of focus group participant responses on community wellness and public health, as well as data extraction of literature on Canadian’s experiences with public health from 2019-2024. She had a very busy evening and won the Service Learning prize for her poster presentation!
In preparation for the Technoscience and Regulation Research Unit (TRRU) Public Health Governance’s focus groups, we have been working on background information about the Canadian public’s perceptions of public health within the CIHR funded co-investigator’s team by exploring the use of secondary analysis of qualitative research, as well as a more conventional literature review. We presented our work at the CPHA 2024 in Halifax, April 23-25, 2024. This meant too many references for the poster! – They and the poster are below:
The book provides a framework to think about how standards are created, resisted, and re-developed by communities. It includes many ethnographic case studies; from stem-cell and protemics labs, through ebola crisis, to indigenous environmental and child welfares cases.
It was a privilege to think through what standards meant with talented folks working in many different areas. The book has been featured on a recent Queensland University of Technology blog
We celebrated the book’s coming out as part of a CASCA 2021 panel:
