This current funded scholarship continues my longstanding interest in the everyday geographies of families; a critical analysis of the spaces and places that structure and influence the resources and behaviours of families, and which families actively re-structure and re-shape to fulfil their needs. Changing Geographies of Care: Using Therapeutic Landscapes as a Framework to Understand How Families with Medically Complex Children Participate in Communities. Building Age-Friendly Communities, Promoting Active Aging. The Photograph at the Zoo: Family Building in Leisure Spaces, Places and Time. UM/SSHRC.
Care and Consumption: Department Store Restaurants as Social Environments Department store restaurants can be understood as concrete expressions of the growth of consumerism and of evolving gender roles and norms in the 19th and 20th centuries. They are of interest to geographers as sites/locations of consumption, social interaction and gender performance. Two research questions frame the project: 1) Does the historical creation and use of department store restaurants reflect the rise of consumer capitalism and prevailing gender norms, and; 2) Who are the current users of department store restaurants? Why and how do they use these spaces/places? What meanings do these spaces/places have for them? These questions are being investigated initially with a case study of The Paddlewheel Restaurant in the downtown Hudson Bay Store in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
