Summary: The research found an uneven focus on Indigenous health issues in Canadian Graduate Public Health Programs, with some positive changes in the curriculum but still a lack of willingness among non-Indigenous (white) professors to educate themselves and take responsibility. However, there is a desire among graduate students to obtain relevant competencies in their training.

Summary: The growing unease over settler colonial history has transformed security claims into controversial and racist sources, leading public officials to distance themselves from these claims through denials, apologies, and euphemisms. This unease has made security practices targeting indigenous communities appear increasingly illegitimate, even though some figures may still actively court controversy or make these claims in private or internal conversations.

Summary: Despite increased attention to the health outcomes of Indigenous peoples, health inequities persist. Analytical frameworks that can analyze power and domination in an integrated systems approach are lacking but essential for driving change. Narratives offer Indigenous perspectives on systems thinking, but often go unnoticed in health system theorizing. Recent theorizing in systems thinking provides a conceptual toolkit for examining health systems with a focus on settler colonialism's ongoing histories and their impact on vulnerability, risks, and poor health outcomes.

Summary: In the current era of rural mobilities and economic restructuring, the ethnic and racial compositions of rural towns in the Anglophone world of the Global North have undergone significant transformations. The concepts of 'everyday multiculturalism' and 'convivialities' have become crucial in understanding the complex social relationships and sense of belonging in rural areas, but there is a risk of neglecting the impact of colonial legacies on racialized and classed hierarchies of belonging.

Summary: This article explores the impact of White identity and White settlers' attitudes towards Indigenous peoples on Canadian politics. The study found that White identity is associated with support for policies that disproportionately benefit White Canadians, while Indigenous resentment is associated with opposition to policies perceived as benefiting Indigenous peoples. Additionally, the study found that both White identity and anti-Indigenous attitudes are related to voting behavior, except in Quebec where White identity is more likely to support the Bloc Quebecois.

Summary: Liaison policing strategies are increasingly used in Canada as a frontline response to Indigenous-settler land disputes, combining preemptive interventions, intelligence gathering, and best practices in public order and community policing. Despite their rapid increase, little is known about how these strategies are employed as a technique of settler colonial governance. By tracking a four-year case study in Ottawa, the author shows how liaison strategies constrained radical organizing while facilitating Indigenous engagement in state-sanctioned processes of recognition and accommodation.

Summary: This study found that bullying and cyberbullying were associated with increased psychological distress among Indigenous youth living in First Nations communities in Canada, with a stronger impact on females. Feelings of community belonging were directly related to lower distress levels and buffered the relationships between bullying/cyberbullying and distress. Participation in community cultural events sometimes resulted in lower distress levels for those who experienced cyberbullying. However, the perceived importance of traditional cultural events did not buffer the associations between bullying/cyberbullying and distress.

Summary: This study suggests that curiosity can be a useful tool in increasing demand for and engagement with aversive health information. By manipulating curiosity through various methods, researchers found that participants were more likely to view and engage with information about their drinking habits, cancer risk, and the sugar content in drinks. Overall, curiosity prompts provide a simple and effective way to increase engagement with aversive health information.

Summary: This paper examines the contribution of pilot implementation studies to the wider spread and sustainability of innovation in healthcare systems. Through an empirical examination of an innovation intermediary organization in the English NHS, the study finds that their work in mobilizing pilot-based evidence involves configuring to context, transitioning evidence, and managing the transition. The findings contribute to theory by showing how intermediary roles can support the effective transitioning of pilot-based evidence, leading to more widespread adoption and sustainability of innovation.
