    Early-career experiences of TR practitioners in Australia, the United States, and Canada
    (2021) Gulamhusein, Shemine; Alford, Stewart; Hooker, Taylor
    The objective of this article is to draw attention to the negotiations and navigations of early-career practitioners within the discipline of therapeutic recreation (TR). Three of us, from Australia, Canada, and the United States, who are actively engaged in practice and scholarship, come together to discuss the challenges we each face to highlight the importance of local and global collaborations, and to critically account for the complexities of entering the TR field. Ultimately, this article aims to explore why a practitioner would commit to the profession of TR, and obtain and maintain a TR certification.

    Research recast(ed): S1E9 - A conversation with Dr. Shemine Gulamhusein
    (2021) Ekelund, Brittany; Cave, Dylan; Gulamhusein, Shemine
    Today we learn about the link between leisure and belonging, and we talk autoethnography with Dr. Shemine Gulamhusein, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Child and Youth Care at MacEwan University. With a background in therapeutic recreation, Shemine’s interdisciplinary research is driven by autoethnography and participatory action research, and she has several new projects underway aimed at understanding the recreational experiences of Canadian newcomers and how they relate to their spiritual identities. She also recently collaborated with Caroline Coyle, from the University of the Shannon, and other international colleagues to establish a Global Perspectives in Social Care/Child and Youth Care Symposium.

    Structural challenges and inequities in operating urban Indigenous early learning and child care programs in British Columbia
    (2021) Gerlach, Alison; Gulamhusein, Shemine; Varley, Leslie; Perron, Magnolia
    Funding for urban, not-for-profit Indigenous early learning and childcare (ELCC) programs has not kept pace with a rapidly growing urban Indigenous population, increasing operational costs, and the rights of Indigenous children. In British Columbia (BC), closure of a prominent Indigenous ELCC program prompted a study of some of the key factors influencing the operation of Indigenous ELCC programs in BC. This qualitative research highlights the priorities, concerns, and recommendations for supporting the operational success of urban, not-for-profit Indigenous ELCC programs and upholding the rights of Indigenous children. These findings have relevance for Indigenous ELCC programs that are facing operational challenges in BC and other jurisdictions in Canada.
