Listen to this soundwork created by Matthew Horrigan (Simon Fraser University) in our newest issue no. 230 (Summer 2026)!

This audio essay connects the work of Susan Joan Wood and William Gibson with Vancouver's history of trauma-images. The essay uses a soundscape hypermediated through feedback processing to symbolize the recursive process of abstraction by which the production of cyberspace embedded material histories.

This podcast in our newest issue no. 230 is created by Susan Frohlick (UBC Okanagan) and Nassim Zand Dizar (UBC Okanagan), and raises the broad question of why sound matters in tourism, understood as episodic or transitory relations of co-existence and as territories, worlds, and spaces co-inhabited yet often frictious.

This article in our newest issue no. 230 (Summer 2026) is written by Kirsten Mah (Capital Regional District) and Sarah Marie Wiebe (University of Victoria), and seeks to respond to the heat dome crisis British Columbia experienced the summer of 2021. In response, this paper presents a mixed methods participatory action research approach, including a survey of residents (N=325) in the Capital Regional District of Victoria and seven sharing circles with priority populations who were especially vulnerable to extreme heat to learn from their lived-experiences and co-generate recommendations for policy-makers.
