Exploring intersections of climate justice and tourism through Indigenous perspectives
No full textBobbie will share insights and stories from her postdoctoral research journey over the last year that has focused on the intersection of Indigenous communities, tourism and climate justice. Since 2023, Bobbie served as the lead author and researcher for a report released in July 2024 entitled, Climate Justice and Tourism: An Introductory Guide. This project brought together an international research team and canvassed voices of tourism stakeholders impacted by climate crises from diverse areas of the globe. Key insights from this report, including a focus on fairness and equity in both emissions and adaptation within tourism contexts, will be shared. The second part of Bobbie\u27s talk will address the more critical lens that Bobbie has brought to understandings of climate justice by focusing on the impacts of transition metal mining on Indigenous communities and tourism. Based on fieldwork, workshops and visits across Bolivia, Chile, and Panama, Bobbie shares insights about how the drive to extract \u27transition\u27 minerals that are key for decarbonizing technologies is actually putting at risk Indigenous relationships to Country, culture and plans for community tourism

Indigenous perspectives on transition minerals, the green economy and climate justice
No full textThis presentation provides an overview of recent conversations, fieldwork and journeys with Native communities across US Indian Country focused on Indigenous perspectives towards transition minerals and the green economy. With the move to electric vehicles being touted as the cornerstone of policies aimed at reducing carbon and tackling climate change, this transition has spurred a new boom in mining of transition minerals, including metals like lithium, cobalt, copper and nickel. The majority of these newly coveted minerals and plans for sourcing them through mining are located on Indigenous lands, whether across US Indian Country or in other countries around the world, including in Latin America. As a contributing author to Cultural Survival quarterly magazine, Bobbie has been writing short stories on this topic aimed at highlighting the diverse perspectives of Indigenous communities towards these minerals and the purported solution they represent as a step towards reversing climate change

Why poor quality of ethnicity data should not preclude its use for identifying disparities in health and healthcare
No full textBackground: Data of quality are needed to identify ethnic disparities in health and healthcare and to meet the challenges in governance of race relations. Yet concerns over completeness, accuracy and timeliness have been long-standing and inhibitive with respect to the analytical use of the data.
Aims: To identify incompleteness of ethnicity data across routine health and healthcare datasets and to investigate the utility of analytical strategies for using data that is of suboptimal quality.
Methods: An analysis by government office regions of ethnicity data incompleteness in routine datasets and a comprehensive review and evaluation of the literature on appropriate analytical strategies to address the use of such data.
Results: There is only limited availability of ethnically coded routine datasets on health and healthcare, with substantial variability in valid ethnic coding: although a few have high levels of completeness, the majority are poor (notably hospital episode statistics, drug treatment data and non-medical workforce). In addition, there is also a more than twofold regional difference in quality. Organisational factors seem to be the main contributor to the differentials, and these are amenable-yet, in practice, difficult-to change. This article discusses the strengths and limitations of a variety of analytical strategies for using data of suboptimal quality and explores how they may answer important unresolved questions in relation to ethnic inequalities.
Conclusions: Only by using the data, even when of suboptimal quality, and remaining close to it can healthcare organisations drive up quality
