This is especially true in studies using GPS data\, w here human trajectories are described\, analyzed\, and related to relevant outcomes\, but which commonly fail to address the social and environmenta l mechanisms that impact movements. While it is impossible to fully unders tand the motivations of individuals\, theories exist to support geographer s in their use of trajectory data to conduct analyses that better get at r elevant underlying mechanisms.\n\nIn this talk\, Dr Widener will introduce the Food Activities\, Socioeconomics\, Time-use\, and Transportation (FAS TT) Study\, a project that integrates concepts of time geography with theo ries from food and health geographies. In March 2019\, FASTT collected tim e-use diaries\, GPS trajectory data\, and dietary/health questionnaires fr om partnered-parents in households from two Toronto neighbourhoods – one urban and one suburban. These data are used to explore questions about ti me pressure and dietary behaviour\, the division of food and household lab our\, and the role of the built environment in food shopping. He will pres ent findings from initial analyses and discuss implications for future wor k.\n\nAbout Dr Widener\nMichael J. Widener is a Canada Research Chair (Tie r 2) in Transportation and Health at the University of Toronto – St. Geo rge. He also serves as the Director of Health Studies at University Colleg e\, and as an Associate Professor in Geography and Planning\, with a cross -appointment in Epidemiology at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health. Ou tside of UofT\, Dr. Widener serves on various journals’ editorial boards \, is a member of CIHR’s College of Reviewers\, co-leads the Social and Health Factors Cluster of the Network of European Communication & Transpor tation Activity Researchers\, and co-chairs the Prioritizing Populations t heme of the Mobilizing Justice Partnership.\n\nDr. Widener is a health geo grapher whose research focuses on how public health affects\, and is affec ted by\, movement and transportation systems. His primary project at the m oment is an exploration of how time pressure\, transportation options\, an d divisions of household labour impact access to food and dietary behaviou rs. Additional studies are focused on the links between mobility\, mental health\, and isolation for older adult populations\, and on how advanced g eospatial technologies (like GPS) can be used to provide useful insights f or public health policy. In the classroom\, Dr. Widener teaches courses on geographic information science\, mapping health data\, and spatial statis tics at the undergraduate and graduate levels.\n\nExplore past seminars\nA ll MRC Epidemiology Unit seminars and events where slides\, audio or video are available can be found at www.mrc-epid.cam.ac.uk/past-seminars/\n\nSi gn up for future seminars\nTo sign up for future seminars and/or other ale rts please visit www.mrc-epid.cam.ac.uk/subscribe/\n\nYour information and preferences\nYou can update your preferences at any time via: www.mrc-epi d.cam.ac.uk/subscribe/\n\nOr unsubscribe from all future emails at www.mrc -epid.cam.ac.uk/unsubscribe/\n\nWe use your personal information to provid e you with the newsletter\, event and topic notifications you have selecte d above.
