This is especially true in studies using GPS data\, where human trajectories are described\, analyzed\, and related to releva nt outcomes\, but which commonly fail to address the social and environmen tal mechanisms that impact movements. While it is impossible to fully unde rstand the motivations of individuals\, theories exist to support geograph ers in their use of trajectory data to conduct analyses that better get at relevant underlying mechanisms.\n\nIn this talk\, Dr Widener will introdu ce the Food Activities\, Socioeconomics\, Time-use\, and Transportation (F ASTT) Study\, a project that integrates concepts of time geography with th eories from food and health geographies. In March 2019\, FASTT collected t ime-use diaries\, GPS trajectory data\, and dietary/health questionnaires from partnered-parents in households from two Toronto neighbourhoods – o ne urban and one suburban. These data are used to explore questions about time pressure and dietary behaviour\, the division of food and household l abour\, and the role of the built environment in food shopping. He will pr esent findings from initial analyses and discuss implications for future w ork.\n\nAbout Dr Widener\n\nMichael J. Widener is a Canada Research Chair (Tier 2) in Transportation and Health at the University of Toronto – St. George. He also serves as the Director of Health Studies at University Co llege\, and as an Associate Professor in Geography and Planning\, with a c ross-appointment in Epidemiology at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health . Outside of UofT\, Dr. Widener serves on various journals’ editorial bo ards\, is a member of CIHR’s College of Reviewers\, co-leads the Social and Health Factors Cluster of the Network of European Communication & Tran sportation Activity Researchers\, and co-chairs the Prioritizing Populatio ns theme of the Mobilizing Justice Partnership.\n\nDr. Widener is a health geographer whose research focuses on how public health affects\, and is a ffected by\, movement and transportation systems. His primary project at t he moment is an exploration of how time pressure\, transportation options\ , and divisions of household labour impact access to food and dietary beha viours. Additional studies are focused on the links between mobility\, men tal health\, and isolation for older adult populations\, and on how advanc ed geospatial technologies (like GPS) can be used to provide useful insigh ts for public health policy. In the classroom\, Dr. Widener teaches course s on geographic information science\, mapping health data\, and spatial st atistics at the undergraduate and graduate levels.\n\nExplore past seminar s\nAll MRC Epidemiology Unit seminars and events where slides\, audio or v ideo are available can be found at www.mrc-epid.cam.ac.uk/past-seminars/\n \nSign up for future seminars\nTo sign up for future seminars and/or other alerts 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 -epid.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 pr ovide you with the newsletter\, event and topic notifications you have sel ected above.
