Women’s Health & Urban Life (WHUL) was founded at University of Toronto Scarborough in 2002. The journal was established to provide a platform for critical social science research and other work on urban women’s health. WHUL was initially funded by Wellesley Institute, and then under the journal program of Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. The journal is now an on-line journal published at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. Two issues are published each year.

Papers are invited for a special issue edited by Leslie Nichols (Wilfrid Laurier University) on women and precarious employment for the on-line journal, Women’s Health & Urban Life. We invite manuscripts that address a full range of health topics as they pertain to women’s, children’s, and LGBTQ health, in Canada and other countries. We particularly welcome papers that address the structural and social determinants of health and the gender, class, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, national affiliation and other social locations. We also welcome manuscripts that address issues relating to public education, health care programs, and services that address (or fail to address) the specific needs of diverse groups living and working in urban or urbanizing areas and engage the aims of the journal – to inform policy change that promotes social justice.
