I am a Professor of Sociology and Women’s and Gender Studies at Brock University and I hold the Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Gender, Work and Care.

My book Do Men Mother? which traversed, or began to, all three of these pathways, was awarded the John Porter Tradition of Excellence Book Award from the Canadian Sociological Association.

Excellent letter indeed to @TorontoStar: "Human rights cases have ruled that when employers establish shifts, they are required to accommodate the child-care responsibilities of working parents. Otherwise, they are discriminating on the basis of family status". #cdnchildcare
Great letter/ed on this to @TorontoStar from long-time feminist lawyer Linda Silver Dranoff http://bit.ly/38tnYMd She's so right "Here it is 40 years later, & the need for #cdnchildcare has been mostly ignored until now" #canfem #cdnpoli https://twitter.com/andreadoucet/status/1227955956312629248
