Gender, Migration, & The Work of Care

Workshop: Sue Yeandle

Big thanks to Sue Yeandle, Professor of Sociology and Director of CIRCLE, University of Leeds, UK. During her brief visit here at the University of Toronto, we were fortunate enough to have Sue spend some time with us in the CGSP. Sue gave an info-packed talk on her current research in the area of family, work, and family carers. We also heard about the work undertaken at CIRCLE on carer, caring and employment, and the cost of caring. Following this, we had a good number of questions from students and faculty. Sue also has a recent book she co-edited, Combining Paid Work and Family Care: Policies and Experiences in International Perspective. You can check it out on Amazon.com!
