A note from our Project Director, Andrea Doucet, and Project Manager, Jennifer Turner:
Hello colleagues and friends,
Our team has been busy on many fronts with research and advocacy work around important care/work policy issues and with events. In June, many members of our team participated in varied conferences taking place in Montreal (e.g., The Congress of the Social science and Humanities, the Work Family Researchers Network [WFRN], and the 21st Annual Seminar of the International Network of Leave Policies and Research [LP&R]).
We were also really pleased to have a full-day RC/W Partnership Strategy Session where we looked back on what we have accomplished and looked ahead to where we are going. It was wonderful to bring our community and university-based researchers and policy experts together, to share ideas, meals, and some good laughs. We are grateful to Morna Ballantyne (Child Care Now) and Vicky Smallman (Canadian Labor Congress) for facilitating this event and to everyone who attended (with most in-person and some online).
We have organized this newsletter into three sections: (1) events, (2) publications, and (3) team news. We hope you enjoy reading about some of our news and events from the past few months. This fall we will be developing our next phase of research projects and advocacy priorities based on the key priorities discussed in our recent Strategy Session.
