ABSTRACT Utilizing Curtis and Zurcher's (1973) and Klandermam's ( 1991 ) concept of the "multi- organizational field, my case study of the pro-family movement in Calgary in 1998 maps out different pro-family organizations: highlights ideological positions on social issues such as family, homosexuality, abortion, feminism and child care; identifies inter- organizational connections in the form of leadership linkages, infonnatiorvresearch exchanges and joint activities; and explores supportive and antagonistic relations between pro-famil y organizational allies and their organizational opponents. Based on a combination of documentary analyses of pro-family publications and semi-structured intemiews with six pro-family leaden my findings indicate ideological differentiation exists within the pro-family field; pro-family relationships with allies are characterized as respectful and relationships with organizational opponents are often adversarial. I conclude with a brief discussion of how feminists can confront the challenge presented by pro-family anti-feminism.

Through legislative advocacy, litigation, research, public education, and technical assistance to state and local campaigns, A Better Balance is committed to helping workers care for their families without risking their economic security. www.abetterbalance.org I facebook.com/abetterbalance I @ABetterBalance 2 | Introduction: Ten years ago, a group of women’s rights lawyers came together to launch A Better Balance: The Work and Family Legal Center (ABB). For decades, women and mothers had been steadily increasing their workforce participation in a marketplace that demanded longer and less predictable hours of all workers. Yet the unpaid and often invisible work of caring for children, the sick, and the elderly continued to fall, primarily, on the shoulders of women. And workplace policies continued to assume that a breadwinner (almost always male) and a caregiver (almost always female) divided the tasks of providing economic support and care for the family, even while demographic realities proved otherwise. The problem ABB set out to address was easy to see but hard living paycheck to paycheck. While the media spotlight to name. Alternatively called “the care crisis,” the “work-family shone brightly on professional and higher-earning workers, dilemma”, and “the time crunch,” growing tensions between it routinely failed to address the stark realities facing those work and family responsibilities were harming a majority of struggling to meet their families’ basic needs with little to workers, and weighing most heavily on women in low-income, no inancial safety net.

Moore, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________________ William L. Portier, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________________ David J. O’Brien, Ph.D. Committee Member ii ABSTRACT INSTITUTIONAL INNOVATOR: SARGENT SHRIVER’S LIFE AS AN ENGAGED CATHOLIC AND AS AN ACTIVE LIBERAL Name: Martin, Daniel Edwin University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. Anthony B. Smith This dissertation argues that Robert Sargent Shriver, Jr.’s Roman Catholicism is undervalued when understanding his role crafting late 1950s and 1960s public policies. Shriver played a role in desegregating Chicago’s Catholic and public school systems as well as Catholic hospitals. He helped to shape and lead the Peace Corps. He also designed many of the programs launched in President Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty. Shriver’s ability to produce new policies and agencies within a broader structure of governance is well known. However, Shriver’s Catholicism is often neglected when examining his influence on key public policy initiatives and innovations. This dissertation argues that Shriver’s Roman Catholic upbringing formed him in such a way as to understand the nature of large bureaucracies and to see possibilities for innovation within an overarching structure.

  • Canadian Foreign Aid and the Christian Right
    CANADIAN FOREIGN AID AND THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT: STEPHEN HARPER, ABORTION, AND THE GLOBAL CULTURE WARS IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA, 2006–2015 Erin Jex A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in fulfillment of the requirements for the M.A. in Political Science with a specialization in Women’s Studies Faculty of Social Sciences School of Political Studies University of Ottawa © Erin Jex, Ottawa, Canada, 2017 ii Abstract This thesis expands upon the concept of the global culture wars in sub-Saharan Africa from a Canadian perspective, focusing on the growing division within Canada between conservative, religious values and liberal, progressive ones (Caplan, 2012). This division led to a political and cultural realignment alongside the increased visibility and leadership of religious and faith communities in Canadian public and political life. Amidst this polarization, Conservative Party leader Stephen Harper was elected Prime Minister in February 2006. Under his leadership, a conservative, pro-family agenda was established. This agenda, which advocates a traditional understanding of family life and structure, in particular refers to a legally married, heterosexual couple with children. It was supported by the evangelical Christian population in Canada, which grew from a united religious community in Canada into a significant constituency of the Conservative Party. Harper’s tenure, coupled with the increased visibility and leadership of faith and religious communities significantly affected domestic and international policies during his tenure as Prime Minister, from 2006 to 2015. This thesis examines the Muskoka Initiative on Maternal, Child, and Newborn Health (Muskoka-MNCH) and shows how this initiative, which fostered anti-abortion rhetoric abroad, was utilized to appease the evangelical community’s anti- abortion position in Canada.

  • Constitutional Rights to Supervised Drug Injection Facilities in Canada Peter Bowal*, Kelsey Horvat
    OPEN ACCESS Review Constitutional rights to supervised drug injection facilities in Canada Peter Bowal*, Kelsey Horvat Haskayne School of Business, University ABSTRACT of Calgary, 2500 University Drive, NW, On September 30, 2011, the Supreme Court of Canada ordered the government of Canada to continue Calgary, AB, Canada, T2N 1N4 * Email: [email protected] to exempt Vancouver’s supervised narcotic injection facility from Canada’s criminal drug laws. The controversial clinic, known as Insite, had operated for eight years in one of the country’s most socially troubled and economically challenged neighbourhoods struggling with addictions to illegal drugs. Insite was the first of its kind in North America, although supervised drug injection facilities continue in Europe and Australia. In this article we describe what the court accepted as the factual outcomes of this clinic and the constitutional basis for this judicial rejection of government health and criminal policy. We also consider the implications of this decision for similar facilities across Canada. http://dx.doi.org/ 10.5339/irl.2013.3 Submitted: 30 August 2012 Accepted: 18 November 2012 ª 2013 Bowal & Horvat, licensee Bloomsbury Qatar Foundation Journals.
