  • Childcare Working Group Briefing Paper August 2013 Revised
    Childcare Working Group Briefing Paper August 2013 Revised November 2013 “Currently, I have no childcare and I am missing classes and my grades are reflecting this.” “I couldn’t afford childcare, so my son went to live with my mom.” “I have missed classes while waiting for the daycare centre to open. I would say that the stresses of daycare has caused my marks to fall. I have also dropped classes to work with my daycare schedule.” “I have missed classes … also, I have to drive out of my way (20 minutes) to pick up/drop her off .. this costs me $ in gas and time.” “A few times I had to bring my child to class and am very thankful I had nice professors” “My partner had to lower their course load and periodically takes a term off, as we have no childcare.” “…would help employee retention rates and increase job performance/satisfaction. I fully believe that a lack of access to appropriate childcare could result in the necessity for me to resign from my position at the end of my maternity leave” “it is astonishing that a workplace of this size provides little or no support for parents with children” 1 Summary: The Working Group has identified that there is a shortfall of access to childcare spaces on the Fort Garry, Bannatyne, Thompson and William Norrie campuses. By our very conservative estimates, UM has approximately 3,210 student parents, 3481 continuing/ permanent faculty parents, and 1,101 parents who are members of the staff (continuing/ permanent). For all four campuses, there are 128 spaces in 3 facilities (16 in PlayCare, 60 in Campus Day Care at the Fort Garry campus and 52 in Makoonsag on the Selkirk campus).

The work of a new generation of scholars is especially encouraged, and the books employ a variety of approaches – cultural, social, intellectual, economic, political, and comparative – to investigate gaps in the existing historiography.

    THE EXPERIENCE OF WOMEN AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA, 1906-1956.

Department of The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 DE-6 (3/81) ABSTRACT This study of the coeducational experience of women at the University of British Columbia from 1916 to 1956 is threefold. It examines how the institution adapted to the female presence, the ways women assimilated or accommodated themselves to their environment, and the relationship of the changing climate of social expectations of women to the purposes of women's education and their experience at university. The study is placed in both a thematic and a regional context. The thematic framework is suggested by the historiography concerned with women's admission to universities in the nineteenth century.

  • The Work of the Subcommittee on the Post-War Problems of Women, 1943*
    "Pigeon-Holed and Forgotten": The Work of the Subcommittee on the Post-War Problems of Women, 1943* By Gail CUTHBERT BRANDT** In January 1943, a special subcommittee of the federally appointed Advisory Committee on Reconstruction was created to enquire into the difficulties likely to confront Canadian women once peace was concluded. This Subcommittee on the Post-War Problems of Women, composed of ten prominent Canadian women, presented its final report to Cabinet on 30 November 1943. It contained many proposals for improving the status of Canadian women; however, the impact of its work was weakened by its class bias, un­ realistic time limits, the complicated nature of the reconstruction bureaucracy, and the lack of significant change in public attitudes toward women's role. Afin d' etudier les difficultes que devraient sans doute affronter les Canadiennes au lendemain des hostilites, on crea en janvier 1943 un sous-comite special du Comite con­ sultatif de Ia reconstruction sociale mis sur pied par les autorites jederales. Ce sous-comite, qui comprenait dix Canadiennes jouissant d'une grande reputation, soumit son rapport final au cabinet le 30 novembre 1943. On y trouve maintes suggestions visant a ameliorer le statut de Ia femme, qui se heurterent cependant aux prejuges sociaux, a des obstacles bureaucratiques eta l'inertie de /'opinion publique a l'endroit de Ia condition feminine. By 1941, the nation was as preoccupied with the implications of peace as it was with the exigencies of war. Reconstruction - that resound­ ing phrase encompassing Canadians' aspirations for an improved society after World War I - was once again a national byword; authors expounded on it, politicians promised it, and most Canadians waited impatiently for it.
