Lived Experiences of Skilled Indian Women Immigrants (Siwi) Navigating the Covid-19 Pandemic: Immigration Trajectories to Canada
“Place matters”: Midwives’ interprofessional relations in rural and urban institutional contexts
In the past, research highlighted interprofessional conflict among health professions over authority and practice rights in healthcare fields with advanced divisions of labour. More recently, scholarly attention has turned to interprofessional collaboration; however, there is evidence that inter-professional conflict persists. Moreover, there are signs that internal heterogeneity within professions is rendering interprofessional conflicts more co…
Canada's Migrants without History: Neoliberal Immigration Regimes and Trinidadian Transnationalism
Temporary migration programmes have re‐emerged as a preferred mechanism for regulating labour migration in many migrant‐receiving countries in the past decade. In this paper, I consider the role of shifting Canadian immigration policies, notably the expanded streams for temporary workers, in the changing flow of migrants from Trinidad to Canada. Temporary programmes can bring workers to Canada relatively quickly, but they limit access to permanen…
A clash of histories
This article considers the confrontations between immigrant and non-immigrant workers in the workplace and the implications of these confrontations for workplace unity and class formation. Contributing to scholarship at the intersection of history, class, and migration, the article argues that workers bring to work histories that are constructed as oppositional. The roots of these oppositions lie in shared but different histories of dispossession…

Agency and the Gendered Imagination: Women's Actions and Local Culture in Steelworker Families
The transformation of a segment of the Hamilton working class in the space of a couple of decades—from lifestyles supported by good jobs that, given the global demand for steel, seemed certain to last forever, to week-to-week insecurity and shattered gender expectations—came about not only through structural shifts in the global economy, but through the agency of the members of steelworker families as well, all mediated by local cultural ideas an…
Contingent Work, Disrupted Lives: Labour and Community in the New Rural Economy
Contingent Work, Disrupted Lives examines the repercussions of economic globalization on several manufacturing-dependent rural communities in Canada. Foregrounding a distinct interest in the 'grassroots' effects of such contemporary corporate strategies as plant closures and downsizing, authors Anthony Winson and Belinda Leach consider the impact of this restructuring on the residents of various communities. The authors argue that the new rural e…

Feminist Memorializing and Cultural Countermemory: The Case of Marianne’s Park
A Female Economy: Women's Work in a Prairie Province 1870-1970
Industrial Homework, Economic Restructuring and the Meaning of Work
The recent renaissance of industrial homework is attributed to the search for flexible labour in processes of economic restructuring. This paper argues that common-sense ideas about the meaning of work in western capitalist society underpin the use of industrial homework as a flexible strategy for economic efficiency in the context of corporate and state restructuring of the economy. Drawing on an ethnographic study of homework in Southern Ontari…
Citizenship and the Politics of Exclusion in a 'Post'-Fordist Industrial City
■ This article examines the experience of modernity for steelworkers and their families in Hamilton, Ontario who now face unprecedented insecurity in production relations at the same time that they encounter shifting ideas about the welfare state. The article argues that at a time when the material conse quences of exclusion from entitlement are real and often frightening, these people draw on the discourse of modernity, and in particular ideas a…
Geology of the West Leeville Deposit
The West Leeville deposit is a deep, high-grade refractory gold deposit located on the Carlin Trend, 1.5 miles north of the Carlin Mine, Eureka County, Nevada. The deposit is part of a large gold system, extending northwest from the Carlin deposit. At a cutoff of0.200 oz/st, the deposit contains a drill-indicated resource of 7,287,984 tons at an average grade of 0.436 oz/st gold (3,177,561 ounces gold). The majority of the resource is located on …

Bringing “Globalization” Down to Earth: Restructuring and Labour in Rural Communities
Cette étude de cas sur des travailleurs licenciés dans un comté rural de l'Ontario s'inscrit dans le cadre de la controverse au sujet des effete, sur les travailleurs et la société, de la libéralisation du commerce et de la restructuration économique. En nous fondant sur l'expérience des travailleurs licenciés, la durée du chômage, la comparaison entre les anciens et les nouveaux emplois ainsi que sur la baisse des revenus, nous fournissons des d…
Flexible’ work, precarious future: Some lessons from the Canadian clothing industry

Selon l'auteure, on a toujours reconnue que la souplesse était une caractéristique du capitalisme, sans pour autant reconnaǐtre que le phénomène comporte une différenciation sexuelle. Le régime de travail souple existe depuis longtemps dans l'industrie du větement, où elle prend les formes de la sous‐traitance…
