Professor Cynthia Cranford is an
Assistant Professor of Sociology at the Mississauga campus of the
University of Toronto. Her main research areas are gender studies, race
and ethnic studies, and industrial relations. Dr. Cranford’s current
research project is entitled “Restructuring, Gender and Citizenship:
Personal Home Care in Ontario and California.” This comparative study,
based on analysis of interviews and policy documents, focuses on how
the changing employment relationship intersects with inequalities of
gender, disability and race-ethnicity. This study is funded by the
SSHRC-CURA grant “Community-University Alliance on Contingent Work” and
the Connaught Start-up Award. It will provide the basis of a larger
project focusing on care-work relationships among service recipients,
paid workers and unpaid caregivers in different contexts.
