Current Projects
We have conducted a systematic narrative synthesis analysis of the policies that are relevant to migrant care workers. We identify policies and practices that obscure care workers and the conditions of their labour, as well as the discriminatory impact of various policies and practices that support devaluing and delegitimizing the identities and labour of care workers. When the erasures, devaluing, and heightened authority come together, a “synergy of failures” emerges with the outcome of unreasonable limits to the autonomy and choice-making capacity of care workers, thus paving the way for human rights violations.
Flavors of Home: Assessing culinary diversity in Ontario's Meals on Wheels services
