My current research focuses on two areas of inquiry in the sociology of aging. The first examines the provision of health and social care to elderly people, examined from the perspectives of agency providers, home care workers, elderly clients, and family carers. The focus is on three points of intersection: the nexus of public and private spheres, where workers provide publicly funded services in the private home sphere; of professional and non-professional labour, examining relationships between employers, co-workers, clients and caregivers; and of paid and unpaid labour, focusing on the emotional vs contractual nature of ‘care’, provision of unpaid time to meet client need, and the unpaid labour of family and friends in ‘sharing’ of care. This CIHR-funded project, Home Care in Canada: Caring at the Nexus of the Public and the Private Spheres, examines data from British Columbia, Ontario and Nova Scotia. Current research explores the application of the concept of ‘ensembles’ to the dynamics of care for older people, and the intersection of relational space and time dynamics in care in later life.
My second area of research focuses on Finland – Canada comparisons of issues of formal and informal care, working with post-doctoral fellow, Mari Aaltonen, Tampere University, Finland. In current analyses, we are examining two waves of data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging.
