Dr. Richard S. Harris, Professor
Richard Harris is keen to support, and supervise, students who are interested in the twentieth-century history of urban housing and suburban development. Among other things, this could involve studying social patterns of settlement, processes of land development, and trends in housing finance. He is currently undertaking research on Canada, the United States, India, and South Africa. Potential applicants are encouraged to contact him directly to discuss areas of mutual interest.

Dr. Allison Williams, Associate Professor, CIHR Research Chair in Gender, Work and Health
Canadian workplaces are faced with the challenge of managing a workforce which is, due to health care restructuring, increasingly expected to provide unpaid caregiving to family members. This research program will examine how sex and gender is manifested in the interface between unpaid caregiving work and paid labour, recognizing that the role strain across these two entities causes ill-health for caregiver employees. In addition to building capacity for research on work and health that accounts for sex and gender, she will work with a range of knowledge users and non-academic collaborators to simultaneously foster the translation of that research into sex and gender sensitive policies and interventions that improve workers' health.
For further information, please contact Dr. Allison Williams at awill@mcmaster.ca or via phone at (905)525-9140, ext. 24334.
I am currently accepting masters (s) and doctoral students (s) and post-doctoral fellows (3) into my research program addressing the gendered aspects of caregiver-employees (2014-2019). PDF applications will be accepted by mail (electronic and hard copy) on an ongoing basis, with the start dates of Sept. 2014 (2 year), Sept. 2016 (2 year) and Sept. 2019 (1 year).
