SUMMARY:The Juggling Mother: Coming Undone in the Age of COVID
DESCRIPTION:On International Women’s Day\, join us for a conversation about COVID\, motherhood\, and paid and unpaid work. \nAmanda D. Watson is the author of The Juggling Mother: Coming Undone in the Age of Anxiety (2020\, UBC Press). The book explores how the popular representation of the contemporary mother — frantically juggling paid labour and unpaid care work — perpetuates established inequities of race\, gender\, class and ability. Mothers with the most power are complicit in the exclusion of less privileged ones\, but also in their own undoing. \nAt this event\, Watson will read selected passages from The Juggling Mother\, followed by a conversation with Michelle Eliot\, award-winning journalist and host of “BC Today” on CBC Radio One. Watson and Eliot will discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed and intensified the challenges of this idealized version of motherhood. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER \n\n\n\n\nWhen: Monday\, March 08\, 2021 2:00 PM \n\n\n\n\nWhere: Online event. A link and password to join the event will be sent to registrants via Eventbrite. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmanda D.

Michelle is an award-winning journalist with CBC Radio One\, and has become a familiar voice as a regular guest host on regional and national programs\, interviewing community members and prominent politicians\, as well authors and musicians such as Douglas Coupland and Bif Naked. But her true passion is for the open line\, where her skill at engaging callers probes further into their viewpoints and digs deeper into their personal stories. \n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Opener\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElder Syexwaliya (Ann Whonnock)\nSkwxwu7mesh Uxwumixw (Squamish Nation) \nAs taught by her late grandparents\, Syexwaliya supports families and shares cultural teachings and protocols within and outside of her community. Her passion is to see that Squamish culture\, language and ceremonies continue to be the cornerstone of the Nation for future generations and the culture carried on by future generations and her snichim (language) to be used\, not only by herself\, but for all the families and future generations in their daily lives and ceremonies. Let’s not let our Culture and Snichim die out! \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMC\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTravers\nSociology Professor\, Simon Fraser University \nTravers is a Professor of Sociology at Simon Fraser University.
