Summary

Nurturer Time Shrinks explores the intersection of women's rising participation in the labor force and the consequent decrease in time dedicated to caregiving, a crucial topic within economics and social science. The book argues that as women's economic roles expand, their caregiving time shrinks, creating both opportunities and challenges for families and society. This shift necessitates a re-evaluation of traditional gender roles and the creation of new support systems.

 
Notably, the book utilizes national time-use surveys and labor force statistics to provide empirical evidence. The study progresses through three sections, first introducing core concepts like female labor force participation and the economic value of caregiving. It then analyzes trends in women's employment across various demographics and countries, followed by an examination of how increased work hours impact women's time allocation, particularly concerning childcare and elder care.

 
Finally, the book concludes by considering the consequences of this shift, including its effects on child development and the demand for formal care services, ultimately discussing relevant public policy implications. This book is uniquely valuable as it focuses specifically on the time dimension of caregiving in relation to women’s employment and work-life balance, analyzing the consequences of this shift for caregiving responsibilities.

 
By drawing connections to fields like gender studies, family sociology, and public policy, Nurturer Time Shrinks offers insights applicable to policymakers, employers, and individuals navigating the changing landscape of work and family life, advocating for a more equitable distribution of caregiving responsibilities and stronger social safety nets.

Deliberative Policymaking -...

Elizabeth Grant

A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year 
 
 
 
In Deliberative Policymaking, Elizabeth Grant advances a fresh framework for making collective decisions about US schools. Grant argues that education policy can be made better by improving education policymaking methods. Informed by accounts of policymaking actions as well as her own experience, she offers a keen assessment of which components of existing education policy and policymaking have been effective and which have not. 
 
 
 
Grant presents new approaches to the craft of policymaking. She endorses policy design thinking, including user-centered design; greater attention to education statecraft, such as reinforcing federal-state relations; and partnering with intermediaries who can help policymakers determine where the public interest lies. She underscores how these practices support democratized policymaking and implementation, which can lead to more inclusive, equitable policy. 
 
 
 
Grant notes that the success of policy work depends on civic capacity to initiate and sustain improvement efforts, and on policy's ability to meet the demands of the time. This book is essential for anyone who makes policy or is interested in education reform.

Frontiers: The Journey of Two...

Dr Prema Samy

We can’t always predict when the unexpected will happen. Dr. Siva Murugappan understands this more than most. As a general surgeon, he’s an expert on prevention and protocols. A stroke definitely wasn’t on the agenda; he’d just climbed Mount Kailash in Tibet, 21,778 feet above sea level. But four months later, a stroke is exactly what happened—right in the middle of a medical procedure on a patient. Dr. Murugappan quickly discovered the guidelines and their limitations won’t work for him, that he must forge his own path.
Frontiers: A Surgeon’s Journey through Stroke is a stroke survivor’s memoir through recovery and its expected and unexpected challenges. Told from the perspectives of Dr. Murugappan and his wife Dr. Prema Samy, Frontiers illustrates the ways stroke affects survivors and their loved ones alike.
More than anything, this is a story of perseverance. Dr. Murugappan refuses to accept the narrative imposed him, that he’ll never practice medicine as he did pre-stroke. Like climbing Mount Kailash, stroke recovery becomes his new frontier. Regaining his medical licence drives his rehabilitation. This new purpose becomes essential when Dr. Murugappan and Dr. Samy realize there is no precedent in Canada for a doctor reclaiming their licence post-stroke. Now, this frontier must be surmounted not only for himself but for anyone in a similar situation, regardless of profession. And while he undertakes these challenges, his wife and caretaker must overcome her own. How much can anyone endure? How much can their marriage take? Dr. Murugappan and Dr. Samy soon find out.
