I am active as a commenter and speaker in local and national media, as well as with community-based and faith-based groups. People usually ask me to talk about covid, the gender dimensions of paid and unpaid work, global health, reproductive health issues, and university ethics. 

Recently, during the covid-19 pandemic, I appeared in local, national and international media talking about the social and cultural dimensions of infectious disease. Here are a few instances: 

The limits of  personal responsibility . 

Why "pandemic-induced time disorder" turns us into the worst versions of ourselves.

The addictive thrill of anti-masker rage.  

What happens when politicians break the rules they set for other people. 

The need for caution in "re-opening".  

Some possible reasons why vaccination rates in Alberta stalled out far short of their target ...

... and what might work to bring vaccination levels up.

Here I am at a rally in 2012  protesting the University of Alberta awarding an honorary degree to the chair of Nestle Group. 

And here I am discussing gender and domestic violence on a news program. 

And in the Washington Post on the ethics of the global health response to the Ebola crisis in west Africa.

And in the Department of Sociology's 2017 Keywords series, speaking about gender.
