Teaching Family? Care/Work Policy in Selected Family Courses in Canada's Research-Intensive Universities.

To what degree is explicit care/work policy taught in family courses in Canada's leading research-intensive universities? We analyze family courses in sociology departments and in political studies and women's/gender studies programs in Canada's 15 R1 universities to make a contribution to the scholarship of teaching and learning. This national scan marks a methodological innovation from curriculum studies that generally adopt a single-program or single-site focus. From a Canadian universe of 74 family courses, we identify 15 whose formal course calendar description explicitly addresses care/work family policy (measures to reconcile caring for young children with employment, through early learning and childcare, parental leaves, and child benefits).

Food Allergy Education and Management in Early Learning and Childcare Centres: A Scoping Review on Current Practices and Gaps.

Anaphylaxis has occurred in preschools/schools yet there are no consistent food allergy (FA) management practices in early learning and childcare centres (ELCC) across jurisdictions. Presently, there are no reviews that have synthesized FA-related knowledge and management practices within ELCC. We aimed to perform a scoping review of FA management in ELCC, and report on perceived gaps or barriers.
