Elaine Weiner (McGill)

Portrait of Dr. Weiner

(PhD, University of Michigan, 2003). Associate Professor Department of Sociology McGill University since 2003. Professor Weiner’s research program to date has focused primarily on gender politics in Central and Eastern European societies. Her book, Market Dreams: Gender, Class, and Capitalism in the Czech Republic, compares Czech women’s experiences and understanding of the transformation of their work and family life during the Czech Republic’s transition from socialism to capitalism. She has also studied the adoption and implementation of equal opportunities legislation – as part of the obligations associated with membership of the European Union – in several Central and Eastern European states. Her research has also focused on some of the (dis)connections that occur in gender mainstreaming efforts, using the European Union as a case study. Her current research focuses on the different provisions and obligations (e.g. legal) relating to childcare in the Czech Republic and Canada, and their implications for gender equality.
