URFA Status of Women Committee and the University Library Present: Feast or Family: Gendered Work and Lives in Saskatchewan's Oil Patch.

A Brown bag talk given by Emily Eaton (Department of Geography).

Saskatchewan's recent oil boom is reshaping rural lives and landscapes. In this presentation Emily Eaton provides an analysis of how the boom is reshaping gendered roles and work in oil producing areas of the province. The research is based on field work conducted over the summer of 2014 and includes interviews with oil workers and social service providers as well as ethnographic data collected while staying in campgrounds.
