Janet Siltanen Festschrift: Researching Complex Inequalities: Issues, Practice and Pedagogy, In Honour of Janet Siltanen
By Amanda Wilson and Helin Burkay
We’re excited to share this new online project, a celebration of Janet Siltanen’s contributions to mentorship and scholarship. Originally conceived of as a festschrift, it has expanded to include a collection of essays, an interview with Janet and an archive of her Design Spine materials.
As the co-editors write in their introduction “Janet’s ongoing commitment to praxis and the consistency with which she weaves together theory and practice, not only in her scholarship but in everyday life. We wanted to create a space of reflection and conversation about Janet’s work in feminist political economy and post-positivist methodology, but we also wanted to highlight her approach to mentorship and what we’ve all experienced as her ethics of care.”
Janet retired in 2018 but remains a Professor Emerita in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Carleton University, and a valued friend and mentor to many.
