Civic engagement refers to volunteerism and service-oriented activities and programs that expand community, ground social networks, help people, and make civil society possible. We find from this study that Canadian Arab youth give considerable service back to their communities, especially within the communities of their own cultural milieu, but also significantly within their wider Canadian municipalities, and that, on balance, they have higher rates of engagement than the wider Canadian youth population. In this paper, we problematize and substantiate many arguments about ethnic minority youth political participation through an analysis of the local community-care activism and civic engagement of Canadian Arab youth.</p>2023-01-01T00:00:00-07:00Copyright (c) 2023 Canadian Journal of Sociologyhttps://journals.library.ualberta.ca/cjs/index.php/CJS/article/view/29539Gender Differences in Organizational Commitment among Early Career Engineers in Canada2020-11-11T09:36:02-07:00Victoria OstenTo assess a possible explanation for persistent gender inequalities in engineering, this study examines gender differences in recent Bachelor of Engineering graduates’ intention to look for another engineering job three years after graduation. Applying organizational commitment theories, we examined gender differences in job and family characteristics, and feelings of these graduates towards their jobs to understand what underlying factors make these graduates look for a job with another employer. Based on logistic regression analyses of the National Graduates Survey 2013 (Statistics Canada, 2013), we found no statistically significant gender differences in intentions to leave. This indicates that job commitment is unlikely to be the reason for women’s underrepresentation in the occupation. However, women are more likely to look for a job with another employer when they feel overqualified for the work they are doing, are supervising someone at a job, are a visible minority, or when they have children. Moreover, significantly more visible minority men than white men are looking for a new job. These results have implications for the existing retention initiatives for women and visible minority engineers in Canada2022-12-31T00:00:00-07:00Copyright (c) 2022 Canadian Journal of Sociologyhttps://journals.library.ualberta.ca/cjs/index.php/CJS/article/view/29754Student Encounters with a Campus Crisis Pregnancy Centre: Choice, Reproductive Justice and Sexual and Reproductive Health Supports2021-05-24T11:14:39-06:00Sarah Rudrum<p>In a mixed methods study, I investigated student experiences of an on-campus crisis pregnancy centre. Participants sought testing, counselling, and referral to abortion and instead encountered religious, anti-choice messages. Taking a reproductive justice approach to understanding student needs, I argue that the study’s findings underscore the imperative that campuses provide accessible sexual and reproductive health services while simultaneously limiting campus access to anti-choice organizations.</p>2022-12-31T00:00:00-07:00Copyright (c) 2023 Canadian Journal of Sociology
