Bio/Research
Dr. Paul Kershaw is a farmer morning and night. By day, he is an academic,
public speaker, volunteer and media contributor. Kershaw is one of Canada’s
leading thinkers about family policy, showing its important contributions to
crime prevention, going green, population health, school achievement, Truth &
Reconciliation, gender equality and business profitability. His contributions
to public dialogue are innovative, provocative and fervently committed to the
evidence, making Kershaw difficult to categorize. While the Tyee implies Kershaw
is part of a right wing conspiracy, public investment skeptics suggest Kershaw
is socialist. CKNW radio jokingly calls him the “Boomer Hater,” while Canadian
Family magazine describes him as “the ‘Generation Squeeze’ guru.” Twice the Canadian
Political Science Association has awarded Kershaw national prizes for his policy
research and feminist theory. “Armed with a laptop and a raft of statistics,”
The Vancouver Province describes Kershaw as “a one-man road show trying to change
Canada one talk at a time.” Change is necessary, he urges, because Canada no
longer works for all generations. At the University of British Columbia, Kershaw
is on Faculty with the School of Population and Public health and the Human Early
Learning Partnership (HELP), where he is a Mowafaghian Foundation Scholar.
