Author Information

Barbara Rahder, PhD, is professor emerita and former dean of the Faculty of Environmental Studies at York University in Toronto. She has over sixty scholarly, professional, and activist publications, most focused on issues of equity and access to housing and community services for women at risk of abuse. She is a former member of Canada's National Network on Environment and Women's Health, National Action Committee on the Status of Women, Women and Environments Education and Development Foundation, and Women Plan Toronto, and a current member of Planners Network-the [International] Organization of Progressive Planning. A Firefly Creative Writing course introduced her to non-academic writing, and from the first day, she was hooked. As Barbara wrote, she realized how much of her research and activism has been motivated by her early experiences. As a survivor of abuse who has undergone many years of intense therapy, she hopes her ability to heal may inspire others to seek help. Barbara lives with her two cats, Maggie and Pierre, in Toronto, where she enjoys painting, sculpting, gardening, and baking. Her favorite thing, of course, is playing with her toddler granddaughter Heron. barbararahder.wordpress.com rahder@yorku.ca
