Hildegard Martens Toronto has been my home for thirty-plus years. Shortly after receiving my Ph.D in sociology from the University of Toronto in 1977, I went to work for the Ontario Government, where I still work as a senior analyst in labour economics. Previous publications include articles and reviews in academic journals, as well as government reports on a variety of labour market issues. During my time at university, I was particularly interested in social history and this remains a strong interest to the present day. In recent years, I have also become interested in creative writing. Nineteen years ago I made a right-angle turn in my life when I decided to become a single mother. Now that my son has left home for university and with retirement from the civil service on the horizon, I am once again contemplating a new direction in my life. |
