introduction

conclusion

Although the gwd has a "virtual" reality online, it is "housed" in the School of Social Sciences, Atkinson Faculty, York University. The initiative is made possible through the generous support of the Canadian Foundation for Innovation, the Ontario Innovation Trust, the Housing, Family and Social Statistics Division of Statistics Canada, and the Vice-President Research and Innovation at York University.

The gwd is a collaborative effort involving a large number of researchers studying gender and work, statisticians, librarians, and specialized technical experts at York and beyond. Please see our credits page for an extensive list of those involved. The gwd is a product of their creativity, hard work and commitment. Its ultimate success, however, depends on its use by researchers like you. With that, I welcome you to the website and encourage you to contribute to actualizing its research potential.
