Earlier this year Kristy Buzard, associate professor of economics, and her co-authors, Olga Stoddard and Laura Gee, released a study entitled "Who You Gonna Call? Gender Inequality in External Demands for Parental Involvement." Their research — which focused on heterosexual parents — suggests that schools will often default to calling a student's mom when something is up, even when both parents expressed a desire to share the responsibility equally.
"So many of the calls come to them [mothers], even though they're in kind of very demanding jobs [and] they've told the schools to call their children's fathers," says Buzard.
Listen to her full interview on CBC Radio (Oct. 31 episode, starts at 1 hour and 3 minutes) or read an excerpt of the conversation in the article, "Schools often default to calling a student's mom instead of dad, study suggests."
