“Not just somebody’s mother”: University Campus Daycare Co-operatives in Ontario and British Columbia, 1960s to 1970s
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Daycare is now a common sight on university campuses, but this was not always the case. Using the case studies of Simon Fraser University, the University of Toronto, and Queen’s University, this project examines the creation of daycare co-operatives on university campuses. The research makes clear that the formation of the co-operatives stemmed from the New Left and Women’s Liberation Movements. The radical ideology that the co-operatives took from these movements frequently caused friction and conflict with the liberal university and provincial administration. The co-operatives challenged and adapted to these pressures. They also challenged the nuclear family and the gendered division of care work. In the end, however, the projects were co-opted by university administration. Despite their inability to continue as co-operatives, these experiments in accessible and affordable daycare laid the groundwork for the recognition of the importance of childcare on university campuses and the responsibility of institutions to provide it.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
