Sociology of home: Belonging, community, and place in the Canadian context
Bibliographic record
Abstract
"This original collection is the first to explore sociological analyses of home in Canada, drawing upon studies of family, urban and rural communities, and migration and immigration to interrogate the idea of home as a powerful site of identity, community, and belonging. The text examines how we conceive of home at the levels of personal homemaking, neighborhood community, and political ecology. The authors address the diversity of homes and lived experiences across Canada, from apartment dwellers in downtown Vancouver to a remote Inuit community in Nunavut. The edited collection looks at contemporary housing phenomena such as 'tiny homes' and condos, considers historical case studies, and includes chapters on youth homelessness and homemaking in marginalized communities."-- From by publisher description.\n\n\nThe first Canadian collection of its kind, Sociology of Home draws on sociological approaches to family, urban and rural communities, and migration and immigration to discuss the idea of “home”―an intensely personal concept that is, in its varying iterations, bound to larger economic and political systems.\n\nMoving from private homemaking to community building and political ecology, authors investigate home as a constructed space within the context of a diverse set of cultural, political, built, and natural landscapes that ground Canadian experiences. This comprehensive introductory reader explores a diversity of homes and homemaking and is an important contribution to the sociological studies of home, family, environment, gender, and social inequality.\n\nFeatures\nlooks at geographic contexts across Canada, including Vancouver, St. John’s, and the North\nincludes contributions from gendered, class-based, racialized, and Indigenous perspectives\nfeatures work by new and established scholars

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
