Paul Kershaw

Dr. Paul Kershaw is a farmer morning and night. By day, he is an academic, public speaker, media contributor and volunteer. In these latter roles, he is one of Canada's leading thinkers about family policy, receiving two national prizes from the Canadian Political Science Association for his research. 'Armed with a laptop and a raft of statistics,' The Province newspaper describes Kershaw as 'a one-man road show trying to change Canada one talk at a time.' Change is necessary, he argues, because Canada no longer works for all generations. At the University of British Columbia, in the College for Interdisciplinary Studies, Kershaw is the Human Early Learning Partnership (HELP) Scholar of Social Care, Citizenship and the Determinants of Health.
