Board gaming and the gendered division of leisure by Met Radio published on 2022-08-19T17:33:43Z Studies show that women don’t have as much leisure time as men. But board game researcher Tanya Pobuda found a deeper pattern in their doctoral dissertation. In interviews with board game enthusiasts, women reported they had not only less time, but lacked the mental energy at the end of the day to play these games. We’ll hear from Pobuda about the importance of board games, their findings and how the industry is starting to make innovative games that work better with people’s busy schedules. Plus, a sociology professor studying gender, work and family at the University of Toronto will help us understand the gendered division of labour outside of this niche board gaming group. Then, Daniel Centeno will give us the rundown on the increase coming to Ontario Disability Support Program recipients. He’ll speak with a disability rights advocate on the minimal difference made by the 5 per cent hike. Genre News & Politics
