Abstract Across North America, a growing number of older adults have a core housing need and lack access to affordable, suitable or adequate housing. Although federal, state/provincial and local backdrops vary across Canadian and American contexts, seniors’ housing providers in both countries face similar challenges and must develop innovative policy and program responses to help older adults age in place. We hosted an international seniors’ housing conference to create a platform for cross-national collaboration among multidisciplinary seniors housing experts. This event offered an opportunity to exchange best practices, emerging research, and policy solutions, and establish a set of shared priorities for advancing seniors housing that were applicable to two nations with different social systems. This paper will reflect on the exchange of knowledge and best practices related to housing preservation, eviction prevention, and access to supports during COVID-19, and the lessons learned fostering a cross-national collaborative network of seniors housing experts.

AbstractThe purpose of this concluding chapter is to offer scholars, policy makers, and organizational leaders a preliminary framework for diagnosing barriers to engaged fatherhood and for generating policies, programs, and behavioral interventions to promote gender equity in parenting. We start by reviewing the case for engaged fatherhood to support the health and welfare of men and their families and to regain momentum in the stalled revolution toward gender equality. Building from the cross-disciplinary and cross-national collaboration that led to the construction of this edited volume, we propose three working principles for reducing the barriers to engaged fatherhood: (1) create individual, non-transferable parenting resources explicitly for fathers, (2) reduce economic conflicts between breadwinning and caregiving, and (3) build supportive social networks for engaged fatherhood. We explain how these principles apply to social policy, as well as to work and healthcare practices—the three fields of scholarship and practice represented at our original Fatherhood Experts Meeting. We conclude with suggestions for further cross-disciplinary, cross-cultural collaboration to enhance engaged fatherhood.

The specific institution where social science is most practiced, academia in the United States, creates biases and opportunities. Social science is slowly internationalizing, with more cross-national collaboration. Yet the American university system still accounts for a large share of social science and is the primary home for debates about its future. Despite constant claims of crisis, US universities are a stable and competitive global industry. Social science is doing well within American universities and expanding globally, but often doing so by enlarging applied rather than basic fields. Most research takes place in the current academic context, requiring attention to the recent history and incentives of universities. Cold War social science provides a window into related biases and successful efforts to overcome them.

Service design has gained ground in the field of education. This article aims to reveal current approaches of service design applied to higher education pedagogy. The methodological approach is thematic literature review. Great variation in the application of service design can be found through review of selected literature. Three key categories were used for analysis: service, method and value. Four main approaches emerge from the results: service design applied on (1) courses and assignments; (2) pedagogical methods or models; (3) pedagogical applications for specific groups and (4) pedagogy outside formal education. Managers, teachers or researchers can use the results of this study to develop higher education pedagogy with service design approaches. Results also indicate possibilities for further research in the area of participatory design, international and national collaboration or value creation.
