Sara Cumming, Professor of Sociology at Sheridan College, spent almost a decade teaching Introduction to Sociology to undergraduates in a university setting before taking on the same role in the college environment in 2013. Her primary research interest is in the area of gender and social
inequality. She has written several articles that focus on inequities in Canadian social policies, focusing particularly on social assistance, subsidized housing, subsidized childcare, and student loan programs. In addition, Dr. Cumming has written a number of chapters on the discipline of sociology
and its sub-disciplines for textbooks. She is currently engaged in her SSHRC-funded research <"Community Ideas Factory,>" a project designed to pinpoint gaps in services in the not-for-profit sector and to find creative solutions in partnership with key stakeholders. In addition to her academic
career, Dr. Cumming is the executive director of Home Suite Hope, which unites a network of vital support services for single parent-led families which support them on their journey from poverty to stability.
