Historically, most recessions have been described as being "he-cessions"; most jobs lost were male dominated industries, and the women led sectors shortly followed.
When the Covid-19 pandemic started, women's employment was hit especially hard by the economic slow down that followed, causing some to call it a "she-cession." But what exactly does the term mean, why did it happen, and what does it tell us about the future of our economy?
For this Big Thinking Podcast episode, our host Gabriel Miller is joined by Armine Yalnizyan, the Canadian economist and writer who helped coin the term to discuss the she-cession and the broader impacts of economics crises on women.

When Vladimir Putin launched a new military offensive last February, Canada condemned Russia’s actions and support Ukraine. As the war spills into 2023, what should we know about this conflict? What are we to make of the competing narratives about the war’s political, cultural, and historical context? How is our understanding affected by mythology and misinformation?
Today, Miller is joined by Natalia Khanenko-Friesen, Professor in the Modern Language and Cultural Studies Department and Director of the Canadian Institute for Ukrainian Studies at the University of Alberta.
Her research areas are diaspora studies and migrant communities, oral history, folklore and Ukrainian studies, and she will use her expertise to help us answer the question "What don't we understand about the war in Ukraine?"
