Home Economics Now celebrates the tradition of scholarship and research created by Dr. Eleanore Vaines during her thirty-year association with the School of Family and Nutritional Sciences at the University of British Columbia. Each of the nine chapters demonstrates the deep influence that Vaines scholarship, theorizing, and research has had on the next generation of scholars in home economics, human ecology, family studies, and education. The contributors highlight the recurring themes of Eleanore Vaines work: transforming practice through reflection guided by a moral vision, reimagining the world as our home, attending to the common good and the ecological values for living in harmony with our world, and uncovering the wholeness and sacredness of everyday life. This is a timely resource for students of home economics and home economics education at the university level, and for practising teachers and home economists, as well as scholars in the field.
