Introduction EMPR 240

Hello! My name is Jacqueline and I am a second year Concurrent Education student at Queen’s University in Kingston. I am majoring in geography and I love teaching! I love being outside and sharing my passions about the beautiful outdoors with students! One of my most memorable jobs was when I was a hockey coach for a girls novice roster select team. Being able to coach young players into better athletes while building relationships with them and their families is an experience I will never forget. I am most excited to learn about how we can combat inequality and unfairness in the work place. With the recent movement for #equalplayequalpay, I believe wage regulation is important and inspiring. The driving factor of the hashtag “equal play, equal pay” was started when the United States Women’s National Soccer Team won the World Cup for the second time in a row, yet they still got paid drastically less than the men’s national team which was extremely less successful than the women’s team. I look forward to meeting and working with everyone! Have a great semester!

  1. Hi Jacqueline,

    Thanks so much for you post! I really enjoyed reading it and I can tell that you are very passionate about workplace issues such as #equalplayequalpay. Equality and fairness are very important concepts in the workplace and I’m personally working on a project on pay equity for my Human Resource Management course at the moment. Best of luck with the rest of the semester!

    Best,
    Sean

    1. Hey Sean,
      Thanks for reading my piece! That’s very interesting that you’re working on a project for pay equality. It is definitely an issue that needs to be addressed, and has recently been prominent in main stream media.
      All the best,
      Jacqueline
