Doctoral Fellow, Sociology, Carleton University

Sydney Chapados is a Doctoral Fellow at Carleton University in Sociology studying childhood, harm, and governance. She explores the various ways that harm towards children is conceptualized, mitigated, and responded to, with a particular focus on neurobiological discourses employed in child protective practice. She graduated with a Master of Arts in Sociology at the University of Windsor in 2020 after completing a Bachelor of Arts in Women's and Gender Studies and Sociology.

After spending time working in a shelter for women and families experiencing homelessness, Sydney began work on a project with the Victimology Research Centre at Algonquin College that explored system responses to homelessness during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on individuals with lived experiences of homelessness. Sydney has also written about children’s rights, girlhood, poverty, education, social services, downtowns and (sub)urban life.
