Kristin Blakely
I’m Kristin with an “in” in a world where everyone, even autocorrect, spells it with an “en.”
I write children’s picture books that contain both humor and heart.
I am a sociologist with a PhD in Sociology and Gender & Women’s Studies from Loyola University Chicago and I have taught in the university sector for twenty years.
I am an advocate and change-maker serving in various leadership capacities in the equity sector to advance progressive policies, mobilize resources and direct energies toward creating a more just, safe, equal and sustainable world.
I brave urban life in Toronto with my husband and our trilogy of sons and relish my time by the lake north of the city during the summer months.
I am a popcorn and Popsicle aficionado and I am madly in love with our goofy Bernedoodle.

PhD in Sociology and Women & Gender Studies, 2008
